Lead Designers Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin sit down with AJ LoCascio in the first episode of Playing Dead – the topic of conversation is what exactly Telltale’s upcoming game based on the Robert Kirkman comic ‘Walking Dead‘ is.
The game is based on the comic rather than the AMC TV show. Taking place in the greater Atlanta area, the game focuses on a group new to the ‘Walking Dead’ universe. Episode One (yes, it would appear we’re going to see another episodic game from Telltale) is set at the start of the zombie outbreak, a point on the comic’s timeline that sees main character Rick comatose after having been shot. Expect to see some familiar faces in the game, serving as sort of a reverse character builder Telltale’s Walking Dead will explore what some of the folks from the comic books were doing in the early days of Armageddon.

[..YouTube..] Holy shit! It’s Marty McFly!
[..YouTube..] but the comics are cartoons…. are they not ?
[..YouTube..] Graphics don’t mean shit stupid kid…
[..YouTube..] Will the game be sold at Gamestop?
[..YouTube..] hey man, are we going to be able to barricade doors and windows in this game ? that would be really cool.
[..YouTube..] im all for it being like the comic but i dont understand how you can interact with characters that are in the comic and not change the story….it better not be drastically changed like the show i like the take on the show but altering the original story twice would be dumb
[..YouTube..] agreed so what if it looks a little cartoony the game
[..YouTube..] no its a download
[..YouTube..] because story is the most important aspect of any game play system shock bad graphics but awesome story
[..YouTube..] hopefull a long time…
[..YouTube..] story and game length 😉 I have enough of playing a game 3-4 hours til the End credits…I remember Games where you played months…too bad such games are very rare these days
[..YouTube..] Looks like TF2 but a zombie version
[..YouTube..] I think each episode should be about 2 hours long, we don’t want it to be to short.
[..YouTube..] I think they said aprox 1-2 hours each so its a good amount considering its 5 episodes.
[..YouTube..] at least they arent like valve.
iirc the back from the future game took a year to get through it all, but then it was supposed to be released once each quarter.
But sure beats waiting 2-3 years between each episode
[..YouTube..] the first episode will take around two hours to complete
[..YouTube..] Why can’t it be a cartoon graphics, if they made it realistic it would be more of a budget. Also, not everyone has good graphic cards that can run those kind of games. If you liked the comic more tan you should like cartoon graphics since, I did see the comic and like a comic its drawn in a cartoon like style.
[..YouTube..] so you want a zombie game to be realistic? so you suggest they remove the zombies?
[..YouTube..] Probably around 2 hours or so, like their other games.
[..YouTube..] Can anyone explain to me if this game will be a point a click an RPG an 3rd person shooter?
[..YouTube..] People do realize that this is being made by the same people who made the new Jurassic Park and Sam and Max right?
This game will be horrible :|.
[..YouTube..] If TellTale is anything to go by, it will either be point and click or be like Jurassic park, mash the button in interactive cutscenes to do things.
[..YouTube..] Seeing the gameplay demo, it has some features of the game Heavyrain (button oriented cutscenes) but its not a huge part of the game, so it will be half and half.
[..YouTube..] hmmm ive never played a tell tale game so i was wondering thanks i will wait for a bit to get this then
[..YouTube..] If a zombie game was realistic then there would be no zombies..
[..YouTube..] Believe it or not, the two are not mutually exclusive. You can actually have a realistic zombie movie/game/book. In other words, there’s a world of difference between something like Dawn of the Dead and Evil Dead.
[..YouTube..] I got 4 thumbs up which makes your argument invalid lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal alalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
[..YouTube..] Two hours
[..YouTube..] 2hrs You can find out more on telltales website
[..YouTube..] What a well constructed and logical argument.
[..YouTube..] ikr
[..YouTube..] I have two major nagging concerns, the one guy talks about most zombie games being where you’re a nigh invulnerable killing machine with almost unlimited ammo, no I’ve played a lot of zombie games and there are already lot that aren’t like that, resident evil, the most iconic zombie game wasn’t like that. Also, the art style seems off, the one in the comic was very realistic and in black and white, this looks too cartoony and has too many pastels.
[..YouTube..] i hawe already pre orderd this game cant wait for it 😀
[..YouTube..] 2 hours LISTEN DUMB ASS
[..YouTube..] do you think that the colors of the game could be toned down a lot?
[..YouTube..] 12:16 They say around two hours per episode.
[..YouTube..] There is nothing unrealistic about zombies. There is a Cracked article about different real ways one could possibly happen!
[..YouTube..] Zombies is infected with a virus that turns of every function other than the motor functions and the hunger for raw flesh, which would kill the person to eat since we dont have the immunity to eat raw flesh, and your body needs blood no matter what so if a zombie gets shoot in the stomach. lounges, arties and so on it will die very fast. so no, zombies is fiction.
[..YouTube..] Actually you can eat almost all meat, including human meat, raw so long as it is fresh (And zombies eat it while you are still breathing!). This also explains why they don’t turn on their rotting comrades.
I do agree with the blood loss thing though.
[..YouTube..] No, also if you eat human flesh you will suffer from nerv damage and your motoristic functions will suffer greatly and a rotting corpse wont have any immune defense or blood cogilation.
[..YouTube..] That is only if the human is infected with the human equivalent of mad cow disease. They call it ‘Kuru’ for humans. It would still infect you if the meat were cooked anyway.
[..YouTube..] No it has nothing to do with any diseases, humans are not meant to eat humans, try it if you are so interested thou i strongly suggest you dont. This is common knowledge you learn in biologi in 9th grade..
[..YouTube..] If you learned that because your mate whispered it to you while you ignored the teacher then I am not surprised. Most common knowledge is wrong you know! There are countless tribes who practiced cannibalism without issue. If you claim that it isn’t to do with disease then what is it? People dont suffer nervous system damage just because they ‘aren’t meant to eat humans’. Really man.
[..YouTube..] Do you know what the difference between our flesh and the flesh we eat is? no? did you go to university? how ya know the cannibalism tribes didnt suffer from anything? you know em? no. you are some kid talking about stuff you have no idea of. I suggest getting some education before making random statements supported by no facts or evidence at all.
[..YouTube..] You are killing me here bro; I already told you the facts. Some cannibal tribes have suffered from neurone diseases due to ‘Kuru’ which is like mad cow disease for humans. Most people don’t have this. Also, you are the one who is claiming that you can get ill without being diseased, your grammar is awful and you think that human flesh is somehow different to other flesh – It isn’t. The irony of you calling me uneducated is crazy.
[..YouTube..] Omg i dont even think you know what a disease is, our bodies digest everything we eat and take the proteins and , etc of it. and its the fuel and it powers our muscles and, etc. A human would also get nerv damages by eating an animal that has eating human flesh to. Please learn some biology if you wanna have anything more to say. else, fuck off.
[..YouTube..] Crap, I just read through your posts properly and noticed that you HAVE to either be an eleven year old or autistic. I am sorry for humouring you, you can believe whatever you want – Just don’t make shit up like you have been doing.
[..YouTube..] Well in actuality the comic is pretty damn realistic it shows the hardships of a man who’s life has been flipped over due to a threat caused by a virus, so its pretty damn realistic.
[..YouTube..] And now you are writing with passive aggresion and try to dismiss actual facts just cuz you cant come up with any more bullshit to say. Consider yourself owned. thanks.
[..YouTube..] Usually I only get this frustrated when I argue with a religious nut. In those arguments I cannot disprove all of their fantasies and they are too thick to listen to reason. In our argument however, I can prove that you are entirely wrong. A quick google search on cannibalism and it’s effects renders your argument as incorrect!
Luckily for me, I read over your comments and noticed that you argue with the ability of an 11 year old – so it is all good.
