Please tell me this is b.s???

This is from walking dead wiki ( and also its on normal wiki ) about season 2!1

" Telltale plans to tie Season 2 in closer with the television adaptation of The Walking Dead, and is investigating the possibility of creating ties between characters in the television show and those in Season 2. "


Its total Bs right? coz if its true then it will just ruin it for me quite frankly.

    Doesn't sound like something they'd do, hope not.

    Who cares?

    well because that will just ruin it and it would be no longer considerd cannon to the comic books.

    Since we met Glenn, who is also in the TV show if I'm not mistaken, it is possible we might see him at least in season 2, right? Wouldn't surprise me if Glenn is Vince's brother.
  • edited July 2013
    There's nothing that contradicts the TV show, so it's pretty much canon to that too. I haven't read the first comics in a long time, does Glenn have the Walkie-Talkie in that as he does in TV show?

    Because it can be inferred that Clem's Walkie-Talkie is the one he uses to contact Rick.
  • edited July 2013
    I don't think so no, I think he just finds Rick in person.
  • edited July 2013
    I think he uses it in the first comic issue, and no I do not believe they will get closer to the TV show since they already have the backing of Skybound.

    Only time will tell if it is true, but I believe in one interview, Dan Connors (Telltale CEO) stated that it would be an "interesting concept" to tie in game characters with the show characters. I hope not, though...

    That was sometime ago, hopefully they abandoned that plan, it would break the immersion if I see someone from the show.

    That would break immersion? How so?

    Did seeing Glenn break immersion? This is the same universe, it's not like Donald Duck appearing.

    Not like that, I mean they said the it was canon to the comics, it would break immersion to see TV characters like Daryl, I am just saying they should not think of crossing over with the TV and just keep making the game go in it's own direction in the comic world.

    I really hope it is because if telltale try and put daryl in the game or something it would be a serious mistake.Stay as far away from the show and comic characters as possible,they're just not interesting since they are canon protected.

    I'm halfway about it.

    For the reason you state, that these characters are protected by canon, I would never want TV show/comic characters to be main characters in the game.

    However, I'm not opposed to small roles being given to characters from those mediums. Glenn's role was great, and I think that's the way to do it if they decide to bring those characters in - have them in for a single episode.

    Comic only please, the show is not the same universe. Even then, not a lot of the comic.

    As sick as it sounds we want characters we like be both original and killable, being from the comics just makes you invincible.

    I agree...
    Episode 1 there were a few characters from the comics and they were the ones that no matter what they couldn't die
    Anyone who has guaranteed life either due to Comics or possibly 400 days characters before day 400 takes place are not exciting and you can pretty much just put them in harms way as you know they are immortal
  • edited July 2013
    So no, I really hope Telltale does not do this at all, it won't make season 2 a bad game, it's just something that will not improve the game at all, and is a waste of time and money.

    Sounds to me they just want to hijack TellTale's version of The Walking Dead, since their Survival Instincts game was terrible, and not as well praised. That being said, I would never ever want this series to crossover with anyone whose writing for the show, or the comics for that matter.

    I want TellTale to be able to go full force with its own story, that just happens to be taking place inside the world of the comics. Also, Hershel and Glenn are designed to look and act like they do in the comics, so you there's already quite a few problems right there. Plus Hershel's farm was designed after the comic's layout, and the not the one on the show...not that too many people would pay attention to that but oh well.

    The television series is so so bad. Good actors, and a few good ideas, but overall they couldn't tell a very consistent story, and seem to be going nowhere with their adaptation. They really should have stuck much closer to the comics...they just don't seem to have any idea what kind of story they want, much less what to do with it other than humanizing the Governor and making every good character from the comics an idiot, or an asshole.

    Daryl is about the only thing they've done right for the show. However, sacrificing TellTale's original vision just so he can appear for about a minute or two would be a bad idea.

    I agree, it just would not work.

    Actors are not immortal, they must improvise.

    I'm not sure who you were referring to or what, but of course actors aren't immortal, which is why I think AMC is stupid for wanting the show to go on for years. The reason why it works for Doctor Who is because even though he changes actors, he's essentially the same character with the same memories, who can adapt to whatever is modern or relevant.

    The Walking Dead has no reason or excuse for something like that, and it won't take them long to catch up to the comics considering how many arcs they've already rushed through or mixed together. At that point they will either have to take a long break (not gonna happen), or come up with their own material, and considering how they've handled their original ideas, it's not going to end well for them.

    This is why TellTale's version has the advantage. They have good storytellers, and can always make a new cast if need be, and can easily reference a past storyline or events through gameplay or revisited areas.

    Nothing in the game really contradicts the TV show now. The only way to really tie the tv show and the game more would be to have some of the TV only characters in the game. But I don't think AMC would allow that.
  • edited July 2013
    Well as said before the way the farm looks contradicts the show, and the age if some of the characters to but it does not matter that much.
  • edited July 2013
    They shouldn't heavily incorporate any of the characters from the show. Mostly because the show is terrible.

    If a single character makes a cameo or whatever, fine, but I really don't want the show invading the game. The game is incredible, the show is not.

    Oh, I hope it is. PLEASE, LET IT BE FALSE! Otherwise, it will RUIN the game for me. TTG, don't do this to us.
  • edited July 2013
    It won't ruin it for me, I would understand why it would for some people, it would be very annoying and would break immersion and that is the last thing I want to happen.
  • edited July 2013
    This is the comic universe do you not understand? Hershel and glen basically confirmed it, they tie in with there Comic back Stories and no where in the tv show is it stated that glen is from macon, and shawn in hershels step son in the show.

    This

    and break the immersion B.S
  • edited July 2013
    Yup, and the characters even look like they were drawn out with their outlines.

    Also, I noticed that most- all characters (except Lee) have paintbrush lines off of their characters, hanging like nothing else. Makes it obvious that this was supposed to look drawn.
  • edited July 2013
    That was the idea, it was done that way to look like a comic book, they even thought of putting it in black and white.

    The Correct term is graphic novel

    Sorry, the graphic novel is black and white and the game was going to be to, they changed it because it did not work as well.

    Show sucks and so far the game is awesome and Shane from the TV series was the best part.

    No Glen doesn't have a walkie talkie in the comics. The only person to have a walkie talkie is Eugene who Rick meets after leaving the prison, probably a year and half or so into the apocalypse. Eugene has a walkie talkie but it doesn't really work since they don't have batteries.

    Okay then, it really has been to long since I read the fist issue, so Glenn having the wakie means nothing then.
