What decade does this game take place in?
Just curious. Some things look older, like the vehicles.

The 2000's I think.
Around 2004 or 2006, I think. (It's just a guess, I don't have any proof of that.)
2003-2005ish
A New Day starts on 2003
47 BC
Judging by the vehicles and that the game is canon to the comics, I'd say 2003 (S1) and 2005 (S2).
The Roman General Leeuctus Heroicus finds the young child Clementilana and makes his way to Londinium where her father and mother were stationed before the Picts attacked.
The low Gas Prices at the intro of 400 Days are another indication.
She would be placed in the charge of senator Leeius Maximus Arelius. Where she will cook, clean and take care of the house duties. Leeius Maximus Arelius must face the senate, and decide if declaring war on the Gauls is fortuitous. He dissected the bird, and its liver was clear. It is a good omen!
Yep, that, too.
2822 everyone just into retro look thing
The outbreak begins in June 2004. Depending on when Clem's birthday is (and I want to say mid-autumn for a guess of 2006, though I'm not sure why and may very well be wrong) It's now early winter 2006/2007 in-game. We usually get our first good snowfall in late November here in the northern midwest, so my guess is that it's the first week of December 2006 (give or take depending on your ending and the legendary unpredictability of our weather.)
Yay... Adventure time...
There Leeuctus has a run in with a stranger.. The Iceni leader Boudicca. He slays and rescues Clementilana from her demented clutches and on his arduous journey out of Londinium back to Rome he stops momentarily for respite at a delapated Villa. After some porridge with honey to coerce his remaining strength he is sympathised by his loyal and faithful slave Clementilana and decatipitated with mercy and much sadness in the heart of the slave. Long live LEEUCTUS!! Mars and Jupiter shall forever hold you in Glory and honor.
According to Robert Kirkman the series has no set date and dismisses using the comics release date to assume what year it is.
This could very well be true. I base my claim of a start date on nothing more than I called my best friend about it, and that's what she said. She's a pretty intelligent and conscientous girl, not prone to flights of fancy or making things up. She's right about most things most of the time, so I just took it at face value. She hasn't played the game but she's alot more into the comics than I am. That doesn't mean she couldn't have picked up the wrong idea or bad information somewhere along the way. I'll give her a ring tomorrow and find out why she thinks June 2004. I'll keep you guys posted.
S1=2003 S2=2005/2006
any proof, or something like that?
The game is set on the comics world, in the comics the ZA starts on 2003, also that's the year they were publisehd, if i remeber right the TV show's story starts on 2003 too.
Are you serious? The TV show didn't started on 2003. It's started 2010. Also we don't know which year ZA in the comics (or even TV show) started because Kirkman said that he doesn't want to give us any specific date. Also creators of TV show didn't said anything about the year in their series. I believe that Kirkman just wanted to tell the story no matter the year because it could happened at any time. 2003, 2005, 1998, 2010. It's timeless story, that's all.
He's not talking about the actual show date, he's talking about what year the universe starts in. But, since the comic universe/TV show universe are completely different universes, then I guess it does start in 2010. Considering, Glenn says he used to play Portal, which came out in 2007.
It's not a timeless story, Robert Kirkman was interviewed on the whole timeline thing, and stated; "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)." Now, this was a while ago. It's about 5 years into the comics? I'm not sure, someone who reads it said it was. So that's make it around 2008.
Meaning, the video game universe started in 2003, and is around 2005.
Uh, what? Is it specifically stated anywhere that it starts in 2004? What I found was...
"The Walking Dead takes place in our world, as if this stuff had started happening in October 2003 and continued from there." - Robert Kirkman in an interview.
all we do know is that they told us the first season of tell tales Walking Dead Game itself took place while Rick was in his coma that's all they really told us about it so I really cant say much about where the story was and to add in seasons 2 storyline is hard to say now on how long after
I would play the hell out of a Roman History version of this game. Clementine is a Latin name even
Lee could be Leonidas (like the Spartan general!)
I don't know about the year, but going by the tapes in Crawford, the outbreak began on about June 14. I know Clementine's mom says something about Spring Break, but I think that's a mistake unless the outbreak reached Crawford MUCH earlier. I would agree that it's pre-2006, simply because cell phones weren't really standard in the US before the iPhone and Jane mentions something about "credit cards and old busted pagers" in Season 2.
Here's something I never got, though. So let's say it is June of 2004. That would mean S1 ends in about...mid-October. Going by Christa's pregnancy, S2 probably starts about six months later, in March 2005. Add sixteen months and you get July 2006. So why is it freezing cold and raining in North Carolina, and basically Christmastime?
It's kind of timeless story, whether you like it or not. 2003 or 2005, 2010 - it doesn't matter because what happened in the comics or TV show could happened at any time.It's kind of story that doesn't need specific dates because such outbreak (if the dead really can come back and try to eat us) could happen even tomorrow or in a few days, weeks, months.
But yeah - we could try to figure out which year it is in comics, game or tv show because it's kind of fun.
If ZA in game started 2003 then we have almost the end of 2005 by now because during ending of season 2 we had snow.
Well, the Walking Dead is a timeless story as much as the Iliad is a timeless story.
Obviously not the best comparison as the Iliad is regarded as the height of epic literature, but I hope you get my point.
Yeah, I know what you mean and honestly I was talking exactly about that.
Story that happened in Iliad could happen in our times but in different circumstances and the same thing with The Walking Dead. Okay, it may started in 2003 or 2008, whatever. But it doesn't change the fact that such story could happen at any time. 1990's, 2001, 2010, 2014 etc.
I always thought Season 1 took place in 2012, just like the year when the game came out. And since Season 2 came out two years later with Clem being two years older, it meant that Season 2 takes place in 2014.
ok this thread is two days old but i'm commenting anyway. Now a lot of people say the game starts in 2003 because that's when the comic starts and the game is on the same timeline but i think it starts in 2012. here's why. Now we all remember Jolene the woman who took clem's hat, thought clem was her daughter and was shot by one of the st.johns. At the end of the episode we get this camera which we find out has a video of jolene stalking the motel. The camera she was using was a flip cam:
The flip cam came out in 2006 and was discontinued in 2011. so is it a stretch to say that she bought the camera a year before and still has it now? i don't think so.
Another small detail is the neighbor's house in Savannah. When you get stuck in the attic after shooting some walkers you have to break down into the neighbor's house threw the wall. When you get in there you see a couple dead in their room. In said room is a t.v. but not a t.v. with a big back like the one in clem's house or the ones in the t.v. shop in Macon but a flat screen mounted on the wall. Now i don't remember people with flat screens in 2003 let alone anyone with them mounted on their walls. People like to bring up the gas prices which is a good point but i think telltale and robert kirkman combine different technology and whatever else so it can be at any in the 21 century.
edit: picture of the t.v.
god thats a long reply i need a life.
Uhm...that's a PAINTING mounted on their wall.
nah its a t.v.
Definitely a tv
bump but its not my thread
yep no question
