There was something...... off about the acting in the family scene. I can't even pinpoint what it was that bothered me exactly but the whole thing just seemed awkward. And Javier (who I really want to like because my interest in Clementine is just absolutely dead) doesn't seem to have much in the way of charisma.
All in all the trailer was ok. Got me invested a little, though I'll admit I was never really all that excited for this season. I'm betting it all on Javi and his story though, so hopefully TT knocks that shit out of the park.
Yeah well I believe Telltale for the walking dead at least has been forcing plot points ever since season 2 with Kenny's return and the big showdown with that woman Jane. If that conflict wasn't forced I don't know what was. I had hoped maybe they'd learn from their second season mistakes but they probably unfortunately thought nothing was the matter and now repeat what they did with season 2 such as forced plot points, and 90 min. episodes.
I don't know how to explain it, but I think my main issue is the whole family thing and how Telltale is trying to "force" that on us and mak… moree us care? Every time we've seen Javier so far, he is always talking about his family or doing things to find/protect his family. And I'm just sitting here thinking, why the hell should I even give a crap about that? Specially when Clem and AJ are still out there. I have to get invested in this new main character AND his family? Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time getting attached to characters if I don't get to interact with them for very long and go through a bunch of different situations with them. Unless they seem like interesting characters straight from the beginning, which honestly wasn't the case with any of Javier's family members. That preview literally did nothing for me (except Clem at the end). But well, I just hope finding and protecting Javier's family won't be all what season 3 is a… [view original content]
However, I am not sure if Javier has already been branded at that point, given that, if I remember correctly, his branded side of the neck is not shown on the clip.
Javier is branded on the right side of his neck in the first trailer--
But we don't see the right side of his neck in those scenes with Clem in the extended preview.
For all we know, he could have the brand by this point. Just because we don't see the right side of his neck doesn't mean it's not there.
Hm makes me think though, maybe the reason Clem had Javi tied up was because Clem saw the tattoo on Javi's neck, and perhaps she thought Jav… morei was related to the Capricorn Farm branders, and so took Javi prisoner because she thought he could lead him to Jane/Kenny if they were kidnapped by the Capricorn Farm brandits?
That sounds quite possible and fitting, indeed, Sialark! If this were the case, the difficulty would lie in convincing Clementine that Javier is not part of Capricorn Farm. This would resemble a remixed Tales from the Borderlands, except Clementine is Fiona and Loader Bot.

Well I often wonder what could of been done to make Clementine's character non bland and non flat and still remain within character? If Clementine wasn't supposedly "boring" then folks might say she does not act like a convincing 12 year old girl and is over the top out of character. That was kind of the inevitable difficulty of having a well balanced child protagonist as most people are simply use to playing as adults in games all the time.. especially fit male adults for apocalypse set games and being a child has more limits than freedoms as adults. Therefore maybe Clementine was bland and flat only because she was a child and female and not adult and male like Lee.
I liked the trailer, but the new graphics are going to take a bit to get used to. They look a bit more realistic and the glare in the eyes was kinda strange, but I'm trying to stay positive about it. As for Javier I really love him already.
There's not much of a choice, everything we've seen so far has relegated the character we've spent the last two seasons with to an afterthought while pushing this new guy and his family on us. Because that's a great idea for a series to run with, apparently.
I will take one of the few options left though, and avoid preordering this until the reviews are in and I have a better idea of just how hard they're gonna try to force this new guy and his family into the series. Very likely a pass for me if they're actually going to shift the focus of the story this suddenly.
Graphics will take some getting used to before I fully judge them
Choices not mattering seems very likely at least from previous seasons
Clementine looks about 18 not 13
I hope the whole game doesnt revolve around them speaking spanish, fear the walking dead does this enough
Javiers past seems generic so far (apart from the abusive parent thing maybe)
Voice acting still seems good
Two episodes at once? Im wondering if we play as either character
Picking choices from previousn seasons also makes me a bit dubious, on one hand great it will stop glitches but Im guessing the most we will pick is a few major choices and the season 2 ending?

I liked the trailer overall! Can relate with other that I watched it more than once myself. while re-watching it I directed more attention t… moreo Clementine. She looks pretty bad-ass (almost make me miss little Clemmy!) but the overall trailer, as well as the small teaser that we were given before gives me the notion that Clem may be involved in a...not so good group...
here are my reasons:
1. The large gun she is holding in the trailer: Where did she get that??!
2. Javier is cuffed when seen with her; why would she cuff a supposed stranger in this apocalyptic world, rather than avoiding him?
3. The "branding" mark that we saw earlier this year in the teaser: Javi's bonds are off, as he is holding a gun as well standing along side her. could he have been forced into Clem's group??
4. Clem's finger: Initiation??
IDK if this is a good theory, it just came to mind and i thought i could share
I think it happens later. I think now is when they just meet and Clem is taking Javi to the Farm. Then something happens (Javier gets burned) and that's when Clem and him work together.
But that would imply that Clem looses her finger due to a reason other than the Farms.

This isn't an attack on you just a response and my opinion.

I'm kind of confused as to why you think that considering this teaser just showed more about Javier and Clementine meeting him towards the end. We haven't seen nearly enough to judge how choices come into play.
Clementine looks about 18 not 13
I'm 18. I am surrounded by 18 year old people. She is nowhere near looking like a 16 year old, let alone 18.
I hope the whole game doesnt revolve around them speaking spanish, fear the walking dead does this enough
Not sure how that seems to come into play here or why that even matters, seems a bit of a pointless tidbit especially when it makes sense for them to speak Spanish since they are a Hispanic family and they rarely did so in the first place, they mainly all spoke English. Why does it matter anyway?
Javiers past seems generic so far (apart from the abusive parent thing maybe)
I mean, once again we've rarely seen anything of his past - we just saw the first time they dealt with a walker, and even then not enough of Javier as a character to really judge too much.
Picking choices from previousn seasons also makes me a bit dubious, on one hand great it will stop glitches but Im guessing the most we will pick is a few major choices and the season 2 ending?
Dubious? I guess that's up to you, I do wonder though what we will pick but I always imagine it's an array of major choices from both seasons.
My thoughts
* Graphics will take some getting used to before I fully judge them
* Choices not mattering seems very likely at least fro… morem previous seasons
* Clementine looks about 18 not 13
* I hope the whole game doesnt revolve around them speaking spanish, fear the walking dead does this enough

* Voice acting still seems good

if Kenny even dares breathe in this new game, I will punch a butterfly
Hehe. If Kenny comes into my game when he's supposed to be dead, I'll punch butterflies like
And
So the game's like

Well the trailer is edited, thats not how its all going down, it was just changed around to not spoil things and to get to the point faster.

I know! That's why I said I wasn't sure!
I think it's Javier's gun but who knows?

I don't mind playing as Javier, but I swear to god if Kenny even dares breathe in this new game, I will punch a butterfly
