Because Episodal development means they can get your money now, give you part of it, and still use your money to fuel the other 4 parts of the game to give you later on.

Never buying like this again, I think next time I will wait for all episodes to be released ..

**** off june dats very vague way were goin be lucky to get 5 by xmas

Zero-Cool · 22-05-2012 9:59am

Yeah, I wish they had a date for each episode. If one is running late fair enough as long as they keep us updated but I don't like this 'every month' and then 'june....' it's too vague.

Ah Max Payne is taking up all my time atm and then Batman DLC is out end of May so that will keep me going till episode 2.

James Howlett · 22-05-2012 10:10am

After seeing the promo for episode 2 at the end of the first episode it looked like they had everything prepared.

It's possible that they didn't expect the popularity they received and are now doing re-writes to include more characters from comics/ tv show in an effort to convert even more Walking Dead comic/ tv show fans into Walking Dead game players.

Was hoping against hope that they might spring he next episode on the PSN today alas no

Will it arrive next week? Time between the episodes is a bit much really.

Surely there cant be 2 months between episodes. Personaly next week is plently late enough

TinCool · 01-06-2012 12:48pm

So it's now June. Anyone turn on their PS3/xbox to check ?

It doesn't give any information regarding dates on the PS3

E3 schedule shows The Walking Dead Episode 2.

Fairly bad to unveil it at e3 when it should already be out by now!

06/06/2012 | 3:20PM - 3:40PM PST - Walking Dead: Episode 2

LH Pathe · 05-06-2012 2:25am

We are heading into two months since EP1 debuted that's twice the wait people woulda guessed at most. Episodic nonsense... within the fortnight else >>>

A few hours to finish, no official word on ep 2 but seems they held it back to get publicity for it at E3 hopefully this week or next.

About 2 hours for the playthrough but you'll most likely want to play it through again to see what changes happen when you change your decisions

Nollog · 05-06-2012 3:59pm

Took me around 2 hours too, the choices are timed though, so you have only a small amount of time to think as you make choices.
It would be longer, but not as good a game if they didn't have the timer.

HigginsJ · 06-06-2012 5:33pm

Still no sign of it. Roll on next wednesday

Silence/making no choice is an option sometimes too!

Zero-Cool · 07-06-2012 9:08am

Well Walking Dead mad it's appearance at E3 last night. You can see an interview and vid below but I don't watch a second of what might happen in ep 2.

I can't find a release date though? Anyone here anything?

EDIT: After some looking around, looks like the release date wasn't announced. At least people are letting Telltale know how they feel on twitter. Really not good enough.

HigginsJ · 11-06-2012 2:03pm

Jst downladed software ver. 1.01 (17mb), part of it is to do with trophy carryover from episodes. Hopefully finished touches for the next episode this week

HigginsJ · 12-06-2012 7:38pm

In work so cant put up link but Telltale's facebook update today

"we are about to submit to Microsoft & Sony and if everything goes well, episode 2 will be available before the end of the month"

:mad: sigh :mad:

Local-womanizer · 13-06-2012 1:44am

Played and finished episode 1 today, absolutely brilliant.

ffs end of the meaning 27th for xbox, I'll buy this one but if they are as late with part 3 they can kiss my coin good bye :mad:

TinCool · 13-06-2012 9:07am

End of the month ? ... feck. Least I have MP3 to make my way through in the mean time.

SeantheMan · 16-06-2012 12:59am

Finished it today , really enjoyed it

They did a great job.....I'm actually considering playing "Back to the Future" now,
I bought that when it came out, and didn't make it past the first episode...got bored...(and BTTF is my 3rd fave film ever ! )

WarZoneBrother · 16-06-2012 4:10pm

The main word in that tweet is IF ... There not saying it will be out by the end of the month... Absolutely ridiculous if they don't include something free for us Season Pass buyers they will never be getting my money again..

I mean the fact that they had that trailer at the end of the 1sr one and all I assumed everything was good to go, all of the later eps were named and that all they needed was finishing touches if anything, yet here we are two months later and they are spouting "ifs" :mad:

Way to ruin any momentum this game had TellTale :mad: :mad: :mad:

Simple fact here is they released the 1st game too early to cover the cost of making the rest imo ( in my suspicious opinion lol )

Corkfeen · 22-06-2012 9:58pm

We'll surely see the next episode at some point next week. Bit of an annoying wait but rather interested to see where it goes....

I forgot what I even did in the first episode. Anyone know if you can bring up thst recap and stats screen you get at the the end of the episide

There is supposed to be a 'Previously on The Walking Dead' scene at the opening of the episode. I'll be honest, i've started to forget the character's names at this point. :pac:

kessler182 · 23-06-2012 2:09pm

Bought and finished episode 1 today, epic is all I can say. Can't wait for the next one.

WarZoneBrother · 23-06-2012 5:42pm

So how many of you are expecting it to be out on Wednesday? Personally I can't see it happen and if it is not out Tell Tale Games can kiss my money goodbye... By now we should be approaching the launch of the 3rd Episode not awaiting confirmation of when the 2nd Episode is out...

Zero-Cool · 23-06-2012 7:29pm

If it goes to July then Tell tale are taking the piss. They are releasing vids on facebok about the behind the scenes and different interviews but all the comments are 'where the f*ck is episode 2!!'. and rightly so. We at least deserve some response even if it is delayed further. I paid for the season pass to get an episode every month!

Kiith · 23-06-2012 7:55pm

I'm so glad i've not played the 1st episode yet. With these waits, i think i'll wait till they are all released.

If they delay it again, surely they will give us some extras to go along with season pass owners anyways.. Does anyone else think they could throw in Back to the Future for us to play?.. Maybe it will keep us happy untill the launch of new episodes?

What sort of game is this, survival horror?

Hmmmmm with a dollop of point and click too I'd say, after playing it again I feel myself wanting to say this would have been better played on a tablet as opposed to my xbox

Zero-Cool · 24-06-2012 11:27am

Mad comments from peopple on the facebook page and one of them pointed t the link below on the official forums where one of the mods gives an email address to write to if you want a refund for your season pass.

http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30449&page=2

I don't want a refund as I'd still buy the episodes when they come out, but it's looking dodgy for a Wednesday release. Unless they are going to release episode 2 and 3 together.

Canis Lupus · 24-06-2012 12:43pm

It's not really a game imo. It's more of an interactive movie with some point and clicking puzzle solving (but plain and simple puzzles) but based on ep1 it's def worth a look. It's very very good.

Nollog · 24-06-2012 1:44pm

Ah the joys of episodic games.

They shouldn't have given you a timeline at all.

Yep. We'll have Half Life Episode 3 any minute now...

But I'm waiting for the whole thing to be released before I get it, so at this rate I'll have plenty of time to kill.

Burning Eclipse · 25-06-2012 10:25am

I have to say this delay is quite disappointing, and now that Calex has put it down in words, it strikes me that this would have worked better on a tablet.

That being said, I still really enjoyed the first episode, and will almost certainly buy the second episode when it eventually comes out.

WarZoneBrother · 25-06-2012 6:19pm

If I got refund would they deactivate episode 1? If not everyone should get refund and rebuy them as they come?

Zero-Cool · 25-06-2012 6:23pm

No point in getting a refund, for me anyway, as you get one episode free. Would cost me more t get a refund and buy them seperately.

How are my balls feeling Telltale??

Speaking of telltale and going off topic, I'm looking to get CSI Fatal Conspiracy for PS3 but can't find it anywhere, anyone play it?

Eggy Baby! · 26-06-2012 12:23am

Really like this song from the game:

James Howlett · 26-06-2012 3:16pm

This week's xbla release schedule from 360achievements.org suggests that we won't be seeing episode two this week either:
