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..] DON’T DEAD OPEN INSIDE
[..YouTube..] @XIIIgfr whats gfto
[..YouTube..] @MrHLGNinja i no but i dont like it and makes the game a little gay
[..YouTube..] @dougiefresh103 It looks that way because their trying to make the game look like the comics it’s based off, not the next COD game.
[..YouTube..] @0Banjo0 When I first wathced the episode I tought Of that
[..YouTube..] @0Banjo0 DON’T OPEN DEAD INSIDE*
[..YouTube..] Game looks awesome!!!@!@!@!@
[..YouTube..] Game looks awesome!!!@!@!@!@
[..YouTube..] @XIIIgfr what a dumbass you are
[..YouTube..] @Videogammer69 they’re that obsessed with the comics their trying to make the graphics look like it? O and COD sucks
[..YouTube..] Why did they let telltale have the rights to make this, its going to suck and if anyone thinks its going to be good you are all blind. Have you played the Jurassic Park game? it is terrible and all their games are kiddish and boring. I have no hopes for this game and its a huge disappointment because i love TWD
[..YouTube..] 2 hours per episode? This better be cheap.
[..YouTube..] @XIIIgfr life or gtfo.
[..YouTube..] @ohiost74 Yeah but 1.5 hours of COD is really worth of 60 euros right?
[..YouTube..] THEE WIZAAAAAAAAAARD!

also
Bird noises!
[..YouTube..] @dougiefresh103 There trying to make a game based off the walking dead comic, so since they don’t have millions of dollars to make photo-realistic graphics, They decided to make the game look like comics. I don’t see what so hard to understand about that. Yes I know COD sucks, I was making reference to it because, unlike Telltale, Activison has millions of dollars they get from ripping off players every year that they can just blow off on “making” their graphics.
[..YouTube..] @BapestaB You can’t say this game is going to suck because Jurassic Park did, that’s idiotic. The team that worked on JP is different from the team that’s working on TWD and they have very different views on the way they made or are making their games. BTTF & S&M are ok games though their stories are moved through humor rather than a deep emotional pull. TWD, I feel, will have more of an emotional pull than anything Telltale has made, an it seems like the devs know what they’re talking about.
[..YouTube..] I hope it will be better than Jurassic Park .
[..YouTube..] Is this the prison that I think it is the one where Rick and the survivors find
[..YouTube..] HELL YHEA!!!!!
[..YouTube..] QUICK MAX! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
[..YouTube..] quick question, someone answer. Ive never played a telltale game. Since it’s episodic and your choices stick with you , maybe mass effect style, does that mean I should hold off on replaying until Ive finished the final one?
[..YouTube..] I never really read the entire series of the book, and haven’t gotten too watch the entire series for the show.
But I like the story of it I guess, and the game sounds interesting.
Hope it’s fun and alot like real life much as possible.
PLEASE!
[..YouTube..] ive a feeling this is gonna be shit
[..YouTube..] @ICARELESSI I got 2 words for ya. UWE BOLL!!!!!!!! yes he changed career into directing video games. lol
[..YouTube..] >shit devs
>made nothing but shit
>obviously gonna be QTE crap and no gameplay
HAHAH NOPE
[..YouTube..] I had high hopes when I saw the name, but after 4mins of waffle, im already over it.
[..YouTube..] come to my channel for a WHITNEY HOUSTON TRIBUTE VIDEO. A TALENT GONE TO SOON

[..YouTube..] @Videogammer69 well okay but im still scare that the game will be a let down
[..YouTube..] @sondlar no best zombie game is dead island
[..YouTube..] so we cant buy it at the store only online but how are the people who dont have online get to play
[..YouTube..] so we cant buy it at the store only online but how are the people who dont have online get to play
[..YouTube..] @CYRONX1 INSIDE DON’T DEAD OPEN
[..YouTube..] @dougiefresh103 THEY DON’T
[..YouTube..] @Videogammer69 But overall telltale is like a bad movie director, No matter what actors or production team they have the movies that director churns out still are brutal and painful to sit there and watch. Telltale has never made a game ive enjoyed playing and as good as the story, full of emotion as it may be will still fail in the fact of what a game is truly about and that is the gameplay. They don’t have the skill or the budget to make a game as anticipated as this one
[..YouTube..] Sunshine wasn’t bad..:(
[..YouTube..] Please christ, don’t be dead island :'[
I was so so so disappointed ;-;
[..YouTube..] sweet hope this is a good zombie game 😀
[..YouTube..] @dougiefresh103 they dont
[..YouTube..] nice phone number, hahahahah 707-701-DEAD
sounds like a deadly number to call.
[..YouTube..] Game developers keep creating “beat it and chuck it” games. Scripted airy fairy touchy feely games are no fun and last a weekend at best. I want to block up a building like MW then expand to a town, then a city. I want something to defend and then I want to scrounge like Fallout 3. I want a huge world with other survivors, lots of NPCs to defend my town while i scrounge.
Profitability is measured by indefinite expandability and playability, MW, BF3 and WoW have this, are you awake in there?
[..YouTube..] MAKE IT FREEE FUCKING GOD DAMN WORLD< LET USSSSS!!! ROME AS WE WANT!!!!, LET US BE WHO WE WANT GOD DAMNET!!!
[..YouTube..] are the graphics going to be this bad?
[..YouTube..] @BapestaB I appreciate the honest reply rather than “trolling” me with idiotic PMs like others.:/ Anyway you are right about the gameplay, that’s one of Telltale many flaws. Though we can’t really say the gameplay for this game is “bad” or “good” untill we actually see it. Sure they make/made only adventure games mostly, but to be fair; your average, run-off the mill adveture game doesn’t have much gameplay at all and Telltale has said this won’t be an Adventure Game or some QTE mess.
[..YouTube..] @camson107 Umm, it’s an art style?
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 To be fair, this game will be choice-orieneted meaning that choices you have to make in Episode 1 could effect how Epiosde 5 plays-out so people might be more eagar to play it once more to see what other choices they could’ve and what will happen because of it which will give the game a little bit more replay value unlike most of Telltale’s Games.
[..YouTube..] AJ and Sean are hawt as fuck.
[..YouTube..] @Videogammer69 haha no problem you weren’t being a douche to me so i wasn’t going to insult you for no reason and i suppose we are just going to have to wait and see when more info comes out and at least some gameplay footage. I just have high hopes and really want to like this game but when it does come out and if i enjoy it then ill admit to you i was wrong
