  • Great i'll likely be at my doctor appointment tomorrow when the news leaks.... -.-
  • That's classification

    I think it a rating like 16+ or 18+. I dunno

  • What gives about episode 3???? I've been waiting forever for this, it's bothered me so much that I now find myself here commenting on my frustrations...
  • so what not like it will be out on that day as well. It's wait for news our 4-6 week estimate was a lie... The estimate was a lie... The estimate was a lie.... (cake)

    Great i'll likely be at my doctor appointment tomorrow when the news leaks.... -.-

  • Seems like 13 people thought they were. Now you ain't gettin on my boat!

    Argue? Who is arguing? I appreciate him actually being the first active member of Telltale on the forums! No one is arguing. He and everyone reading this realizes Telltale needs to do a better job communicating. There is no argument.

  • I take a day off, expecting a trailer, but i get nothing but BS! Why am i surprised?
  • Oh, be happy! Job Strauffer said we'll get something before the weekend!

  • lol, man. Take a day off when the episode's released. That's what I'M going to do.

  • I am. But, we don't know when.

    lol, man. Take a day off when the episode's released. That's what I'M going to do.

  • It's almost Saturday, I think we will get good news. I'm trying to be optimistic but it's getting harder because we didn't get anything that could indicate that we are going to have the trailer in the playing dead. For now all we can do it's wait.

    Let's take it by example - Xbox 360 certification process (it's similiar for PS3):

    "Every game released on the Xbox 360 must comply with a series of Technical Certification Requirements, or TCRs. These requirements have nothing to do with the actual game. Instead, they specify requirements for how games interact with the Xbox hardware and software. For example, there are TCRs stipulating how a game must handle a controller being disconnected, or what to do if the player logs out, or if the storage device becomes unavailable. There are TCRs that stipulate the maximum amount of time you can be in a loading screen without showing something interactive or entertaining (e.g. hints, videos, etc). There are TCRs mandating minimum framerate, and stipulating text must be legible on standard definition televisions. There are TCRs that stipulate proper terminology and spelling for the Xbox controller buttons.


    Every game published on the Xbox 360 — whether it’s a retail game on disc, or a digital game for Xbox LIVE Arcade, published by Microsoft, or another publisher such as EA — must pass through the same certification gauntlet.

    The certification process is divided into three discreet phases: Build Verification Test (BVT), Compliance, and Functional.

    BVT is a suite of tests designed to ensure the game is packaged correctly for the Xbox system and executes properly. It ensures all Achievements are in place with proper point distribution, Avatar Awards are properly referenced, and Leaderboards are properly integrated. It checks that all supported language files are in place and loadable. In short, this phase is a sanity check before committing a large number of real live human beings to the next two stages.

    Compliance - In this phase the game is tested against all TCRs. If any fail, it’s deemed a Certification Failure Event (CFE) and your game gets booted out. There is a formal challenge process in which you can ask for an exception to the TCR, but exceptions are rarely granted, and only under very specific circumstances. Usually you have no recourse but to fix the issue, test it, and resubmit, which starts the entire process from scratch. That’s an important point: you can’t fix it and pick up where you left off. Every resubmission starts from the beginning.

    The final phase is Functional. This is the phase in which the certification team is actually playing the game. They’re not making qualitative judgements, but instead simply ensuring the game can be played, is completable, and fulfills the gameplay description provided by the developers.

    I hope it's not actually available to download on Xbox. Not until everyone else gets it too.

    Hopefully that picture's fake.

    I think this happened for a house divided, it showed the download episode button but it wouldn't let them do it.

  • Hopefully they will release the trailer today. But something tells me they are just going to wait until playing dead :(
