What was the point of telltale naming the walking dead - "the walking dead" ?

It is nothing relevant to the show or comics, from what I know.

So what was the point exactly? was it just for publicity? Because if anything, that was a great idea and quite honestly It's better than both the show and comics.

But still.. was it just an excuse to use comic like art? This still puzzles me. But I also think it's a bad call bc people often get confused with the game & show. And sometimes even get survival instinct (cringe)with twd by ttg. Even heard people bought survival instinct bc they thought it was relevant to ttg's. And I have no idea why robert sold the franchise to activision or who ever created s.i.. He even said himself he'd hate it to be a lame first person shooter - generic zombie like game..

ya ty leave your replies if you have any assumptions or answers.

Edit: wow 2 minutes in and already 1 downvote? I sense instant haters.

  • It's called The Walking Dead because it's canon to the comics, also, AMC gave Activision the license for the TV show, not Kirkman.

  • Gee, I wonder why....

  • They wanted to make use Robert Kirkman's universe and central themes. I'm sure publicity was a factor, as well as art style since Telltale games tend to be pretty cartoony in appearance.

    Survival Instincts was an abomination.

  • If you are going to make stupid thread what people don't like, well, that's why there is the dislike button. "If you don't like it, you just gotta deal with it".

  • I still wished they would have added something to the name, though, so that it was easier to google it. Like "TWD: Redemption".

    ...I know it's a stupid and overused title, but at least it would have fit quite well? Since it was about Lee, a convicted murderer, redeeming himself?

  • OMG damn right, it's just a glitch fest game.

  • what the hell are you talking about? How the hell is this stupid? Please explain to me - because if ANYTHING is stupid, it's your senseless, irrelevant, and USELESS reply.

  • I think I can answer your question with another question.

    Why wouldn't they use that title?

    The success of the other two would spark interest for people looking into the game.

    Success in the game would translate into the other two medias.

    It is just something the series as a whole has been doing, short sweet and to the point. You know what you are getting into even before hearing anything about it.
