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..] @BapestaB Yeah, there are those times where you reply to a youtube comment expressing your opostion on the commenter’s opinion; and then they outright act like a douche because they are so horrofied at the fact someone disagres with them. I’m glad you’re not one of them. 🙂 I REALLY want this game to be good. I want Telltale to be looked at as a game company who produces quality titles and not some joke that makes only mediocre titles. (I’ll also keep that me proving you right thin in mind. ;D )
[..YouTube..] AS MUCH AS I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REAAAALLYYY!!! LOVE WALKING DEAD, I WANT THIS ALSO!!!!! PLS GOD PLS PLS LET IT BE FREE!!! D’; sorry for caps btw :3
[..YouTube..] Replay value does not equal profitability for the game developer. As a game consumer who readily pays for map packs and sequels, I want a legacy of games dedicated to improvement rather than a one shot wonder that got it wrong. Include the storyline as the single player mode to a multiplayer world. Obviously the intent is to create a soap opera style game, a genre that may fade as fast as the attention span of a 12 year old. It’s mature gamers that keep the company alive after xmas is over.
[..YouTube..] I don’t understand is this
[..YouTube..] I don’t understand is this going to be a 1 game or 4 or 5 2 hour games?
[..YouTube..] im not a fan of story video games… whats the point? could have been epic….
[..YouTube..] MOTHER OF GOD, I NEED THIS GAME NOW!
[..YouTube..] Make this into a real game or you’ll be facing the wrath of angry zombies
[..YouTube..] Thank you for putting a spoiler warning and the time to skip to. I’m looking forward to this game now!
[..YouTube..] they dont need to do it episodic they just need to make the entire game once and circulate it like normal games instead of making us buy it from xbox live
[..YouTube..] if its not open world like gta. don’t make it! it would be awesome to have a open world zombie game
[..YouTube..] Just one thing
WHEN THE F*CK THIS GAME CAMES OUT!!!!
:f7u12:
[..YouTube..] @kyl3456 Red dead redemption Undead nightmare, Dead island.
[..YouTube..] i was so excitedd!!! … until they said its going to be split into a bunch of different episodes. like no. just give us the whole game at once, because it’ll get really annoying to have to keep keep buying the next part.
[..YouTube..] Oh god i watched the spoiler and now i am regretting it… How can i unhear something????
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 you need Fort Zombie!, but GTA style.
[..YouTube..] COME TO MY CHANEL FOR DETAILS ON THE OFFICIAL GAME FOR XBOX AND PS3!!
THUMBS THIS UP SO WALKING DEAD FANS CAN SEE
[..YouTube..] 1) Why is Big Bird in this video.
and 2) I hope this will be a cool cool game.
P.S. jeffcoat
[..YouTube..] Hey, that Walking Dead board game looks different from a Walking Dead board game I’ve seen in real life.
[..YouTube..] Wha?! There’s 2 Walking Dead board games!
[..YouTube..] @BoKnowsBrains Where’s Big Bird?
[..YouTube..] @0Banjo0 But this is: DON’T OPEN DEAD INSIDE ce qui veut dire : Ne pas ouvrir des morts dedans.
[..YouTube..] the screenshots look cartoonish :/
[..YouTube..] This is going to be an arcade game?! I’m a huge fan of the walking dead and it would have been better to come out at the stores. I agree with the person under me, it looks cartoonish?
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 oh you mean stalker…
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 oh you mean stalker…
[..YouTube..] @scvrounder Well there are people who do want that, and making an action game based on the walking dead probably wouldnt work as well as a story base done. There are plenty of fun non-story games to cater to you.
[..YouTube..] Oh good, I was afraid there would be some characters I care about in this game, glad to hear Telltale is continuing the policy of making games starring inconsequential side characters that aren’t from the original work.
[..YouTube..] All games by tell tale are bad. Just look at jurrasic park
[..YouTube..] Not to be racist or anything but wasn’t the main character for this game supposed to be black? Because in the background the character that’s walking with the girl looks white.
[..YouTube..] Don’t listen to the haters Game gonna rule Adventure games = Greatest Genre
[..YouTube..] thumbs up for sam and max season 4 or a new season of SBcg4ap
[..YouTube..] so i have a to buy a new game every month becuse they are in episodes
[..YouTube..] hey uh fyi spoilers
[..YouTube..] No not episodes that sucks
[..YouTube..] @TheHawk1187 yer but the games are heaps cheaper so its kind of like paying for a game when you want to play the next bit instead of paying 60-100 dollars at once and playing half
[..YouTube..] @alexrichoalex so i will pay like 5 or 10 each episode
[..YouTube..] @alexrichoalex so i will pay like 5 or 10 each episode
[..YouTube..] so are the games graphics in the comic book style?
[..YouTube..] @TheHawk1187 well im not 100% sure but its coming to places like the mac app store xbox live arcade and psn and there website for pc so i couldnt imagine it being over priced as places like the app store you can get a semi decent game for 4 dollars so yer i would say 5-10 maybe even 15
[..YouTube..] @alexrichoalex ok cool thanks for the help
[..YouTube..] when is the second episode ?
[..YouTube..] when is the second episode ?
[..YouTube..] Is daryl in the game
[..YouTube..] i knew it, telltale fucked it…….fucken good thanks for nuthing…btw graphics look like gameboy advance…………gaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[..YouTube..] so telltale games is making this game cmon.no offense but there games suck and its gonna be in two parts atleast we still have the show and comics. i wish capcom or valve was making this game somepeople who are experianced at making zombies survival games. im still getting the game tho
[..YouTube..] so its not going to be a disk game we hafe to download it from our consoles and other stuff
[..YouTube..] @darksting27 Valve are working much better titles and Capcom would just rob you blind. At least Telltale cares about their fans and the liscenses they make.
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 The Walking Dead franchise is not, nor will ever be, a FPOWS, As much as I Fallout 3, it wouldn’t work. You have to remember that Telltale is in one of the hardest postion in game development. There big enough to get noticed in the industry, but still a pretty small company.They have a pretty restricted deadlines and budgets to work with which allows for only so much to be done to a game.With all these drawbacks people still expect them to make AAA titles;and harp on them if it’s not.
[..YouTube..] @italianmachine1222 what part is the game-play, how did you know that the graphics suck you fucking dumb-ass and if you don’t want it go make a game for yourself….
