  • It is Mike but Eddie could for sure be there but just not added to the trailer

    Isn't that Mike?

  • edited July 2014

    I like this trailer a lot, but what is with Luke and his apparent obsession with breaking away from Kenny? I like Luke, but its like Telltale is trying to make me hate him. And it's starting to work. I mean, it might turn out Luke is right and Kenny will go all axe crazy but that will just make me feel like an idiot for being loyal to Kenny after what he did for Clem last ep. It doesn't actually make Luke look good to predict Kenny's brokenness while giving a "survival before loyalty" type monologue. If this trailer is any indication (and I know it might not be), and Luke and Kenny are Clem's choices for her new family, I don't like either one of them. On a somewhat related note, this trailer makes it abundantly clear how alone Clementine is, and I just wish Lee was still here. ;_;

  • I hope Mike makes it in this episode. :'(

  • That part where Jane is up against those walkers looks like it is in the house Jane and Clem were looking at. There is also a walker crawling away from her and towards another direction so maybe she is defending Sarah and Clem

  • Season 1 Episode 4.

    What episode is the still on the right from? It looks like the abandoned Savannah mansion? Just trying to remember the context.

  • Umm,

    Clementine herself, Rebecca, Carlos and Nick, to name a few.

    Who wouldn't be when you're slave labor for an asshole who killed one of your friends and repeatedly threatens Clementine?

  • Urban Mike and Kenny, I really hope someone replace Mike's model to Lee if possible

  • where lick and nuke at in episode

  • Yes, in 'Around Every Corner'. Clem wants to go with Lee and the group to Crawford.

  • Actually if you look closely their clothes are still got the faint stains from putting the walker guts on them...but they'll probably disappear in the final episode lol.

    I hate to be this nit picky... but how did everybody get all cleaned up? Then again, this is a trailer. Telltale has a slick way of not including the exact game skins used in a particular episode.

  • Reminded me of Chris, that douchebag from the comics. And yes, I know it's not him.

    Did anyone notice the person wearing glasses? It was only a quick glance though and it seems like the group will find each other one by one.

  • Indeed. He's got the power of the pimp hand.

    Don't worry Mike's an urban he can handle it.

    It's not an obsession, it's survival like Luke said. Before in Episode 3 everybody was pushing about leaving that night from Carver's community when he wanted to wait until they were rested up, and when put in a corner on it, it's only then it brought up the suggestion of leaving Kenny [who at the time still wasn't conscious and looked as though he might not make it.]

    Now we have Episode 4 where Kenny is losing it over Sarita's death and wanting to give up on living, and something like that could put a whole group in danger when you add walkers to that. So depending on what happens with Kenny's temper and if he loses the will to live, it'd make sense if Luke is getting worried about his own survival and the others.

    Also got to remember Luke's only known Kenny for a few days and they've not had much time to talk, so a decision to split from him might not be that difficult a thing to decide, maybe.

  • I'm really worried for the group and especially Kenny...I just hope he doesn't give up. I don't know if Clementine can handle loosing anyone else. She's a tough little girl, but I have a feeling a lot of people are going to die in this episode.

  • I hope we get real choices and consequences this episode, Nick might as well be dead, and I can't name a real choice that could come back to bite me. I hope we aren't forced into saving Sarah at the expense of another character, she's literally the last person I want on the group. And why is everyone saying this ep is going to be Luke vs. Kenny? Kenny sounds broken and borderline suicidal, the last thing he wants is to be a leader of ''a dogshit group of crippled fucks'' as Carver so eloquently put it. What I did notice from the trailer, is Mike walking alongside Kenny, in the possible direction of a group of walkers. Mike isn't that depressed from what we know, so I think him and Kenny are going to help/save someone.

  • I am not a proud sir, I am a proud LADY! Okay, deal, 68 it is. And as of now, this conversation NEVER happened

    Damn... I thought I had found and killed all of them... But... You're alive... You my good sir should be proud! You're the last of your kin

  • It's really down to your survival or others, I'm interested to see his reasoning!

    Rylee posted: »

    I don't agree with it but i suppose it doesn't make him bad, if that's what he's trying to say.

  • TelltaleLogic

    I hope you're right! About Kenny coming back AND a season three!

    prink34320 posted: »

    Maybe he will die... again.... then be confirmed for the next Season.... again....

  • There's blood on Kenny's lip in that final image, he doesn't look like he's in the best state :(

  • edited July 2014

    Interesting trailer, Hope the episode lives up to it.

  • I was thinking about that "guy"... I believe that "he" is actually "she" and "she" is Sarah with short hair like Clem or Jane

    There's a new character--they're wearing glasses and have a leg brace. Pretty androgynous looking from behind.

  • This made me lol

  • I don't know if its been said already, but I watched the trailer multiple times and not once did I see any snow. But in the screenshots, there is snow all around them. I wonder why...

  • Just my immaturity taking over me since we differ in opinions, that's all. Nothing against you was intended.

    I'm not sure I get what you mean.

  • Maybe he pulls a Rick and bites a chunk out of someones neck?

  • That's fuckin gross :p

  • Most people were expecting Ken to get an eyepatch, a little surprised he doesn't have one. A civil war site would be a reasonable place to find one.

  • Maybe they changed it for the sake of the trailer? I don't know... I mean, they did that with the end of the episode three trailer where Kenny in the original shot, has his little bandage on, I don't know if telltale would consider a slight change in clothing to be a spoiler though... who knows?

  • I doubt it. Why would she be wearing a leg brace?

    And I never said they were a he--that's why I pointed out they were androgynous. I'm not going to make assumptions here.

  • Shit like that. I saw "Lee confirmed' and people implying that Clem never really shot Lee.

    The responses are pretty funny.

    "Not all urbans look alike. y u b racist."

    Ha! What are they saying? "OMG, LEE is coming back!!!"

  • They probably haven't actually reached Wellington yet. Otherwise those screenshots are probably teasers, in which case they don't always tell the truth.

  • Well what I mean by that is he is cautious when dealing with Clem. In Episode 2, Luke trusted Clem to help him take down walkers, and trusted that she could hold her own. Personally, I doubt that Kenny would have asked Clem to help if he was there, and instead would have tried to take them both out. He doesn't want to put her in harm's way at all, while Luke doesn't seem to like it but still does regardless. I can't remember that much from Episode 3, but I think I remember Kenny trying to avoid asking Clem to go and activate the speakers, while Luke was forthright in asking Clem to steal radios for him. I agree that Kenny himself isn't cautious by nature, but when dealing with Clem his fatherly instincts make him do all he can to protect her and asks little from her. That's just my opinion

    'Kenny would be more cautious than Luke' wait what? Did we play the same game?

  • I can confirm the new character is named "Arvo".

  • Be ready what happens to Rebecca soon. So sad :(

    Out of all the worst possible environments to be giving birth, "surrounded by flesh-eating ghouls" has to be close to the top.

  • I actually wrote something about Luke after watching the trailer. He seems like the type who cares more about his own safety (and the group's) and acting the hero tbh.

  • Kenny had the blood on his lip after he was beaten by Carver.

  • i know that usually episode 4 of a telltale game is the weakest but i think that streak might be broken after this episode .
