I'm okay with multiple perspectives. It's a staple of the series and a good way to cover multiple locations (including both continents) without huge time jumps that would ruin the while taking place during the events of the tv show thing.

I'm worried that this game might not run well on my PC. Both seasons of The Walking Dead ran fine, despite me not owning a gaming PC, but my PC is at least decent. This looks like a graphical leap. I might just have to wait to get it on PS4, if I have to, but I hope not.

Kinda surprised to see all of the familiar faces. I thought they would focus on a new set of characters entirely, since they don't really have the freedom to do anything interesting with the stars of the books/series.

Is that suppposed to be Catelyn in the third picture? Looks like they didn't get the rights to everyone's likenesses if so. That or awkward modeling.

I like those screens, pretty close to the look of the actual characters but still somewhat stylized, sort of like a painting of the actual people.

Console versions of Telltale games has always run worse than the PC versions though.

2. Five members of House Forrester.

Nope. Focuses on houses that aren't touched upon much in the show, and the story will be canon.

Less money risk, less demanding to prepare since they set the next episode only to release when they are ready, pacing.

That doesn't really give them much room to take risks.

Jurassic Park however was released all at once for some reason. The first episode even kept the "to be continued" screen and then the other episodes don't. Was always curious about that.

Not with the established characters, but if we follow people that will never get any time in the actual show or books, then Telltale can do pretty much whatever they want. As long as HBO says okay to it.

This is weird. House Forrester isn't explicitly canon in the books or the show, but yet, members of the house are interacting with huge characters like Cersei, Tyrion, and Margaery.

Would have just been easier to set it as a prequel series and further expand and build upon already existing lore.

So maybe we should wait and see what the story is to see if it makes sense?

Character models don't look that bad- I was curious how they'd do it, I was a little worried it might've been stylised like the Walking Dead with massive black outlines.

Still hype.

Not confirmed, but I seriously doubt Telltale can afford the actors.

They might be contractually obligated to appear in the game, but it's unlikely.

HBO could be pulling the needed strings to get the actors from the show. HBO is heavily involved with this product, and since its canon to the show, they want it to be up to the same standard.

Premiering soon, huh? Am I the only one alarmed that the first episode is coming so soon and yet we haven't seen a single goddamn screenshot? Let alone a trailer that's worth a damn? A couple of weeks ago we didn't even know the game what family was it going to center around!

All this radio silence makes me think Telltale doesn't have much faith in what they're making. I hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: so it seems a few hours ago some screens got leaked. Not convinced yet they're actual game screenshots though. We need a trailer soon!

It was the same thing with TWD game, we kept seeing Glenn in the screenshots when it was first shown, but Glenn was only in the first episode. we're probably only going to be seeing characters like Tyrion or Cersei once.

Considering it's published by HBO, I'd expect they'd have the voice actors.

Got a source for that? Not calling you a liar, I'd just like to see it as genuine because I couldn't stop cringing when I realized it won't have the same voice actors as the people who play the characters in the show.

Didn't bother me with Glenn though because TWD game is based off of the comic and not the show, so...

no source, I'm just trying to be optimistic, and it simply makes sense ya know. Feel free to shit on me when I'm wrong though.
