Telltale Games

Congratulations!!! I was one of the early buyers...

BTW, when will you guys announce the pre-order contest winners?

Well done guys! You deserved it. I hope you keep experimenting with ways to evolve the genre. It's an exciting time to be a Telltale-fan.

Cool, now bring BttF to 360.

You more then earned the success. "The Walking Dead" is the perfection of everything you guys have learned from your previous titles and it shows. Amazing characters, fantastic story on par with the Comics (and certainly better then the AMC series...) and really great intuitive gameplay mechanics. An easy Five out of Five. Can't wait for Episode 2 (though I am dreading the choices I might have to make...)

Excited to see Telltale is back to form. Was getting concerned there after the *insert unmentionable film IP here* fiasco.

I'm pleased to be part of the supporters for this.

What episode 2 in JUNE!!!

JUNE!!!!!! WTF?????????

hey guys,

congrats, you deserve this success. i really enjoyed your game, it´s really close to the comicbook.
i also get my wife interested in the game, and that means a lot.

was the june release planned like that or is it because of a delay?

It's some serious BS that the next episode doesn't come out until June, when it CLEARLY states in the description of the game download both on XBL and PSN that they are "to be released monthly". So someone buys the package deal on PSN for all 5 episodes in order to save 5 bucks, and the release dates aren't kept as promised? Maybe this is why I didn't see the option to buy all 5 episodes in advance on XBL because they foresaw this very problem? I love the game but don't tell me it's going to be monthly if it's going to take two months between releases. :/

Why are we being forced to wait until June!!!??? And can we get a schedule for release dates?

Do those 1 million episodes sold equal 200.000 sold seasons, or were there actually 1 million people who bought either episode 1 or the full season?

What a joke.......so far the game, for me, is marginal at best.

Great game but you told us there was going to be an episode every month and now it is coming out in Junes...... :( lame. I can tell you I have been real excited about the next episode and now I have to wait.........very very very sad day:(

June wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=O A month is already long as it is. now its gonna be two months)=

Gs can use not make it a bit earlyer

*than crap today.

I have a sinking suspicion that the June tba date is part of a plan to release the last episode when the next season of the show starts up. Understandable but a bit underhanded.

June which year?

I both loved and hated this first episode. I honestly didn't like that I had to choose who would live and die. Well, we didn't get to see much effect of the greyzone things. Like who you where siding with, who you cared for and stuff like that. Maybe we will see more effect of that later on. Now that I was honest with Hearshall and he came to trust me, I can't actually see how that can matter for the rest of the game consider that he blamed me because his son got killed.

Episode 1 was released around April. Then Episode 2 is going to be released on June? Why not in May? Is TellTale Games lazy as a hell?

Horrible business if your going to lie to your customers, dont be a bank.

I love the series and this game. I liked not following Ricks crew but getting to see Hershel and Glen. The way episode 1 ended was good also. I don't mind the wait since this should put the last episode in September I think. The new season starts in October. This game will help me get my "dead" fix until the next season starts. Great job.

JERKS, money eating jerks. Can we get some release dates? Am I paying you to lie to me?

So who do we have to talk to for a refund??? i bought the season pass that stated a new episode each month... not only is TTG pissing off the customer with sub-par customer service (that in most jobs, would have you shit canned) its also FALSE ADVERTISMENT ( which usually leads to some sort of civil suit in court). Just based on this false advertisment, I for 1, will not be purchasing anymore tittles from Tell Tale Games. QUIICK MATH LESSON FOR TELL TALE GAMES April 24th + 1Month = May 24th

I hope they release it on the 1st of June, since I have been checking the PSN Store daily for the last week :)

Hey, everyone complaining that the late release date is unacceptable, shut up. You just can't handle the fact that the game may have needed some extra testing. Perhaps you forget that gaming isn't the same as an office job. If they had stated that the game would come out on a specific date, then your complaints would be valid, but if they don't give a date, you can't hold them overtly accountable. Sure, it's going to suck that I have to wait a little longer than expected to play through the rest of the game, but it's 20$ for all the episodes on the season pass, or 25$ if you buy them one episode at a time. Besides, how many other games have had their release date pushed back MONTHS for one reason or another?

And money grubbing? You guys are idiots... You pay 5$ LESS for future access to everything... Yeah, they clearly gouged you guys. I mean, how else could you explain that they WILL give you what you paid for, in a timely fashion. Hell, this could be a marketing ploy for the TV series. (I almost expected them to release each episode to correspond with the Issue release dates for the Graphic Novel/Comic.) Quit complaining and just WAIT! You already knew it was going to be long, a couple extra weeks isn't going to kill you.

TTG, I am sorry for all the irate gamers who can't handle a push back, a marketing idea, or whatever it is. Sometimes, I'm not surprised the Gamer stereotype is still pretty strong, and depressing.

Unfortunately this is what people are like today.they think they should have everything when they demand it.grow up and wait patiently.like the guy a few posts up said, you already waited for four weeks wait a bit longer and quit crying.this is whats wrong with the world today and unfortunately why most of the world hates the west.

Im glad to see that these comments turned around in the end. I was getting frustrated with 90% of these people. You can tell they have nothing better to do than to sit and become furious apes when something doesn't go their way. If you can't wait an extra few weeks for them to release what looks to be like an amazing episode 2, don't bother playing it.

First of all, all of you stating for others to shut up and stop voicing their annoyance - STFU! People are allowed to complain when they have paid in advance for something, and it's release is delayed! They may not have stated a specific date, but did state it would be monthly, and you have to go searching around the internet to find out it has been delayed. I am on their fb page, and no notice saying anything has ever appeared.

I don't mind waiting for a quality product, I do mind not being told I have to wait. Whether on their fb page, or through the ps store, or whatever place you bought it from, we should have been informed.

i understand both sides, one dont mind a few extra weeks, if dont get a under par game, but either the lack of planning or trouble with testing (i happens, deal with) has got these people upset. if it were my company i would try to have at least one on the shelve and at least one in development, so i would have time if problems or should i say when ( murphy's law ) arise. for me just glad to be getting my zombie fix.

Capitalism! do you need a definition? why bother with these kids let them hit their own walls and they'll learn and if not then it wasn't meant to be and we'll keep birthing capitalist babies who are beyond self-centered and run on pure material infatuations. I mean to get so worked up over something so minuscule just boggles my mind. Kids elsewhere can't effing eat and you are pouring your soul out into something that will fade from your memory banks eventually (not taking anything away from the game, i really enjoy playing it).........

I do agree with both sides, yet it is purely unacceptable to not be informed of delays.So to all you telltale loyalists who think you're the fucking Aryans of this world: poor business practice warrants complaints, if we all just rolled over nothing would get done. Actually now that I think about it I completely agree with the complainers: telltale fucked up, they should at least have the courtesy to notify the respective game dealers/info sites that it's delayed, instead of leaving us hanging.

Cheers!

When is the next episode be avilable?

As a diehard Walking Dead fan, this is kinda messed up. I paid $25 or so with the idea in mind that you can create a 3 hour long episode in a month's span. How difficult can that be? Why wasn't the game simply finished before this? It's far from a graphical marvel, and you already have the gameplay engine set up. It's a matter of just getting it done, your game company has NOTHING that will ever be nearly as popular as this. Hell the game could have been trash and reached the top of the charts simply because it's part of the Walking Dead franchise.

Let's get a real game company to finish this on time.

I WILL NEVER BUY A TELLTALE GAME AGAIN!! LEARN TO STICK WITH DEADLINES....OR TELL YOUR BUYER WHAT'S GOING ON. WHAT A FRAUD!!! EVERY MONTH.....LIES!!!!

This sucks got up this mourning looking for ep. 2 and found out its gonna be june!!!!?????- Wtf???????!!!!!!

great game. stupid everything else. waiting a month in between is a lot. then you scam us by making us wait 2 months. good job! you just took a big sh't on your reputation in my eyes. last thing im ever buying from you guys..........................

As much as I do not want to be another one of the complainers here, I have to be! Not like this "Joe G" guy a few comments up. "Go to Jail"?? what a jack ass! Anyway, I am in the boat with the rest of you. I paid for a game and was promised that game in a timely manner. This is not happening. I love the first episode, and I agree that I do not want a game that is sub-par, but I also do not want to do business with a company that takes their customers money and runs! This is the Telltale Games Forum so I hope they are reading these..... I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM YOU AGAIN. Since I have already spent the money here, I will finish playing it, but after that TTG can shove it up their asses!!!!

Good Day!

People, I'm pretty sure this is just a minor setback, the second part'll most likely be released within the first week of June, if not less. The third will most probably be released in June aswell and will continue on schedule. I don't get why people jump to such drastic measures and label them as scammers and con-artists, if only there was millions of other things you could be doing during this short period, such as playing something else or socializing, but that would be making sense now, wouldn't it?

i want refund....

Sooooo...

We going to get episode 2 this year or not?
Its June now, it was said to be released monthly. If you keep going back on deadlines your not giving yourselves any good reputation. It would be fine if you at least tell consumers there's going to be a delay, but you haven't. Since there's apparently no reason for episode 2 not coming out in may, where is it?

I'll wait the rest of the day for a release but if it's not here, i wont be buying the rest of these episodes as if it keeps up like this the franchise won't end til December. Tell tale, if you make deadlines and promises to your fans and consumers. Keep them.

I was looking forward to this..
I feel sorry for the people who have paid for them all in advance, i'm paying for mine one at a time; more expensive i know but this is the sorta problem i was worried about.
Very bad service! No-one has any word of release dates as it is, all we knew was "One per Month" and now you're not even keeping your word on that???
Geez..

You are all so craptastic! It's been delayed, the game was good, the game WILL come out eventually. Just calm your faces, go play Diablo 3 and just wait. It's not like the game isn't going to come out like Duke Nukem took. For crying out loud people, it's just a game. It's going to be just as entertaining if it takes 3 months to come out. So from the mouth of Snoop Dogg "So just chill, 'til the next episode"!

The worst part is they didn't tell their season passers about the delay, let alone apologise, let alone give a damn good reason why people shouldn't seek refunds for the defaulted promise of monthly releases. I hope Telltale are getting serious flak into their emails because this is shocking and illegal.

Comment by Bert"

I bet you play cod

Yes

Any ETA for episode 2 on pc?

So WTF ist Episode 2????? I´m waiting and Waiting and Waiting! Please make it Online I want to know what happend in Episode 2. Sorry for Bad English German is my real Language :D

I dont mind waiting on the second seaon if they are trying to get it right but just let people no when is a release date because everyone who got the season pass was told the seasons would be monthly and now we are nearly at season 3!

I like the part where the game says hershels son will remember that, and then no matter what he dies in the next 30 seconds of the game.

gotta love some people,
it's like they think a game has never been late before.
Can defiantly tell alot about people when they complain about stuff thats a little late. Their gonna need help later in life when they learn nearly everything is late. Hope they don't take the bus .

Also to those who are complaining, the game came out last week of April so is waiting till early June really that bad?

Either way great game, looking forward to the later episodes and as long as they keep up the same standard don't mind when they come out. Would rather wait and play a good polished game over a game which was rushed to make a deadline.

Also are there any plans for future episodes beyond 5?

Thanks again for an excellent game.

So happy I bought this game - it is really my cup of tea...

I think people are missing the point about some of the comments.

Yes, games are late.
Yes, movies get released late.
Yes, new cars are shipped late.
Everything can be late...but most (the most customer friendly and the companies that desire to build up a relationship with their customers because they know that they don't get paid unless customers pay them) revise release dates...update consumers on when exactly the new shipping date is...even if they have to change it every week they do it...AND give a reason.

It doesn't appear that anyone from TTG is interested in building customer relations...they already made their money off of us and now are taking their time and not really caring. Perhaps the days spent at E3 could have gotten the product shipped just that much faster.

It's not the end of the world if something is provided late...but a reason AND a new projected date (including the day...not just a 30 day period) is the usual norm.

I love Blizzard games...sadly they are well known for pushing back release dates over and over again...but at least it keeps the consumer informed of what is going on...and that is for products not sold yet. TTG already sold us a product and now is failing to give it to us with no explaination. If you ordered a steak and the waiter said it would be 15 minutes...and you wait 2 hours and still get nothing...not even a lame excuse, most of you would demand the meal for free AND never dine there again...

Its all about customer relations...

While I don't agree with 'the hate', I agree with being upset and disappointed at a breach of contract (delivering promised goods/services upon the agreed upon time). And for those saying to 'wait it out', we have a contract. If they want to update us, keep us informed, so we can make our own decision, that would be one thing. However, TTG is falling in with other business that think they can mistreat their customers and suffer no repercussions. This slipping level of standards is letting 'business' as a whole puts us in the position of being just another piece of their delivery model instead of being valued customers. Customers wouldn't have put up with this 30 years ago, but standards have been sliding ever since.

The only way this changes is if customers speak their mind with their dollars. If you are unsatisfied enough, demand a refund. If that doesn't work, sue -- and I'm not advocating everyone go out and sue TTG, I'm saying that you are responsible individually with what you do with your dollars and how much you value them (especially in these time). If you really care, incessantly whining here does nothing for you: you need to act.

I hope they come through soon. If they don't, I hope they offer an explanation and remedy. If they don't, I plan to act. And I plan to act within the two month anniversary. I think that's fair enough. And I'm planning on continuing this going forward, not only with TTG but others as well. Maybe if people wake up and start to act, we can turn this situation around, not only with TTG, but every other company that takes advantage of its customers with shoddy service and/or products.

The episodes are far too short to have such a long period of waiting. I am not hating, I am really disappointed. But may be we have to calculate this through. If a game like Diablo 3 with more than 50 h play time took almost 12 years, and Duke Nukem Forever with nearly 5h took 15 years, than a game with only 2 h game time will simply take forever!

tl;dr: playtime time down, dev time up

Dear TellTale bloggy people,

You should have more updates! Keep us posted! That's what most of us are pissed about.. not about the delay, just about being kept in the dark! I think you could take 2 minutes out of your busy schedule to update your fans! You're slowly losing customers :( But congrats on all the sales. Waiting, impatiently (lol) for the next episode! I hope after that you can get them out monthly :)
You better come out with a very heart-felt apology after it's finally released!!!! lol

Love from, a fan.

Fuck you telltale just fuck you! I swear i am not going to buy any more games from telltale...

That is how i feel right now, i am really mad.
Like many others i feel ignored, no official reason to why we are waiting so long for 3 hours of game play.

Oh wait i get it, Telltale need 1 month for each hour...

Walking dead forever?

we will all be zombies by the time episode 2 arrives.
