I love the new things TTG has implemented in their games and now story effective choices, that's absolutely brilliant!
Long-term fans of Telltale have argued for a LONGER period between episodes actually. They often felt that some episodes of former games felt "rushed" and they really wanted to give Telltale the time to finish and perfect their releases.
And take that with a pinch of salt
Since the next episode will not be finished in two weeks I'd rather wait then playing an unfinished game
Seriously: one month wait is absolutely normal when ordering a TTG season. I like it that way and hagve no problems with waiting a little (every end of the month is like christmas that way
Well it was because of their build failing, we have the build right now.
That's not to say the website won't crash for 3 days:p
People complain about episodes being too rushed out as it is. I don't even want to think of what an episode made in two weeks would look like.
Telltale don't do things traditionally. There games usually aren't completed until the day OF release(see Puzzle Agent).
And the release date thing has happened loads of times with many websites, unless telltale themselves say it, don't believe it.
I'm saying they HAVE done that. Again, Puzzle agent. It wasn't done until release.
ttg will have made most of the game but each month they will playtest and check for bugs and polish the episode before release i could be wrong but thats how i see it
Well, the answer is - soon! Episode one is currently in submission with Microsoft and Sony.
If you're unfamiliar with the process, here's how it goes...
We have to submit games to MS and Sony for testing. After the game goes through our own stringent QA process, they need to make sure that the game meets with their various standards. Once the game is approved, we'll have our release date.
We continue to target "late April", but as soon as we hear from MS and Sony, we'll update you and confirm when you'll be able to enter the world of The Walking Dead!
This was written play telltale on their facebook account at the start of April
So arbitrarily doing half as much testing will make everyone happy?
Is this college called the duck school of quality assurance?
I'm the foreman! Put your back into it! Ship it!
Oh sorry about your legs and neck man, darn bugs...
We appreciate your enthusiasm, but that's dumber than a sack of hammers
Exactly, I would think everyone understands and wants complete-bug free episodes. I can't see why anyone would actually WANT to wait a month for each episode, lol. Especially if they are already completed.
they only make episodic games...
Alot of the hard work is done.. conceptually fleshed out.. the story is probably completely set (they have changed things based on what people like here I.E. Winslow further involvement in MI) But the episodes themselves are not finished, episode 2 may be or pretty close to it.. but not the entire series.
Don't trusts wikipedia. TT never gives out release dates.
I THINK Back To the Future was a bigger release.
And the episodes are normally monthly.
Trust me, they are still working on episode 2. Telltale only give an exact date, when they are sure they can make it. Even then, they don't give an exact time. This is because they work on it to the last minute, tweaking and bug fixing it. They upload it when it's ready
i buy this game to fast, seriously, 20$ to play 40min, and the next episode, maybe for ...let's says, .... humm....we whant to give you the best so.... maybe in ...... summer..... for a big , 30min of paying....
I really hope you guy working to give a lot more....
Advise for future buyer.... wait when all episode are out....and you probably will pay the game 5$ at this moment...
A good comment in all that, i liked pretty much the way of playing a story follow...choice do not really matter but it's like whatching a movie and with your decision you choose the actor that will finish the movie....
They could easily have the game complete and use this time to tweak the upcoming episodes: what worked in Ep1; where there any glitches; does this story arc plan out; etc. I seriously doubt they are coding the game right now for a release in a few weeks. Refining? Sure.
As far as the contest, they probably have blank or generic characters in the game that they can easily fill in with the winner. Your not going to speak any lines, and they will use a voice actor to record your death scream and zombie moan. You'll send in a picture and be transplanted into the game.
Telltale episodes are monthly. BTW, what's with people saying the games are 30 min long, knowing all the puzzles/choices to make, and skipping all the little dialog, it still took me an hour and a half to beat. What fast forward mode are you guys using.
or even it's the mobile device app version..
Must have been SOME place.
5 episodes. Not 4, not 6. Exac-tly FIVE.
Roughly monthly released.
invasion,
there are guns,
don't want to be like that,
Why is this game episodic? What does that mean?
Telltale has a strong history of releasing episodic games but more importantly, we wanted this game to offer an experience analogous to the comic books and TV show, which are also episodic in nature. We have plans for 5 episodes, releasing once per month.
Well, then you'd only be getting the full episode 1 and a yet-to-be-completed episode 2..nothing else. That's like saying you'd want the entire season of a TV show right after it aired..you'd only get a certain, small number of episodes, the last one most likely not even completed.
Well, as someone said, the concept art and storyboarding is all done, but it isn't set in stone. They have the base structure for it, but the "tweaking" you speak of would come from player experience and their choices. And then incorporate those choices into a myriad different scenarios..for example: choose nighttime > meet Andre and find Chet as a zombie > possibly meet Andre in episode 2 or something. Vice versa for Chet and daytime.
I know the walking dead is bringing in many customers who are new to episodic gaming. Please be patient. I love hanging out on telltales forums between episodes. Less than 20 days to go until episode 2 .... Probably.
You're too modest. I mean, your register date almost can't be beat. You've been here a LONG time to find out how things are working.
