New game workaround question

So I'm trying to start a new game from episode 1, but of course I'm getting that problem where it keeps asking me to overwrite my existing save, even if I choose a different slot.

The workaround asks me to load episode 4 and exit to the menu. Well, it won't let me load my episode 4 save because I've already finished episode 4. If I try to load it, it just takes me to the episode 5 coming soon page.

Can someone please tell me how I can play this game? Am I stuck and can't play a new game?

    I guess that means I'm out of luck? I can't play the game again without destroying my other save?

    When you reach the Episode 5 page, you can just tab back to Episode 4 and load your last checkpoint (just before the end of the Episode). For Episode 4 to be considered complete in the future, you would have to replay through the credits, which takes about 5-10 minutes from the final checkpoint.

    MattP, this doesn't work. I press A on episode 4 and it takes me to the episode 5 page. I press LB to bring me back to the episode 4 page, press A again, and it takes me back to the episode 5 page. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely no way to load episode 4. Any other ideas?

    Try exiting the game through the Main Menu, then relaunching the game, loading to the Episode 4 screen, and trying to rewind to the last available checkpoint in Episode 4.
