I'd assume they're the same in that regard, it's not a big graphics game.
I agree
I admit, I kind of hate it when people just assume that because a game runs smoothly on their own computer and others are experiencing problems, "something must be wrong with their computers". A completely normal, but different configuration can spark problems where others experience none, that was always the crux with PC gaming and always will be.
This game seems to be decently programmed and has very few bugs on some configurations to weed out. That doesn't mean that you won't experience any, but I'd say go for it.
I'm really enjoying the reborn of Telltale Games!
We'll see in the later episodes, usually they got more bugs that the firsts one.
But I'm optimistic!
They're a PC company first, actually. If they weren't a simaltaneous develop, then it's more likely that it was a port from PC to XBox, not the other way around.
Edit: I actually found this fact to be quite confusing. Why only the XBox control map no PC control map?
Steam version was smooth, but when the game was finally made available on the website, I downloaded that version and got a weird error from Avast anti-virus. It said it was a potentially unsafe program and was going to run it in sandbox mode. The game crashed to desktop the first time I ran it. I changed the settings and told Avast that everything was cool, and haven't had a problem since.
In other words, this is the polar opposite of the Jurassic Park PC release :-)
Out of morbid curiousity, I downloaded and played the demo of TWD Episode 1 on XBOX 360 as well. The game looks and plays identically, including the occasional jerky animation and flickering shadows that I noticed in the PC version. For all intents and purposes, the two versions of the game look and feel exactly the same.
In short as long as your PC meets/exceeds the requirements, a great experience can be had out of the first episode of TWD.
For reference, the specs for the PC I played the game on are as follows:
Alienware m11x R1
Intel Core2Duo SU7300 1.73Ghz
8GB DDR3 1066Mhz RAM
nvidia GeForce GT 335m 1GB
Seagate Momentus XT 500GB HD
Realtek Integrated Audio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Yes, you can play it in HD. I've done so for the past few games. Looks so much better. Just remember to adjust the screen res in the settings of the game.
That whole battery thing annoyed me though,so maybe the bug isnt so bad.The bug ?Well ,if you hand her ONE battery before you have picked up the second one,sometimes the second one becomes un-selectable,and hence you cant pick it up.
Its easily worked past though,just by going and talking to her again and going thru the whole radio inspection thing again.
Oddly, when you take a battery from a location,it can still be seen at said location.I guess thats another bug,but not really annoying.
though, the whole she doesnt" know what a battery is, or that a radio might require them" is far more annoying then the bug itself :P
whats your spec ? updated your graphics drivers?
is it on one hard drive with lots of data on it ?
Here're my specs:

What are these statistic bugs that you have at the end. I just curious
There is a bug in the stand-alone Telltale version (presumably the Steam version too, but there is apparently a "fix" there), that makes it crash on launch.
All I've managed to get out of Telltale is that it *may* be related to connecting to their servers. The game never starts, just crashes on launch.
It's been a month and no word on a resolution for those of us with this issue, who've paid up front for a whole season that will likely all be unplayable.
What I've seen of the game (on YouTube, etc.) looks great, but be warned if you're thinking of buying the PC version (since there's suspiciously no demo unlike almost every other Telltale game): you may be stuck with a game that you cannot play.
I have the steam version runs sweet no problems at all with episode 1
Well, in my first playthrough Hershell caught me lying to him and the stats said that I was honest with him (Ha!)
Another one in the same stats, in my first playthrough I sided with Kenny defending Duck from Larry and the stats said that I sided with Larry.
In-game, of course, there are no bugs. Kenny thanked Lee for the help with Larry. Hershell gave me a speech about being a better liar and that stuff..
Some people do, some don't. Telltale (and other users) seem to have no way to know why some are effected and some aren't. Disconnecting from the net "fixes" the Steam version crash for some people, but not everyone, and doesn't fix the Telltale store version for anyone.
Just something all potential buyers should be wary of, and I REALLY wish I'd been made aware of it before purchasing. The reason I wanted to mention it in this thread is that it's not a case of "not powerful enough computer" or some "known issue" or incompatibility, or a case of "crashes if you own X or Y video/sound card"... Telltale themselves have been tight-lipped and thus presumably dumbfounded as to the cause and fix of this issue.
The fact that disconnecting the net is in any way a fix suggest connecting to their server is at least part of the issue.
How did you answer his questions when you are talking to him in the barn.
I lied to him when talking on the porch but when in the barn I told him I got a ride out of Atlanta end stats said I was Honest with him.
when I replayed the scene I told him the truth when talking on the porch and it said he believed me but when talking in the barn I said that I walked out of Atlanta or something like that and the end stats said I lied to Him.
so it all seems to depend on how and which questions you answer.
During the argument with Larry I sided with him up until he said throw Duck out or take a shovel to his head then I picked answers trying not to side with either Larry Or Kenny/Duck and the stats said I Sided with Kenny. yet again it was all down to the answers I gave
