They made a demo. It's tge first 15 minutes of the game.
Btw: the menu layout looks like the one from the collection and ANF, but the animated artwork looks really good.
Not sure if u guys noticed, but S1, S2, and ANF... got some activity going on steamdb, my best guess is that we can use any save from any season we want. (I.E let's say you completed Season Two, and wants to start TFS, you can import your save file easily, and then either the game generates for you the ANF choices, or either u chose them.)
I played it on the base xbox one and it ran the smoothest any telltale game has ever run. Basically just like in the video. It looks fantastic, too!
Exploration is a step up compared to S2/ANF, but there are not as many things to inspect outside of the ones shown in the video. There are like three or four additional that you can't see in the video.
The menus, as said in another post, are basically the same style as ANF/The Collection, HOWEVER the animated image looks much better and the pause music will make a lot of people happy. You can't see the episode-sliders in the demo, so i don't know how they look. I'm also a really big fan of the death-screen when you die. Really good.
I loved it and it made me confident, that this season will be very good.
Here are my spoiler-free thoughts on the demo.

It felt like it, but i'm not competely 100% sure. It could very well be just 30fps without any hiccups or drops and some subtle motion blur effects to make it seem more smoothly, but it's definetly smoother than ANF, The Collection and even Batman Season 2.
Just played it again with german dubs and i am wholeheartedly surprised how good it actually is. The translations are good, the VA's are great - which was my biggest concern, since VA's for children and young adults are rare here in germany - and it's lip-sync, which i hope is kind of an automatic feature, because if it is, the translators and voice-actor directors aren't bound to the one lip-movement of the characters anymore, which could enhance the effectiveness of certain scenes by them not needing to write dialogue that primarily matches the lip-movement at the cost of consistency in wording, which is sadly the norm here in germany.
I'm very impressed. Godd job, @mostlypoptarts and the whole team!
The demo has such a shitty menu. It’s just the old Netflix-esque menu their past 5 games had... truly hope it’s not the final menu design - especially since they kept saying the menu would be something unique and something we’d be happy with.
I have made peace with this decision...it is wrong and I think the demo could have brought back a lot of jaded PC owners...but I am sure Telltale knows better.
I am currently downloading the demo right now. What is it like? Does the game run well? What does the Graphic Black art style look like on your system? I watched the gameplay footage but I find videos or clips to be less enjoyable than the actual personal experience. I loved the game clips but is it good when you are actually controlling Clementine and roaming the environment?
SIEE Update: The demo should be available to customers by midnight PT / 8 am London (on Aug 1st), but could be available as early as 4 pm PT / midnight London.
I'm sorry about the delay. Hold tight! Hoping the store sorts itself out sooner rather than later.

Hmm, PS4 got a demo too?
60 FPS on Base?

Is there a PS4 demo yet?
No idea for PS4 Demo, but I think Steam will probably get the demo at 1PM EST
Not yet, but I would assume it might come when the PS Store updates later today.
According to Delt, he can see the demo, but I cannot, so it might only be available on the US PS Store now.
Any moderator online? Are we going to know why we did not go back to richmond? Are we going to discover through the gameplay??? Just askin'
Slaughterhouse is not an ANF character, it's from Season 3 that never happened.
I agree, bring back Slaughterhouse. He deserved way better than what he got in ANF.
Moderator's are not Telltale staff, so we know about as much as you.

So when is this 'TWD Suprise' coming?
Soon
It's possible. Could provide a little more tension with them.
I live in the US and there's still nothing. How did Delt find it?
This link might help out: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP2026-CUSA12846_00-TWDS40000000DEMO
Thanks, I appreciate it.
So the surprise is the demo then?
It’s not out in Europe well i couldn’t find it
Probably a problem with PS coz its on Xbox in Europe
Yeah i own a PS4 i try to wait
Yep!
Poptarts fam, is the demo going to release on Steam as well?
Is it coming in Europe on ps4
Is in Ps4 store?
It should've been out by now if it was gonna release on steam too... Maybe after it fully releases.
It'll probably release on the PS Store for everyone at 4-5 PM est. So give or take 3-4 hours
According to the tweet, it's PS4 and Xbox One only.
Yeah, it should be out there already but seems like there's a delay (clearly!). We're working to get it up on the store!
I have made peace with this decision...it is wrong and I think the demo could have brought back a lot of jaded PC owners...but I am sure Telltale knows better.
Thanks
