this is what's passing for a retail game in 2013?
this game is burning up the charts on amazon!
sigh.
will buy... when it's 50% or more off, simply because it has daryl and uses the voice actor from the show. i really want to just pass completely but i'm too curious. love the show and comics T__T

They are? Their output over the past decade has been poor/incredibly inconsistent.

Would've been fun with co-op. Oh well...
I love the comics, got hooked when it was still in the teen issues. Love the show. Loved the Telltale games BUT this looks like a steaming turd of a money grab. 
Will wait for redbox or eventually gamefly it. I hope i'm wrong but the whole hiding of footage and embargo plus price quietly screams we hope the name sells it.

Hmm interesting. Looks very linear. That in itself though doesn't make it bad. Graphics aren't going to be anything to write home about but neither was Ghostbusters or any of their other games.
Yea. They've never really been a AAA developer but they know that and do an ok job. I find that when I have played a few of their games I've enjoyed myself. Overall once in awhile you just have to take a chance. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose when you do. But it would get boring if you stuck to the AAA top of the line games all the time. I'd have missed some real gems if I had. I should have it soon. Changed my mind and went with the WII U version from Toys R Us. Not paying the 60 plus the seller on Amazon wants. But when it comes in I will give my thoughts without a doubt. That's the one nice thing about them doing all 3 versions. It should be pretty much the same between all 3.

well..maybe Skyrim on consoles/
this does look like a terrible cash in, not like anyone was surprised by that I suppose

That's actually explained in the show and comics. Loud noises draw walkers. Hence if you can kill one quietly it doesn't draw a bunch to you. So they tend to try and use quiet means of dispatching them. Speaking of the game is anyone doing an OT for it?

With a series as popular as TWD, couldn't they have put a LITTLE more effort into it?
No, but still, that's an odd thing to post.

I love the walking dead, but I wouldn't pay $5 for this. I'm not much of a shooter fan, so. If it was more like fallout, then yeah, but its not.

TT's will look better and have a better story, but I'm not sure which one will be buggier.
best part was the opening credits. will still buy, eventually

I like the simplicity of it all. Four slashes with a knife and the zombie is down. No need to destroy the brain, it simply drops dead.
One thing I do appreciate is the lack of regenerating health. Seems they've made a health system that actually punishes the player for going in all knives slashing.
They are obviously stuck in the mode of license games and casual fair but I enjoyed ghost busters and and Blood Rayne also the Def Jam game was fun for what it was. Like others not expecting game of the year I like the ip the premise of the game seems interesting as long as it's not broking and I don't think they have ever shipped a broken game. It should be worth a Play not sure about a buy though.

Exactly. You don't go into their games expecting AAA. Hell I think Ghostbusters was as close as they've ever come to AAA and it was damn good. However even it I'd call a AA game at best. Most of the time you go in expecting a brief diversion that at 20 or less is worth it. This one I'm fully going in expecting it to probably to not even be worth that.
I'd never buy this for over $5 but it really does look more engaging than the first 8 minutes of the TellTale game. That's not really saying much but...

Reminds me of Dead Island on a budget... and that's saying something.

How'd you get it early? I wish someone around me had it.

Yea I have to say that was the most interesting thing I saw in that. Makes me wonder if any of the choices like that will truly affect the story or not. If so that could be pretty interesting.
Having just finished the first four episodes of Telltale's game, i think objectively it's a a very good interactive experience. The worst i could say is, none of the puzzles have been particularly difficult. I think what you mean to say is, you have no interest in the genre.
That would be an incredibly stupid move.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Activision got rid of a guy who posted 3 vids it seems. He put 3 up and now all have been removed due to copyright issues. I also have no clue if his copy was legit, sure seemed like it.
They really don't want anyone to see this game before it's released *shrug*

Watched a couple gameplay vids on youtube and even tho it doesn't look very good I still want to play it :/
It's like...
Wow.
The zombies, animations, graphics... It all looks like crap.
I love zombies games but this is just brutal to watch ( not as in the kills, but how bad it sadly is gonna be)
It's like a linear, story driven Warz...
Activision thought it was good to cancel True Crimes: HK, but are ok with developing this crap? Yea ok.

If the game itself didn't look sad enough, listening to Michael Rooker being forced to discuss the game (which he clearly knows nothing about) was especially painful.
But I suppose that means he doesn't know it's a huge piece of shit, so there is that.
