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

panda21 · Apr 23, 2012

woowoo

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

hank_tree · Apr 23, 2012

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

Not sure if that's been confirmed.

kassatsu · Apr 23, 2012

wtf is SEN.

wrowa · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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

Sony Entertainment Network.

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

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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

Pretty much what Tellatale does.

Lonestar · Apr 23, 2012

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

EdibleExplosives · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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

EteRnal PAL · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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

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

R3TRODYCE · Apr 23, 2012

Oh, nice IGN review!

Dysun · Apr 23, 2012

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

KorrZ · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

This looks awesome! Count me in for the Season!

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

hamchan · Apr 23, 2012

Looks pretty awesome!

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

Reluctant-Hero · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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 · Apr 23, 2012

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

Akia · Apr 24, 2012

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

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

Deleted member 59090 · Apr 24, 2012

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

SuperSonic1305 · Apr 24, 2012

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

Daigoro · Apr 24, 2012

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

ElRenoRaven · Apr 24, 2012

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 · Apr 24, 2012

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 · Apr 24, 2012

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 · Apr 24, 2012

Suuuuper excited.

Andiie · Apr 24, 2012

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.

Teknoman · Apr 24, 2012

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/122/1223558p1.html

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

Mengetsu · Apr 24, 2012

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

Andiie · Apr 24, 2012

Yeah, I'll post the video review as well if people are interested. Youtube version.

Aeana · Apr 24, 2012

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

Cudder · Apr 24, 2012

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?
