The TV show isn't canon to the Comics so...
Lee and Clementine might pop up. You never know. The TV show has basically said "fuck the comic canon" on occasion.
So, for all we know, Lee could possibly make an appearance in the TV show, alive, with both his arms, lol. And so could Clem.
And the game is a force to be reckoned with. Amazing reviews and sales, so for the TV show creators to incorporate elements and characters from the game wouldn't be as unlikely as you think.
- We haven't even seen Lilly in Woodbury, instead we got the Haley chick who's probably a mashup of Lilly and someone else.
- We got the Dixon brothers, two totally new characters (that are awesome, by the way).
- Shane lasted longer than Sophia (who's still alive in the comics).
- Dale died earlier than Shane.
- Carol's still alive.
- Lilly/Haley didn't shoot Lori, Carl did.
- Judith is still alive.
- Tyreese was supposed to show up a lot sooner than he did.

As far as the game goes, this is entirely the opposite. It is the same universe but the whole plot, characters, areas and story is utterly different. Nothing like comics nor tv or novel at all. Sure some characters make an appeareance here and there (hershel, glenn, lilly etc) but they are nothing like in the show nor the comics.
I highly doubt any characters from the game would ever appear in the show. for once it is because the people writing the walking dead have absolutely nothing to do with the people writing the game story or characters.
You do realize the game is canon to the comics? If the game is apart of the comics, it's not crazy for one to theorize that characters from the game can be included.
And not really. Sophia's dead. Carol's still alive. The Dixon brothers are a major part of the series. Tyreese just came in, so him being killed by the Governor like he was in the comics is unlikely. It follows the story, but it's very liberal with it. So it's hard to predict what will happen.
There are two different canons: Comic (the Telltale's game it's based on it) and TV show. That's it.
Hm~ But the possibility exist~
So no game character at all, huh? That's a bold statement to make, but I respect your opinion, mate. If the game included comic characters, and Kirkman talked about putting the Dixon brothers in the comics, that doesn't mean the mediums are immune to crossing over.
I hope not. Really don't see what the point would be.
Some people were introduced to TWD universe solely through this game and knew nothing about the comics or TV show prior to playing, including myself.
I really have no interest in reading or watching the others, so I'd like to keep the game's plot as separate from the other two as possible.
That's kinda selfish, don't you think? There are people who read the comics, embraced the TV show, and the game. Why should they be punished because you don't have an interest in the comics or TV show (and your reasoning for this is beyond me)?
Perhaps, but it's just my opinion. I doubt TTG is going to see my post and go, "Hey, that's a swell idea."
As far as my disinterest in the comic series and television show goes? I'm just not interested. There are several franchises like TWD that have various forms of media but I may only choose to follow one or two. Not unheard of.
Kirkman has no influence on the game? I do not believe this, Kirkman is the creator of the Kanon of the game, so he can say a hell of a lot.
I thought R.Kirkman just helped with the developing of Ep.1
You act as if TWD can't have more than two black people at a time... oh wait.
Geez! Everything what happens in the comics universe also happens in the game's universe. So if Kirkman would have said "Newborns are never infected" for example, nobody in the game could ever have a zombie babie, get it?
You would never see Daryl in a Telltale game.
This is good~
Activison's making a game based on Daryl and Merle, so it's not entirely out of the question.
Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Telltale own the copyright for the characters of the game? I doubt AMC would go through all the trouble to license those characters when they already have those of the comic book at their disposal, and even if they did, I don't think Telltale would give them permission to use them.
Honestly, I don't unerstand why every time the videogame industry manages to make a good story everyone wants to see it adapted for cinema or TV or what have you. It's as if they didn't believe in their own medium -.-
P.S. I'm sorry for any typos, I was writing this on my cellphone an some of the keys don't work correctly, and also, English is not my first language (that would be Spanish). Thanks for reading!
Thank god.
That's my point. Activision is making a game off AMC's version and AMC is promoting it. Activision couldn't have made the game without AMC's OK. Right now telltale's the walking dead is competition to their game.
While everything is the walking dead universe. The show and the game can't freely take what they want from each other. likenesses/characters etc. they can always pay for them but it is unlikely.
Two other genres. The one will be an adction-adventure game like Far Cry, while.. Telltales is a point'n'click. I do not think activision will manage, what Telltale did.
I bet in AMC's eyes telltales game is competition to their game. I think in one of the playing dead's they said AMC wasn't to thrilled about the game.
