The great next episode prediction thread! *SPOILERS*

edited August 2012 in The Walking Dead
The Ep 2 preview gave a little away so we all know there will be some editions to our group, but what else will happen? Here's what I think....

First, we will have to get power restored in the motel, if it is even possible. Not often a motel will have a generator handy. We may have to try to find one, or barricade ourselves in at night.

I think the next one to die will be Carley/Doug. More a gut suspicion than anything. I don't think we will get a choice on that either. It'll just happen. Probably happen during a food hunt.

Apparently, Lilly gets pissed at Lee. I couldn't hear what she said in the preview, but my guess is her father gets killed and Lee may have had to choose between him and someone important like Kenny. (HOORAY!!! He DESERVES it, damnit!)

Duck or Katjaa will get killed too (please let it be the annoying Duck!). Kenny will have a rough time with it but what is an apocalyptic story without angst? Plenty of it to go around if you read the comics.

By the end I think we will be on our way somewhere new. I don't think the motel will last very long at all for shelter.


Let's here what the rest of you think!

Mod edit: Episode 3 predictions begin on page 9.

    One thing that I noticed. Episode 1 seems to take place in the Spring (the answering machine mentions that the babysitter is about to go on Spring Break, and Carly is in town to cover a cherry blossom festival) but in the preview for Episode 2, everyone is shown wearing long sleeve shirts and jackets, indicating that the weather has gotten cooler. They must spend a long time at that motel.

    I think Lily being pissed at Lee might be more of conversation. Perhaps Larry gets into another fight and Lily fails to intervene before Kenny just lays into him and he gets seriously wounded. I just know at some point Larry will have a heart attack or die in some non-zombie related way so that the true infected reveal happens(the one that only recently happened on the TV show).

    I think Glenn will show back up at the motel to tell people about the camp he has. I'm sure he counts you among his friends. If you are at Andrew's farm, you may also visit Hershel's farm again as they are nearby.

    If you save Doug, he fixes Clem's walkie talkie and you're able to use it again.

    I feel like Telltale is afraid to kill kids. I couldn't let Duck or Clem die no matter how hard I tried. Kids have to die in this series! They even died on the show! Don't chicken out now! I want to feed Duck to the undead ASAP. He is only a danger to the group. At least Clem is useful...

    The motel will remain safe but everyone will be starving. You arrive on Andrew's farm somehow or another for food and it seems like you stay there. Maybe some stay at the motel?

    I think this is mostly it.

    altho im not sure about glen as if it was me writing the game's story i would stay away from the character of Tv series for at least this first season to avoid spoilers for the next tv season,plotholes stuff like that.

    Some fans could get angry or something if that happened.

    I don't think the tv show has much bearing on the game, though it may have some. They are using the comic as canon, not the show. (this was stated in the Playing Dead videos)

    oh thanks yea didn't remebered that the show wasn't following the comics.

    Well Glenn is just that kind of guy, checking on everyone. Especially if there are a few girls around(though he pretends that this isn't his motivation.) The events in the game will take place between the start of Lee's story now and their finding Woodbury(i'm guessing). Lily eventually ends up there and I don't forsee her leaving for at least a couple of episodes. The group knows that big cities aren't safe already.

    Also...is the "Mysterious Figure" Michonne?

    Ooohhh!! Good possibility! I can't remember, does she use a bow or only that sword of hers?

    Do you mean the Mysterious Figure at the very beginning of EP1?

    It was Clementine, or at least her character model. Was fairly easy to make out at 1600x1200 resolution and highish gamma.

    Oh that one? I thought perhaps there was one in the Ep 2 preview I had not seen. Yeah, that one is Clem without a doubt.

    Err, could you post a screenshot somehow? Because I don't think Clementine could climb such a high fence.

    Edit: Rechecked and you're right. I had to run it under pretty bad specs due to Steam/my computer.

    It was her, honest. I am thinking she had a rope, went through a gate, or kid secret fence opening that Lee, hobbling as fast as he could away from killer zombies, did not have time to search for.

    Edit: But I'll see if I can get a screenie for you :)

    It definitely does look at her but why would she be out in the woods? She's already shown that she got pretty zombie-savvy in the few days she holed up in her tree house, why would she go walking in a forest full of them by herself? Maybe they just used her model as a placeholder because whoever it's really supposed to be isn't complete yet. Or maybe it's really her and we'll find out why she was there later. Hmm...
  • edited April 2012
    if episode 1 is any indication, its going to be fairly linear also. i certainly hope they step the choice options up, or a least match them somewhat to their grandiose boasts.

    Nah. I think the reason is simple enough for her to be there. She was in her tree house, heard the car crash, and came out to investigate. She doesn't come very close, and runs away back to her place when you call to her.

    i hope it sticks with the comics, though i havent read them. its still better than the shows hilarious lack of character growth continuity. one can hope

    Not a problem there. They have already stated in the "Playing Dead" video series about the game, that they treat the comics as canon, not the tv show.

    I love this thread. Keep on speculating! :D

    My Thoughts on whats going down...

    Theyre gonna be at the motel long enough to realize that they need to start finding food and long term shelter and not wait for the military to come any time soon. (thus new swag theyre wearing and colder gear)

    Also expect deeper connection between lee and lily/ lee and the kenny family... seems like shes gonna be the catalyst between larry and lee for the conflict thats brewing... Plus she did seem pretty ... appreciative of him if you talked to her neutrally or larry supportive

    I expect more survivors introduced as well, as well as prolly more deaths of "insignificant" characters (prolly fresh new guys for ep 2) .. starting to see the influx of tribalism mentality ( respect my turf or your dead kinda scenarios) with the old survivors and new ones and which ones you side with.

    I would also expect you to grow closer to the person you pulled out of the pharmacy... you did save their bacon.

    Nah. Linear for the first episode was a safety choice. To make a comparison, when you first start doing Dungeons and Dragons games, you often run with a premade adventure just to get a feel of the game. I'm sure your choices will have an impact on scenery and the feel of the game in later episodes. I would also like to point out that there are multiple writers and that Episode 4 will be written by a sadist so it promises to be the best if none of the rest stand out.

    Feel free to take that as a challenge TT.

    As you said. In addition, I think the choices we have made thus far have yet to really have a chance to affect anything. I am sure we will see a lot more repercussions in future episodes.

    I'm jumping ahead a hell of a lot but I know in episode 5 you return to Clem's house, one of the trophies on the ps3 is called 'The Marsh House' and if I remember that is her surname. ...Maybe we hear from her parents but something happens, I can't see it being a happy ending for them.
  • edited April 2012
    my guess is that in the next episode someone in the group gets bit and you have to put them out of their misery. I'm thinks its gonna be either Larry or Katjaa, depending on who you side with in the Kenny Vs Larry argument

    What makes you think that? The "Next time on..." preview with Lee and the axe? Because I have an idea about that... but I'm really hoping I'm wrong and the writers are a bit more original than to use a situation that was directly from the comic.
  • edited April 2012
    this thread is kind of pointless since the preview after you finish episode 1 tells you pretty much what's going to happen.

    Nah. Not even. It gives minor hints. You really think they would give away a bunch of stuff in the preview like that? I certainly don't.

    maybe one of them doesn't get bitten, but i played the game twice. once siding with Kenny and another siding with Larry. when i sided with Kenny the preview showed lily yelling at me in a blue room about how i didn't side with her dad. in the one that i sided with Larry it showed Kenny talking to me in the same room about how i thought we should kill duck and that this somebody isnt gonna make it. now that i think about it i actually think Larry is gonna die. yup Larry
  • edited April 2012
    I'm not sure if someone has said this yet but to me it seems obvious that if you saved Duck during the episode 2 preview Katjaa very clearly comes onto Lee and wants to 'reward' him for saving her son. To me this can only be one thing.
  • edited April 2012
    The axe scene sounded to me like our first amputation in the videogame. He keeps screaming after it comes down, no? Either way amputation isn't new for the TWD comics. ;)

    See? That's what I thought of too and that's what I really hope they do NOT do. To take something directly from the comic like that shows unoriginality to me. But, I guess it can be rationalized. It could be something someone might think of in that situation. *shrug*

    Tainted meat!!!!

    Just wanted to say that lol

    I'm wondering if we'll run into the Governor(Rise was great btw) or other areas from the comics. The possibilities are thrilling...

    At some point tho, due to comic canon... pretty much everyone will either move on or get killed. I wonder if by ep 4 or 5 if we move on to different states or something. Can't wait

    So far throughout we have never left Georgia. There was a group that came from Washington but they don't happen upon a group until Georgia. Lily ends up at Woodbury along with presumably any side characters you save(can't just kill them all off, poor writing.) Glenn goes to Rick but may not have necessarily gone just yet. In future episodes we will probably run into more characters from the comics. Tyreese was on his own at first wasn't he?

    I really hope this game extends into Woodbury. I want to see the Governor. We could maybe see it at a stage prior to his arrival as well and that would also be pretty awesome.

    You remember the shooting we heard at the end of the game? This is the walking dead, soon way that is the army or police coming to the rescue. Uh, uh. They're crazy bandits coming to kill you and take your shelter. They're probably let by a psychotic mad man with violent tendencies, just to keep things interesting. Woodsbury group.

    yea probably the shane/lori thing happened during the first chapter but from the scenes we saw from the second chapter it looks like it doesn't happens right away were the 1st one ended, but i don't think lee's group will meet shane since glenn is about to meet rick (And well shane dies a few days later after rick joins) i could be wrong tho.
  • edited April 2012
    The lights all turning off at the end freaked me out, then clementine running towards the group made it more scarier like something horrible and dramatic is going to happen.

    I think that they will find "light" somehow, maybe flashlights or like see if there's a power generator somewhere. I don't know lol.

    Then, when it hits sunset they will of course use problem solving and see if they can get out of that motel i'm sure it's not thier option to continue to stay there with walkers all in the forest near them.

    It sucks to know that they have no food or supplies much to last them, it looks like they actually stayed the LONG enough for it to hit winter? (it looked like it was winter/fall judging by the clips at the end)

    The part where the guys come in and introduce themselves, i believe those people are the bandits that they show later in the clips, and these people tried to take everything that Lee and the group has. It's an all out war in the 2nd episode IMO.

    Losses, i think Kenny's wife is next in line to get killed or Doug/Carley if Doug/Carley if either was chosen for you guys. Then duck.. I think Kenny will survive, he seems like a strong guy in the group.

    About Glenn, i believe it will be linked to what happened on the Comics/TV show and he will find his friends in Atlanta and then find shelter in a farm (where ever they are at the end of the clips, the farm that they end up in) (probably Hershel's who knows)

    That's all i predict. I'm not about spoilers here.. this is all in what i think will happen.

    Keep in mind, Shane dies well into the Winter in the comics, while the second episode of the game looks to be taking place in the Fall. He's still out there somewhere, but I doubt we'll see him. Seems like Telltale wants to stay away from the major characters.

    I think that is almost of a certainty they wish to steer clear of majors. As is seen with Glenn/Lilly/Hershel and knowing the game is using the comic as canon, there is too much known about them. It loses interest for some because of prior information. Better to stay away from them and only use them as more cameo type appearances. Then people are more likely to think, "Hey, cool! I know that guy! So, that is what happened to him before. Interesting." You know what I mean?
