Hyped or Worried?
Do you have high anticipation or high anxiety for the next season?? And what would be enough to reassure you that they got this one in the bag if so? A decent trailer?

Reasonably high apathy.
But yes, a decent trailer could potentially help. Or even better, some screenshots.
I'm not worried since i think (hope) Telltale learned from ANF which is why we are returning to Clementine as the central character and playable character as opposed to the recent installment which was a train wreck on several levels.

110% hyped for The Final Season. I am confident that Telltale will produce an excellent Final Season
Speaking of the slaughterhouse... I still want to see it in S4.
Both. I have high hopes for this game, but it could all go wrong so easily. With what @DabigRG said, screenshots or trailers could help boost my confidence, but only by a small degree. Their leaked info tends to be misleading.
Eh, cautious. Maybe they learned something from ANF, maybe we're in for more of the same. Honestly, a lot of the promotional materials they released before the game dropped seemed to disproportionately feature some characters compared to their actual involvement, which wasn't helped by the fact we found out more about the game from Amazons description than from TT themselves. There's really not much they can say at this point, I'm just going to have to wait until the first episodes out and see where they go with it.
Yeah, they constantly made sure Clementine was either front and center or looked more "badass" compared to the other characters .
That's not me dissing Clementine(even if this incarnation kinda deserves it),btw; that's me mocking the marketing.
I completely agree, that's what I was referencing. And a lot of these were coming out while people were still under the impression that the game would feature dual protagonists, because of how heavily she was being marketed in the shots and because until that point newcomer Javier had been promoted as joining, not replacing. I think it was in December when the game went up for sale on Amazon, and that told us more than anything TT had about the game until that point.
I'm not as upset as other people were and/or still are, but it was unambigiously disappointing that that ultimately wasn't the case. Would've been a really interesting innovation of the gameplay as well as the storytelling.
And to be fair, he was pretty clearly never meant to be a replacement. The people saying that were just being hyper possessive and paranoid.
True, I think that was part of the disappointment, that the balance tipped majorly in favor of a new character. Had it resembled anything like what had been presented it probably wouldn't have received the reaction it did at release.
Replaced might have been a bit much to describe it. Displaced in the entry might be more accurate. I think that "save the girl" crap really sums up their approach to the game. Season 2 felt like a sequel, the dialogue, interactions, and just little things here and there made you feel like it was a continuing story. ANF feels more like a stand alone entry. The Wellington and Alone flashbacks are the most obvious, they could easily be just bad experiences. Kenny and Janes were just horrifically done, though. They were less of a sendoff and more of a "the girls damaged, bruhs."
Really, they were pretty much as simple as "man, life doesn't get much better than thAH SHIT SON, I GOTTA GO!" The approach they took in S2 just conveyed the feeling of this being a series, because they were afraid to make callbacks to season 1. ANF took the very vague "ominous comment or loose reference that you might get if you played the previous games, but low key enough that nothing specific is mentioned if you haven't. Worldbuilding!" And it's jarring, because the people who were interested in continuing Clems story really get no payoff. She ends the game the same way she starts it, wandering on the road alone babbling about goofballs. On the other hand, you've got this brand new character and his brand new family that the story will stress to the player is his focus. And we get brief flashbacks to events years ago, while his story itself is strangely pushed 4 years into the future, conveniently to let him intersect with the character who was in previous games after enough time has passed to get her into the story and current events in the comics.
They seemed to want to tell a new story, but they didn't want to risk omitting Clementine even though they had no idea how to work her into the narrative. It's like they had two houses, a Javier house and a Clementine house. They decided to compromise, so they burnt both houses down, set up a ripped up tent inbetween them, looked at us an said "TAADAA!"
It's possible to be both, right?
Not in even amounts.
I am highly anticipating the copious amounts of schadenfreude I shall receive from watching them fall on their face again.
I guess I'm setting this example?
I'd probably be up to do the same in regards to ANF!Clementine.
I hope they can provide us a good final season,i like Telltale games a lot but if they fail again i'm just gonna lose faith in them.
I feel like we're all on a sinking ship.
Some of us try to continue like it's not all coming to an end.
Some of us thinking of a different ending because they dislike what they got.
Others are in total panic.
And the small few that accept fate and try to make the best of it.
So long as they're not misleading.
Good luck with that!
You are evenly hyped and worried?
Would you cease from purchasing their other games if Walking Dead's last installment fails again?
Both, but leaning a bit more on the side of hyped. Clem will be back as the sole playable character, the story for the season has already been set (finding AJ), a major player from Season 1 is coming back (Gary Whitta), the writer of Episode 1 has done some great stuff in the past, and recent interviews and comments by Telltale's new CEO seem to be taking management in a new, improved, and more efficient direction. However, I am worried since I'd imagine many of the same people who worked on ANF will probably return for the final season, the story can be entirely rewritten again under the fear of it not being a "traditional TWD story," the fact that it will be coming out less than a year after ANF ended, and, worst of all, Clem still looks like this.
Just...ugh.
You say Gary Whitta's the writer for episode one?
No, the writer for episode 1 is a woman named Jessica Krause, who was a writer for Batman Season 1 and Guardians of the Galaxy. Gary Whitta is just returning as the game's narrative consultant like he did in the first season.
Yes,because that would mean they haven't learn anything,they have to give the fans a good final season.
Honestly Clem's hair is the least of my concerns about the final season.
Hell, I am worried about the Episode lengths at this point, felt like ANF was a mini-series. Low-ky petrified about the lengths for Season 4.
Of course I hope that the final season will be good, but looking at the last one... I'm really worried that they will screw Clementine even more up than they already did in A New Frontier.
None. I just won't care if it turns out to be shit. I want it to be good so I can be done with this franchise once and for all. A New Frontier just ruined everything.
I know what has me worried: Gabe procreating with our daughter. That puke of a romance was so forced I thought it was meant to be joke at first for how generically cliche it was.
Please Clem just get a dog instead and one that doesn't try to bite your arm off; that'll make things all better.
Chiqui, she already has a baby to take care of and that's AJ. I severely doubt she'd bother having one herself in general.
I did too, but primarily because the characters(well, Javier and Conrad) and the writing itself in Part 2 seemed to be treating it in a lampshadey, Take That manner.
And while I do think the concept of Gabe developing crush [on Clementine] wouldn't be out of way for his character depending on how the story is told, it otherwise didn't fit with either of their portrayals.
Plus, I liked the dynamic they had beforehand much better.
Um....
Neither. Just end this series now i say. I'd actually love it if Telltale turned round and cancelled S4
Nah. ANF isn't the type of crap a series should end on. At least go out on one legitimate attempt instead of a misleading cash grab that was fake Hispanics exist because reasons. How the hell does David pronounce his daughters name correctly twice more than Xavier, when he says her name twice?
Telltale, If your main Cuban character is played by a white guy but you insist on throwing in Spanish words and names, comp for a few fucking Spanish lessons, maybe?
I'm sad because it's the end of Clementine, but I truly think Telltale will do good by her. They love her as much as we do, they've made that very clear. I think they'll pull out all the stops to give her a great send off.
None....I just don't give a shit currently until something pops up...then my hype is regained like a foolish child....
I'm more worried about the people in charge. People who think a sequel will scare potential new fans away from a sequel, so we end of with trash like ANF trying to welcome people in, and a half assed remaster that omits much of the original games emotion. Remasters generally try to improve the core game through graphics. Telltale tried that, and omitted things we previously asked they bring back to gain a cheap buck at peoples expenses.
I wish I can agree full-heartedly to this, but I still have my doubts. But maybe leaving the story Clem-centered and not making the story duo-protagonist will help them focus on on making a fulfilling conclusion to her story. But until then, all we can do is wait.
If telltale puts as much effort as they re putting in on batman currently then i think it might be a good season. ((althought obviously not season 1 level.))
