Could The Walking Dead be the second Telltale licence to get more than one season?

[toothiersnow]

Although i would love to see a second season, if they continued making episodic games with a more mature theme id be happy, love MI, but enjoying the darker sense of dread.

I think alot of telltale game virgins don't realise they only make episodic games they see the walking dead and think cool and sign up with out doing any research.

dunno if they are just stupid/gullible or expect everything to be done a certain way. maybe think the world is flat too...

both would be nice

Could TWD get more than one season? Sure! The critical reception to the first episode was pretty solid, getting a mean rating of 8/10 or equivalent. If the commercial reception (read: sales) falls in line and the quality of future episodes for this season doesn't waiver, I think Telltale potentially has a bonafide, long term hit on its hands.

Should TWD actually get more than one season? Well, it's too early to tell in my opinion. Though I thought the first episode was fantastic and have played it multiple times, past history is no indication of future results. I predict that there will be at least one episode this season that will disappoint fans in some way or another. It's bound to happen, particularly given the varying story arcs based on your decisions. The fact that the bar has been raised so high from this episode is another factor to consider.

Nevertheless, if they can consistently put out episodes that are highly regarded in both critical and commercial circles and there is more compelling story to tell, TWD will likely see a season 2... and 3, 4, etc. as long as those factors continue to fall in line.

The only thing that may prevent future seasons from appearing, regardless of reception and quality, is the licensing once the first season is complete. We have no idea how far the Telltale contract extends with the comics creators. Is there an option to renew? Can the creators seek greener pastures regardless of the success/failure of the Telltale episodes? Those can play a major factor in future seasons as well, even if everything else turns out right.

As a fan, I'm eager to play and (hopefully) enjoy the subsequent episodes in this season before even thinking about a season 2.

I kind of doubt there will be a season number 2 in the sense that we follow Lee for another season. But I'm guessing there very well might be another multiple-story-arc following a completely different, and unknown, person. First of all.. I'm guessing the writers allready have the story written, and Lee's fate sealled, allready before the first episode. But even if he isn't killed off at last, there might be a game mechanic-problem. As I get it telltale is experimenting whit this new decision system (don't get me wrong, I love it), but they might figure out by episode 5 that the amount of work in maintaining a multiple branch-story like that is simply too much. If we were to follow Lee in a second season, the second season would have to base their game on the choices made in the first season. In other words, there would be more and more branches, and more and more work per new episode.

My bet season 2 follows Lilly

[iss1111]

i was wondering after episode 5 is there season 2
i think there is going to be season 2
tell me what you guys think

[Maximuswood]

I'd love for there to be a season 2, maybe in the future

On the one hand i want ten million seasons of Walking Dead game!
On the other hand imagine if all ten million Seasons are about Lee and Clementine then there will be 70 million decisions to incorporate. So if they do more seasons it should be about diffrent protagonists and characters. a 5 episode season for each season {thus limiting how much work they have to do on the diffrent decisions and all. Maybe crossing over diffrent seasons characters. Like if 2010 is when lees story ends in episode 5 then we meet up with Lee/Clementine in Season 3 in 2012 for an episode before they part.

it would be sooo nice but then you have to buy the episodes again

[The Grey Ghost]

Things that will get them to make a Season 2:

• Let Kirkman(as he's sole rights owner) know you like this
• Let Telltale know you like this BY BUYING IT
• Hope and Pray
• ????
• Profit

[CapnJay]

how do we tell kirkman? I tried telling Bryan lee Omalley i liked scott pilgrim on twitter and he didn't even notice. so how do we do it?

[The Grey Ghost]

Brain and Robert are two different people so give twitter a shoot, robert also does a monthly comic with a letters section so email that. he's also got his own website with I believe a forum on that and email...so there's plenty of ways to tell him you want a season 2

It's not the Lucasarts I knew years ago . Now they should be known as "StarwarsArts".

This sums up my feelings exactly.

Not that they make bad Star Wars games, but... it seems a shame that they used to be so much more innovative than they are now.

Its a cycle, of yiu listn to retronauts manic mansion episode the lead on that says the tide on what Lucas arts changes depending on a few factors such as studio head, to what the devs want to make
