    Why do i think the 40 means.. thats the day Mark was discovered at the military base and it's where Lee's Group met him on the 40th day, and all theses pictures are the missing persons board at the military base, are we gonna get a prequel before episode 2? 1.5? am i right? :P All so it was the time lee was alive? Then its kind of what the hell does the day 220 and 184 mean, thats way over 3 months.. I'm so confused :F

    Of course it's some kind of missing persons board. The question is WHERE, and why does someone keep putting up new pictures even after nine months? You'd think that kind of board would have thought to be futile two weeks into the zombie apocalypse... :o
    Someone's sentimental value despite the actual futility of the effort perhaps?
    Though I suppose that's taking it back to the idea of being a memorial wall.

    It reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica remake. They started a missing person's board, which gradually turned into a memorial board when it became clear that everyone's loved ones weren't coming back.

    I don't think so... :)
    I agree, they wouldn't spoil so many characters before the game releases.

    It could also be Christa who will be a mother soon in the game and put all the pictures on a wall after a certain time she met these persons (Vince/Bonnie/Russel). She put the photos up on the wall after they died or got eaten by walkers and pay them with that some tribute. The first days she met with Omid , Vince and they saw him die.

    Lilly's available, but Glenn and Hershel are both characters from the comic. Since nothing has been released to change their continuity(yet), it's safe to say we will not be seeing either of them again.

    dies in the comic dude..
    assuming the timeline matches up.

    i kinda agree with foxxy here... it's number of days survived after meeting them, or days after an infection/attack / bite from a walker..

    the 40 could be to thirds of 404 page not found ?

    and the fact someone made accounts on facebook about bonnie/vince is kinda worrying.. but i will lol if they do turn out to be dead non playable/not even in the game..

    These might actually be the characters we meet and interact with there is no reason why they would have to stick with having these characters die on those specific days. In the debut trailer for Season 1 Christa kills herself in the forest while Lee , Kenny and Ben look on in horror. That doesn't happen in the game though.

    I've been following this with interest. I do love a good viral marketing campaign.

    Some observations/ theories:

    - The fact that the days are jumping around so heavily combined with all the "missing" signs makes me assume this is the number of days since the outbreak when these people went missing. This would appear to indicate the presence of some sort of settlement, which would be interesting- in the first game we've only known small bands of survivors. Imagine if the second game stayed in one place and shows the gradual implosion of a large group, instead of the survivor's life on the road?

    - We can see the same thumb in all of these entries. Could this be the new main character?

    - The mysterious flash in the latest entry. People are referring to it as a 40, which I initially though as well, but looking at it more closely it's a very strange "font"- the shape on the left doesn't really make a 4, and the bottom of what people are assuming is the 0 tapers down oddly. The irregular shapes and ghostly glow actually put me in mind of an image taken through infra-red.

    - In all three of the videos you can see the photos start to sway slightly before it loops, as though they're being blown by the wind. It's easiest to spot in the latest one, after the "40" disappears. I can't imagine how that could be relevant, but it must have been put there deliberately.

    stayng one place would get boring...after ep2 people wanted to move out of the motel.

    this board could be a town center or some monument somewhere most people would know the location of...

    maybe they took cue's from far cry 3 use of there noticed boards for side quests ?

    but ttg 'could' make it a base camp /game hub system where missions can be chosen, maybe some limit to them for each episode, the story hopefully can change more than season 1

    Can't make that name out? Shel? Shelly? Shiel? Hmm.. anyone notice the fork and knife and petrol tank. Women in her late 20s and early 30s, with a daughter i suppose or sister, celebrating a birthday. The symbol again too is another number or lower case letters.

    By me, that's probably just one of thoose public walls where people during catastrophes put pictures of their relatives and friends hoping that someone have seen them.

    4000 now?

    Mmmm... Crazy and unlikeable theory, but could itbe "4000 days", which would make about11 years... Could it be possible to play a grown-up Clementine?
    But still, that'd be weird and I can't see any link between this and the missing person thing.. And the comics is still not that far... That'd be interesting to play after the zombie thing is done, but Robert Kirkman wouldn't let it happen I think.

    I really don't know what to think, and I just want to wait E3.

    But the things I trust most would be to say that this is for the DLC we heard about and which would make a link between season 1 and season 2. Like, starting with a new character and that would end with either finding Clementine (I don't think so, it wouldn't make sense, since players already have a strong connection with her. Playing Omid or Christa would make more sense since they know her.) or finding Omid and Christa.

    I don't know aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I have so many differents scenarii in my head with pros and cons...

    E3, FASTER PLEASE

    I hope it's not a 'teen' game,Clem and Duck were kids,but i would of hated playing as someone like a Ben character,these characters need to age!!!!

    Hey Grace,I would like to hopefully be the first to welcome you here,and on another note,I wonder what 4000 could mean.

    Also,maybe the new group has another name for zombies,an original name,not like biters,roamers,lurkers,or walkers.
  • edited June 2013
    4000 ? number of walkers killed/found ?

    or could it even be some twisted game show like from dead rising 2 or professor genki ethical climax ?

    dunno but that latest one with 'shel' is poor resolution on her photo.

    Shel Kinda looks like mollys sister especially with that necklace, but cant tell with the expression on her face in this picture and it's rather blurry, but it's day 236 so surely shes dead by then, no connection here.

    I'm pretty sure the "0" in Russell's "40" is the same as the first zero in Shel's "00"

    So...... 400 walkers killed? 400 people lost to the dead? 4:00AM/PM? There are only so many things this could be hmmm.

    That's why I said "Always keep moving"
    I think story must be in journey concept, it's more... touching I guess. Campfire in night. Clementine drink tea from an old tin can, and you check the state of the weapon,and impart ammo in the empty cages... It's awesome.

    The numbers in the Days could be relevant. Not gonna think too hard on this one though with E3 in around 3 and a half days, but this is pretty exciting.
  • edited June 2013

    Makes sense!
    So 400 days after the infection, 400 days after end of season 1, 400 missing people, 400 dead people... It's getting me crazy!!
    Like, I'm now moreexcited about TTG at the E3 that I am for next-gen!

    I wonder who will be the protagonist i think vince lookes cool......nah russel
  • edited June 2013
    I get the feeling that these pictures are being put up on a map board located at the "Gil's Pitstop" location from TT's twitter background. The only thing I don't get about that background is why the gas prices would be so low.

    I theorize that this person may be searching for missing party members and finding them as zombies on the numbered days. During their search, they may find zombie Lee and ultimately Clem clem. Just a wild theory. :)

    This doesnt link in correctly because the s1 story didnt even come close to 236 days long it was maxmimum 100 days (3 and a half months)

    I am sure Gary Whitta said it is a playable thing,can anyone correct me?

    I also have a theory,maybe the number will represent how many people are missing.and in the last video,we will see the whole number,and the entire board,which could be huge,I highly doubt it though.

    he only said it would be something to make the wait for season 2 less painfull/less hard/ a bit easier..

    It looks like a neon sign, so it's more likely to be part of a place name like a bar or something.

    !!Bill gates.
    I don't know. I googled 400 and America, and he came up xd
    if it is a bar or something, probably made up, or changed - so probably wouldn't get anything :/
  • edited June 2013
    I counted all Lee's zombie murders:
    Episode 1: 8 zombies killed. Episode 2: 1 zombies killed. Episode 3: 8 to 12 zombies killed (according to the players actions). Episode 4: 43 (approximately) zombies killed. Episode 5 : 13 to 18 zombies killed (depending on the player's actions)
    Total: Minimum 73 zombies killed.
    Maximum 82 zombies killed.
    No connection with the number 400
