Anyone else itching to play Episode 3? Am hoping for an announcement this week!

Don't hold your breath man, Telltale said last week that they are almost finished the episode and will then be sending it to MS and Sony for approval. They also said they will be keeping us up to date unlike before and that middle of August doesn not mean 15th August exactly :rolleyes:

I'd say the epsiode will be finished this week and it will take a week or 2 to be approved. I see another delay for Sony users and Sony take longer to approve things.

Not too pushed as Sleeping Dogs is out Friday and will be keeping me well busy until Episode 3 is out.

As long as it isn't quite so buggy as Episode 2 was! I'd rather wait a little longer for a glitch-free experience.

Zero-Cool · 14-08-2012 8:49am

The global stats are out for Episode 2. Very close on

stealing the food

part.

Crap, this video really makes me want to play Episode 3 right now!

Don't you all get the global comparitive stats and the end of play anyways ?

Also, Can I advise you "SPOILER" that video, as it contains soooo much spoilers and ruins basically the whole episode for anyone who has yet to play it

Yeah, but now everyone has had plenty of time to play through it so you get a better picture of it.

SeantheMan · 14-08-2012 11:13am

Still needs a poiler alert for it though man.
I'd go mental if I watched that before playing it, basically telling you every possible choice and plotline in the episode

The start of the video is a GIANT SPOILER WARNING

SeantheMan · 14-08-2012 12:26pm

It's the tempation for idiots like myself to click on it though.
Spoilers placed in front of you are a like the forbidden fruit !

On topic - is there any update to the release of the 3rd episode ?
They "COULD" stretch it out longer than 5 in fairness , if it's making good money, there is no actual need to end it at all

No update on the 3rd episode yet but they have confirmed they will be working on a 2nd season which is just brilliant!

SeantheMan · 14-08-2012 3:39pm

They need to bring The Governor into it if possible,

A 2nd Season! Yikes

Getting a bit ahead of themselves, give us the first 5 episodes with fixed release dates, and we will talk about buying the 2nd season then. :pac:

YES!!!!

Episode 3 had a trophy called 'Welcome to Woodbury' but the latest update with Episode 2 removed that trophy. Don't know why unless they decided to go a different direction or the trophy was a spoiler or something.

If he does come into it, I can't see the game going as far as they did in the comics, althrough they have shown some mental stuff so far.

SeantheMan · 14-08-2012 5:23pm

Well he's in the new series coming to TV, and so is Michonne, so it's all lining up to go down that road

, though considering how much time was spent on the farm (10 episodes about) which equated to about 7 comics or so, the prison was about 30-40 comics :P ...so it may be a long time coming.

Zero-Cool · 14-08-2012 8:36pm

There is no way in hell they will show the scene you're thinking about in in the tv show

The creator behind the tv show was asked about it already and he keeply avoided the question by saying the best thing about the tv show is how they can make it different from the comic. It's a pity the tv show is so watered down compared to the comic and now game.

Mr. K · 23-08-2012 10:54pm

Ooh arr, Episode 3 is on the horizon: http://ie.ign.com/articles/2012/08/23/walking-dead-episode-3-as-soon-as-next-week

F1ngers · 27-08-2012 10:12pm

Episode 3 trailer, spoiler alert.

Tempting though.

Seriously sick of the delays with Sony Europe.

Burning Eclipse · 28-08-2012 9:41am

Points are waiting in my account for this. Episode 2 was brilliant, but I played it the moment it came out and experienced some bugs with it... Thinking I might be better served by waiting a few days this time...

nah...
