Well, there are lot of awards handed out every year. One year's worth of awards is not proof that Naughty Dog is the best game developer. And speaking of point and click games, I think TellTale is clearly making more than just those anymore. Tales of the Borderlands is a good example of that. Your definition of a linear game notwithstanding, Naughty Dog is still well below TellTale Games in terms of entertaining story-driven games, but if you want an example of a game developer that is up there, I'll give you Bioware, another developer which is now making more than just point and click games.
I'll admit Telltale tells better stories then Gears. Naughty Dog is the best game developer in the business. There is a reason that The La… morest of Us won so many game of the year awards, and a reason why Uncharted 4 will likely do the same. I will agree that Telltale are one of the best storytellers but saying they are better then Naughty Dog is wrong. Neil Druckman is best creative director in the business or has emerged to be the best in the past few years and there is nobody at Telltale with the same talent or ability. You can slot whatever developer wherever you want but I would choose Naughty Dog over Telltale any day of the week. Just another thing though, TLOA, Uncharted, Gears, Bioshock, they are all "linear" games with one ending/story...with the exception of Bioshock which as someone pointed out has different endings. (Still one story per game tho)
I mean look when you think about it Telltale's main focus or their sole focus … [view original content]
It's like Telltales the only developer that you think is capable of "entertaining story driven games", or that story driven games need to be the way Telltale makes them (point and click, great that they are evolving but it's still point and click just with quick time events). Sorry man but I think that even Telltale would admit they aren't as good as Naughty Dog. Jak and Daxter series, Uncharted series, The Last of Us (might be more games). I mean these are all Naughty Dog I.P's. Jak and Daxter, one of the best PS2 franchises of all-time. Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us both rank as probably the best games of their generation. And now we're onto Uncharted 4.......
I love Telltale and they are one of my favorite developers but I will recognize the greatest when I see it. The last of us was just the beginning. This game will repeat exactly what happened with TLOU. I mean if this isn't story driven entertainment then I don't know what is.

Somehow not story-driven entertainment
No, it wasn't. It hasn't even been confirmed that Season 3 will be this year, even though it's likely. All Telltale has confirmed is that there won't even be news on Season 3 until Michonne ends in April.
For future reference, Telltale is the only reliable source when it comes to release dates for their own games. Many sites spam false dates just to get some clicks. And if one does get it right, then that's just luck.
Okay, just finished episode 1... I quite like it, sure, I'm a bit mad it was short, but I like where/how it ended. I really enjoy the moments Michonne is hallucinating because it really gives you insight into her psyche. I don't really care if the "choices do not matter" in this series, because i know they are restricted by plot, and I'm okay with that. I prefer just experiencing the story for what it is... (8/10) And can you believe we're already at the penultimate episode? My, how time has flown!
P.S.: I will add that I do think Telltale should update their engine soon. I experienced the worst stutters in this game than any other. The game wouldn't put me in the right spot when I wanted to interact with something, some animations during fights were extremely choppy, and once the game froze for about 20 seconds. (It was in the boat when talking to Pete. the game froze mid-sentence. and don't worry, the memory isn't full on it. PS4)
Yeah, they need to update their engine quite a bit. That, or get a new one. In some ways, Walking Dead seasons 1 & 2 perform worse on current gen than they did on last gen.

Nah. If it will be 15th March, we get Mc sm ep5 on 29. If it would get released on 21st, then bye bye mc sm for March. TTG doesn't release episodes each week, they release one, then they wait one week, and after a another week they release an another episode.
That's not what they mean when they say update the engine, the game runs like crap. Particularly on older consoles, they need to update the game to improve it in that sense. For a game where you have such little freedom it shouldn't have any of these issues
If it would get released on 21st, then bye bye mc sm for March. TTG doesn't release episodes each week, they release one, then they wait one week, and after a another week they release an another episode.
They have release one episode a week after another in the past so it could be possible for them to do it again, Game of Thrones episode 6 was released November 17th and Minecraft Story Mode episode 3 was released November 24th so it's possible for either Story Mode episode 5 or Michonne episode 2 to release March 22nd and another to release on the 29th.
Another thing to note is that Job has already conformed on Twitter that Story Mode episode 5 should release in March and Telltale confirmed in their blog post that Michonne episode 2 should also release in March.

The aesthetics and art style of a game have nothing to do with the engine. The game's artistic direction is fine, but the game's engine runs like absolute crap.

This runs fine on PS4. Are you playing on PS3? Those were always slow with TT games. You should play TWD 1 on PS4. Smooth as butter whereas on PS3 it's chunky peanut butter.
Xbox One. For season 2, the frame rate is fine most of the time, it just sometimes has this issue of stuttering/freezing when moving to the next scene. I'm not pissed or anything, it just baffles me that the game seems to have such a hard time with that. Season 1 on the Xbone doesn't have that problem, but it does sometimes crash when loading a specific chapter or episode.
I've completed both seasons on Xbox 360 as well, and I never had either problems. The issues I had on the 360 was slight stuttering throughout both seasons.

telltale games never run well on consoles. might be due to the engine being primarily made with the pc in mind . this explains why most people who complain about the engine tends to be people playing on consoles.

They had a few periods where three episodes were released one week apart during a three week period back in 2015. I would not dismiss the possibility of that happening here with Michonne Episode 2 and Minecraft Episode 5.

In some ways, Walking Dead seasons 1 & 2 perform worse on current gen than they did on last gen.
As someone who has played Season 1 and 2 on a PS4, I can say that is not the case with that platform. Not only did they run at better frame rates, but the technical issues that plagued these games on PS3 were not present during my two playthroughs of the PS4 version. The same can be said with Michonne as well.

Comments
Thanks so much for the info!
It's weird how the next episode is the penultimate episode.
Right?
It is weird. But considering it is three episodes, I prefer to see it as one story split up in three acts divided in episodes.
Yeah, it will be interesting to see how the second episode of a series will most likely have the most intense cliffhanger.

They do not use their engine for modeling..
The first episodes in most telltale games tend to be just build up and the real meat starts in episode 2.

Forgive me, I could've swore I saw that somewhere, guess the site went down or something.

Do you think the episode 2 will be out for the tuesday 15th of march ?
"Real meat starts in episode 2"
I see what you did there.
Could be. Or the week after. Or the week after that.
My life is slighty better if I imagine the date 15th. ☺

meaning its time for IGN s review where they dint even play the episode and start sayng its bad right ???
Oh God, I forgot about IGN's grudge against penultimate episodes...
No. They use this graphic to look like a comic. Why don't you read?
Nah. If it will be 15th March, we get Mc sm ep5 on 29. If it would get released on 21st, then bye bye mc sm for March. TTG doesn't release episodes each week, they release one, then they wait one week, and after a another week they release an another episode.

Maybe
Oh, so you want a free camera. I do wanna no-clip everywhere too. TTG always did Heavy Rain style, with interactions. I'm not bothered by that at it.
EDIT:Messing with ya. But anyway, i don't know really too, this is why i don't use ps4 or xbox one.
