[R dott B]

Just preordered the season pass on Steam, can't wait!

[panda21]

woowoo

i preassume the individual eps will cost more than the bundle on steam too?

[hank_tree]

It says here that the Xbox version is out on the 25th

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...5-d802584111de

Not sure if that's been confirmed.

[kassatsu]

wtf is SEN.

[wrowa]

Will it be possible to buy the episodes indvidually on Steam too?

This is the best-looking Telltale game in quite a while (actually, on a graphical level it seems to be way above everything they've produced up to this point), but I would like to try a single episode before buying everything.

[RPGCrazied]

Getting the pre-purchase tomorrow on PSN, getting that theme.

[salromano]

wtf is SEN.

Sony Entertainment Network.

Not sure why people are using the abbreviation over PSN, however.

That was the point.

SONY ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK

Which PSN is a part of. You don't go to the SEN store to buy the game.

Yes, it will be out on XBLA this Wednesday.

[fluffydelusions]

Still not sure if I should drop money for the season pass...I guess I'll wait on some reviews

IGN - 8.5 (first episode) - http://ps3.ign.com/articles/122/1223558p1.html

The Walking Dead: The Game is off to a great start with A New Day. It has a believable cast of characters and a great look. Sure, the puzzles some adventure gamers love are missing and there will be an audio hiccup here and there, but as an introductory hook to the five-episode series, The Walking Dead Episode 1 has just about everything fans could want.

[OG Kush]

The trailer doesn't really show shit. What type of game is this? Point and click adventure?

Pretty much what Tellatale does.

[Lonestar]

And bought, solely off of the early interviews on the producers and Whitta, and it's The Walking Dead.

[EdibleExplosives]

I like the tv show, absolutely love the comic but I'm still not sold on this game yet. I think I'll wait for more impressions after it's out before buying it.

[Akia]

I pre-ordered on Steam because this game is Jake and Sean's baby.

Idle Thumbs for life.

PSN users are lucky being able to purchase the episodes individually.

[RPGCrazied]

Worth a mention, but if you pre-purchase this on PSN, you save $5 and get a premium theme.

[EteRnal_PAL]

Fan of the TV show and love what I've seen of the game so far. And at $5 an episode, easy day one for me.

[Lonestar]

The premise of the various choices (i.e. life and death) carrying over all the games, is another thing I'm interested in. Hopefully more in depth than what ME gave us.

[derFeef]

Season pass bought on Steam. Hope it's good!

[EdibleExplosives]

PSN users are lucky being able to purchase the episodes individually.

I completely missed that in the OP, I'll probably buy the first episode then to see what it's like.

[R dott B]

Oh, nice IGN review!

[Dysun]

I'll check it out but I would have preferred a different developer tackle a Walking Dead game

[KorrZ]

This has a great look to it, really nails the graphic novel style. For $4.99 it seems more than worth it to at least check out the first episode on PSN. Any word on the length of each episode?

[dreamfall]

This looks awesome! Count me in for the Season!

[Ponn01]

PSN users are lucky being able to purchase the episodes individually.

I don't know, I feel luckier with this.

Worth a mention, but if you pre-purchase this on PSN, you save $5 and get a premium theme.

[hamchan]

Looks pretty awesome!

Jake and Sean co-project leaders means it gets my money.

[Reluctant-Hero]

How do Telltales's games do on 360 vs PS3? Basically, which console provides the better experience with past games that were released on both platforms?

Telltale seems to have a great relationship with Sony

[RPGCrazied]

I've only played some of the back to the future on PS3. It looked fine from what I played. I doubt the settings are at HIGH, probably MEDIUM graphic settings.

[Sciz]

Mighty fine art, coming from Telltale. Hits a nice middle ground between the realistic grit of L4D and the graphic novel stylings of Borderlands.

[Reluctant-Hero]

Sounds like I should just purchase the $20 PSN version. Thanks!

[Akia]

I am glad this game has a different main character than the comics/TV show

[Raoh]

Worth a mention, but if you pre-purchase this on PSN, you save $5 and get a premium theme.

Cool.

Me too, that was one of the things that caught my attention early on.

[Blizniak]

They don't sell the steam version on the official site do they?

[SuperSonic1305]

It will probably end up free on PS+ in a few months.

[Daigoro]

demo better be killer. i am not sold. i want to be sold, but i aint. yet.

[PsychoRaven]

Oh goodie. I was wondering if we would have an OT for the game. It's so nice. My games list now has a Walking Dead banner at the top on the TellTale site. I always love seeing them prepping for the release.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Whoa this is out tomorrow already?!

I think I will wait for more reviews/impressions before I drop money on the season pass though.

[Teknoman]

It looks great, but had no idea you had to purchase the full season on steam. The first 30 minutes looked great so I guess i'll wait for reviews too.

[Symphonic]

Suuuuper excited.

[Andiie]

I'm surprised, this actually looks pretty damn decent judging by the ign video review. Might have to pick it up, $25 is a little steep though.

Edit: Oh, it's for all five episodes... Not too bad.

First review?

9.0 Presentation
A New Day is a great story filled with cool moments and fleshed-out characters.

8.5 Graphics
Some of the art has sharp edges and tiny details look blurred, but overall, the comic book style is colorful and inviting. It's a pretty game.

8.5 Sound
Great voice acting brings the characters to life. Still an audio issue -- a character suddenly becomes softer -- here and there.

8.5 Gameplay
The new control scheme is easy to get the hang of and fun to use. Not many puzzles. Kind of an interactive graphic novel, which I dig.

8.0 Lasting Appeal
I played it twice to see the other side. Real value will come as you play other episodes and see if your choices truly change the outcomes.

8.5
OVERALL
Great

[Matts Legacy]

Im ready. This will be just a point and click with no puzzles? What can I expect?

[Andiie]

First review?

Yeah, I'll post the video review as well if people are interested. Youtube version.
Walking Dead IGN Video Review

[Aeana]

This looks pretty cool. I think I'll get it. Too bad the iOS version doesn't seem to have a date?

[Cudder]

i havent seen the show or read the comics. just clicked on the thread out of morbid curiosity.

what the fuck?

those graphics are AWESOME.

edit: oh, it's not an action game?
