So, is the combat similar to MC:SM S2 where it involves timing and dodging, or is it just walking up to the walker and choosing your attack?
Also... Please let us have one of these over-the-shoulder battles with a human character. Imagine how awesome that'd be! Where we'd really have to time and choose our moves very carefully.
Starting to doubt that the episode length will at least be 2 hours+ based on the monthly release schedule, unless they've had a nice head start making them. Four episodes is already less content, if they are able to compensate by making each episode longer I'll be satisfied. I still think the 90 minute episode rule from season 2 needs to be thrown in the bin, along with the lack of time to get to know the characters due to the short episode lengths. Nothing I really say now will make that much of a difference since it's already well within development, if they listened to the fans all these years they should know what needs to be improved so hopefully they did.
On the plus side I'm really liking these little interactions I've seen so far. Marlon gives off Kenny vibes and I like that it's a much more simple story layout. No massive group's involved with a big cast. Just a small cast of characters the story is focused on that we get to know, just like season one.

What will be your response if Season 4 isn't satisfactory at all?

Depends on what you'd consider as 'satisfactory.'
To me it's if the episodes are well written and well paced whilst also managing to be emotionally engaging, but again restricting yourself to 90 minutes per episode makes that hard to do.
Beggars cant be choosers so right now I'll just settle for anything that's better than ANF. Maybe something better than even season 2 quality, i believe the plot layout we've been given for S4 does have a lot of potential.
If it turns out to be the worst in the series then I suppose my response would be that I'm glad they ended it this season. Although giving me more to complain about than ANF is a chore in itself, one which I hopefully doubt they'll be able to pull off. (Unless they give Clementine the shittiest send off possible in the last episode.)

You don’t know if the Episodes are going to be any good. Also Telltale want The Final Season to be finished this year, so that means monthly Episodes releases. Michonne and A New Frontier had monthly releases and every single one of their Episodes are SHORT.
I'd rather have Clementine and AJ trip over a pebble and die, rather than meet Javi again, let alone return to Richmond. I don't wanna be reminded of.....?* shudders *
Just because they make the story shorter doesn’t mean it will somehow magically benefit from it. A poor story is still a poor story no matter how brief. But we do know this game is at its best when they take their time with it and let it breathe. With 4 episodes which will probably be in the 90-100 minute range. It appears that Telltale still has not learned that lesson, or any lessons ever.

They announced S3/ANF in July 2014, it released in December 2016, and episodes were a little over an hour. The gap between S1 and S2 was 13 months (November 2012 to December 2013) and episodes were 90-100 minutes. How long they're developing it does not translate into episode lengths.

I have faith too, but I'm just going off the cold hard facts based on the past. If they can somehow go from pumping out 90 minute episodes every 2 -3 months in the days of s2 and ANF to 2+ hour episodes every month for s4 I'll be pleasantly surprised. One month to do an episode is absolutely nuts so I'm just having to assume they're not doing them one at a time anymore.

I don't wanna sound like a total bitch, but that little preview of TFS demo where Clementine first enters the boarding school seemed kinda dry. I know we barely saw anything, but yeah... I'm gonna try to say positive things now, can't keep looking at the issues of everything
I do not believe that was Clem's first time at the school. I mentioned elsewhere that the mullet kid said something along the lines of "I guess you haven't been here in a while," which makes me believe that Clem is returning back to the school. This would also explain why pre-K age AJ remembers Clem so distinctively. If this season stays chronological with zero flashbacks, we might be looking at an opening where Clem is on the road returning to the boarding school. Why would Clem leave AJ again? That's a good question I'd like to find out.
Also, I could be wrong in my assumption since AJ asks Clem in another clip if Clem trusts the boarding school kids. This would assume it was their first time as it would be odd for Clem to willingly leave AJ with people she didn't trust.

Managed to catch most of TWDG content at PC Gaming stream on Twitch. It was the same gameplay footage from yesterday, but almost everything (including Clem and AJ hug, more of the Clem and AJ scene on the bunk bed) was in HD.

Maybe, but then what do you think could explain the shocked look on her face? Maybe the amount of people that were there?
In this AMA they confirmed there will be more female character other than Clem and Violet, that we might see a returning character or two but it's unlikely that it will be the Garcias which is weird considering the last dialogue we got in TLF was to convince Clem whether to bring AJ back or to leave him be, not counting all the loose ends (Joan/Clint's whereabouts , Kate's mysterious disappearance etc.)

By the way in ANF Clementine had determinant scars (missing a finger, gash on the eyebrow, scratch on the cheek, tattoo on the hand). I could not find any of these on Clementine in the teaser trailer, so is ANF THAT much not canon?

My bad, read it as “I didn’t pick up ANF”; and it’s canon because Kirkman said it is.
where?when? in what interview? Send me a link

Everyone flipping because of the 4 episodes thing but I'd rather take 4 good written and grounded episodes than rushed fuck ups

How about a car accident where Javi ends up dying being thrown by the windshield ... would not that be enough?
How about a hit and run "accident" where Javi is turned into ROAD KILL?
Yes ... better the little well written than the very and poorly executed. I'm looking at you ... ANF.

They announced the game last year during the summer. They've been working on this for a long long time.

I have faith in the team, especially after this same team just did Batman S2.

They used to do 3+ hour episodes with only about a month between before TWD if I recall correctly.
Yeah, we could really use another girl to foil Clementeen and White!Clementine.
Maybe they will release it monthly because they are already working on other episodes
It's the last waiting thread for a season opener of twd....Mr.telltale I don't feel so good ?
I can’t believe the García’s are not returning in The Final Season
I wanted them to at least to have a cameo 
Now ANF is even more pointless then before. I was hoping for at least a Javier cameo in the final season.
Gotta pander to the base.
Excuse me? My opinions are valid like everyone else’s on here.
You're excused, my son.
Yeah it’s sad but we will see other returning characters

More kids? A storm made it more run down? They built areas back up? I have absolutely no idea and really wish it was August so I can get an answer.
Here is the complete footage of Telltale’s segment at the PC stream.

Maybe everyone in Richmond died.
Oh totally. I'm looking at the best case scenario
I think it's enough of the Garcia, unless it's the end of the season, like Clem and AJ looking for a safe place.
If anyone's interested, here's TFS avatars in high quality.
I have a feeling one of our big losses this season is going to be the hat. Clem is going to lose it or it will catch fire or something like that.
