I would, yes. :) The first episode alone had quite a few heart pounding moments, and it was only like 2 hours long.

May 24th can't come soon enough.

Still need to start the second season of TWD though. This makes it easier for me to think about holding off til the summer sale.

Its ok. It hitches sometimes, but mainly only during transitional scenes. The final scene with a lot going on, the fps did get a little hairy, but nothing major.

Wait Season 1? So there will definitely be more than just 5 episodes?

To an extent but the show deviates in a lot of big ways. Not sure if any of those are relavant to the content in the first episode though as I haven't played it yet.

Since it's not up on Telltale's own shop yet, so I can't play the copy I paid for yet.

Between this and having trouble getting Back to the Future to launch on my Mac day one, I think I've officially learned my lesson about buying directly from Telltale. Disappointing too since I do like supporting the developer directly when possible. I guess I'll get over it if it's up by the time I get home from work, but really wanted to use work's much faster internet to download it.

If it sells like Sam & Max, maybe. But they have only said Season 1 for now. Both Back to The Future and Jurassic Park didn't get more than one season though.

Yeah I think it's actually a great game to watch as well as play as it plays out very much like episodic TV.

This. I have no preference whether I buy it on the PS3 or the 360, I just want to get whichever version has the fewest technical snags. What was the consensus on their efforts with Jurassic Park and BttF as far as comparative performance goes?

I went ahead and bought the season pass. I absolutely love this already, and I can't wait to see how Mr. Whitta's writing plays out in episode 4.

So conflicted lol. I want to grab the PC version after playing the PS3 demo...but since i've got an ATI card, I dont want to play the game (especially something as atmospheric as this) with no shadows...

This close to just pressing confirm on the PS3 episode 1.

Played and beat the PC version today. It was quite excellent. I haven't played an adventure style game in years and this one was a pleasant surprise. It definitely has a tense atmosphere and the choices you make generally lead to life and death, which I liked a lot.

Took me a couple hours to beat, and I'm already thinking about playing it again and making different choices to see what happens.

I experienced no issues with the game on PC with max settings on a pretty old ATI card, so I'm not sure what all that was about but anyone wary of technical issues should definitely pick the game up.

edit: I should add that I have shadows set to high as well on my ATI card.

So they aren't getting it up on the Telltale site tonight. Server issues totally screwed them. They are in the process of sending out Steam codes though to those that preorderd on the site. Got mine.

The next time on The Walking Dead sneak peak for episode two showed a bit too much. Hopefully I'll forget it all before the next episode releases.

That is a little more reassuring, maybe others were just having crossfire issues or something.

Another team green person on PC (GTX 680) and it's running without issue for me. Minor stuttering as data is being loaded in but nothing bothersome. Nearing the finale right now and I'm really enjoying it as a fan of the comic book and the show!

Absolutely, I am in a similar situation (only the 1st season of the show) very little of the comic. Had no problem getting into the story.

Got mine too and after complaining figured I should give them credit for the decision to hand out codes. Very cool.

I understand they're a pretty small company to have their own distribution platform so they understandably have some issues at times. Just wish they were a bit faster at communicating those things -- even if "oh my god, everything is on fire" kind of news isn't what almost any company likes to share with consumers.

Man, this game has been super good so far. I'm about halfway through the episode and I'm blown away at how intense it can get and how much I'm liking the characters/story. I think I'm actually enjoying it more than the TV series so far.

We were co-leads on Poker Night at the Inventory, Sean wrote and I directed episode 3 of Tales of Monkey Island, we were on the Puzzle Agent 1 and 2 story team together, and were co-leads on a game which got canceled before it was even in production. This is our first full series as co-leads though.

I saved Doug as he's based on Telltale's old web developer/IT guy (who also hosts and programs the idle Thumbs website).
