Kmlkmljkl Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 All episodes are released and ready for purchasing! http://store.steampo...com/app/207610/ The Walking Dead is a five-part game series set in the same universe as Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series. Play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal, who has been given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell. A continuing story of adventure horror spanning across 5 episodes: Episode 1 – A New Day - Available Now! Episode 2 – Starved for Help Episode 3 – Long Road Ahead Episode 4 – Around Every Corner Episode 5 – No Time Left FAQ: Q: Is this a game about Rick Grimes, the hero of the comic books and TV show? A: No. Robert Kirkman (creator of The Walking Dead) and Telltale felt that it would be more interesting to tell a story of a new group of survivors. Q: When does this game take place in The Walking Dead timeline? A: Our first episode takes place at the outset of the zombie apocalypse when Rick Grimes is still in a coma. Q: Is this game based on the comic books or the TV show? A: We see the comic books as canon. Q: So who do I play as? A: You play the game as Lee Everett, a man convicted of a crime, but who is offered a chance at redemption…albeit in a world overtaken by walkers. You’ll only ever play as Lee and will see the world from his point of view. Q: Will I see anything from the comic books or TV show in the game? A: Yes. You will meet some characters and visit locations seen in the comic books. You’ll learn about characters and events that have an impact on events seen in the comics. For example, how did Hershel’s son Shawn end up in the barn? Find out in the game. Q: Does this game use Quick Time Events as the major game-play dynamic and does it prevent the player from taking direct control of the player-character like Telltale’s Jurassic Park: The Game? A: No. The Walking Dead offers a completely different game-play experience to Jurassic Park. QTEs do not form a major part of game-play and you will have full control over your character as you move through the game’s environments. Q: Why is this game episodic? What does that mean? A: Telltale has a strong history of releasing episodic games but more importantly, we wanted this game to offer an experience analogous to the comic books and TV show, which are also episodic in nature. We have plans for 5 episodes, releasing once per month. Q: How long is each episode? A: Skilled players will get through an episode on about 2 hours. Having episodes of this length means that most people will be able to get through them and we want that to happen. The game is not designed to present super-hard barriers and will not force you to grind through it in any way. We want you to complete an episode so that you’ll experience the story and be ready for the next episode. Q: Where will I be able to buy the game? A: The game series is digital, meaning that you won’t be able to buy it from a retail store. The game is coming to all major gaming platforms, so, as long as you have an internet connection, it’s almost certain that you’ll have access to the game. Q: When will episode one of the game be available? A: We’re saying ‘Spring’, however, episode one is right around the corner. This thing is coming fast! Q: What kind of game is this? A: It’s an Adventure Horror game. This game will offer a different experience compared to many other zombie-based games. You won’t be mowing down hordes of the undead as a super-powered killing machine with unlimited ammo; that would not be an accurate recreation of Robert Kirkman’s world. When you do tangle with the undead, it’s going to be harrowing. That walker could be someone you once knew…or were very close to. Also, gunfire (or loud noises in general) are not good in areas where walkers could be lurking. Q: Does this game feature multiplayer? A: No. The Walking Dead is a single-player experience. [believe me, it isn't nescessary!] Q: Why does the game look the way it does? A: We were inspired by the work of Charlie Adlard, artist for the comic books. Q: Telltale’s previous games have featured puzzle elements. Is that something we’ll see in The Walking Dead? A: You’ll be challenged with problems for sure, but not classic ‘Adventure Game’ puzzles. You’re a survivor in a zombie apocalypse…you can imagine the problems that you’ll have to deal with. This really is an amazing game. You should try it out, even if you don't like Point&Click games!
