Episode 3 release dates: PSN NA, XBOX, PC/MAC out NOW, Steam Aug 29th (by 6pm PDT)!

[Vainamoinen]

RELEASE DAY EDIT
========================================

Episode 3 release dates below. See you on the other side!

PSN NA: Out now
PSN EU: TBA
Xbox: Out now
PC/Mac/Steam: Aug 29th, by 6pm PST (US west coast time)

========================================



All right, that last one was a bit ill-fated. :(

No prizes this time, unless someone steps in to provide any. Virtual crown to the winners instead and the undying respect of the community (AND the developers of course). We're still voting for the PC/Mac version here primarily... but we could well call the console date guessers winners just like last time. ;)

And who knows, it COULD be a simultaneous release after all! :eek:

Good luck everyone.

[ruairi46]

Is there a poll or just random quessing if so. the week of august 27

[aDeadManWonderland]

Tomorrow.

[Dildor]

august 29

[Vainamoinen]

Getting those votes together took a while. Seems like you submit the thread first, then add the gigapoll. And I had to do it twice because I fucked up. The poll is up now though!!!

Tomorrow.

Should have added that option. I wonder why I didn't? :D

[Gabriel_Mines]

do you think episode two is as dark as it's going to get or is it the tip of the iceberg?

[Holiday on Matul]

What happened to July? No need it add it though, I don't think there's much chance of a July release. August 31st. With the EU version sometime in September.

[aDeadManWonderland]

Should have added that option. I wonder why I didn't? :D

*whispers* just think about it, I never said "tomorrow, July 2nd". Everyday someone reads my post, they'll think I meant tomorrow from the day they're reading it. The game will eventually come out "tomorrow", so I can't fail :D

[Vainamoinen]

You would have failed on release day again though.

What happened to July?

Mere stupidity. Fixed it... :D


/edit: Oh boy, youz votin' LATE! ;)

[aDeadManWonderland]

You would have failed on release day again though.

Hey uhh...this $10 bill says that this thread might have an "accident" and disappear on release day.


If ya know what I'm sayin'. *winkwinknudgenudge*

[Vainamoinen]

Bribe a mod? ....welllll, 10$ ain't enough. :o

All right, where's Harrison to cast his vote? Admin vote always cracks up the whole thing. :D

[TMLC]

Man, I got worried about these options.

Was hopping for the end of July (and ready to accept a middle August if they wanted to work more at the graphics and correct bugs), but with all this August and September options…

Just don’t have the same hope anymore. :(

[TellTallDoNotDoThisAgain]

It's out by the end of next month. I Hope

[Balisong123]

Seriously doubt they will delay episode 3 for a month as well, guys. They were merely having problems with Microsoft. The odds of that happening again are low, all jokes aside. I'm guessing the 27th, or 28th. Not sure why there isn't an option for the 28th, but eh :D

[Gratefully Dead]

I'm guessing mid-August. Mainly since it says periodically now and not what it used to. I'll give'm a 2-3 week buffer.

[HolyWalkersBatman]

Hopefully by the second coming of the Moshiach haha.

[CapnJay]

my birthday is august 29th so how about ep 4 on that day. Actually I hope EP3 is next month so I know that TTG is getting our feedback and using some of it

[Gman5852]

I went for late July, hoping that Telltale can get back on track with the whole "monthly" thing.

[Zeruis]

Going for August 30.

[Holiday on Matul]

Mere stupidity. Fixed it... :D


/edit: Oh boy, youz votin' LATE! ;)

No worries, I've done the same thing myself, infact I have a K-Pop calendar in front of me that has 2 Junes and no July.
Yep I'm guessing late, hope I'm way out, but I still don't have Ep 2 so I'm quietly confident.

[zerodemon]

I put August 17th, which is my birthday, so that would be a nice gift.

Can this thread please not devolve in to nonsense.

[-Anna-]

Here we go again... ;__;

I'm going with late August.

[Dildor]

I got the 27th. Here's to hoping they release it in July.

[Boppin Machine]

Is it time again for: I WILL NOT BUY EPISODE 3 WHEN IT COMES OUT!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!

I wonder how many of the people who said that about episode 2 actully didn't buy episode 2..

Anyway.. episode 3 comes out when it comes out. Better for telltale to take the time they need. I dont whant episode 3 tomorrow just to get crap.

[Istibul]

Anyway.. episode 3 comes out when it comes out.
Smells like Valve time.

[mulvad]

what dose it matter? by the time we get the third episode filled with bugs my grandchildren will be dying of old age... and I am 20 years old!!!!

[-Anna-]

What do people think about The Walking Dead episodes being completed by 2013? The company has six months to complete three episodes. I think Telltale just have enough time. (Though, I worry for EU PS3 customers in regards to release dates.)

[donmike84]

i say based on the preverious release date i say 27 and 29th of july there never released at the same time

[toothiersnow]

i say based on the preverious release date i say 27 and 29th of july there never released at the same time

the previous release date being a month later than expected? surely that should make your guess 27th and 29th of august? :P my guess will probably be the same from now on, whenever the hell its ready! theres been absolutely no word at all on whether or not TTG are going to continue trying to release monthly, and the wording change from monthly to periodically gives me thought to the contrary, HOWEVER, im always open to being surprised in a positive manner, so i hope you are right lol

[aDeadManWonderland]

Smells like Valve time.

No Team Fortress 3, No Half Life 3, No Left 4 Dead 3, and finally...

No Walking Dead Episode 3.

Darn it, Gabe.

[iamhere]

i say july 25, it seems to me it keeps comeing out on a wednsday (for xbox at least) but i be more then happy if it come out early :P

[ZombieGoBoom]

I just what to play and complete all five episodes before the actual zombie apocalypse starts.

Seriously, however I don't mind waiting so that TTG can get it done right. There is nothing worse than playing a game that you can see that was completely rushed.

[Merc]

It begins

[Milosuperspesh]

lets see how long it takes for this thread to be derailed ;)

i say the sensible july 27th lol i can only hope !

[The_Jesus_12489]

Has there been any information on episode 3 yet? Don't wanna start assuming something like last episode.

[shaunlynes]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A19uYzr35Y

check out the trailer breakdown and leave feedback of what u think

[Marzipan]

I'd rather guess when European PS3 owners will be able to play episode 2.

[coryay113]

Didn't know that there was 3 straight Wednesdays in September.

[Heartburnkid]

I hope it's out this month, don't carr what day but sooner the better. I have never had this much fun with a game before. Kudos telltale. Just release sooner please. :)

[Leondark]

The game ain't coming out in july, thats for sure(unless TTG actually worked on it during the ''certification'' period).

I think it will come out on August,27.

[Vainamoinen]

Didn't know that there was 3 straight Wednesdays in September.

I KNEW I shouldn't have done this at 2 AM. :rolleyes:
Is it perfect now???

[RoboSheriff]

yea ill be honest, i was expecting that they released episode 2-3 at the same .

[VDViking]

I put down wednesday july 27, But then, when we finally get it, the whole episode may already have been destroyed/revealed to us thanks to all the spoilers in the headlines, so it may be pointless.

[caveman]

you think they held back episode 2 that way when episode 5 comes out it will only b a few weeks before the tv show premier. i sure hope so, but so much for wishful thinking.

[Dan Blast]

Sometime in 2013.
Feh....

[GlockPants]

I'm going with August 29. If I remember correctly, at E3 they said Ep. 3 would come out August (and Ep. 2 coming out late June, which it did). So just to be safe I'm predicting a similar release time for Ep. 2.

[The_Ripper]

Ufff, this is hard!!!

I think it will be August but I don't decide which day.

Last week for sure. :p

[RappinReggie]

Ufff, this is hard!!!

I think it will be August but I don't decide which day.

Last week for sure. :p

I hope you are wrong buddy. I voted for late July, trying to be very optimistic:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[GlockPants]

I hope you are wrong buddy. I voted for late July, trying to be very optimistic:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I hope I'm wrong too (voted Aug 29) but I don't want to get my hopes up.

[The_Ripper]

I hope you are wrong buddy. I voted for late July, trying to be very optimistic:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I hope too. But I am realistic. :o

I wish that I'm wrong!

[fiddilydee]

Has anyone at Telltale indicated why the second one took so long, and if/how this will effect the remaining episodes?

[PuhChewyChomp]

First Tuesday in September or bust!

[Milosuperspesh]

ttg should get it out within the month otherwise they'll just have more hating and abuse..

thing is they couldn't release ep3 cos that also would need a certification seperate from ep2..

[Gman5852]

Has anyone at Telltale indicated why the second one took so long, and if/how this will effect the remaining episodes?

We haven't gotten an official saying, but so far it sounds like they wanted it to sync up with consoles.

[WowMutt]

Sept 14th because is my Bday. but hope is much sooner!

[tmfm2000]

I'm hoping they'll stick with "monthly" this time, so july 31st it is :)

I remember ToMI - they went overtime on one episode I think, but the rest just went from the beginning of the month for the beginning of the season to the end of the month towards the end, keeping within the "monthly" promise, in a way..

[Vainamoinen]

We haven't gotten an official saying, but so far it sounds like they wanted it to sync up with consoles.

E3 comments reported by the press pointed in that direction ever so slightly. But I doubt that accounts for a full month. My best bet still is: Underestimated design/programming effort for player choices. Makes this guessing game all the more interesting. :rolleyes:

[Gratefully Dead]

What I really hope is that we just get some news this time around. Not "Hey, we're releasing in 2 days!" ... but like, maybe some progress reports? "Things are looking good. We're aiming for (x date) but we'll keep you informed if something delays us!"

One can hope, right? :P

[Vainamoinen]

One can hope, right? :P

I certainly do!

[UndeadDollface]

I voted July 24th, because apparently I enjoy the bitter taste of disappointment.

[ruairi46]

Must get furstating having to right each option for the pole in my opinion.

[Zeruis]

Hmm...So episode 3 is called a long road ahead...I hope that the release date is not the same.

[Soldier660]

I really wanted to know :( !!! would be really the BEST if lunch at middle or end of Jully ! too bad :( they problaly wont ! because Telltale really are making us Wait ! and FAIL of company in that part !

[JPG619]

I think it might come out on August 31 but I can be wrong. However since EP 2 was a 2 month delay the I think it will take 2 months to finish EP 3

[zgamer]

I am hoping for the monthly track, so I will say July 31. Seems like an ideal time to release it.

[Justsomeguy]

27 july i think

[Zeruis]

What was the real reason that Telltale delayed episode 2? What is because of e3 or something else?

[Keupajer]

I really liked ep2, so all I will do now is look forward to ep3:) And ofcause use this forum to keep myself updated:)

[Zombie2k12]

i hope asap!

[VDViking]

Or it may happen about in five years after TTG goes bust, and the patents/rights run out and some really dedicated hardcore fan is finally finishing it.

[coryay113]

YeAh well how is Telltale going bust? They already got your money along with A million plus other people. Let me to ease you crazy people's minds a bit with some logic. The Season 3 of the walking dead comes on in October. Some of the characters from the game will be in season 3. So the game storyline will be complete before the show goes on. They have July for episode 3 August for episode 4 and September for episode 5. Then the TV show comes back on. Very good marketing in my opinion it makes Walking Dead Year round product along with the comic books releasing a new issue.

So calm yourselves people. Got aget hammer and blow shit up. Happy 4th of July. 'Merica.

I figured this was the case a while back. With the game getting as much favorable press as it has, there was no way they were not going to tie it to the release of the new season of the show.

That said, it would have been nice for them to let us know if that was their intention. I think that is why people were upset. Then again, what if they are delayed past the release of the show?

[NessaT]

I hope it will be soon - like Mid August. But I voted for "When Hell Freezes Over". I think there will be some other thing that causes the delay. WTF.

[PuhChewyChomp]

The show has nothing to do with the game.

[NightMother]

The show has nothing to do with the game.

The game is based on the comics.

They may be trying to tie it to the release of The Road To Woodbury which features Lilly.

[Zeruis]

Wait...tie in the release of episode 3 with the novel? I can't see that happening.

[zfan330]

Where is episode three already!? Taletell I hate you!! Im suing and youll never get another nickle of my money!

First!! :)

[Vainamoinen]

OHhhhh no you unfortunately aren't. ;)


heres a question jake will there be more then one "good"ish ending?

The forum holds its breath for Jake to return and spoil each and every possible ending for the entire TWD fan base. :eek:

[Soldier660]

Awww... if they make us wait more 2, 3 months ! i finished with telltale ! at least they have to tell why is taking so long !

Its a 2 to 4 hours game Jesus XD ! finished in a day in you freetime and its a cartoon ! why would take so much time !

[trd84]

Wait...tie in the release of episode 3 with the novel? I can't see that happening.

No the end of the game. It comes out in October I believe, so if they can finish the game by then Lilly's story can continue in the novel the same month.

[WowMutt]

While browsing these forum's I've noticed several Telltale staff/designers have posted on various threads and though I'm sure some must have looked at this one. Are we again not going to be given any sort of notice about when EP3 is to be released?

Even if they cant provide a specific date, perhap's a note say'ing they are aiming for a general date, or a status update?

When I browse this thread, I really do kinda skim past all the post's here looking for any actual Telltale member who may drop a note.

I would even be happy with a comment from someone official just saying why they wont give us release info.

[corruptbiggins]

This is all I wanted for the last episode. This makes me a happier gamer boy!

[Zeruis]

Check the blog. Specifically today's post: http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-975

Middle of August, huh? I can wait. More importantly, TT did give a window for the release date early on.

[WowMutt]

For many of you, the most important thing is to let you know when the next episode (Episode 3: Long Road Ahead) will be available, and although we can't give you an exact date at this time, we can say that episode three will be ready in the middle of August, and that we and our partners will do all that we can to release all platforms and regions as close together as possible.

WOOOOT!

Thank You Telltale for that!

[reno2200]

Here's hoping that 'ready' mid-August means 'released' mid-August so we don't get another, "We're finished! Just wait a few weeks for certification..." Fortunately, other games exist, making the wait not as terrible as it could be.

Did something majorly game-breaking happen during Ep 2's development that has pushed back the overall progress of the game? I can see (and I'm happy/impressed) that they are super-confident that Ep 3 will be out mid-August because it means that they expect to have made up half a month in Ep 3's development time. If they get fully back on track (i.e. monthly release schedule, as initially planned) after 3, the final episode will be released just as The Walking Dead Season 3 begins on TV.

[Gregory2012]

I can wait until mid-August. Five new campaigns are being released (http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=8309)for Left 4 Dead 2 on the Xbox 360 on July 24th.

Now, that's my boy!

Mid August sounds good! Should we restart the guessing game?

[Vainamoinen]

"Almost" monthly! ;)

Weeeeellll... I think there still is guessing to do.

[Zeruis]

TT said that episode 3 was going to be ready in the middle of August. We don't know if that's the release date. I'm still putting my bet on August 30th.

[donmike84]

augest another 2 month wait

[spawner]

TT said that episode 3 was going to be ready in the middle of August. We don't know if that's the release date. I'm still putting my bet on August 30th.

Sorry to tell you this but are you illiterate or something ?

TTG didn't say it will be out mid August but they're working on it and fighting and striving to get it done by that time. It's not a confirmation but rather an estimate.

I hope all you complainers that complained about ep2 are happy now that TTG HAVE made an apology for it and as they said, "we will strive to improve our communication with you so that you know what’s happening".

P.S: I haven't even played ep2 yet xD

[Th3Butcher]

I belive it will come in the middle of September!

[GreenBoy]

so....i was thinking...i saw the Kenny and Lee going back to the drugstore (i don't know if the rest of the group is with them) so by any chance could they meet a zombie Carley/Doug....? that is what i was thinking...

[Vainamoinen]

augest another 2 month wait

Noooo, noooo, noooo. That would only be one and a half. Fingers crossed!

But don't worry, counting right doesn't bring satisfaction:

the middle of august? WTF is this crap! thats more than a month away u guys SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best example for "hasn't understood the episodic concept" ever. :D

[Gratefully Dead]

My August 17th guess a while back is looking purty good now.

[Milosuperspesh]

well i say they will have the game mostly done this month leaving approximatly two weeks for the certification so august would make sense.

[Nintendo Boy1]

IGN says Episode 3 will release Mid-August.... BuDaWaHuH? I thought the two month delay was a only a one time thing for the gap between Episode 1 & 2, like Back to the Future? What's going on? I'm getting worried with what's seeming to be more and more lack of information from Telltale.

[Gman5852]

Telltale released a blog post about this, so they did inform us this time.

[Nintendo Boy1]

Oh wow... Thanks Gman! Usually I check the blog when I come on. Admitly I came on in a bit of a rage mode to write a thread about the new Walking Dead FPS. (Which you beat me to... :p)

[WowMutt]

so....i was thinking...i saw the Kenny and Lee going back to the drugstore (i don't know if the rest of the group is with them) so by any chance could they meet a zombie Carley/Doug....? that is what i was thinking...

Makes sence to me.. At the end of EP1, Doug/Carley was lost to the walkers, so I would expect to see either one zombified.

[JackalOsiris]

Is there a cool front moving towards hell yet?

[Aexra]

Check the blog. Specifically today's post: http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-975

Thank you TTG, thats all you needed to do.
I feel al warm and tingly inside now.

[The_Ripper]

Last August's week. I think that it will be a tiny delay. :)

EDIT: August 30th it's my bet.

[KatVonLee]

So its not every month episodes but every two? *sigh* I suppose we got told this time. I still dont see any apology or anything. Its like all the delays and upsets didnt happen. They thank us for our patience but never say sorry... :confused:

[Iyerbeth]

Appreciate the info on the release date from the blog for ep 3. :) Was a bit sad there wasn't anything for ep 2.

[Vainamoinen]

So its not every month episodes but every two? *sigh* I suppose we got told this time.

Mid-August would be one and a half months. ;)

[Bearcules]

I look forward to getting my hands on it.

[bghjkl]

"ready" in mid-August?

Wasn't episode 2 "ready" in late May?

[PuhChewyChomp]

I don't care what has been announced. I'm sticking with September fourth.

[skitzogenius]

so what the hell? a helicopter hit the macon drug store that was the main setting for one in part three?

[WowMutt]

so what the hell? a helicopter hit the macon drug store that was the main setting for one in part three?

I noticed the drugstore was in ruin's but I didnt see how it got that way.. was it a helo crash? I'll have to go back and play EP2 again just to see the comming soon for EP3 to see if I can tell what happened!

[Zeruis]

[KatVonLee]

Ha. Episde two was meant to be ready end of May XD So i wont hold my breath. Still bad conduct for them to still advertise monthly releases when obviously its not. Half a month difference or not.

[pluckaduck]

I am having a difficult time finding an apology in here. I see where they say they are going to strive to "improve" communication, which would point to the fact that they are building on something that was already there. There was NO communication for a very long time, so again, I see NO apology there.

I do however appreciate they are trying to be a little more proactive in communicating.

Oh well, awesome game, just hoping to get a little better heads up this next time around.

[KatVonLee]

Exactly! Least someone else can see they have never apologised to us! :confused:

[TheWaltzingBread]

August 16th, my results day

What I get is probably going to effect how I treat the other survivors or try to push Duck off of the speeding train.

[the walking guybrush]

Exactly! Least someone else can see they have never apologised to us! :confused:

Well in all fairness a statement about wanting to improve communication and giving an estimated release time is more useful to me than an apology.

Episode 2 was great and if they need to delay episode 3 as well to maintain the high quality that is fine with me as long as they communicate it to us in time as their statement says is their goal.

[KatVonLee]

Well in all fairness a statement about wanting to improve communication and giving an estimated release time is more useful to me than an apology.

How can you improve on something that wasnt there in the first place? There was no communication.

[Vainamoinen]

How can you improve on something that wasnt there in the first place? There was no communication.

I need DjNDB to put that in sufficiently mathematical terms, but of course you can improve in an area where you formerly were at, say, 0%. It's just that you could not measure growth with absolute numbers because that would always be infinity. :)

[Solid11]

Well this was my first game purchase from TTG and will be my last. I did what research I could find from other episodic releases from them and from what I got, it was released monthy. Oh well lesson learned and I move on. No crying about what you can't change.

Most I would ever do in the future would be to wait until all episodes are released, so I won't have to try and remember what the hell I played the 2 months prior....but unlikely they will make anything as good as TWD again.

[KatVonLee]

-_-' Enough about lack of communication. Back to the original complaint. Simple fact there was no apology. End of.

Some people want compensation, Some want to know what the hell went on, but I and a few others want to just get them to put their hands up and go Sorry. How hard is it to apologise to the thousands they upset?

[Heartburnkid]

Amazing game. Just sucks having to wait for august now....not a specific date either as I am sure it will be at the. End of the month no matter what the announcement was.

[jaybreezy]

Is an apology really gonna heal everyones boo boo's?? I mean really? First everyone just wanted communication. Now an apology is needed because of a delayed game? Wow.

[Bearcules]

Is an apology really gonna heal everyones boo boo's?? I mean really? First everyone just wanted communication. Now an apology is needed because of a delayed game? Wow.

I completely agree. Even if TWD game met the intended release dates, it's supposed to be a few hours of gameplay per month. Surely its not as significant an inconvenience as the rage posters make it out to be.

[Gman5852]

How can you improve on something that wasnt there in the first place? There was no communication.

Exactly, there was 0 communication, so some communication is an improvement.

Not a hard concept to grasp really.

[Liverlad]

I was pissed when episode 2 got delayed twice (i am a EU gamer) but after playing Episode 2 all was forgiven! They are doing a good job on this game, it's just what i was hoping for! So from now on ASAP will do for me! :D

[ronedogg]

Bangup job on epi 2 guys.

was well done. those 2 months better be because of that. lol jk

see yas in another 3 months.

[McRb29]

Exactly, there was 0 communication, so some communication is an improvement.

Not a hard concept to grasp really.

are you sure you are grasping the concept lol? if you have a county fair for the first time, is it an improvement from the previous year? No it's something new. So you can't improve on something that wasn't there. Not trying to pick a fight or anything. You just make it seem like the guy was crazy for not grasping your concept.

[jaybreezy]

are you sure you are grasping the concept lol? if you have a county fair for the first time, is it an improvement from the previous year? No it's something new. So you can't improve on something that wasn't there. Not trying to pick a fight or anything. You just make it seem like the guy was crazy for not grasping your concept.

Not a good comparison in my opinion.

And yes it would still be an improvement.

No county fair = bad (unless you really hate the smell of cow "doody")
county fair = good

Bad to good = improvement.

0 dollars in your pocket = bad
10 dollars in your pocket = good

Bad to good = improvement

Lack of communication = bad
Communication = good

Bad to good = improvement

[CapnJay]

Vain Who won the episode two contest and when will we see their picture requests?

[Vainamoinen]

Errrrrrr....

I have my winner - which was Maximuswood - and I've sketched a bit last weekend for his great idea. Might be a few weeks before anything presentable emerges, though. But it'll be there BEFORE EPISODE 3. :D :D

divisonten generously picked two winners, but I have no idea who they are (I think The Ripper was among them), what their ideas were or how far div is with her pics. She has a LOT going on in job-related matters right now, so this too might be a while... but she's also far more spontaneous and productive than I am, so who knows? ;)

[Keupajer]

I just read the explanation from TTG, and it seems like they have read the forum, and that they are trying to meet the demands. To me it does sound like an apology, and I am satisfyed.
I would like the 3th episode to come out a little sooner, but at least we have a consideret estimate from TTG.

One could argue, that this message should have come ealiger, but better late than never. So now is a good time to stop complaining about episode 2 and focus on episode 3.

And let us be honest. Episode 2 was brilliant, so please be excited not angry:)

Ah, but that technically isn't the scenario. We have to remember telltale has had games before Walking Dead. Telltale have had full communication then, followed by it dropping to 0. Meaning that it would be about 100 then 0 then 100, meaning it is an improvement.

TL;DR, don't think about this post at all because I didn't making it :p.

Mid August so far!!

[spawner]

I am having a difficult time finding an apology in here. I see where they say they are going to strive to "improve" communication, which would point to the fact that they are building on something that was already there. There was NO communication for a very long time, so again, I see NO apology there.

I do however appreciate they are trying to be a little more proactive in communicating.

Oh well, awesome game, just hoping to get a little better heads up this next time around.

Yes they were very communicative in the past but due to the problems that arose during the making of the walking dead they lacked this communication loss. They did apologize and they're working on advancing their communication skills

[Vainamoinen]

I think that the EU PS3 should get Episode 3 a week earlier than everyone else as compensation for their mistakes regarding episode 2's poor release.

Nice idea, but I'm not even sure the lag between PSN US and EU is even entirely avoidable with episodic releases such as this. The one month delay without communication was annoying to say the least, the less than four work day gap between PSN US and Europe releases on the contrary is hardly worth mentioning.

If I remember correctly - and I seriously can't find many statistics here - the PSN US/Europe lags were of a completely dimension in former Telltale PlayStation releases, namely Back to the Future and The Devil's Playhouse. The first episode of BTTF was on PSN North America on February 15th, one and a half months after the PC/Mac players had their first episode, and arrived on PSN EU on March 9th, almost four weeks later.

What we saw right here with episode 2 is a definite, undeniable and major improvement towards simultaneous international releases as compared to previous releases. What do you say to that? ;)

[Milosuperspesh]

[The_Jesus_12489]

"Plan" is an interesting variable when you're dealing with such small development timeframes.

[corruptbiggins]

That sounds really strange? the developers don't have a clue regarding the game they've planned to ship out mid august?

More likely it's a dev who isn't involved with making this game.

[The_Jesus_12489]

what would a developer do who wasn't invovled with making the game?

[corruptbiggins]

Work on an upcoming game or port. There is usually more than one game in development at once, even if it's just in the early stages of working out production schedules and the like.

[cmar143]

I cant remember the last time I heard of a game being released early. Lets face it the further along in episodes the longer its going to take to develop. There winds up being thousands of choices that they have to write for which is going to translate to long delays. I dont think they realized what they were getting into when in talks about writing and developing this game series. Literally thousands of different story lines have to be written and produced in the last couple episodes which is a giant undertaking especially for a smaller company like TTG.

ep2 showed not every choice was being used so, ttg can simply stick with the pro kenny or pro larry/lilly anti ducks pro clem and doug/carly

so now we have to add to them steal from car? and clem has a hoodie ?

then theres killing the stjohns?

yeh i reckon ep4 and ep5 will be delayed once ep3 is done and we have new members

[JPG619]

Just noticed that, maybe that is a sign that it might be the 31st of August. I hope it earlier but right now I am just sitting tight like everyone else.

[owyn]

Strictly speaking, TG didn't say when the third episode will be released. They wrote in their blog that it "will be ready in the middle of August" and that they will try to "release all platforms and regions as close together as possible". I think it takes some time to release an episode after finishing it.

[Vainamoinen]

That should definitely read ready to play. But the simultaneous release attempt could crack the date, indeed.

[Milosuperspesh]

crack like an unboiled egg dropped from a high roof top ?

[Vainamoinen]

More like a zombie head by Lee's axe - his aim is perpetually off. Your comparison makes the further delay pretty inevitable... I think mid-August is still where we're going.

I think EP3 is in the testing phase now, this was posted on the TTG Facebook page

We're looking for a variety of experienced AND inexperienced players - so no familiarity with our games will be necessary. We'd love to have you by our office. Spaces are limited!

Episode 2 was nothing short of awesome. It's definitely frustrating to have delays, but I'd rather wait longer and get top quality, then have them ship early because people scream and get poor quality. It's easier to apologize for a late release, then for an early let down.

I can't wait for episode 3!!!

[boxman]

Not to be a whiny bitch but, WHERE IS EPISODE 3? Enough already and release it. :mad:
It wont be out before at least middle of august from what I have heard.

There was no promise. I'm sick of hearing that. It said very clearly episodes "Planned to be released monthly." PLANNED! Not "I solemly swear these episodes will be out one month apart. So stop whining that they broke a promise that was never made. Shit happens, get over it. And yes it was quite obvious they wouldn't make it out one month apart.

All the inspections and tests microsoft and sony run through on games they release onto their consoles take a couple of weeks at best usually so if those take two weeks of the one month telltale would be left with a week or two to actually make the episode and that seems a bit too short doesn't it?

[godzilla999666]

This is my first telltale game. I bought it cause i love the walking dead and could handle the monthly releases. Since they have not lived up to thier plan on monthly releases, i will not be buying anything else from telltale games again. I plan on buying the episodes as they come out to finish the game, but that is it. If they had told us in the begining that there would delays on every episode, i would of waited till it was completed before buying it. Every other game i have preordered can give a hard date on release, not sure why these people can't. They should of not released in april, if the game wasn't more completed. When they orginally first episode 1, episode 2 should of been done, and 3 almost done. That is the logical way of things.

tell me where it has ever "very clearly" said "planned"

I've never seen that word in the same sentence as "monthly" when referring to this game. A few pages back I even posted a snapshot where (very clearly) it says on telltale's website "A game of 5 monthly episodes". They have since silently edited it to say only "A game of 5 episodes"

The steam store I believe said "Remaining episodes will be released monthly" and it has been silently edited to say "Remaining episodes will be released periodically"

They did make promises. They did break them. They did cover it up. They never apologized.

We can move on from this, but don't say it never happened.

Atleast when I looked at the walking dead page in steam it said "Episodes planned to be released monthly." Or atleast that is what I remember seeing there, maybe my eyes and my memory have deceived me.

Oh and obviously I don't think they make the entire episode during the release gap, but they still have to do a significant amount.

Refund for what? They're still making the game and I'm still getting what I paid for. I've said that it's no problem to move on from what's happened, and that's what I'm doing: Moving on.

It would be nice, however, to get an apology and for them to get serious about their PR. The "message from telltale" in their blog was a kick in the face.

Anyway I bought from Steam, and from what I've heard, getting a refund from TTG isn't happening and from Steam is literally impossible. The only option to recoup my money would be to do a chargeback and Steam will suspend your account if you do a credit card chargeback and take ALL your games.

Get serious about their PR? This company gave everyone who paid for Jurassic Park free copies and, when episode one of Walking Dead was delayed, gave everyone a free Steam copy. Just because you didn't make out on their efforts doesn't negate their incredibly fair nature.

Anyone can whine all you want about their release dates or production value, but anyone thinks they're an impersonal company who doesn't make great efforts to appease their consumers, they can go oops yourself.

PR is Public relations. How you relate to the public. Lets take a look at how their team handled the episode 2 debacle.

-Forces PC users to pay upfront for "5 monthly episodes"

-1 month after Episode 1, no word from TellTale

-Late May they sneak something into a blog post "Coming in June"

-First week of June, everyone is in an uproar. Telltale says NOTHING

-June 6, at E3 Telltale says NOTHING about there even BEING a delay. Just "We're hoping for late June, we submitted to Sony and MS"

-Mid June, Still an uproar "Where is EP.2 Where is EP.2" Silence ensues from TTG

-3 days before release, they reveal XBOX gets the game first, even though the PC build had been ready to release for weeks. They refuse to say why. IMO The only explanation that makes sense is a cash deal from MS giving them the game first

-After episode 2, they release a "Message" that says "Thanks for Waiting (like we had a choice), We'll try to keep you on top of Episode 3. (they haven't said a thing yet) It might be ready in mid-August" (ready to release? ready for submission? what do you mean ready? Too bad they won't tell us) In this message they don't apologize and they don't admit fault.

-No further updates throughout July. Silence returns and ensues. August approaches.



Now during this ENTIRE shitstorm, what was TTG's PR team doing? Of course, posting about the game's rave reviews, continuing to advertise "omg episode 2 is so great you guys will love it" when it was in everyones mind that that judgement could be made independently if we could only play it. Emails were met either with no answer (my case) or a cookie cutter response. (something along the lines of "We at TTG are trying our best please be patient") I think it is evident that they actually read very few of the customer pleas. Additionally, the "monthly" bits were silently edited out of game descriptions. Never a "Hey I know we said monthly but it's going to be longer", they just pretend they never said montly.

To continue on their PR's rampage of tyranny, check out their marketing

http://puu.sh/KZdl

http://puu.sh/KZbD

Remember this screen?
http://puu.sh/KZaI

Now I am 100% certain that there is only one story direction. No "tailoring" at all. False advertising IMO.

Furthermore, check out the questions thread. There is quite a lot going on in there. A lot of good questions that actually require answers. There hasn't been a red name in that thread since they dodged all the episode 2 questions to instead answer "what's ur fav zombie movie". And Jake says he reads that thread and this forum "every day for six years"

Now with all that said, I'm not trying to badmouth TTG as a company as much as it sounds like I am. I like their adventure games. Great games to play. Their developers/programmers/artists/writers/etc are among the best in the business. The corporate side of their company could use an overhaul.

TL;DR They have a lot to say but they aren't talking. That's bad PR.

Edit: I guess all I did was whine about release dates and production values, but the central themee is communication, and it all qualifies as bad PR.

[CiscoKidd81]

I don't think we're going to see Episode 3 for the PC/XBOX/PS3 any time soon. I would not be surprised if it ends up being. September release. It looks like TellTale is now developing their iOS game on the same timeline as the PC release. That's going to slow the episode releases a bunch. I believe before they waited until the came was completly finished to create the iOS version of it.

Take a look at my other thread. I had a theory last month that TellTale would scrap their monthly PC release and develop the iOS game along the same time line. Since everyone on the PC/XBOX/PS3 bought a season pass up front it does not make TellTale anymore money pushing quick releases. Instead if they develop the iOS game at the same time TellTale can take advantage of hype revenue PC game. Making TellTale more money and allowing them to move on to the next project faster after TWD game since they will not have to remake it for the iOS in the end.

Here is my thread of the iOS deployment theory.

http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31718

[corruptbiggins]

Episode 3 will be out in August. I'd put money on it.

[CiscoKidd81]

Episode 3 will be out in August. I'd put money on it.

Bet money on it. I think it will be September or at the soonest sometime after the 25th of Aug.

Based on the company size I just can't see them releasing the PC episodes as quick as they did in the past.

Below is a direct quote from a article on the TellTale Inc company.


"In 2010, the company’s revenues totaled $10 million, increasing nearly 90 percent over the previous year. This year, revenues are expected to grow at the same pace, and the studio is expected to jump to 140 employees from 90. So far, it’s raised $6 million, and more is expected to close any day."


http://allthingsd.com/20110217/tellt...mod=ATD_skybox

Before they were waiting to the end of a game to make the iOS deployment, each PC episode was released Monthly.

If they are using their best PC programmers to now make a monthly iOS deployment of each episode instead of waiting to the end then, I think the new PC deployment schedule is going to be 60 to 90 days.

I hope I am wrong.

[corruptbiggins]

Name your price.

It'll be a small team handling the iOS port. A few programmers, maybe an art person or two (to handle any file conversion that would be needed for textures and the like, but they may have tools made to do this sort of thing automatically). Any port is typically done by a smaller team simply because there is literally less to do and what there is to do is mainly technical.

It will in no way affect the main PC/Mac/console release schedule.

If they are using their best PC programmers to now make a monthly iOS deployment of each episode instead of waiting to the end then, I think the new PC deployment schedule is going to be 60 to 90 days.

And this bit just makes no sense. Why would they use their best PC programmers to make the iOS port? They would in fact use their iOS programmers because they know how to do the port far better than a PC only programmer.

First of all, I must say I'm a great fan of the game. I've played many adventure games in the past (Lucasfilm ones), but recently not many until I discovered this.
It's f***ing awesome, really. Better than the tv show.

Now about the release date I bet 29th August... and even if I'm impatient to play it, being a small indie developer myself, I know that is really hard to release a new game so I prefer to wait a few weeks more but play a bug-free game :)

Keep up the great work.

You guys, we are running in circles with this arguing. I've already gotten dizzy and fallen over. We all know telltale said stuff. We all know TellTale did not stick to what was advertised. WE KNOW THAT. THEY KNOW YOU ARE ANGRY. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE ANGRY. WE ALL KNOW THAT ALREADY. I thought we were done with this, guys.

Also, I didn't even know anyone had guessed the date right for EP2. Nice.

Same fate as Valve. *trollface.jpg*

Not too long until we get Episode 3!

FINALLY

[toothiersnow]

cool story bro

[Kartonnendozen]

You know they said mid august. So think between 15th and 30th if were lucky.

(Maybe in september when everyone is back from there vacation. Troll troll)

I don't expect miracles at this moment.

[donmike84]

hopefully we should get episode 3 in the next few weeks

Hopefully. Does anyone know if TTG passed the game onto Sony or Microsoft yet for approval. If so then it should be here soon.

kinda concerned about the current silence by the telltale team, that was one of the precursors for the last delay. *puts on tin foil hat*

What exactly do you mean by "silence"?? They said mid-August and mid-August isn't here yet. Why should they have to say anything right now?

*puts on tin foil hat*

And leave it there! :D

Communication doesn't mean that they're tweeting "it looks like we're going to actually make it" every day. My statistics say the quieter TTG is, the MORE likely it is that they keep a previously announced time frame.

[The_Jesus_12489]

like when they were two months late with episode 2?

Confidence in the release might lead to some screen shots, a "your gonna love this" kinda mentality. Silence leans more towards the fingers crossed stress out attitude.

I'm just saying you're making it too easy for Telltale to regain your trust. If you're already getting nervous right now, two full weeks before mid-August, you'd be far too flabberghastedly relieved when they actually release mid month. :D

[Keupajer]

*puts on tin foil hat*

Please make one for me to:)

I suppose, that mid august is still the most exact date we have..? Still it would be kinda nice to know, when they submit the game to Microsoft and Sony, cause it is a sign, that our wait is almost over:)


So can anybody tell me, what this whole PAX thing is about? The timeline looks kinda like it will be a little before ep 4.

[Thugnasty28]

i dont care if they said mid-august, im checking PSN every day no matter what. Wouldnt that be a nice surprise, if it came out TONIGHT? or THIS WKND? i'd wet my panties.

save you breath thug

when ep3 is out it will be clear on the forums and other media

just take a chill pill and wait like the rest of us

[zerodemon]

I seriously hope they stick to the mid-august release date, and don't delay to get more exposure for ep.3 at PAX.

Anyways, episodes 1 and 2 are being given away free to Playstation Plus subscribers next Tuesday. Could be a sign that episode 3 is releasing then.

they won't release a week early ttg ain't that nice.. ;) (don't hurt me ttg devs!)

on time and across all formats yeah they can stick with that..

[Zombieface]

Is it mid-August yet? lol

[Demopan]

It's been more than a month since episode 2. Where is episode 3?

[Saracenar]

It's coming mid-August (my guess is sometime between the 10th and 17th). Telltale have revised their 'monthly' release schedule; don't expect to see episode 4 a month after 3 either.

[godzilla999666]

The episode might be done mid august, but no word about when they are releasing it.

[Dash666]

Stop bitch about telltale games cause 1. there trying to release a quality game in short amount of time 2. they already said when it coming out http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-975
