So.

Rumor has it that on one's second playthrough, a "mysterious alley" appears on the city map, where one can find an extra psychic power.

How exactly does one find this alley? I've started up a second playthrough but so far have noticed nothing new, on my map or otherwise.

Edit...

Hmm ya know what I think I may know where it could be....

You know that one street where you first get Girl Stinky's cell phone? Maybe its through that door that doesnt seem to do anything

Please don't reply to hint requests with useless uninformed speculation. :mad:

Okay now I'm curious about this. I started a second playthrough but so far I haven't found anything.

Same here. I'm also going through the Did You Try list. So far...nothing.

Maybe it's a PS3 exclusive.

edit: No, that doesn't make sense. I learned about this from Avel's post here (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=290203&postcount=16), and Avel seems to have played it on a computer.

I PMed Avel about it. I'm hoping he can get a bit more specific.

After you've finished the game, a message pops up telling you about the new map location that you've unlocked. On your second playthough, there should be a location marked "MYSTERIOUS ALLEY (http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae208/sjmck/IMG_0508.jpg)". If you don't have that location on your map in your second playthrough, then perhaps you quit the game before it was unlocked. You didn't quit before the credits finished rolling, did you?

Definitely not. I remember it going back to the menu screen.

What items do you have to combine together to activate that location?

I believe this is PS3 specific at the moment.

Shoot! Are there any PC-exclusives?

Yeah, no "location unlocked" pop-ups (no pop-ups in general, PC version doesn't have trophy's/achievements/thingamabobs).

Intrigued by "at the moment" though...

Yeah, I just mentioned in another thread the possibility of this feature maybe being available on the DVD when it's released...

I'd hate to think that I'd miss out on it.

It's quite annoying that such a potentially cool bonus feature would be a PS3 exclusive.
What it suggests to me is that Telltale's primary focus these days has shifted to the console market.

Which really disappoints me, as I'm a die-hard PC gamer. I'd been pleased that Telltale had thus far catered so well to the PC platform when other, bigger companies had virtually abandoned it. Oh well...

Yeah, that surprised me. Achievement system is something that can be done on PC as well.

I find it disappointing too... but I do not think that suggest TTG has changed their focus on console gamers.. not when us PC players still get special treatment like all the preorder bonuses and the free dvd (loaded with all the special content) at the end of the season... in fact I wouldn't be shocked if it will be on the DVD seems like an easy bonus.

It unlocks an alley(very small area) where you can get the "Nutrition Specs" glasses.
There is even a trophy to unlock : you have to reveal a secret object. I still don't know what it is!
I have tried the glasses in the restaurant and it analyses the food, the aquarium, the pie, Stinky. It gives the composition of the element you analyse. It's pretty fun. There is some addditional dialogue.
I'm glad I bought it on PS3.

For those wondering how to get this on PC, I'm sure Telltale will unlock it at some point. Remember ToMI when they unlocked a special mode? I'm sure they will do the same.

You guys may be interested in this thread (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16257).

We'll probably be able to unlock the Nutrition Specs whenever this (http://www.telltalegames.com/516vision) page properly goes live. It'd make sense since the advert (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbI0O1BMhOI) tells you to go there to order Future Vision with the Nutrition Specs included for free.

Indeed.

Hello all

We really do not have any mission to drive individuals to buy the games multiple times in multiple ways (not to say that we'd discourage this ;) )

Sometimes, an add-on feature opportunity becomes available in one place ... which isn't to say that it won't also be available later in another place.

We do our best to deliver as much fun and value as possible where ever we can!

- Joel, Telltale

Oh, don't you go all Ubisoft on us, Telltale! :D

I find this quite fair, to be honest. Those who pre-ordered from Steam got hats on TF2, Ps3 owners got a secret location..
..And we, who bought the game directly from Telltale, will get a DVD. :D Makes sense.

But yes, I wouldn't mind having at least the secret location becoming available to all of us.. sometime ;)
