If you’ve interacted with society at some point over the past two years, there is little doubt that you have at least heard of The Walking Dead. The franchise has been alive and flourishing in the comic book industry since 2003, but has only recently reached pop culture mega-star OMGWTF status within the past two years due to the AMC television series. While the TV series shows no signs of slowing its unrelenting charge into future seasons, Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead franchise, saw fit to let their brand be developed in another form of media, the almighty video game. Thank God.
This is the realist you’ll ever see us. Come hang out and talk Telltale with us. We wanna know your thoughts! Leave us comments!
Talking Telltale is a weekly Podcast/Videocast. Coming soon to iTunes!
Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
When downloading the last episode I noticed it says "End of Season One" So here's hoping we get more!
it was good, but no... i don't think it was game of the year.
It shouldn't be up for GotY since it is barely a game. More of an interactive movie/show as are the rest of the Telltale games.
It's a decent entertainment experience, but surely not the best video game of the year.
Then please tell. What is your GOTY?
After the last episode I have to say no. It left you hanging completely, and the last episode wasn't the best.....
If the last episode took episode 4 and expanded on it and kept it as intense, then yeah I'd vote for it. How it stands, its an unfinished story till season 2 starts....
