Concerning Save Files and Season 2 carry-over (on upgrading consoles)
Hey all.
I am seriously considering upgrading to Xbox One at the end of this year, but am concerned about my save files transferring to the upcoming Season 3 of TWD. If I upgrade it means they are gone (unless TT implements some sort of cloud feature), and seeing as backwards compatibility has released I would obviously trade in my 360...but also seeing as TWD is one of my favourite games ever...I want that save progress there otherwise my story will feel half-baked, Clem being a character I have journeyed through both Seasons with, and the upcoming Michonne will impact this too.
Players already have this issue without being to transfer save files between 360 and the One (and same for the other platforms) for Season 1 and 2, and I really feel this is a major issue that needs to be addressed. There will be thousands of players upgrading to the 'current-gen' consoles this year, which can't really be helped, and making it unavailable for players choices to transfer to the upcoming Season will definitely be a lost opportunity. I'm sure there are thousands out there who would and do agree.
Having players be almost 'forced' to keep their old consoles just to play the newer Seasons (keep in mind they will be on outdated tech also) seems a bit of a fetch, in no way am I blaming TT for this, I just believe there should be something to fix it early before too many of your fanbase upgrades and realises the mistake they've made when S3 comes out. Maybe a cloud feature should be implemented? Or a way to connect the 360 cloud saves to the One cloud saves? I don't know and I'm certainly no expert, just thought this should be addressed as I haven't found a thread for it out there. EDIT I just did in an old support section of this site...however the threads are dead and closed. Staff stated that they haven't implemented a 'cross-save' feature and players will have to play through the Seasons again, concerning S1 and S2. CLOSE EDIT
This is possibly my biggest concern with your upcoming games, for now I will keep my 360 but even some news, details or just a simple 'it can't be done' or 'can be', will save a lot of players the hassle and keep everyone in the loop.
Keep it up TellTale anyway, your games are amazing.
...and to keep it forum relatable, anyone else agree or disagree? Maybe there is news I haven't found either and discussion on this would be appreciated. Who knows...maybe S3 won't even need save files to connect the story, but based on the previous Seasons I'm guessing (and hoping) they do.
Thanks.
