New poll by community request! No prizes on this one for getting it right, except of course everlasting glory and the undying adulation of fellow forum members.

If for some reason you're looking for the dead thread, it's over here (closed to new posts).

divisionten edit: My prize for a comission still stands. One random person who guesses the correct date (as decided by a RNG) will receive a comission of their choice as described in the earlier poll. I have to pick randomly this time because Puzzlebox beat me to poll making. So get guessińg!

WINNERS: By a random D10 die roll (disregarding numbers 8-9-0 for the first and 0 for the second) we have our winners!

The_Ripper and trueblue43 will receive a commission for correctly guessing the date!

    All right, custom commission by me to be given to someone who guessed right (not "the first" this time). TWD game related stuff (not the comics or TV show!), single character preferred, gore quite possible, but not too perverted please. No beheaded Clementine and stuff. :D

    If you go to the ign website site it has the e3 schedule and it says the walking dead episode 2 is going to be shown 3:20 on june 6 so i'm guessing around june 7-10. Im guessing they are busy with preparing the game AND preparing for e3 so thats why they're a couple of weeks late so i don't really blame them. At the very least we will know the release date at e3.

    Mods,

    Was it such a good idea to close the other thread? You could have left all of the angry people there complaining about the release date and started a whole new positive thing here. Now everyone will be moving along to argue with each other at a whole new thread. Just my opinion.....

    The bigger issue is that the release date is June. That old poll confused newbies. Now that we have this one, it's neat and right on the top of the WD forum.

    I just want to thank all the fine folks at Telltale Games for all the dedication and hard work. I am very much looking forward to episode 2. Episode 1 was stupendous. I enjoyed it immensely. Keep up the good work and I will continue to purchase your entrancing products. I don't know if you guys read this thread, but if you do, I want you to know your hard work is appreciated. Maybe we will see a Thief of Thieves game in the future. I can't wait to see the TV show.

    I'm optimistic about this. 27th June Wednesday, 1 month of delay.

    I'm still thinking that Telltale would have to notify us about this delay and don't keeping in silence.

    The delays are normal at developing videogames but companies tell to their customers about the delay. "We are having technical issues/new ideas to develop in this episode/whatever and we don't have an estimated release date but it will be some day on June". Wow, it's piece of cake.

    Repeat, I don't mind wait more for a videogame but the Telltale's manners managing this have not been the best, I think.

    Well, keep guessing, guys. :)

    At E3? booop. I was hoping that we wouldnt need to tune in for E3 for an announcement on a release date.
  • SrslyYo?SrslyYo?
    edited June 2012
    I'm really hoping that they will release the game the week after E3, if they are going to show Ep 2 there. Perhaps since the original release date was so close to E3, they may have decided to wait. Work on some bugs and get the hype up even more, then surprise us all the next week. Hopefully that is why they are being so quiet and it isn't really just bad customer service.

    I know they will release the games and not just take my money. I guess my worry is more to the, if this game was released late. Will the other 3 be as well? Perhaps, since they have gotten just bad backlash of this one. They already have people working on the next one, so it will release more on time.

    Edit: I couldn't help but laugh at how many votes ' When hell freezes over' got. I have complained and I fully support those who are worried. But, I don't think a meltdown of ' it's NEVER gonna be released.' is anything more than an exaggeration.

    i bought this game a few weeks ago. I actually broke out into laughter when i found out that you developers broke the game into 5 pieces so you could release 1/5 of a game at half the price of normal big name titles. Unfortunately although the game is fun, the companies and dev's involved are not "big name" and therefore the game even in its entirety... lets face it, is going to be a half price game regardless if u had waited 6 monthes and released the whole game. there are a ton of reasons i can think of why you would release a game like this and none of them are respectful to the consumer or reputable buisness moves. I followed the forums after i paid for the game only to discover i just bought the shortest game in history, and i read your last polling question. I along with ALL the others was hoping and expecting you to release it NO later than the last date on the poll... what a joke that you just extended it.. how much do u expect us fans to deal with? your pushing it...enough horsing around, the game sold 1 million++ copies, at $25 USD thats atleast .... what 10-12 million in profit for the real devs... so instead of hiring more people and rushing to now finish the game and fix your original cheap-o solution by releasing a 1/5 of it, your what... sitting on a beach somewhere? lol. Heres a tip from the American and world gaming publing... to ALL game dev's.. just like diablo III and a long ass list of other shit games that have come out after being rushed with little to no regard of worry for lack of investment of time and energy because if u put a good trailer on TV... people will buy the game and make you rich. where you go from here is up to you. finish this game and do it right, and in a timely fashion, (isnt my fault you have to rush and produce quality, thats your fault for piss poor planning) or your gonna loose all the fans as they drop off like flies over the next few weeks waiting for a release. ive already lost interest and i will because i PAID for this shitty game, check back in a month or 2 for hopefully a few more being released. if not ill delete your game and never buy another product associated with anyone or any entity involved. I feel this is fair and undeniable so there is no need for a rebuttle... just fix it. good luck and good day

    I wouldn't count on it. There was 2 months between BTTF 1&2, yet the rest of the episodes were released monthly. It was the same for Sam and Max too. Now this may be because the release of episode 2 cooincided with christmas time, but I am optimistic, that the rest of the episodes will be monthly, as per usual.

    It seems you fail at reading comprehension. Why are you so surprised? You knew what you were paying for. It clearly stated that you were prepaying for all the episodes on a monthly basis (okay there's a delay but s*** happens). Telltale are known for episodic gaming. That's how they have always done things. If they rushed the game out before it's ready, I bet you would be the first to complain that it is either buggy or unfinished.

    Woot, another forum! Lol ... I said my piece in the other forum. No point in repeating myself or complain like some people are doing. I'm just going to sit back and relax and play some fallout:NV (even though its being SOOO damn glitchy)
    I'm glad the flamers and trolls havent immediately flocked here. It's peaceful ... for now.

    As for a date ... I'll guess June 12. It's my birthday.

    An art commision? Hmmm, you know what'd be cool? All the characters from Ep.1 on a movie style poster all cool n' stuff. xD

    ... a little like this lol

    Um, Diablo 3 took like 11 years after the Diablo 2 expansion. They spent time on that game. A long time. They just underestimated how many people were going to actually buy the game. Therefore their servers couldn't handle the number of people that logged on all at once. Besides that, there weren't any real problems with the game. TWD isn't really the same since they are releasing "supposedly" monthly. Your examples don't really make sense me to.

    To maybe correct you on something...i don't believe that 11yrs ago they had planned for a diablo 3. What i mean is that first off they had other games to develop like warcraft 3(both expansions) and then again others like world of warcraft and maybe starcraft(if it wasn't yet in existence.) Secondly i don't think they had any new ideas yet to how they would want diablo 3 to be/seem like ;)

    Would you just calm it down a little bro ? I know you're frustrated and I don't blame you. On the other hand I don't blame the developers as maybe they're onto a surprise that is in releasing both episode 2 and 3 simultaneously so all the fans won't have to wait that long for episode 4. Don't forget that what they are doing isn't just a simple mathematical sum like 1+1 or as such, but the thing they are doing is that they're combining EVERY ONE'S DECISIONS AND CHOICES to be adjusted to your progress through episode 2. It's not that easy you know. You're not a developer and neither am I so we can't understand and underestimate what they're going through. Imagine trying to combine every single story and decisions/choices for like millions of TWD players

    Thanks ;)

    PS: I know they should notify us about the release date and I totally agree, but on the other hand maybe they want to surprise us in a way

    Still a guessing game eh? Strange. Imagine the pressure of being a TT developer: Management commits to release date of 5 episodes based off the hottest show out when one episode is in a stable build. Management always loves to do this kind of thing, they stink.

    At the very least it is a strange way to release games because you tend to lose the flow of what is happening after not playing the game for so long. It happens to me in most TT games, but I still like them.

    i know, right? It's kind of sad that being disappointed has been misconstrued as "trolling". Don't get me wrong...it is pretty annoying seeing the same comments over and over, but it's even more unfortunate someone from TT hasn't cleared the air at all.

    We very rarely delete threads. You will find that the one-post-wonders making new threads about release dates just get merged into the existing discussion.
