The Walking Dead Season 2 (Games)

I like how the "key features" only have one real feature listed (-Decisions you made in Season One and in 400 Days will affect your story in Season Two). The rest of those items are not features :P

[Arrowstormen]

Yeah, I know the show only ever skips a season or two, but never a whole year.

Here's hoping Clem isn't all hardened and pessimistic.

That's what we get to choose!

I shall take all the pessimistic choices! "The Slayer of Joy" has arrived!

Playing as Clementine is a feature. The others, perhaps not.

I wouldn't consider a player character to be a feature. I mean, I never saw "Play as Cloud!" listed as a feature in FF7.

Depends on the game. Since we know Clementine and she was a main character in TWD, it can be considered a feature. Features just means included, which it is.

That would be because no one knew who Cloud was before FF7. But I did see "play as Cloud" listed as one of the few reasons to ever touch the game Ehrgeiz. And "play as Vincent" for Dirge of Cerberus.

Comming soon my ass!

Oh, looks like we can already pre-order season 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/26...snr=1_4_4__106

Read somewhere that the first episode would be out before the end of the year, don't know if that's true, but it seems likely, since they'd probably have said "coming in 2014" or something if that was the case.

It's not even remotely the same. One is a game about making choices and dialogue in a post apocalyptic setting where the focus is the character interactions, and the other is a horror franchise that, true to the fact that it's horror, has unreasonably many sequels that doesn't exactly get much better for every new installment, killing whatever mystery the series may have had and beating it's dead corpse.

While I love The Walking Dead and Resident Evil alike (one being one of the best, if not THE best, game of last year and the other being one of my most played game series since the 90ies), it is unfair to say that Resident Evil has killed the mystery of the series with many sequels. Resident Evil has never really had any mystery to it, because Resident Evil really cleared up most of the confusion behind the general universe, then following games have just expanded on the premise. The game has become more action orientated, but it is rather hard to transfer the 90ies gameplay into a modern game world by retaining the classic RE core combat intention with making it a horror game.

That said, I think Resident Evil Revelations and Leon's Campaign in RE6 has done a good job at going back to the creepy atmospheres and the nostalgic feeling of the first REs.

As for The Walking Dead... it is completely different, as was said, but it is a more thought-based game which works amazingly well with that setting. :P

Coming soon... why oh why do you tease us Telltale, just give us a date at least.

[McNeil]

Now this is a game I'd seriously get excited for, really loved season one of the game. The 400 days DLC didn't do that much for me trough.

Not sure if I'll like playing as Clementine. If your gonna fail the QTE with Clementine.... expect horrible death scenes with a small girl?

More incentive not to fuck up!

I will enjoy going through this game at first, my good person save. Then I will enjoy being an asshole in my asshole person save.

What about those who haven't played the first season not through steam? I kind of "pirated.." TWD 1, doubt they're going to remember my actions ;P

[Wynnyelle]

Excited for this! I hate waiting for new episodes to come out though, so I will likely wait until all of them are out before actually playing the game, which means I'll have to wait even longer for it. If it's as good as the first season though, it'll be well worth the wait!

[Doylez]

I was kind of hoping we'd get to play as a badass adult zombiekiller Celementine 10 years into the future.
Instead it's the annoying kid Clementine again :/
Oh well, maybe next season.

I don't know, given the decay rate we see in the show I don't think the walkers would actually last that long. I mean, given certain spoilers there will always be walkers, but the danger they present is mostly due to their overwhelming numbers and they just wouldn't be much of a threat when the majority of them are piles of barely animated bones.

Release date is up on steam now, 17th December.

I've got the 18th on mine (Australia) but after the fallout troll I'll wait till I hear something from telltale...

[KCguy]

I'm all over this.
