    It's nice to see Telltale actually putting money into Advertising. I can't help but grin when a video for TFS shows up YouTube. Now only if they could actually do this with ALL their games

  • Same. Honestly, I get a lot more Spanish and alcohol ads then I get gaming ones. YouTube needs to get their shit together lol

  • I wonder what will the outcome will be ;)

    I predict it will the same rating as the Australian Classification rating for ep 2. But I guess we will find out how they rate the Moderate Sex impact in EP 2.

    Just decided to watch some footage of the French dub (among other languages) of the final season.

    What's interesting: the mouths match the words. That's some cool detail.
    If someone put those animations together manually, awesome and kudos to that person.
    If Telltale developed some program to read the syllables or word structure of the script, and then place preset "syllable" animations together for dialogue, that's equally awesome and congrats to Telltale for developing that simplifying tech.

    Whatever the case, the dialogue and mouth animation seem surprisingly accurate.

  • Yeah, it suprised me as well. I saw it in German. I think they kinda tested it with Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2, which was also dubbed and due to the simplistic facial animation, they seem to have tested it there for the first time.

    Now that its working on more complex facial animations, i hope it becomes the new standard for Telltale going forward.

    I’ve been through waits like this but for some reason episode two feels like centuries away

  • I know right? I felt that Above The Law (ANF Ep. 3) came really fast when in reality it took 3 months.

    If the date did change due to any internal delays they would announce it in advance.

    HOW TO WATCH OR PLAY EPISODE 2 QUICKLY WITHOUT WAITING FOR 4 WEEKS!

    4 weeks to go? Long wait, eh? No problem!

    Well, according to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, for an observer in an inertial frame of reference, a clock that is moving relative to him will be measured to tick slower than a clock that is at rest in his frame of reference.
    This phenomenon is known as time dilation.

    So, someone just needs to make a REALLY fast spacecraft, that can travel close to the speed of light. Then go with it to space, at such exact speed that, after you complete your trip that could last only for like 1 minute, 4 weeks will have passed already on Earth, and so you'll be able to go and play/watch episode 2 in just a minute!
    In this formula:

    t' is 4 weeks passing on earth, t is our 1 minute trip, c is speed of light, and v is the required speed. Plugging t', t and c in the equation, and solving for v, gives required speed: 299,792,457.9 m/s. This is only 0.1 m/s slower than the speed of light itself, so getting something that fast would be difficult, but if you want to be able to watch or play episode 2 maybe in an hour, or maybe a day or a full week(instead of 4 weeks), then you won't have to get to such fast speed(still pretty fast tho). So, the faster speed you achieve, the less time will you have to wait for next episode.

    CHECKMATE TELLTALE

    If Telltale developed some program to read the syllables or word structure of the script, and then place preset "syllable" animations together for dialogue, that's equally awesome and congrats to Telltale for developing that simplifying tech.

    I'm not 100% sure on this, but I actually think that this is how the process works as it is. From what I can tell, Telltale uses a phoneme system for lip syncing; to put it as simply as possible, these are animations that line up with the sounds for certain words/letters, as if the character were mouthing it out. They're like a template, and you stitch them together to make the character appear to mouth out whatever the dialogue is. In a foreign language, you just simply move the phoneme files around to match up with the sounds/phonetics of the words spoken in that particular language/dialect/etc, and boom, you have localized lip sync.

    I know Valve (when they still made games) did the same thing for their games; use of phonemes to make life-like lip syncing in a fast and efficient manner, as well as being easily applied to foreign languages for quick localization.

    I'd like to say a fair amount of developers already do this, since it's for the most part quick, and tends to look decent on its own (although you definitely need to do some touch-ups by hand to fully iron out the kinks)

  • Oof. Way to burn a franchise. Some kind of spin-off story with the main goal of introducing new players to the franchise with awful writing, lots of rewriting in an ultimately disjointed package.

    Wonder where i heard that one before...
