    If it doesn't come out this week I think I might just go insane. Oh well, at the very least Telltale will be able to use E3 as an effective marketing tool and sell another million episodes while the die-hard fans that've been here still have to wait for our episodes.

    Edit: Which will hopefully lead them to seeing a second season as profitable if they don't already.

    No. Unfinished games are "shown" all the time at E3. In fact, that's a bit what E3 is all about. :D

    I just hope we don't get a host of ep2 spoilers with the E3 presentation... :(

    Oh okay, thanks for the reply :)

    So who wants to recap E3 when it's done? because i'm not going to watch it not out of any hate or spite for anyone including bioware but just because it would be more effort to watch it then to have someone later say
    {the following is hypothetical and not based on any true information]
    Assassins Creed 3 preview Lucy in trailer
    RE6 Trailer More sherry birkin
    Portal 3 Trailer
    Half Life Episode 3 Trailer

    i feel 'flash-900' should be banned because as vaino has hinted at all his posts are complaints with some abuse thrown out at ttg and some members and he/she/it posts once a day..which ain't to bad but in the time between we have a civil calm atmosphere but as soon flash posts it all comes crashing down and we start with the same old crap again....

    i'll be doing a quick scan of e3 stuff for pc and xbox each day so i can clarify stuff ;)

    Or you could not play it for a few months and play all episodes at the same time. But we both know that no ones going to do that. Again dont get me wrong im not trying to get you mad or anything but i think people are right about complaining not because of the delay but because of the lack of info :)

    Well not playing for a few months would be too much then :P Maybe like I said would work for others and yet again maybe not, who knows. Well things may turn out a bit differently as episode 2 comes out. This is because people would play it for like 5-9 times now(considering the many options there would be) as some feature's from episode 1 will affect the feature's for episode 2, so they would just play it from the beginning to try other options conjugated throughout the whole game play. This would keep them busy a bit ;)

    I never said they shouldn't complain. In a way I agree with them, but you have to consider that in game-making, developers may encounter minor or major problems throughout the whole process. For the bit about the info I totally agree with you as they should give out some info. Although I agree I don't really care about not having info regularly as I wait day by day patiently for the release of the game without making any fuss about it and just spend some time on the forum :)

    i suspect some other facts. they have invested founds on building ep1. Now they need some more money to built and release ep2. Its a matter of economy that the game is delayed. Promoting it on e3 makes them get more players, more money. I suspect that they havent had all founds in order to built up all episodes, to finace the whole crew over 6 month and now theyre looking how to get the missing bunches of money....

    I HOPE YOU ENJOY SEEING US WAIT AND BLEED!

    I've felt the hate rise up in me
    kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see
    Inside my shell I wait and bleed


    I've felt the hate rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see
    Inside my shell I wait and bleed

    Goodbye

    I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time
    Everything is 3-D blasphemy
    My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
    This is not the way I pictured me
    I can't control my shakes

    How the hell did I get here?
    Something about this, so very wrong
    I have to laugh out loud,
    I wish I didn't like this
    Is it a dream or a memory?

    *=Wait and Bleed by Slipknot, the have known you guys....

    So you go ahead by singling him out? you may have just added more fuel to the fire my friend. the mod left it ambiguous for a reason...

    You gotta put this into perspective too. A lot of people are upset about lack of information that they are being given. I am one of these people. I think rather than all fighting over who is mature on this message board and who has the best manners we should collectively be asking the same question, "what's the hold up?"

    I think you have to look at all these negative comments in another light too. TT should be ecstatic that they have such an immediate fan base just solely using TWD name. All this "complaining" shows me that there are a lot of very excited people about the next installment of the game.

    Whether or not you agree with me that us customers have the right to know what's going on it's still the opinion held by many people coming to this board. Rather than letting the community members fight amongst themselves, I feel like TT should step in and start giving some more definite information.

  • edited June 2012
    I say June 8th for the simple fact that I will be on the road. :(
    Just like everyone else, I'm waiting.
    I can't believe there is not a simple answer to everyone's questions.
    If there is going to be a continuous of these type of games, I highly suggest that you perform highly in your bussiness ethics.
    Maybe, just maybe..... It would've been better for you all to create a full game, then release it on a monthly basis. Not create as you go. Because, paid customers would want their money's worth. It's frustrating because just like many others. I paid in full for something that is unfinished, and ignored repeatedly. I'm a impatient person as it is. And I can't believe I bought into this.
    On that note.... All I have left to say talk is cheap. Well in your case, we all know you have no words. :eek:

    What would be the point of releasing a fully completed game on a monthly bases if it's already completed ? If it's finished might as well release all of it out, but remember that Telltale is an episodic company.

    Please note that it was specified that you were buying an episodic game so you had a choice beforehand before considering in buying it.

    The fact is flash DOESN'T CHANGE but lots of other newbies do and they add to the forums they help out and they are calm he doesn't he just does the same thing..

    i have no problem with other users complaining when it's done with some degree of calm and respect for ttg and other users.. and using common sense..i am ALSO a customer and want ep2 in a timely fashion but since i am a ttg 'fanboi' since bttf ep 1 was released i have an idea what to expect from them. 2 month gap, delays and little to no info till they are SURE..

    I dig, but like a lot of people they are new to TT. This is my firs time playing an episodic game so I was a little unsure what to expect. I think the major point, which has been stated, is how long people are waiting for the amount of game play. Don't get me wrong. I hope they take care of this game. I have become obsessed with TWD so I would be really upset if were put something together poorly.

    I guess I just feel like they have me by the balls. They made a really great first episode and it just left me wanting so much more...so no matter what I will get the second episode.
  • edited June 2012
    What's really sad about that list is how many sequels and reboots there are on it. The gaming industry, much like Hollywood, is creatively bankrupt. Even TWD is ~another~ zombie game - of course, it has been done right and is awesome, so we'll excuse it - but nearly everything on that list is a sequel of some sort.

    Most companies are terrified of spending millions on something untested, so they go with tried and true. After a while, though, tried and true just becomes boring.

    The only things that seem interesting to me, besides TWD, are SimCity (I'm an addict) and The Last of Us - another zombie-ish game.

    The rest? Meh.

    Funny not long after gears 3 and portal 2 came out i realised the exact same thing.. was really glad twd is out.

    most of the 'sequels' are rushed case in point SAINTS ROW THE TURD..(not a typo) that game proves you point and mine about lazy game studio's the game was imo a copy and paste job of sr2 with a spit and polish and in the process some of the substance got lost... sr2 was good for 60+ hours of gameplay sr3 ? 35 ish of fun but after that it's the same old with a near invinceable character.

    But on the flip side i am really looking forward to another bttf game from ttg and the rest of twd..

    but on the other games borderlands 2, crysis 3, gears of war judgement, possibly hitman absolution, halo 4 and the new tomb raider, maybe some others but they long time away..

    Okay just to clarify a few things, I'm not sure about XBox360 or Mac/PC, but PSN only updates on Tuesdays, so I'm guessing due to that they're waiting for the closest Tuesday to their E3 presentation to release the episode. Now that could either mean tomorrow or next week, but regardless it's within a weeks time span.

    Also I laugh at all those which say "It's been two months!" or whatever, after this Tuesday it'll only have been six weeks in total, if you truly want to see the two month time span then wait another three to four weeks. A month is typically around five weeks long, waiting an extra week doesn't make the time waited for about two months long.

    "As we prepare for the second episode of our game based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead and lead into E3 (just two weeks away), we've unleashed a brand-spankin' new episode of Playing Dead for you to feast upon!"

    So I take it it comes out tomorrow the 5th being this statement was posted on the 22nd?

    Do my eye's deceive me ? we have yet another calm polite newbie ? praise the lord !! WELCOME !!!!!!!

    xbox updates i'm not sure are possibly on either a wednesday (usually for server maintenance) thursday/friday ? i think ep1 was released a day or two after the pc and ps3.

    Now the important question how do you feel about Clementine ? ;)

    the two weeks refers to e3..... NOT EP2.

    EP 2 release will be announced VERY CLEARLY on the forums/facebook/ttg web site and i'd say a week in advance of it.

    Yeah tt really announces their releases clearely thats a joke right? lol these guys tend to drop bombs on us at the very last second heck the ep2 can be released in mere minutes we just wont know lol they are known for doing this its cool yet its annoying all in one.

    I can't disagree, but there's another factor.

    The Economy. It sucks. Publishers and Developers are unwilling to take risks for anything new, and retreads are simply easier to do and can make more money. With new games, you have to create someone new, with uncertain return.
  • edited June 2012
    I'm optimistic and think it will be released by June 12th. I don't mind delays, its the lack of information that bothers me.

    Now that my first post is out of the way, time to enjoy the forums! Thanks for the great game TTG. Though you should know if there is a real zombie invasion I won't save you due to the delay and lack of concern for your costumers.

    I wish to be a part of the K.I.Q.C.S. because I love Clem and will protect her with my life. LONG LIVE QUEEN CLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • edited June 2012
    Just want to point out, PSN is extremely bad at updating (usually takes till about 7-9pm PST) for the update to occur for that Tuesday, so even if the episode releases tomorrow, it won't be until late tomorrow night.

    However 'm still willing to keep my bets on either this Tuesday (Hell, it's already Tuesday for some of you) or next Tuesday for PS3 users.

    Also thanks for the welcome Milosuperspesh, I actually felt a bit rude when I typed the previous post, not sure why though.

    As for Clem I honestly want her to be safe; at first she protected Lee, and even if she's simply a kid, she seems to be able to cope with the situation. She is pretty observant and can be helpful, and as I've said Lee would have died without her aid. Also in the final scene with Carley and Doug, nether of them would have been saved if it weren't for Clem if she didn't give you the cane in time.

    Overall she is a kind and sweet girl, which helps Lee in many situations, granted he has saved her as well. These two will continue to grow Father/Daughter in likeness and I can't wait to see how she plays in Episode Two.

    Although I'd have to say my favorite character is Glenn, too bad he left, but he had to get to Atlanta somehow. I wonder if we'll see Dale, Andrea, and Amy before they got to "Shane's" camp. Dale is my favorite character in both the comic and the show, and I'd love to see him arrive in this game.
  • edited June 2012
    After playing Episode 1 i cant wait for Episode 2. But i would like to make a prediction. I hope that you can become Cems father, of course not in Episode 2, but i hope in the last Episode, and i also hope that you have to make certain actions to make that happen (so not everbody has this ending). Why do i hope that is going to happen? Because Clems father is dead/undead (he was bitten). Clem would be sad, but Lee, as always, would take care for her.
