Hecky Yeah we do!

HiggsBoson2142 · 11/21/2012, 09:07 pm

I do...but without Kenny, Duck, Doug, Larry, Ben, it just wouldn't feel the same.

NessaT · 11/21/2012, 09:09 pm

Yes we need a Season Two. With Clementine, please.

I dunno, I'm not ready to count Kenny out yet.

And that's not a "It might have grazed her cheek, or Lee's that one special immune person." hope.

We don't see him die... I think there's a reason for that.

We do, for the love of the greater equation, please start it a few years down the line in a stable goddamn settlement, and don't let it go to shit in the first episode.

I don't care if the protagonist gets separated, has to come back, whatever. I love the series, but there needs to be some hope left for humanity. Don't go the Kirkman route and just keep piling shit on until fans just give up in a collective meh.

harrowed777 · 11/21/2012, 09:22 pm

We need a season two, there are questions, there is always room for growth of a story.

ImTheBest56 · 11/21/2012, 09:33 pm

Yes i believe we need a season 2 because i have so many questions i need answered and i also feel that since this is a walking dead variant that TTG should do the Robert Kirkman thing and keep making new seasons until you cannot possibly write anymore because every human being is dead

Maybe lilly, but Glen is a definitive no.

I would hope they would give us an answer to this ending in the next season.

If not, thats rather stupid in my opinion. Can't just leave that season with a cliffhanger and no answer at all. Crappy writing if thats what happens.

Honestly I thought it was over after she shot my Lee, and I wasn't happy. Not sad, though during the scene I def was, but mad that after all that it ended with me not knowing if Clem would be safe.

JackalOsiris · 11/21/2012, 10:25 pm

Yes...

*Hero1* · 11/22/2012, 12:59 am

I don't think we do.. Season 1 stands as a complete story.. The game was Telltales most successful and it made them a lot of money though, so I'm sure they will continue going as long as the sales are there

Perfect_Cell · 11/22/2012, 01:09 am

Season 2 doesn't have to be exactly the same. It can follow the route the end of this season almost took with radioman. Instill a governor type figure or some other major HUMAN threat that follows you all season as well as the regular drib drab zombies etc

Made me laugh. That is seriously the only issue that I have with the Walking Dead. They do so much emotionally for the characters but as actual viewers, readers, or players, they just pile on crap and make it hard for us to be hopeful that anything good will ever happen.

In fact, I remember reading somewhere and either Kirkman or someone working on the TV show said something along the lines of, "There is no cure, there is no safe zone, there is no place that has not been touched." And I immediately lost some interest in the series. Because as a viewer, reader, or player, you are hoping that something will go right, that they will somehow find a place where they are safe. But by saying what they did, they say that it is not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN everyone becomes infected and/or dies. And what fun is that.

I mean at that point the ending is set, the characters all have to die in some way, or people have to do a lot of zombie killing to make the world better again. And even then, everyone would turn when they died, so you would never be safe again.

QuarterPounderVlad · 11/22/2012, 03:21 am

We do. We just fucking do. Hail the walking dead!
Though with so many dead people... Well... Not sure If i can take it anymore.

Sirei · 11/22/2012, 03:33 am

Yeah I thing I am Legend is a good viewpoint to that. Let there be someone out there that can save humanity or let there be safeplaces ppl can get to and live on. If not I don't know, you can just blow up earth, I mean it is really pointless then and if lee doesn't come back... well I think my reason for this game just went out of the window. Too bad choices don't matter at all.

Ninnuendo · 11/22/2012, 03:35 am

I don't think we'll see Clem again, I've explained why elsewhere.

rachellouise85 · 11/22/2012, 03:44 am

I think we'll start as someone else, then we'll find out about Clem in episode 2 or something.

dustpuffs · 11/22/2012, 04:07 am

"Need" and "Want" are two different things. "Need" another season? No. "Want" another season? Yes

Doxepine · 11/22/2012, 04:08 am

I haven't played any of the Telltale's games (aside from TWD, of course), but I think they must've had some ideas on what the season 2 should look like. Season 1 was amazing, so the bar was raised very high and I'm sure they're aware of that. So I don't think season two will be just cutting off coupons.

Alyais · 11/22/2012, 04:37 am

It would be a terrible mistake not to include Clementine in your season 2 experience. Terrible. I have a lot of faith in Telltale and I don't think they would create an amateur mistake. In interactive storytelling you never put a character on the sidelines that your participant is attached to unless its for tension purposes.

I suspect that Telltale will open Season 2 with your new character. It will give you some time, maybe an episode or less, to grow with the character and identify with him before it then reintroduces clementine. They could opt to begin you all the way back at day zero but I doubt it since it would require them (by my formula) to 'skip time' during an episode which is something they haven't done and would be a mistake.

In fact, I think that the two figures at the end are your new 'survivors'. I suspect they will start your story and conclude it with you walking on that hill and seeing Clementine. From that point on Clementine will be involved in your new group. I suspect that instead of starting at 'day z' they will have your two survivors explain their past months to each other or to Clementine when they encounter her. She'll also explain her story which, if Telltale is cool, won't just be a 'skip scene' and will instead be a full story told from her perspective based on your choices in Season 1.

Alternatively the figures could be Christa and Omid however I think that finding those two would be a pretty good 'character goal' for Clementine in a season 2 story. Otherwise she has no immediate motivation outside of survival which makes her story less interesting due to a lack of conflict.

Assuming they keep Clementine, which they should, they will have to introduce her in a way that allows her to recap the events of season 1 in case the participant didn't play season 1. I also suspect that Clementine's introduction, loyalty, and behavior will change based upon your advice to her.

Clementine will not be the protagonist and Telltale will need to make that clear early on because so many of the members of this forum think she will be. That is why I suspect a late entry for her into season 2 (towards the end of episode 1, or its middle). They will need time to build up a new protagonist that you care about. If they're smart (and my theory is right) they will also shift the 'father complex' of needing to defend clementine to your new partner which will allow Clementine more independence.

Playing Christa and Omid would not be fun.
