Grrr I was hoping I would be playing Ep 3 before I got off leave. The next few weeks is going to be hectic since I have to store everything and close off all my accounts including internet so I most definitely won't be seeing Eps 4 and 5 until I come back which will be about a year. This feels too much like a tease to me.
There was one on Youtube, who wrote the release date for Episode 3 was the 30. of March.
"One on Youtube" is about the most unreliable source in the whole wide world. Again, nothing is official. It could well be the 30., but with exactly the same possibility the 28th, 29th or 31.
No, I'm pretty sure the Telltale offices open at 9 am PDT (4 pm GMT), so that's the absolute possible earliest. And even then, if the episode was ready to put out the instant they open on Monday, I would think they would've already put it out before closing on Friday.
Like I said, I think a more realistic prediction is mid-week, something in the Tuesday-Thursday range.
Steam just updated the game's store page to "Available now" for episode 3.
i saw that too, i thought it was strange as it appeared today, which is sunday, no games appear on steam on a sunday, so maybe its ready for tomorrow, like it will appear tomorrow some time

That's a completely legitimate prediction. I wouldn't rule out Monday altogether though. I mean, would you rather upload a game at the end of a long work day or the beginning? I remember the Telltale team saying that they all like to be around when the game goes live, so I wouldn't be surprised if they finished Friday and decided to wait.

Not necessarily. I'd wait until Monday if I were finished by Friday, in case there were any immediate bugs that my team did not catch.

But then again, that's just me being optimistic
I would think mid-day would be ideal. However, sometimes ideal isn't the way it goes. Tales of Monkey Island episode 5 wasn't released until around 7 pm PST. They had announced a release date of December 8th, and they stayed late to make sure it could come out on that day. I think that's why they don't often announce release dates anymore. If they announce a date, they will make sure it happens on that day.
Which means that if it's not ready by the end of the workday on Thursday, you know they'll stay in the office until it's ready to put up. But I don't think it'll come to that.
So when i go to my games i see that i can download Part 1 and 2 for the game but for part 3 it says "Pick Language" And thats it
Am i the only one having this prob or it not out yet?
Help me!
Either from the time I'm posting this, March 30th 11:59PM PST, or anytime inbetween the two.
march has 31 days so it could be the 31st.
I had a theory that monday releases are unlikely because if they were that close they'd rush to get it done friday. But historically telltale doent seem to have an abundance of friday releases, tuesdays and thursdays seem the most common.
My guess is Wednesday, because that's how it worked with episode 2. Episode 1 for PSN was released the 15th, then episode 2 for PC was released the next day.
Then tommorow we should get a preview, unless its like get tannen, a suprise release
We had a new Get Tannen trailer 24 hours before it was released. They just didn't tell us that it was going to be released. So I don't think were gonna see episode 3 until at least 24 hours after we get a new trailer.
So far I can't say I'm impressed about them not having set release dates for these chapters.
Telltale Games Does not usually have set release dates for their episodes. Instead they say what month it will be released and usually announce sometime during the month the date that the game will be released. For the back to the future game they seem to be taking a different approach and are releasing them sometime in the month without saying when.
Would you rather they set a release date, set an internal deadline a month earlier, and then just hold on to the completed game for a month? Or would you rather get to play the game a month sooner, as soon as it's finished?

I'd rather they held onto the completed game until the release date. It's insane for them to put out the game as soon as they think it's done. Not only does that increase the chances of bugs but it's too much stress and pressure for them not to have the chapters completed ahead of schedule. Trust me, it's bad enough not to have a buffer when you're doing a webcomic, let alone an entire video game series!
I think there's been no set release date for the BttF game chapters though because they're probably still tweaking on them.

Whether they want to wait for the first day of the month or the last, fine...it says March....but when it's been "AVAILABLE NOW!!!" for two days...I'm sure some people don't appreciate the tease.
That and just a little communication wouldn't kill them either.

I haven't seen any "available now" anywhere on the site except for Episode 1. But I'm sure it's coming out soon. Expect Episode 4 to be the end of April as well, and 5 the end of May. This seems to be the pattern so far.
But, yeah, I have to admit you're right that it would be nice for them to give a release date. But since I figure the end of the month is their selected time I feel I know their release dates now.

No no no, the trailer being released 24 hours earlier was just a mistake by one of the Telltale folks.
The video was supposed to be private and it was supposed to be released an hour or so before the episode actually came out.

It says available now on Steam. Probably steams fault, but just a bit annoying!

A weaker version would of course be to release episode 3 in March, then fake an episode 4 release on April 1st.
Maybe they were waiting until monday, but I looked the link for episode 2 (http://www.telltalegames.com/download/gettannen), then changed the title of the episode and....
Voilá!

Oh, we had that last time. Don't even bother installing whatever you are downloading. You won't get your fix today.

Your rick roll bloke. So I fixed it.
Don't you mean least?

I know, I was just rickrolling

If im wrong no one gets any money because im not allowed to talk to strangers.

Oh. That is odd. But that would be Steam's fault as they're a separate company.
the trailer did show up a few hours before the site went down.
Note: Citizen Brown is NOT OUT. At least, not yet. I just wanted to do something to help pass the time until 9am PST (at the earliest)
I hope my little Photoshop project will help everyone through the agonizing waiting I'm sure this week will bring. After all, one can dream
