But i belive they said you can copy your savegame? Like making a backup? So you can rewind that one.
Still, if you only got three save slots, you can't do this forever.
True, I'm pretty sure that was allowed in their past games.
The answer (at least the way I understand it) is no. Rewinding is a destructive action. You're literally rewinding the game saved in Save Slot 1 back to that point. Anything you've done after that will cease to exist. This all happens in the same Save Slot.
Wow. So the save system is the puzzle part of the game?
No, seriously, it really sounds interesting and makes sense.
A "finish" save slot would cease to be a finished slot if you "rewind" it, correct?
Immediately, as in auto save, or do you still have to "save" manually when you're exploring other possible scenarios?
But you still need those "finish" saves to start the next episode from, don't you?
I would assume that when you, for example, start episode 2 with a finished save slot from ep. 1, but then choose to rewind this episode 1 slot, all the decisions that were carried over to episode 2 to start this second episode still stay intact?!?
We don't have an exact release date to announce yet, but the trailer and gameplay reveal on IGN next week is definitely happening. Greg Miller will be interviewing Gary Whitta on Up At Noon as well. They've seen the trailer and they're as excited to show it as we are. There's a bit more info here: http://games.ign.com/articles/122/1220730p1.html
Don't want to say too much about the trailer itself, but everybody is excited about it for a reason.
Teaser just hit. Not actual gameplay, obviously, but it's in-engine.
Actual trailer will be hitting on Monday.
Hmm. I'm reserving judgment for when I see actual gameplay, but the game definitely looks nice. For all the flaws Telltale's gone through lately, they've been getting better and better when it comes to graphics.
Also, did the zombies take Marietta? It'd make me very happy if they did. Personal reasons.

Wow, looks great. I really like that voice actress (although I imagine she won't be playing a very large part in the story). That last message was chilling.
I won't be able to play these episodes as they come out because I'll be working abroad for a couple of months, but I'm still very, very excited about this. I have a strong feeling this could turn into something very special.
I.... really.... need to... preorder...... please.
That is also coming soon!
Aw shoot! I caved and gave Double Fine $100! I was hoping I could wait a little longer before preorder. Though rest assure, I WILL preorder it. Mark my words.
Would their be a new version in walking dead where u can create your own story line and base the moves you make to the way you survive as a FPS game where you search fight and run to survive all in a open beta testing group along making it a online multiplayer RPG game including many of the situations that could be encountered?

Please do some research about what Telltale is before posting anything.
I don't think so.
The preorder is up and there's no mention of it. http://www.telltalegames.com/walkingdead/preorder-contest
(see "CONTEST FAQ")
I'd like to know if I'll be able to get a discount on a potential Deluxe Edition.
The JP Deluxe Edition is totally detached from the digital-delivery version, and that's BAD.
I saw this question asked earlier, but never saw a response. What are the PC system requirements? Am I just missing them, because I haven't seen them yet.
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but in the contest FAQs it says:
"The first episode of The Walking Dead will be available to download and play in late April."
Will they sale episodes by themselves? I'd rather buy 1 episode to see if I even like it. I was going to get it for PS3, but if you have to fork over the full amount, $19.99? I might have to pass.
Seriously though, we should be able to buy an episode by itself. I see you can by some Sam & Max ones by themselves, but they are like $8.99! That's almost $50 for all 5.
Having seen the leaked footage and read / seen some interviews I'm still not sure of a few things:
1) Is there an inventory system?
2) Are there inventory puzzles?
3) Are there dialogue puzzles
4) Are there environmental puzzles?
3) I've heard there are "problems" are these simply moral decisions that whilst require thought, not problem solving skills?
There aren't a lot of brain-rending puzzles in Walking Dead. There is a light inventory and you use objects you find in other places. There is more to look at and do than is necessary to streamline you through the story, but the game is by no means '90s adventure game level of brain stomping.
It's a lot closer to an adventure than that. It's tonally very very different than something like Sam & Max, but the game is very much about exploring the spaces you're in, talking to the people around you, and figuring out what to do, like you do in a classic Telltale game. Big differences: Sometimes there are also zombies around, ruining everything, and you have to kill them or otherwise deal with their existence, and the tone of the game is a lot more about drama, and tension -- the situations in which you're talking to people, exploring places, and fituring out what to do trend towards the tense, scary, and bleak more than the wacky.
I wish I had the final line count for the first Walking Dead episode, but (weirdly much like Poker Night) I think we're well above average lines of dialog for a Telltale game, not because the runtime is longer (Walking Dead episodes are intended to be played in just a sitting or two, like our other games or like a TV episode), but because your opportunity to explore the dialog and situations have more paths and detail than the average Telltale title.

True, I'm pretty sure that was allowed in their past games.
So..... 6-8 weeks away (at least for PSN & XBLA), and still no actual in game footage / trailer / teaser; no pre-order information etc.?
Also - should I be concerned on the lack of a PC mention in there?
It's coming to PC, not to worry
Nice!

It's getting confusing.
Sweet rite in time for my birthday will it be coming out later for places out side of America/
Six weeks at the earliest.
But I'd assume that we'll hear the PC/Mac "pre-orders are go" message pretty soon.

No, no, you really need to play the game. As everybody.
I REALLY need to get TWD game deluxe edition.
Siempre es un placer encontrar a otro compatriota por aqui.
That is also coming soon!
But we want to give you money now!!!
Teaser just hit. Not actual gameplay, obviously, but it's in-engine.
Actual trailer will be hitting on Monday.
That's in-engine?!?
This is going to be fantastic.
Dang that looks great. Can't wait for the trailer, and I presume preordering, on Monday.
I know where Clem is... I'm smart..

Clearly a troll.... or an idiot.
My question now
When will the walking dead preorder threads show?
Will there be a DVD for this game?
I would ask "Will be there a deluxe edition for this game?"
I'm sure there will be DVD for this game.
No announcement yet, just making sure.
I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure the PC versions of all of Telltale's games are region-free.
Seriously though, we should be able to buy an episode by itself. I see you can by some Sam & Max ones by themselves, but they are like $8.99! That's almost $50 for all 5.
Telltale's DRM is simply logging in... once, and then you can play offline to your hearts content.
1) Is there an inventory system?
2) Are there inventory puzzles?
3) Are there dialogue puzzles
4) Are there environmental puzzles?
3) I've heard there are "problems" are these simply moral decisions that whilst require thought, not problem solving skills?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
We've had a lot of answers in the meantime, I'll try and dig some of them out for you.
I'm thinking about preordering "The Walking Dead", but first I have several questions:
1. Will I get a Steamkey to redeem the game on Steam?
2. Will the game include german language?
3. How much would cost the shipping to germany? (the preorder page doesn't give me the shipping price.)
Thank you
