    Damnit, I expected so much more. Now I'm sad :/ Just the fact they worsened my fears so much that they have just started working on season 2. Sad, sad and more sad :////////

    Perhaps it's the 3 months between episode 1 and 2. Or maybe it's something that ties up all loose ends in season 1 so they can start completely fresh in season 2.

    I think it's an episode that probably shows the adventures of members of the group before they met Lee.

    Great. Even more Walking Dead news, even though Season 1 ended months ago and Season 2 won't come until at least Fables ends. Meanwhile, King's Quest was announced two years ago and they won't even say if it's still happening or not.

    I'm glad Telltale's made something that's seen so much success, but I really hope they don't end up becoming "The Walking Dead Company." I know I'll probably get crucified for saying this with what the forum population is like these days, but as much as I liked it it wasn't even their best game.

    Hopefully it will come before Fables.Aye,Telltale shouldn't turn into TWD company,but should honestly,put the entire focus on TWD.TWD was,and will be for a long time,their best game,not some no-name comics like Fables or King's Quest,barely anyone heard off (no offense TTG. :) ). :P

    He said season 2 is a long way off (which I expected), but I wish I knew how long that might be. One year, two years, or longer?

    don't think a flash back is really necessary...

    yes it would please the fans to bring doug/carley back

    but i feel it's best if they are giving us info on christa and omid if they are in season 2 or at least some idea what happened and maybe a bit more info on the mystery couple clem spots on the hill.

    heck even some walkers turn up ?

    kenny actually is alive maybe injured ?

    or just to really f things up..we find out clem is actually a incephlapod alien in a child like cyborg body intent on world domination ?

    I was never really expecting anything before the end of the year anyway, but its always a little disappointing to hear its not that far along. Still im prepared to wait if its half as good as season 1.

    That little tease about a bit more in-between season 1 and 2 is exciting if indeed we do end up getting anything (chickens before they hatch and all that). A chapter 1.5 would be a dream, since that first half of the season before Lilly shot Carley and Duck & Kat's deaths were the most interesting for me in terms of the characters and the group dynamic. I just want to see more damn it :(

    Still pointless to speculate (not that that's going to stop me) maybe all you Kenny fans can dream its the epic tale of his escape from Savannah. Omid and Christa would be a bit boring. I still ended the game with them still feeling a bit like strangers to me, had only started warming to them right at the end.

    I don't think we can really "dream" about it until we know for sure whether he's in the episode Gary Whitta described or not. I also kinda doubt that whatever situation Kenny's going to be in if/when we find him again, it's going to be "epic". :rolleyes:

    Dreams tend to be unlikely at best, that's why they're dreams rather than expectations.

    And i assure you the use of the word "epic" was only partially serious.

    I think he's dead tbh, painful as it his it feels to me like his story has come to a natural feeling conclusion.

    Even if he lives I doubt someone who quite possibly hated you in season one could ever be the PC, though i would enjoy playing as Kenny myself it would be a pretty bold and divisive move from telltale. I think the PC will be someone we've never met, that's the most logical solution.

    I doubt they will become "The Walking Dead" Company, but this will be their franchise game and most of their resources will be towards this game (Only if Season 2 succeed's though, they cannot mess it up or all this will be forgotten). It's the right decision and the reward would be huge.

    TellTale hit a "Jackpot" with this game. This was absolutely huge... I actually don't remember a GOTY before this one where so many people agreed on a game. In fact they made history at the VGA's by winning that award away form the triple A titles. Nobody expected that to happen, and I was amazed when they did.

    If TellTale plays their hands right, this game could transform their entire company. The same way that Half-Life made valve, the same way that GTA 3 made Rockstar, the same way that CoD 4 made Activision, the same way that Minecraft got so huge. Every company needs a start from somewhere, and this was the biggest/most hyped game of the entire year. When you get something like this, you have to take the opportunity.

    Now, I'm not saying TWD will become the next Half-Life/GTA/CoD because it won't. But this can easily become the next Assassins Creed, the next Bioshock, the next Mass Effect, etc. Titles that sell millions without a question. Can't blame them for putting all their time into the next season. They have to do it.

    Also I disagree and think this was their best game. But this is all opinion.

    Also hints at possible DLC? Seemed unlikely but he clearly said we don't have to wait till Season 2 to play new TWD!

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122361-Telltale-Is-Bringing-More-Walking-Dead-Before-Season-2

    And I quote:

    Gary Whitta, Telltale's story consultant for The Walking Dead and writer of season one's fourth episode, recently discussed the future of the series with IGN. According to him, a second season won't be coming for a while, but something else is already on the horizon. "I can tell you what you already know," he began, "which is season two is coming. There's not much to say because it really is very early in the process ... it's a way off. But, knowing that it's a way off, and knowing that people are hungry for more Walking Dead ... there may very well be more Walking Dead from Telltale before season two. We may have a little something extra for you between season one and two."

    Thought this was interesting.

    if there is a new episode, it had better be either set after the ending or unrelated to the first season, because i feel like an episode in the middle of the story would make all my decisions i made after that episode wrong and i would have to do it again based on the new information i have and that would ruin it because i cant play the episodes again not knowing what will happen next, it would basically just invalidate my original playthrough.

    like imagine if this scene was added in later as DLC, it would change the whole thing http://youtu.be/bQz4Q45fsTg

    Or even Molly, Vernon..
    That would be great..

    Considering we've been told to hold onto our Season 1 save files, I think THIS is the reason, and not season 2. Think about it, if the second series requires players to own the first series, that would be a disadvantage to those who choose to skip it (and they do exist), causing loss in revenue, now why would Telltale do that? What does make sense is having DLC for the first series that adds to the story already played through by people who paid for it.

    As for my predictions on what this DLC will contain, I think that we will see how Clementine got to the hill in the countryside, and what happened to Christa and Omid, based upon our last words to them in Episode 5. "Clementine will remember this" appearing as we give her our last words of advice also fits in with that idea, so the DLC will look at our saves and go "oh, you told Clem to go to the train, that's where we will be heading in your game" or "you picked 'go find a group' she'll be with a new group now". The possibilities are endless, but that's just my idea. As for the Kenny idea, I s'pose it would be nice to get absolute confirmation on whether he is alive or dead (and I would love it if he survived; even though I think he's a jerk, he's still my favorite character), however I don't think we would play him, we might just run into him or see him in a cutscene either alive or as a walker.

    I'm inclined to think Clementine might be the PC for the upcoming DLC. Playing as a little girl wouldn't hold up well for an entire season, but for a smaller episode that bridges what happened between Clem leaving Lee behind in the jewellery store and spotting the two figures out in that field, it makes a lot more sense.

    Dude, if you don't play episode 1 and instead play 2, episode 1's results are randomized. Such would be the same for season 2. It'd be extremely easy to do, considering they already have the mechanics down.

    Personally, I think it's mad to decry the fact that telltale are focusing more of their resources on TWDII at the expense of their other titles. As has been said, TWD is the game that launched them into the mainstream, with a lot of critical success. Creating an equally good sequel would guarantee at least some degree of commercial success and thus both more exposure and more resources to work on future releases, such as games currently being delayed for TWDII. That said, I can see your concerns regarding the possibility of them eventually focusing all their energies into TWD sequels until other projects get scrapped; I was disappointed when a similar thing happened with KOTOR III. However, have faith for now.

    It would make complete sense for this segment to bridge the gap between the first and second series. Playing as Clementine would also make sense, given that it's her navigating to the grassy field and the only other characters who could be left are Kenny and Omid/Christa. Not sure where this'll go, i.e. whether it'll be a chapter long enough to get Clem to the area and reveal the fates of the series one characters but not reveal the figures on the hill, or whether it'll get to them, reveal them and stop there. Personally, I'd see it more as the conclusion of the first series, but with enough left for there still to be some cliffhanger for fans of the first before the second.

    As has been said, it would be logical for the second season to start fresh, or at least have resolved the fates of all the characters from series one, tying up any loose ends. I think it's a good move, because as well as getting more WD, it means they'll have more time to really perfect the sequel (hopefully addressing the choice issue to at least some extent with playable alternatives) without overly impatient fans breathing down their necks.
