i just spoke to somoene who had early access to game in london and he said there was no rewind in the main menu. this changes everything. i will wait until tuesday for this to be 100% confirmed, but i doubt i will buy it if they removed one of the best and most important part of game.

There might have been no rewind option because they just started up the game for the first time. When you haven't played far enough there wont be a rewind option yet.
or they might done same thing they did with batman which would be unacceptable for me. every single choice based game i played has the rewind feature. they have no right to take it away from us. i was ready to boycott the game once they announced it was delayed. i forgave them because they are releasing two episodes at once. but removing rewind feature is something i will not forgive them. when you release a sequel, ur supposed to improve the game, not take away features that previous games had.
How is not having an rewind option so bad? I get that it can be annoying but it's not terrible.
It's terrible I will admit. If I want to try something different in episode 5 I don't want to have to replay the whole season just to get to episode 5
are u serious? you dont mind playing an episode from the start if u want to change/see other choices? im sorry dude but i go to school and i dont have time to do that. im just not accepting they would do this to us.
I might sound stupid but
the hell is rewind? You can't play the game twice?
no, in s1 & 2 every episode was divided in chapters which you could reload and start over from that point. looks like now they are making us to replay entire episode if you want to change one of your choices.
That's a bit dramatic. The rewind option doesn't make the game.
it does for me
Guys before people start losing their shit keep in mind they had it early access. A lot can be missing or changed between then and public release. They probably hadn't added it yet then.
We don't wanna start an uproar like we did about the length of the episodes.
Batman also didn't have a legitimate rewind option, and said option had been going downhill ever since Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands, after which every episode only had six chapters, which were sometimes divided terribly (to replay the climax of Michonne Episode 2, you have to sit through 15-20 minutes of unwanted content every time). I'm honestly almost a 100% sure that Telltale did the same thing again, especially now that reports of it are coming in. Also, they will not add something of these proportions last minute, the episodes are only days away.
I don't understand why they cut it at all. It's not like it's really that much work - their cluster thing probably took a hundred times longer - and it's really off-putting for the player. With the episode length I'm not really shocked and don't really mind that much tbh, but this is a serious problem for me. It was terrible that the rewind option was pretty much removed in Batman, it will be terrible in this game if they decide to cut it. And having to replay the entire episode or even Season for one choice or moment is not a viable option, that much should be obvious. While it doesn't make or break the game for me, I can't call this anything but laziness and/or carelessness.
Maybe they'll add the rewind option in a later version in the future after you upload the newest "patch" as they call it? God I hope so.
Ah I didn't know about that sorry.
It's especially weird to remove then given it's a feature I've never seen anyone complain about.
[removed]
Well that sucks.
Agreed. Rarely anyone ever said anything bad about it and pretty much took it for granted, there were only a few people whose save data was corrupted when rewinding. Then Telltale pulls the rug out from under us for seemingly no reason with Batman and will almost certainly do so for TWD too.
I mean, I guess they thought that it wasn't worth the effort or something, especially since some people seemed to mess up their save files when rewinding. But that was a minority, and it's not like anything of the sort was fixed with Batman's downgrade, if anything it got worse. So yeah. If someone at Telltale reads this, please bring the rewind option back for future games and for TWD A New Frontier as well, if possible. We do miss it. It's a serious downgrade for people who want to try out other things.
yes I already thought that there is no rewind function just like in batman. It annoyed me already in Batman.. and it would be stupid becuase every game before batman had this funktion. Can the new engine not handle this function??
And not even the entirety of Episode 5 for that matter. Please change it back to the way it was, Telltale.
like i said, im gonna wait until tuesday because this is not 100% confirmed (maybe the person just missed the screen or didnt see it) but if this turns out to be true, im begging everyone who is bothered by this boycott the game until telltale release a patch that is going to fix this. they cant just take away crucial feature like this and expect us to sit back and do nothing! rewind feature was something i used billion times through season 1 & 2 and i cant imagine twd without it. the fact it was missing from batman was one of the reasons i didnt buy that game.
and i remember when batman came out, everyone was dissapointed that they removed the rewind option. most users were scared & begging telltale not to do the same with twd season 3. telltale reads this forums so im guessing they were aware that people didnt want that feature removed. why would they do this?
they should start working on this patch NOW so they can release it right after launch
there is no reasonable explaination why they would do that. im pretty sure every engine can handle it.
Welp that's incredibly lame. Shame people didn't make it a bigger issue when Batman came out, we may not have this problem. I figured this would happen. Telltale are taking more and more away and we're still paying the same.
We're partially to blame for this one. Hardly anybody gave a damn and soon we'll have massive amount of players complaining that they can't rewind. Here's hoping they'll put it in later (Ha fat chance). Or maybe this info. is wrong, but judging how the menu is a cut and paste from Batman, I doubt it.
I dunno, you can't see the rewind option if you boot the game up for the first time.
Bummer. Oh well
I'll wait before I say anything.
Bunch of Babies God Forbid you have to play the Game over to see different choices.... I will buy regarless and like the other telltale games I will replay them if I wanna see the other outcomes not hard at all....
IF any of you played mass effect did you cry when you had to replay the whole game just to make different choices?? I Mean Come On PPL... You Wanna See the outcome of the other Choices Playthrough again..
nope
yes, some ppl have better things to do then play video games all day long
Then Don't buy it at all. PPL act like the game is 90 hours long....
i already said i wont buy it if this turns out to be true. did you register just to argue with me?
It takes you all day to complete one episode?
No Just tired of seeing PPL Complain... Ive had this account since 2015 so don't flatter yourself..
no, but if i wanna see other choices id have to complete it several times. which i dont have time to do.
I didn't have to replay the whole of Mass Effect to see different choices. I would save right before i had to make the choice and then reload if i wanted to try another option.
This is really disappointing. I used the rewind function all the time on The Walking Dead games.
No big deal.
I don't really consider it a bad thing. I think Until Dawn had something like this where once you made a decision or a character died as a result of your actions that was it, you couldn't go back and had to stick with it. It was only until the game was fully completed that i think you can go through the chapters and replay sections to get different outcomes.
With here it's just like it originally used to be in the early episodes of Season 1, where the rewind option wasn't added yet so you had to be careful of your choices, especially when the episodes back then were so long. Season 3 having no rewind option might actually be better in some ways because it'll add more tension and weight to the choices you make that at times you may really have to think. But another reason they might be doing this is to encourage people to replay the episodes more, and hence increase the game's playability.
Doesn't bother me I prefer to live with my choices
i cant believe what im reading. if the rewind feature was available, no one would hold a gun to ur head and force u to use it. but for us who do want to use it makes a huge difference. no rewind feature = no season 3 for me.
