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..] @vivalarazala Exactly thats would be so awsome picking up weapons, surviving.You know like they do on the show, and also make the character feel weak and scared comparet to the zombies, so its not always SHOOT and KILL but running and hiding.
[..YouTube..] That*
Compared* lol
[..YouTube..] the plot is different to the story of the Series right?
[..YouTube..] Make it online free roam.
[..YouTube..] ok.. can already tell. Clementine is going to turn and you’r going to have to kill her at the end. So predictable.
[..YouTube..] @JimmyBlade69 You cared enough to answer me.. that’s funny!
Also you obviously haven’t read the comics, don’t understand why you are so mad
[..YouTube..] @skunkredhair SHUT UP ASSHOLE
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare… Nuff’ said
[..YouTube..] it will be nice if it was free roam and you can play with up to 25 people online and you have to eat and sleep and stuff like that
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 and Dead Island were pretty much that in a sense. But I agree with you 110%, seeing how games have evolved over the years (graphics, gameplay, etc.), a sandbox zombie game is definitely needed.
[..YouTube..] @justinnerdgames Would be kinda cool but I have a feeling someone will either quit halfway or start team killing…
[..YouTube..] 2 hours per episode? what if i want to play more?!!
[..YouTube..] @everythingpony Pfff, now and a brony. Don’t you have anything better to do at age 40 than watching girls show? Damn internet
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala oh! especially if you can play online with as many players as the survivors in the comics!
[..YouTube..] 8:05
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala i thought xbox 360 first came out with a game like that….it’s called DEADRISING and guess what? *dun dun dunnnnn* they came out with another one called DEADRISING 2
[..YouTube..] TelltaleGames? sounds like Lego Walking Dead
[..YouTube..] I’d really like this game as a real survival (for exemple like Fallout), in a big map just like GTA’s. The chance to chose your past, creat your family and friends and then find yourself in this zombie world, trying to survive and to find the people that you love. They could be already dead, completely random and with a different story everytime you start a new game.
[..YouTube..] @LittleMann459 I’ve lost count of how many days have passed since I began my search for italianmachine1222… When I set out I knew the chances of success were slim, but slim chances are all we’ve got now.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala there is its called dead rising 2 off the records it has a sandbox mode
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Mercenaries+Fallout+GTA+Walking Dead= One Happy Nerd.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Dead Island is kind of like that
[..YouTube..] i like sunshine……
[..YouTube..] @IsItCollegeYet Kinda, but they also kinda failed at it. That trailer had everyone fooled. 😛
[..YouTube..] when does it come out?
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala If you have played Red Dead Redemption it had a zombie add on. It’s a sandbox type game but it was way too short. But if any of these zombie games were anything like that believe me that’s all I’d play.
[..YouTube..] @IsItCollegeYet Dead Island was a level-up thing and that was a big turn off for some people.
[..YouTube..] i acutally thought the game would be kinda like fallout+dead island and how u custom ur character and savage for food,fuel and weapons and also like find ur companion or start off with them just saying
[..YouTube..] Wow a strong protagonist and a tiny little girl that is changed by your actions… dosent sound anything like Bioshock 2
[..YouTube..] @anbusaber13 Thats what I was hoping! And an online aspect where you could get in camps with your friends, and try to fortify your base and work as a team to survive. I know thats setting my hopes a little high, but that would be SO good.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Look up “Undead Labs Class 3”
It is an Xbox Exclusive but it is basically an open world zombie game.
[..YouTube..] Is each episode more money or is it a free DLC once you buy episode one? That’s kind of a lot of money.
[..YouTube..] Graphics suck, hopefully gameplay doesn’t.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala LOL my brother just talked about this today, in your exact words.
[..YouTube..] I want, I want, I want…. 🙂
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala dead island?
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala You got dead island
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Try “Project Zomboid”. It’s an 8 bit indie game but it’s EXACTLY what you’re looking for 😀
[..YouTube..] @Ahrraminh lol, he’s on about page 10 at the moment
[..YouTube..] Hmh. What I hoped from “The Walking Dead” game was a true survival horror experience. I wasn’t expecting a directed narrative; what I wanted was a game where you just have to survive. Gather food, find shelter and survivors, basically just stay alive; until you are killed.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala For now we have Dead Island.
[..YouTube..] @skunkredhair No I didn’t read the comics because I have this thing called a life, and a job and a girlfriend and a penis which you have none of them I’m not a lonely fucking nerd living in my parents basement reading comics all day long grow up kid
[..YouTube..] @hank01111 Games aren’t all about military shooters, i’m glad something different comes out once in a while and don’t tell me you don’t have enough shooters already. It was clear from the beginning that this game was going to be story driven, not mindless killing or open world, it’s al about the characters, setting and narrative, much like the comic and tv-show. People like you are the main reason gaming is going down the shitter, developers are not taking chances anymore, only COD clones.
[..YouTube..] @BapestaB If you’re into the whole point-and-click genre, Jurassic Park was the only shitty game they made.
[..YouTube..] @camzore It’s not going to be anything like Dead Island. It will be story-driven and character centric and don’t hate on Telltale to much, Jurassic Park really screwed their reputation, which is understandable, but before that they were known for making some cool and nostalgic adventure games.
[..YouTube..] @eigenlaut Jurassic Park was shit, yes, we all know that, but to call the other games crap, that i can’t agree on. I grew fond of Adventure games when i was young and those games are faithful to the old-school genre, if you would rather play COD or some other crap be my guest, but don’t judge a game before it’s even out.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala That game is out already it’s called red dead redemption lol I know what u mean though. A sandbox modern day zombie game would be bad ass!
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala You mean like dead island?
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala I really dig the idea, I think they really shouldn’t have a “Main quest”. One where you can do what you when you want, having to get supplies (Food,Water,Ammo, Batteries, Etc.) and risk being caught up in a gun fight with other survivors or saving some from near death. I think it would easily be my fav. if there was Multiplayer of lets say 8-16 players, with PvP having to find your guns/weapons and other gear in a war torn City/outskirts. Really hoping there will be a game soon.
[..YouTube..] @vivalarazala Ever played the Undead Nightmare expansion pack to Red Dead Redemption? It’s as close to “GTA with zombies” as you’re gonna get.
