The Walking Dead - Season 3

Zero-Cool

Releasing later this year, devs did an interview talking about Season 3

SPOILERS FROM SEASON 1 AND SEASON 2!!!

It sounds like they know they had a lot of different endings at season 2 so instead of giving everyone a custom starting point, they will have a start with a different character that probably witnesses a few different endings and comments on them, my theory anyway.

I just hope Clem is still the main point of the story. I didn't even play the Michonne season yet but I'd probably pick it up asap if I heard Clem was in it.

I'll have to look back and see what options I chose at the end of Season 2 but I remember refusing to go into the compound and me, the baby and Kenny took off into the wilderness. It's mad in the 1st season, I was trying to kill Kenny any chance I could and now we're a tag team. He'll never replace Lee though.

Not interested in another character.

Clem or nothing, Telltale!

Needs more Wolf Among Us season 2 I think

Christ, talk about milking the IP.

Also Season 2 spoilers in OP?

Hence the warning

SPOILERS FROM SEASON 1 AND SEASON 2!!!

Also the story isn't finished, it was open for season 3 at the end.

Oh I absolutely will get Season Three (when all the episodes have been released, so I don't have to wait in between) just based on the ending of #2.

I don't necessarily think they're milking this particular IP, because apparently Michonne was pretty good (?) and 400 Days was a pretty great filler between #1 and #2.

Just played the first episode of the borderlands game and while I liked it I think because Borderlands has more of a open story scope to it, it was better. How did you guys find the walking dead

Some info

Season 3 of the Telltale series is really exciting to me just because the way that the timeline works, season three will actually be getting pretty close to where we are in the comics concurrently, like the books that are coming out now are roughly in the same time frame that season three will be in. There’s a lot of really cool, really exciting things coming that I don’t think people will expect.


I think, similar to the Michonne series, there will probably be some more comic book elements that will be working into things in some interesting ways. I don’t want to reveal too much, but it’ll definitely go hand in hand with the comics a little bit more than season two did.

I finished playing Season 1 a few days ago and it was brilliant to play. You should give it a go.

Will be revealed on Sunday 12th

Oh man, c'mon Telltale, quit holding out!

I'm getting a bit worried about the wording, sounding like you won't be controlling Clem but she'll be involved some way.

Cleeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder what the mark signifies.

Zero-Cool

Also Clem is missing half a finger like someone cut it off.

I wonder whether it follows the events in the comics/TV show and might be the Wolves?

Had no idea it will be available on iOS and Android!!! Awesome!!!

New info on season 3

Also just realised my save file is on ps3 so won't be able to move my decisions. Anyone know of season 2 asked you to pick choices of you haven't played season 1?

If you hadn't played Season 1 or didn't carry over a save etc, Season 2 simply had a set of base choices it would proceed with as if you had played it. I presume it'll be the same for Season 3, if you don't carry over a save, there'll be a standard set of choices it'll pretend you chose.

Like choice matters in a telltale game :pac:

Oh god no. The thought of quick time events on an Android/iPhone seems horrendous.

Aw man, season 2 had a lot of different endings. I'm sure it will wrap them all into a similar starting for season 3 anyway as it looks like some years have passed so I'm sure won't be too bad.

Looking good

New engine better = No stuttering

Interesting new game mechanic

Preorder deal, seems to be the new incentive to preorder. Was the same with Dishonored 2 and South Park

Zero-Cool

Should be the same when preorder goes live on euro store as well so, hopefully.

Yeah telltale games are usually cheaper on Canadian store. And there is a 10% off discount code for the Canadian store this weekend so you'd get it for €18.85 which is a complete bargain

Is there a site for Canadian psn credit other than PC game supply? They only have 20 and 50 cards.

Telltale have outlined how to carry over your save.

My save is on my old PS3 which is gone so just gonna use their questionaire thing to sculpt my journey so far.

https://telltale.com/news/2016/12/how-you-can-get-your-walking-dead-saves-into-season-three/

Start New Story
This is for people who haven’t played The Walking Dead before, or don’t recall their previous experience. In this mode, Season Three starts with a Clementine who has lost everyone from the previous Seasons and is left alone with AJ.


Continue Your Story
If you want to continue with the story you created in Season One and/or Season Two, then we have some options for you.
Option 1 – Story Generator
Inside of Season Three, there is a “story generator” option where we’ll ask you a series of questions that help us hone in on your Clementine. This will select one of 42 different “starting points”, that include not just your ending but also the relationships you had with different characters and the style of player you are.
This was a fascinating thing for us to build and involved us combing through mountains of Walking Dead data and using some fancy data science to figure this out. We’ll be talking more about this, but it was organic and cool. I guess 42 really is the answer to life the universe and everything!
Option 2 – Use your Season Two save game

1. If you’re playing on the same device, and you still have your old Season Two save file, you can import your save. When you start a new game in Season Three, you’ll be automatically prompted to use your Season Two save data.
2. If you want to play on a different device, and still have your old device with Season Two saves. Then we’ve done our best to help you out. We’ve recently updated Season Two (on all platforms) to include Telltale Cloud Saves. You’ll need to update your app, launch Season Two and create a Telltale Account (if you don’t already have one). Then you can enable Cloud Saves and upload your Season Two save to the cloud. When you launch Season Three, you’ll be able to login to your Telltale Account and download the Cloud Save. Then you’re good to go! This is how to migrate your story from one device to another, like moving from PS3 to PS4, or Xbox 360 to Xbox One. It works from any platform to any other platform.

That’s it! We have a video coming out that will also walk people through how to do this in detail. We’ll let you know when that’s available. You can share that too!

Yeah I played season one and two on the 360 and I have them both on ps4 so I dunno if I'll just upload the 360 data or play through again on the ps4

wandatowell

I always hated these types of games. Never had an interest. Picked up Season One on a sale, played it for an hour and still hated it. Again, picked it up out of through boredom with an idea to just power through the game no matter what........but turned out the story was brilliant. Loved Season Two and cannot wait for Season 3.


Happy days!!!!!

Not sure about PS4 but on Xbox if you click free trial you can play it for free with achievements too. The trial is the complete ep.1

Also in related news it's been cancelled on last gen consoles.

dudeeile

On PS4 there is an update for Season 2 that allows you to upload your previous save if you have a Telltale account, you can then add your account and import to Season 3.

This is not the situation on PS4, you can grab the trial but it is not the complete episode.

I answered the questions at the start to carve my playthrough as my saves are on my old ps3, wasn't playing again on ps4. I was expecting way more Q's but got it finishing just how I actually ended it.

SeantheMan

how does it run ?

I am interested in that I completed Walkin Dead 1 and 2 and enjoyed both.

I am very disinterested in the fact that it's the same engine that they are still using.
Batman ran so poorly for me, I'm not sure if I want to play this.
Also...I'm kind of tired of just being TOLD the story and my choices having no real consequences.

Probably a next Xmas or Summer sale jobby for me

Batman was an upgrade to the telltale engine but they semi-quietly ditched last gen support on this and it shows so far. Runs much smoother to my eyes.

I played the trial of this , which was the whole 1st episode and all I can say is if you have telltale fatigue even if you like walking dead forget it. Theres more walking around in this than Batman meaning you are looking for how to progress the story for longer. The story is interesting but not lay your money down on day one good and as for choices I loaded the game 3 times, using my own save and 2 generared on how the last game ended and saw no difference, and one of those choices was a big one.
