Season Two will require season one save files.

edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
That is, according to Greg from ign's review yet again. (More of a hint not a guarantee/confirmation)

    So, couldn't wait and had to take a sneak peek at the IGN video review found here - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/11/19/the-walking-dead-the-game-episode-5-no-time-left-review

    IF YOU DON'T WANT ANY SPOILERS DONT WATCH THE VIDEO AND JUST READ WHAT I HAVE PUT NEXT.

    Anyway, at the end, the last thing the reviewer says is. "Make sure you hold on to your Season 1 save files"

    What do you think this could mean for Season 2. To be honest I wasn't expecting to have anything to do with Season 1, but looks like a lot of thinking that were wrong!?:confused:

    Intersting...

    So maybe not everyone ends up dead? I haven't watched the video review because I don't want to be spoiled, but yeah.

    The least likely to die now are Christa and Omid from the looks of it and Kenny and Ben are for sure taken out.

    or maybe theres a few references of what your lee did in season 2

    I don't know which Greg is saying this, but you should probably not consider anything you hear about season 2 a fact at this point in time.

    I heard the ending kinda hints at a season 2....

    If the whole group died in Savannah how can any of the references exist, for the other group that are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse probably don't even know about the existence of Lee's group and even if they happened to find Lee's corpse or a member of his group dead on the ground then to them the group would be nothing more than some survivors who were unlucky enough to be caught in the horde rather than consider Lee's heroic actions.

    it's been long confirmed that a season two is revealed and the review mentioned it as well.

    You're replying to a Telltale staff member, who I'm sure is quite aware of that fact. :)

    You misinterpreted the post, it wasn't meant to say not to consider there will be a season two (since that's a given), but rather not to trust anything you hear about what's going to be in season two at this point in time.

    :O didn't see that, but yeah I misinterpreted and thought he meant there is no season two.

    Even if Kevin Bruner said that? :D

    It will obviously be a stand alone game too, but I can imagine that if they continue this storyline some choices you've made will come back. For example, Clementine referencing the last thing Lee has said to her or keeping her hair shorter when Lee told her that.

    So he did say that...
  • edited November 2012
    That is nice! Any more infos on that? Will it have impact on anyone surviving/dieing or only impact on some dialog?
  • edited November 2012
    I kinda hope it doesn't considering all the savefile issues.
  • edited November 2012
    So... Steam Cloud save support in a future update to make sure we don't lose our saves?
  • edited November 2012
    Hopefully, because if Clem (or anyone from the first season) are in season two, wouldn't it be hard for them to reminisce? No-one mention the past. Unless it's just general "we lost Lee.." stuff like that etc.

    Well for me specifically it wasn't the savefile dissapearing, it was the game randomly changing decisions I'd made. I rewound my ep 5 save and
    all of a sudden the guy is talking about how I let Clem eat human meat when I stopped her, this was something I was sure he didn't say the first time.
    It really took me out of the moment knowing things happened differently.

    It could do, as in one point at the end, like you said, if you tell Clem to keep her hair short, it will say "Clementine will remember that". She might note it to herself in season 2 or something.

    As much as they did in this game.

    ... To be more exact, they'll flavor the game, but they won't be massive, earth-shattering changes. At least, that's my going theory.
  • edited November 2012
    I don't think they'd tell you to save your saves if they wouldn't have some sort of impact one way or another....

    I don't think Telltale themselves said this... it's just hearsay at this point.
  • edited November 2012
    I was thinking that but with all the ends being pretty much the same.

    Im guessing Clem starts out with the knowlegde of knowing its a dangerous world and her parents is gone.

    So no need to pull over all that info from first season into next.

    "Shawn will remember that... for two minutes."

    Uhh...no. Do you get how much of a problem this will be for Telltale? Imagine developing a game that reads previous save files.

    Bu they've had to do that with each episode.

    Plenty of games have done it before.

    It wouldn't be the first time Telltale's done it, either. Sam and Max Season 2, SBCG4AP, and Back to the Future all had ways to remember what you'd done in past episodes. (This was back when each individual episode was treated as a separate game.)
