The Walking Dead (video game) - Telltales

[Rancid Carcass]

15 minute interview interview with Kirkman plus gameplay footage (starts at 7min). Looks like a pretty decent adventure: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2012/03/22/...-dead-the-game

The graphics look interesting, but not so sure if the gameplay will be?

The graphics look interesting, but not so sure if the gameplay will be? how it works in their jurassic park one: you watch a video of them being chased and every so often are prompted to hit up down left or right and if you miss then you go from gold to silver, then bronze 3 times then fail the 'scene'.

I love the tv series so much and I'm looking forward to the video game! I've found these two videos: Looks great!

^^ Welcome and thanks for sharing the links! I agree the footage looks good, but I don't know that the gameplay will be my cup of tea.

13 mins of gameplay

Well that looks better than i was expecting, certainly more interactive than the jurassic park one they made. and im digging the cel shaded look that imitates the comics. if its leaning more to the comics than the show im probably gonna pick this up for the mac.

[AcesandEights]

Some of that looks pretty damn cool, especially the cell shading (correct term?) that makes everything look like comic art, to a degree. I'm just not sold on the game play.

[Neil]

But it looks like a game totally on rails? It's basically an animated comic book where you press buttons when it tells you? Hmm... Where's the "game" in that?

[kidgloves]

The atmosphere is spot on though. Will definately pick this up. 400 ms points for the 360

The atmosphere is spot on though. Will definately pick this up. 400 ms points for the 360 I sort of agree, but if all you have to do it click a button when it tells you, is there really much risk? So is there really any skill or tension?

I prefer the cinematic types of games rather than the "kill everything in the room and run" types. I know it's nothing like it, but Resident Evil 2 was the best game ever made IMO. Next best was RE4. RE5 was good but didn't have the same qualities.

They've been making a big thing about the replayability of it. Multiple consequences depending on your actions. It looks more a puzzle game to me than anything ie you have to solve the "problem" of one scene before moving onto the next. I think the button mashing is just to give you some sort of action. It looks like a game screaming for a big screen and decent sound system for full immersion. I was quite surprised to see one of the writers wrote The Book of Eli.
