Amid The Ruins Slide
Anyone who was on the forums when Episode 1 was released will probably remember a couple of threads (this one, this one, this one, this one, this one and this one to name a few), which were discussing the Episode 4 slide and why some users have a slightly different version.
There were three different versions. One had Clem looking down, with vertical marks on her face and a Kenny-looking silhouette to the left. This version appeared on PC and iOS.
There was a second that also had Clem looking down, but the marks on her face were horizontal and instead of Kenny, the silhouette looked more like Vince. This version appeared on PS3 EU and Xbox 360.
The third had Clem looking to the left of the screen, horizontal marks and the Vince silhouette. This only appeared on PS3 in the US.
There was a lot of discussion about what caused this, but it was concluded that the different versions were tied to platform and region and had nothing to do with our choices in Season 1. This has changed.
I've seen a few people post that their slides are different to what they were and I'm hoping we can shed some light on the subject. It's possible that in an update Telltale simply removed on or two of the slides or changed them to match up with other platforms. In my opinion this is most likely.
I've also been thinking, however, that the slides might have been meant to change based on choices but it didn't work when Episode 1 was released and might have been fixed for Episode 2. I have no evidence for this but it's something that's been on my mind since I first started hearing people talk about changes since Episode 2 was released. I'd rather not go too deep into discussing this theory, however, until we've disproven the platform and region theory first.
Also if anyone has some better quality images of the console slides I'd love to have them for the OP. I realise the quality of the current images is far from ideal but I was unable to find any better ones.
edit: I should also add that I'm on PC and haven't seen any changes. The top screenshot was taken by me less than 15 minutes ago and matches exactly with a screenshot I took two months ago.

not sure what it means its weird though but we know one thing it looks like Vince, Kenny, and Eddie will be in EP.4. I haven't checked but does the supposed Vince silhouette show up randomly or only if they stay at camp. he left the camp in mine and isn't in the amid ruins slide
Never seen the PS3 one before. Creepy.
Agreed. Looking forward to the return of Eddie
And in regards to your question, that's what I'm trying to find out with this thread. Hopefully yes.
Yeah, I'm not sure if it's just me but Clem looks younger in the PS3 version. She also looks a bit more disturbed or upset in that slide.
I think it's been done so everyone else has the same slide. I have a PS3 EU so I had the Vince silhouette. After the release of episode 2, it changed to the Kenny-like Silhouette. This is on both my original save where Vince (and everyone else) went with Tavia AND my alt save where everyone stayed behind.. I was really happy seeing I had the Vince silhouette so I hope we'll still see him regardless...
She looks like Season 1 Clem in the third pic...
PC over here. Still same pic as always (The first one). It's also my desktop background.
Glad to hear it. I'm also really glad this is going far more smoothly than it did last time. So far it looks like the other platforms are getting it changed to this one so PC and iOS users shouldn't see anything different.
Music from EP4 is fu*** scary.
Music from episode 5 is even more creepy.
I don't know what will happen in ep 4 and 5 but i'm sure about one thing - some serious s*** will happen
Yeah... I have the feeling Ep4 will have the most deaths.
Its 11 at night.. why am i scaring myself listening to this?
Yeah, either Ep. 4 will be the 'Wham' episode or Ep.3 will be and 4 will be the episode that deals with the fallout. Either way, poor Clem doesn't look terribly happy.
