It looks like Overkill is pulling another cash grab like they’ve done countless other times with their shitty Payday 2 ports and that god awful RAID: WW2 game. Overkill’s TWD takes so many assets and animations from Payday 2 it legit looks like a fucking DLC, lets not forget the engine they’re using is many years old now as well. Overkill really hasn’t done anything that great since the original release of Payday 2 back in 2013.

Never mind that we didn’t get any update on TFS on this panel. Kirkman, the God himself, on his panel said to one fan with funny hat that there are several people ALREADY working on it and then added that he already said to much. I’m suprised that nobody’s talking about it. Its great news.
In few days, all of this will become a memory, Clem’s story will be concluded and we will be hardened from these literally dark ages of telltale.
It`s okay that they did not talk about TFS much, it is still too early for that. However it is NOT okay that they used Telltale Walking Dead as their thumbnail for this panel talking about "the future of the walking dead games". It was clearly done to draw much more attention to Overkill game panel than it would have originally received.
And yeah, off-topic about Overkill. Game received a lot of negativity and it had nothing to do with the panel today. Many people believed that we would get an open-world survival game like Dying Light for example, and the developers did not deny that. In fact we did not know at all what this game is going to be, we just had very atmospheric trailers (they were really good). But then they released the gameplay and all we got was Left 4 Dead. I am not saying it is bad, but a lot of people hoped for a different experience and were just dissapointed .

A curiosity question: as a singleplayer myself, what was your reaction to EA saying that singleplayer games are a thing of the past and multiplayer is the only way forward?
The panel briefly touches on TFS being finished by someone (as per Kirkman's words on how the story will be finished) Obviously not the great news we wanted but it is something.
And now... The last 25 people left at TellTale have been laid off. Well fuck me sideways and send me to hell, this is the worst news I've had since last week
They didn't talk about TFS? Literally not surprised at all. Here's what I believe happened, they were trying to look for a picture to advertise the panel so someone went on google and typed in "walking dead game" and found a S1 pic and just put it on there. They didn't know jack shit about Telltale but it was walking dead and it was a game so it was good enough for them. These negotiations take time and I honestly wasn't expecting anything. Here's a useful life tip guys, don't get your hopes up too high for something, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Ok it sounds like not every single one of them was, just the Minecraft crew. Someone who it looks like still works at the company responded and said she didn’t know her fate yet.
So let me get this straight:

What good news? The ONLY good news this week that I recall was that TFS is likely going to be finished in some way, that's it!
Workers still have no severance pay, no healthcare and no jobs. Future projects are still in the dark as to what will happen to them, and with the 'skeleton crew' being laid off... I'm sorry but I think this is heading faster towards the end than I thought it would.
Well how the hell are they gonna meet contractual obligations now their entire skeleton crew is gone. This shit sucks. I need a break from telltale in general. Just gonna stick to twitter from now on.

Overkill’s TWD seems to be their main priority as of now, and honestly, I don’t blame them. Besides, I think the game looks great and fun. I… more’d just play it to have a good time.
I feel like a lot of people shit on the game solely because it doesn’t have Clementine in it. Guys, TWD universe doesn’t solely have to revolve around Clementine. That’s like the MCU being focused on Thor and his fans bashing another Marvel movie/show because he isn’t in it. Give it a chance at least.
I agree completely! It feels weird to say but I'm old school in my gaming habits: I love my singleplayer titles the most, and a nice little multiplayer on the side is good too. But making everything online only and multiplayer only? HELL NO!
That's it. Telltale is officially dead. There was just no way for the studio to survive that and they will sure as shit not survive now.
The least they can do now is to make sure TFS goes to a studio that can actually finish it and -most importantly - put as many of the staff as possible on a contract so they get to finish it while getting payed.
This whole situation is just handled so poorly especially in regards to the devs. In what world do these people deserve this kind of treatment?

Who cares about TTG closing?They pretty much closed weeks ago! It was clear as day they would not be ones who would finish the game, it's in hands of some other company.

I'm a singleplayer so I don't really care about Overkills TWD.

“I have said too much”
What was there to say too much about if it was purely speculation and hope? ? episode 3 and 4 confirmed
Never mind that we didn’t get any update on TFS on this panel. Kirkman, the God himself, on his panel said to one fan with funny hat that there are several people ALREADY working on it and then added that he already said to much. I’m suprised that nobody’s talking about it. Its great news.

I knew it....I had little to no hope anyway for it to be mentioned.
Kirkman’s comment on TFS
YIKES.

The more good news we get, the more people get laid off.
Man, that audience sucks. They give of less emotions than a herd of walkers.
What the hell, who even is left at this point?

Worst news? It's something. I wasn't expecting them to even address it. Think of the good news we've gotten this week.
Dafuq?

Eh? Who the hell could that be???
BULLSHIT. Seriously though.. I think that God of War, Detroit: Become Human, Spiderman and probably Red Dead Redemption 2 say everything.
Guess we will get ep 3 when half life 3 comes out....nice
I think people don't like it cause the game looks pretty generic. It looks like a mobile game.
Nooo

Someone who responded to her Twitter, I’ll upload a screenshot in a second.

Yikes...
Interesting. Sounds like if TFS isn't finished as a game Kirkman is planning on completing the story in comic form.
...
Telltale is not dead until the CEO says its dead
They're basically the Titanic right now.
Well i still keeping my hope up for TFS
Nothing is gone until Telltale is closing/The CEO said its gone
So keep your hope up
Its not over yet. So keep calm and carry on
I've all but given up on TFS since Telltale just released the remaining 25 employees from the company.
Who cares about TTG closing?They pretty much closed weeks ago! It was clear as day they would not be ones who would finish the game, it's in hands of some other company.
I appreciate a old school gamer since I am one myself. I think that I haven't played any multiplayer game since 2014
It was clear as day that Telltale would not be the ones finishing the TFS.
