Well, Europe PSN are being left in the dark again:/

[Brody100]

I'd just like to ask when you Europe PSN users think we'll get the game, and I hope people refrain from positing too many spoilers as it ruins the game for us...

[SteveTheBlocks]

I thought telltale is still trying to because your place is still having it confirmed or something.
I completely forgot i saw it somewhere though.
Although... it's been a long ass time already, you guys should have it by now.
guess not yet...

[christophlieber]

NOT AGAIN!
why is it so hard to get the game out worldwide at the same frickin' time?!

[RAnthonyMahan]

NOT AGAIN!

Because consoles.

The PC version is released worldwide at the same time, though. Just saying. :p

WoW great hindseight there. Now go play somewhere else.

My guess is that most of the users who complain here bought the season pass. I did, and if I had know that I would be neglected in each.

TTG has since the first release promised that they would work towards a simultanious release across platform and region. They have yet to comment on how far they are in this process(I'm guessing not very far).

They still haven't responed to the mail I sent them on the subject either.

Well I got that of my chest.. I hope that'll help me keep sane for the rest of the week.. hopefully.

What you should do is complain to Sony. This is clearly Sony treating Europeans as second grade customers and not telltale fault.

[Dionn]

You can blame Sony for that. Not Telltale Games.

[Brody100]

I was never blaming Telltale, I know it's Sony's fault. But still, they could send it off for certification earlier? Also alot of people post spoilers on the facebook page or here to ruin it for others on purpose, I know some players don't be some will gladly do it just to ruin it for others.

I'm sure US PSN and EU PSN receive the finished game at the same time as each other. EU PSN are the slow ones that always take longer than everyone else and sadly I have no idea why!

[TheBlackDeathOfFinland]

Thank god I got addicted to Red Dead Redemption again! ;)
Otherwise I would have really boring evening... at least in this week...

[Goldrock]

Just be happy telltale been doin the international you know they really dont have to they can make it us only just saying show some gratitude for actually getting it.

[VDViking]

Just be happy telltale been doin the international you know they really dont have to they can make it us only just saying show some gratitude for actually getting it.

Why should I be grateful? They chose to go international because they wanted the money. They sold five episodes to me, i.e. took my money, now I expect them have to deliver.

In fact TTG should be grateful to all the PS3 EU gamers who have bought their game, (especially those of us who bought the full five episode pack), giving them funds to keep on producing games.

[christophlieber]

really helpful answers here. that's why i simply can't stand pc gamers. it has nothing to do with consoles.
yeah, of course it's sony's fault but why not giving them the game earlier so a worldwide release would be possible? i'm bettin all my money on a release this or next friday for eu users. that's how it was with every episode since the first one (btw: why did they manage to release the first one for everyone everywhere at the same damn time?!)
if i would have known that tt seems to be just too stupid to plan it right, i would definitely have bought the game via my us account.

[christophlieber]

Just be happy telltale been doin the international you know they really dont have to they can make it us only just saying show some gratitude for actually getting it.

everyone would have bought it anyways but there wouldn't be the problem eu users have right now. so no, i'm not happy at all.

[Vainamoinen]

Platformism is such a funny form of discrimination. I always have milk coming out of my nose when I stumble across it. Regardless of whether I've actually been drinking any milk before.

i do really understand your point, but especially here in this forum i get offended over and over again by so-called pc gamers. even i have a pc, even i play games on it. but i do not judge anyone by playing a game on a console because he likes consoles more. that's my point of view.

[GSH]

Uh how do you think you're any better than PC?

[christophlieber]

Uh how do you think you're any better than PC?

no, i did not intend to offend anyone. come on, you miss my point (which isn't really relevant to the topic).
i do not think that i'm any better than any pc gamer (i guess you meant that), but i do not offend other people by answering in a non-supporting way like many people here do.
how should a comment like "it's the fault of consoles. play it on a pc." (remembered quote from in this topic) help me in any way?

[GSH]

PC has been last 3 times now... EU has got it before PC and we're given dates and had it delivered late 3 times now

So...

Comments such as that annoy the crap out of me.

It's bad enough the EU PSN players need to wait now, yet didn't for the first episode. Let alone us players on iOS that haven't even played ep 3 yet. Only to have everybody else place spoilers through out the forums!

Then to get told that it's the PC players that are waiting!

it's not just here. everywhere on the internet everyone seems to spoil the game for me. i can't google the walking dead game anymore.
i still have my hopes for a rather soon release of episode 4.

[Shrewsbury Survivor]

Its not EU users who should thank Telltale. We buy their game. We pay the same as the USA. They know EU will be slow so wait.

[What the flux!]

Telltale games has the worst customer service ever.
Now they are just taunting us with this tweet! (https://twitter.com/telltalegames/status/255930602015051776)

I know they what to advertise they new release. But this is just not cool.

[Vainamoinen]

You're a fucking idiot.


That's not the way we communicate with others here. Let me help you vent the aggression elsewhere.

And of course the assumption WAS utterly wrong. "PC last" is absolutely not true.

[cormoran]

I wonder if European and Asian game devs get these sorts of complaints when they take months/years to get their games released to the rest of the world (if at all).

this is somehow ridiculous, i know they need to advertise it, but not one single word about the eu release or an apology. i don't like the way ttg are dealing with this (really) big problem they're having since the release of episode 2.
btw: any news on the release date for eu?

The european ps3 blog (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/10/10/ghost-recon-future-soldier-khyber-strike-dlc-available-now/) was updated a few hours ago with no mention of the walking dead.

This was the same case with the previouse episodes. I'm guessing will get the episode monday or tuesday next week. Im not that mad any more, I'm just let down.

This is has sadly turned me of episodic gaming for good.

Double post but...

Posted on 10 October, 2012 at 3:38 pm by Jawad Ashraf

We’re working with the publisher on this. As far as I know it’s not too far behind, but definitely not today. I’d really recommend asking Telltale as well…

[Vainamoinen]

...because Telltale knows things about PSN updates which Sony doesn't. :eek:

[I B Red Guy]

I wish one side or the other would just be straight and say what the issue is and more importantly PLAN for the future on both sides so it doesn't keep happening time after time, I guess it's a Sony issue with the number of things not in this weeks update (castlevania, CS:GO, Retro city, Spyro).

It's really off putting I love TT games but I won't be buying a season pass ever again as I don't feel it, or I as paying upfront customer was worth anything regardless of where the fault lies

You know what bugs me the most? It comes always out when I have something else to do! But when I am bored and free to play:... No. It's funny, isn't it? :D

yeah, that's true. now i really blame scee. i also wanted to get spyro today but no, not in the update.
at least the new joe danger came out today.

[WarDragon989]

...because Telltale knows things about PSN updates which Sony doesn't. :eek:

Thinking about the whole situation, both Sony and Telltale know the reason for the delay. Its just that Sony most likely can not say due to possible contractual obligations and would also strain the relationship with TellTale for releasing said information. What I assume is that because the cert process is so "guarded", if TellTale reveals why the game hasn't been released, Sony doesn't have to take the brunt of attacks from angry fans since it is seen as them being the last hurdle.

The way Jawad, is responding to people sounds like its not actually Sony's problem and it is in fact Telltale's. But the big problem is that SCEE has not actually released a lot of games either (they still have yet to release Counter Strike GO, Retro City Rampage etc etc). So I don't exactly take Sony's its their fault when they don't tell us why!

Now I'm not defending Sony but Telltale could easily tell us why its been delayed, but they don't either. Its a stupid never ending circle, that will also happen with episode 5 and we will never know why.

[boxman]

I was never blaming Telltale, I know it's Sony's fault. But still, they could send it off for certification earlier? Also alot of people post spoilers on the facebook page or here to ruin it for others on purpose, I know some players don't be some will gladly do it just to ruin it for others.
I am sure they sent it for certification when it was ready. So that means they would have to delay all other platforms just because Sony is a bunch of fu**ers that dont care shit about us europeans.

[boxman]

i do really understand your point, but especially here in this forum i get offended over and over again by so-called pc gamers. even i have a pc, even i play games on it. but i do not judge anyone by playing a game on a console because he likes consoles more. that's my point of view.
Not every pc gamer is like that. I play most games on pc these days as well, but yet dont attack people for prefering consoles.
People who act like that are nothing but trolls.

[lucidity02]

I am not offended, as I have seen it happen myself. If it is not pc users, then it is ps3 or xbox users who look down upon each other.

Best thing to do is to ignore those trolls.

[BnaaUK]

Because consoles.

The PC version is released worldwide at the same time, though. Just saying. :p

That's not actually true though, I brought the PC version and it won't let me download episode 4. It says that episode 4 is released for North America.

yeah, that's unfortunately true.
definitely, ignoring is the only solution but sometimes it's just too much.
all in all i just don't get the whole point of "i'm better than you because i play games on this console instead of that console or pc.".
we're all gamers and we play videogames because we simply love it. period.

[I B Red Guy]

PSN update passing the blame big time again somebody was expressing their dissapointment in the lack of walking dead after the last 2 episodes missed the dat ae well:

Posted on 10 October, 2012 at 4:20 pm by Jawad Ashraf

We’re totally aware. It’s well worth letting Telltale know your sentiments as well.


and again:

"No surprise really about Walking Dead. Thought you’d have learnt by now after all you’ve had 3 episodes to get it right. Guess I’ll just grab a few animals for Tokyo Jungle."

Posted on 10 October, 2012 at 4:34 pm by Jawad Ashraf

Did you tell Telltale this, too?

And a third time

Posted on 10 October, 2012 at 4:45 pm by Jawad Ashraf

Again, this is all assuming us as a bad guy. No fingers are being pointed but few seem to question Telltale. 2 sides to every coin…unless you’re a trickster!

And one more

We definitely do care. But never forget, we also do as much as we can to support publishers. if something is missed by them then the blame squarely falls to them, should it not?

We’re looking into a lot of the issues that have been brought up today. Of course, things like game requests e.g. PSOne titles, are a little less priority.

Walking Dead though is coming soon. I may have more to share tomorrow.

What annoys me the most about these spoilers, is the regular users understand so post in the spoiler forums. It's the new users who post in here.

They, being new to the site would have found the forums via linking through https://www.telltalegames.com/walkingdead/ so have had to navigate here. Which means they completely ignore the forum tree and come straight here, 10 seconds of looking at their options would mean we wouldn't have to put up with this garbage.

[Pochipp]

to original post... wait til you buy this game from iOS

[JonGarrett]

Ah, the ever hilarious blame tango. I remember last time TellTale were hinting it was all SCEE's fault. Honestly, I just assume both groups are idiots - by Chapter 4 TellTale MUST know where the problems are and have options to iron them out, since other companies manage to do multiconsole, multinational updates and releases (Including TellTale themselves for the first episode Do they have this problem with the other games they've put out?

Equally, it can't be coincidence that SCEE just happens to be the one putting it out ten days late every bloody time. I really suspect the blame should be shared between the two.

Frankly, the fact TellTale's Customer Service is so terrible is what's making me more grumpy than the delays (and convinced me not to buy more of there products). Things like that Tweet just rubbing salt into the wound (Yeah, ALL of us would like to play, thanks) combined with a wall of silence just don't work well. You don;t have to say what's wrong, just acknowledge there is yet another delay and say you're sorry. I'm not sure anyone at TellTale knows the word, though...maybe you can use my Season Pass money to buy a dictionary, guys?

You are so right. All TellTale does is thank us for our support and patience. Clearly they don't intend on apologize for any delays.
Im sorry that I bought the season pass. And it will probably be the last time I send my money towards ttg.

I've always said that I'm doing business with telltale and not sony / scee.
Its TTG's job to ensure that thier game gets released on time, not scee.

TTG has had enough time to learn how to submit a episode to scee.

Do you guys remember Ocean Marketing? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqV9kx40RG0)
I fell like they had a better public relations agent than TTG.

Downloading now. Can't wait to be honest :P

Errrrr, just for my release date statistics, did this release on the 17th or the 18th now (mind you, I'm only interested in Pacific Standard time dates ;) )?

[VDViking]

Errrrr, just for my release date statistics, did this release on the 17th or the 18th now (mind you, I'm only interested in Pacific Standard time dates ;) )?

They were a little early on PSN this week and Ep 4 was up at 3 p.m. GMT on October 17, which translates into 8 a.m. PST, October 17.;)

Unless the Daylight Saving Times have mucked eveything up for me.

[FarmerJoe]

Hopefully they have managed to integrate the patch with the episode download. If not... well they won't get any new fans from Europe.

Word of warning VDViking,the patch was definitely not integrated with the episode!
I was just finishing my second playthrough and my game got corrupted,both saves gone!!! and I bet they'll take a long time to realese the patch.
I fully blame Telltale for that but I hope EU psn wont take their time in realising the patch(US already has it).

I want my decisions to be the same for the finale but having to play all 4 episodes again,twice!, doing the same choices!!! boring and time consuming.

[VDViking]

Thanks for the warning FarmerJoe. I'm starting to think that my decision to not play the game until I have all 5 episodes was the right one. I feel for you, and all others who has lost their saves because of TTG (and SCEE).

While TWD has some replay value, it may not hold up to several forced replays because of corrupted saves.
