Hoping for a fresh start in the 3rd game. *spoiler*
With the second game wrapped up I'm really hoping for a fresh start, new characters, new protagonist. That maybe during chapter 5 you meet up with an older Clementine, and AJ (about 5 - 8 years old). This will lead into the fourth game with Clem being the person you play, or at least a major character you interact with (my preference)
What say you?

I want Christa. Or at least a DLC about Christa.
We had adult Lee in season 1 and 10-year old Clementine in season 2, so we should logically play as 2-year old Alvin Junior in season 3. I'm sure they'll manage to make other adults even dumber to justify him doing everything.
I want to keep playing as Clementine.
I want to keep Clem as the protagonist. Over the last two episode I fell in love with her and watched her grow up into a little badass that would make Lee proud. Though I'd like to play Kenny as well.
removing clem from the story in season 3 would be like telltale literally shooting themselves in the foot. if they go with a new protagonist we need to at least be in a group with clem and be able to talk to her about our season 2 choices. she needs to be a part of the game or myself and alot of others will be very dissapointed.
Clementine is the only protagonist I can see as being playable in season 3, it wouldn't make sense for them to just drop her story here, each ending sets up perfectly for another chapter into her story.
i agree completely. it seemed like every ending was a cliffhanger which makes me really hope for playable clem in season 3 but realistically with the baby and the 5 different endings for season 2, the easy way out for telltale would be to introduce a new protagonist.
The formula has gotten old the only reason why any of us would play s3 it will be because we care about clem.
cough Clem's 11 cough
Truthfully I would play even if they axed Clem entirely just cuz I am a walking dead fanatic but I would be very salty about it....
AJ can not be 5-8 years old as the comics are only two years ahead.
I also wouldn't care whose play as, even if Clem was erased from the game entirely in season 3, so long as the story is good.
Except for this last ending. Unless they take everyone's decision and simply throw it in the garbage to start the next game then her story has finished, at least for the time being which is why I think introducing her 5 - 8 years later would be a good idea.
The comics started with a white cop in a coma. This game started with a black man who was convicted of murder. This game uses the Walking Dead universe but isn't the Walking Dead. They try to stick to similar feel but in reality it's just a zombie game. You could call it Dawn of the Dead based on those movies if they wanted. I don't see any big deal about how many years have gone by considering the stories don't hinge on each other.
The deal would be that Kirkman can end the comic anyway he wants. Say he ended and said that everyone in the world was dead, then that would contradict Telltale's game if the game was set further ahead.
I enjoyed 400 days. I was bummed with it being so short. You're telling me you wouldn't play the game even if they brought back old faces, introduced some really cool people, and had a great story line?
Do you have inside information on the contractual agreements between Telltale, and Kirkman? They used some people in the comics in the first game, but am unaware of anyone used in the second.
Look at books that become movies. Jurassic park killed some people who in the book lived, and let live some of the people who were killed in the book.
The game series may be around long after the books, and tv show ends.
True, but Telltale is known for keeping their games cannon inside their respective universes. And book to movie adaptations always have different things happen to keep the audience interested so it isn't just a retread from the books. However with Telltale's adoptions, it always focuses on a different story going on in the same universe, take BTTF and TWAU for example, they use the same characters from the source material but tell a different story that remains cannon.
The comics and the game exist in the same universe...
Im pretty sure everyone knows my view on this topic... I might explain it again later but im too tired right now.
Teeltale cannot and will never make a time skip of 8 years just to see AJ older.
Hmmm Yeah and here is a quote from Kirkman: "In regard to the timeline, Robert Kirkman wrote in 2007, "The Walking Dead takes place in our world, as if this stuff had started happening in October 2003 and continued from there. Now, (Issue 38) in the book it's still only like...June 2004 at this point (If you're keeping track)."[6] "[The Walking Dead] is set in modern times ... but the book started in 2003 and only a year has passed in the book. But that doesn't mean it's 2004 in the book ... maybe it's 2009 ... who knows ... who really cares. I don't want to be specific it also smells funny in there"
He doesn't give a crap about the time line, why should we? (or Telltale)
Because reasons.
Jk
Really because if we surpass the timeline and then kirkman decides zombies talk or some shit and this has "already happned" according to the comics then it wouldn't make sence. Telltale cant take that risk
What are you talking about? The stories are no longer entangled. They aren't sharing characters. If zombies start talking, they simply add it to the game. What's the date in the game? I don't know. Notice they never mention the year? Unless they share characters it doesn't matter if they keep the same time line.
nO
They can't just "add it in" because if the game surpases the comic time and the comic adds it in it should have already happened so therefore the time that it "happened" so to speak in the comics is a little before the current time in the game so it would break the universe!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SHIT WORKS!
Apparently you don't. The game, and graphic novel aren't connected anymore. The time line doesn't matter.
Did you just ignore my whole post?
They are still in the same universe, so they are connected, comic characters don't have to continuously make appearances to drive home that fact. The timeline matters because if how a zombie works changes, the other zombies should change as well, and if they don't talk in Telltale's game, it would break cannon.
Thank you.
AJ will be taken care of somehow. I mean how much fun is it going to be playing Clem literally BABYSITTING AJ? The story will either go no where or get tiring fast (ie. another zombie attack because AJ couldn't stop crying)
They aren't going to change. He is even quoted as saying he's not going to get into how the zombies even started. It's not an event driven story, but a person driven story. The "universe" is nothing more than an apocalyptic zombie world. The rest is driven by the characters. There isn't going to be some major change to the "world"... If the comic book story ends, but the game is making huge money do you think TellTale is going to be like "Gotta stick to the comic, games over"... Yeah sure.
If it were. Then telltale would be fucked. Kirkman can do anything he likes , it's his universe. Telltale can't take that chance.
LOL .... im loving this!
I want Clementine
Really? Last I checked most people play the game because of Clementine. I started reading the graphic novels when they first came out. I don't anymore. I don't care what direction the show goes in relation to the game. The game has it's own story, and it's own following. It is not longer reliant on The Walking Dead books.
Yes , most people do. Including me. But it is STILL in the same universe! How can you not understand that? Yeah kirman might not give a shit but if he decides to change something about the universe then it would have to change in the game at the exact same time it happened. But if the game were ahead of the comics then they couldn't change it because it has been a while since it happened so it wouldn't make sense , they have to have have it before the comics UNLESS Kirkman allows a timeskip.
In case you didn't get that
THEY EXIST IN THE SAME UNIVERSE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!
Maybe a 100 year old Clem? Seems pretty legit.
I'm sure there are a few more reasons...
Not me :P
It's the same universe? You mean the same one Kirman took from George A. Romero's Dead series? They exist in the same universe? Has there been ANY story crossover besides Hershal's farm, and Glen? The only reason they even used the name "The Walking Dead" is because the series gained popularity, and I would wager money that if Kirkman decided to end the series with an asteroid tomorrow, TellTale would not copy it. They would simply move on with their story, and unless you have personal inside knowledge of the contractual agreement between TellTale, and Kirkman you don't know what they are, and aren't allowed to do.
They would have to if the time was the same!
There has been no crossover because , THE FUCKING GAME IS A FEW YEARS BEHIND THE COMICS TIMELINE!
In case you didn't get that
THE GAMES UNIVERSE AND THE COMICS UNIVERSE ARE CANON!
