Xbox Live. Unless this is a mistake listing: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...d-a09ec06ac588

edit: aw man, thought it was the whole series for $15 but you have to buy the first episode separately for $5. So $20 for the entire season.

Yes I hope everyone reads that properly and doesn't buy it and think they get the first episode aswell!

Damn, i really want to play this on my Ipad but i guess i'll have to wait. I'd have to wait for the episodes anyway though...

I wonder why they didn't announce it on IOS already, it's probably expected that they soon will, maybe because they didn't want to deal with IOS7 yet?

Excited to play, but I'm mostly posting here to show off the beautiful Fables covers. Seriously my favorite comic covers.

Those are some rather pretty covers. Fables is probably the only large-publisher comic I've enjoyed in the last decade or so, and I thought The Walking Dead was well done, but I'm waiting for one of the more, I'm, discerning Euro outlets to sell me on it. Doesn't seem as if they're in any hurry to post release day reviews of this. Come on. Do the Dew.

Does this spoil the comics? I haven't read them (I plan to) but I seem to recall there was a major mystery that spanned the first 70 or so issues. Will the game spoil that?

This is a prequel set before the comics, so from what Telltale have said, it shouldn't

Anyone in here who has finished playing on 360? Just hoping there aren't too many technical issues. Won't be perfect I'm sure, but as long as it's somewhat close to Walking Dead then I'm good.

Framerate is ropey at times to be honest

Nope, on the 360 it's structured that the 1st episode is $5 and the season pass for the remaining episodes is $15. Still $5 cheaper than the pc version.

I swear, TellTale are the must frustrating developer in this regard. Great concepts & execution, let down by technical implementation and customer service.

I did the PC Gamer review, and encountered two very minor framerate stutters during panning camera movements that The Walking Dead had a whole lot more of. It's the same engine, but definitely ran more smoothly for me. Other than that, it ran flawlessly at 1440p. No glitches. Can't comment on the console ports, or if there will be any issues with transferring save files like there were with season 1, but the episode's performance was great.

I saw it for $22.99 on the Steam app on iOS, but couldn't buy it earlier. Now it's back to $24.99. Oh well.

Before I pull the trigger, is there some deal I can take advantage of to get the Steam copy for slightly cheaper?

Yeah, same problem as with TWD, game crashes when launching it on PC and xbox controller is connected. Fixed it by downloading the dinput8.dll file meant for TWD from PC gaming wiki.

Remember to unplug your 360 controller before playing, or download the DLL from here and throw it in your Wolf Among Us folder.

Finished the first episode on 360.

It pretty much has the same technical problems TWD had minus the sound cutouts (which I guess is something).

Took me like an hour and a half to two hours, so it is pretty much exactly like an episode of TWD.

Actually maybe scratch it on the DLL fix. It'll allow you to launch the game with a controller plugged in, but for some reason the analogue sticks don't work (at least on mine).

Technically, it could totally spoil it but they definitely won't because I can't see Wilingham or DC letting them.

I like Fables a lot and definitely recommend reading the first big arc (up to #75 or the first 10 trades). The consensus is harsher on what follows but I'd say the series has been back to consistently good for a year now.

So, the PS3 version is in the next PSN update?

Did you buy directly from Telltale's website or through Steam? Steam doesn't have the authentication requirement. Also, as of this post, the Telltale website still doesn't allow you to download the game. I guess this is what I get for supporting the developers directly, huh?
