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..] @italianmachine1222 im gonna say it plain and simple fuck you…….. gaayyyyyyyyyyyyy prick
[..YouTube..] I’m already bored to “death”
[..YouTube..] sooooooo……whens the next episode?? its been a month
[..YouTube..] This had better be good.
[..YouTube..] @LittleMann459 Lol Stfu wAt iv seen from screen shots and the fact that their previous titles are dismAl. Plus the game will be released like episodes which does not appeal to the broader audience
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 Actually, I’d rather play something with a good solid story with characters you care about and motivates you to play it to see what happens next. WoW, BF and MW are games that just go on and on and on and can never be beaten nor do they give me any kind of satisfaction of playing them. Screw that. If I just wanted to blow away endless hordes of zombies I’d buy Resident Evil 5 and only play The Mercenaries Mode.
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 One day in the future I hope to make a game that is exactly what you are thinking about
[..YouTube..] They need a game about pure zombie survival not just killing pure survival like you have to get water and food and you have to find a shelter of build one
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 if only game developers would listen to the people who buy games. I already want your game lol
[..YouTube..] Does anyone else find that with all the technology today a majority of games are a let down. They are short, crap story lines and uninteresting
[..YouTube..] is that a review?
[..YouTube..] I think the point is being missed by the developers and the series. The allure of the zombie genre is not just killing. In this world our lives are predetermined. We dont get the chance to prove ourselves or conquer. What if we could start over inTHIS world but everything was ours for the taking. Rebuild society OUR way. The storyline is a good idea and could be incorporated as a sideline.Dead Island failed by endng freeplay after the jungle. What if I just wanted to take the island and be king?
[..YouTube..] the ol’ beat it and chuck it
[..YouTube..] is that game on ps3 cant wait to buy it
[..YouTube..] im a huge zombie nut like the show got season 1 on dvd
[..YouTube..] Telltale, don’t soil it. No point and click.
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 I have good news for you, and anyone interested in an “open world” zombie survival game, except rather than NPC’s, the server will actually hold over a thousand players, all surviving in the city. The game includes weapons, carpentry & farming, looting & driving, rationing, rare ammo counts, and teamwork. The zombies only die from headshots too. It is looking to be the most realistic zombie game of all time. Anyone interested?
GOOGLE: “Class3” & “Class4” by UndeadLabs
[..YouTube..] are the graphics in a 1960s cartoon way?
[..YouTube..] honestly they can make an amazing game but yet they start this shit up
[..YouTube..] ***VIDEO SPOILER ALERT*** Don’t watch this video if your started reading the comic. They revealed a very climatic situation.
[..YouTube..] I love it how the zombie in the foreground poster just stares at the back of the guy’s head just thinking ‘ Hm, brains. There was a time when I used to get that. Not anymore. Not anymore….’
[..YouTube..] @gTwizzel ***IDIOT ALERT*** it tells you spoiler earning around 6:14
[..YouTube..] *warning
[..YouTube..] Can’t wait
[..YouTube..] meh, I would prefer a proper action/suspence video game.
[..YouTube..] First episode? Are they trying to make thus Back to the Future?
[..YouTube..] I still think it’s gonna be a 5 episode escort mission..
[..YouTube..] are we going to have to pay for each episode as they come out?
[..YouTube..] i wanna play as rick not some rando dude
[..YouTube..] @codekool24 watch the video idiot.
They tell you why Rick isn’t the main character
[..YouTube..] i wish it was a sandbox zombie game! that would be really epic and cool! too bad it isnt! 🙁 i swear we need a video game which is sandbox. imagine gta but with zombies and war torn and like the goal is really to survive etc. It would be AWESOME! maybe boring in some parts but yeah there can be missions!
[..YouTube..] But in this game can you decide where to set and how do you do with zombies? It’s free or it’s quest game?
[..YouTube..] that shows how much kirkman cares about twd
[..YouTube..] So stupid, when you play a video game you don’t exactly want to have wait forever for the next part to come out, even more stupid is that each episode last 2 hours, who else think’s this sound’s stupid
[..YouTube..] When. Comes out?
[..YouTube..] Oh man more video games bout zombies I’m just good with Left 4 Dead n Dead Island (sorta suck) dead rising n psn resident evils how bout something new ppl
[..YouTube..] This seem like a lame dead island copycat n that was a lame game well it was too slow for me
[..YouTube..] A 2 hour episode counts as heavy content? 🙁
[..YouTube..] If you do it for real survival, I will instabuy your game, if you make some shit like dead island… forget it!
It should be open world, no loading, and dont put stupid floating scores and combokills and shit like that please
[..YouTube..] wait a minute? episodes? FORGET IT!!
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala – totally agree. they could just do it as an extra download for GTA
[..YouTube..] wow guys, slow down there. dead island sucked, but you can’t expect every zombie game to be shit.
[..YouTube..] I hope they have Steven Yeun doing the voice of Glen! Glen is my favourite character 😀
[..YouTube..] @djchaos101 I love the idea of it being in episodes. Adds drama. It worked beautifully for Alan Wake
[..YouTube..] @AkumaX666 Yeah but this is based on an AWESOME comic book/TV series.
[..YouTube..] @ElectronicGodhand dead island was awesome!!
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala imagine gta with zombies…….add in some western time gameplay and you have red dead redemtion: living dead 😀
[..YouTube..] tv show is shit. literally.
expect same with game. or even worse.
[..YouTube..] @skunkredhair You’re shit literally and you’re a dumbass stfu your opinion is completely un cared about gtfo kthxbye
[..YouTube..] Tv show is sexiness, game will be sexiness,
OMGWALKINGDEADGASM!!!
