No all models looks like that.

The details are added during rendering or something I presume.

You'd be surprised how low-poly the main characters actually are! The only high detail area of them is their face and their hands, everything else is rather cheap on the poly-count, which is another reason the game is so well optimized. Smooth shading is what causes them to look more detailed.

Ah, right. Excuse my ignorance XD

^^ I still hope Clem doesn't run into these two dudes, they look creepy as f*ck. Hopefully they are just there to be shadowy figures in the background, while not revealing who they really are. Can't wait for season 2; episode 1

Robbingrobin · 11/30/2012, 08:45 am

Maybe they're walkers.

Agreed, something looks odd about them - a really tall, seemingly bald and skinny guy with a pudgy guy wearing shorts? Maybe they might turn out to be good people though, appearances can be deceiving, and they don't have weapons. Maybe they escaped Savannah and lost a group too.

Just a thought - what if they escaped Crawford? They certainly look dodgy enough to be a part of that place.

it's chet and ben

but more likely it's just random models that mean nothing

Campman was not a red herring, it was what they used to refer to him internally(Telltale mentions this in their "questions for the walking dead team" thread), and is brought from the camp the car was near(??).

Though i wouldn't be surprised if they put these in purposefully after that.

I love how everyone assumes these guys can't be trusted or would be terrible protagonists for S2 because they're unattractive. Too bad there wasn't an option for Lee's last words to be "Clem, don't trust fat guys or bald guys."

I'm not sure TTG would put the actual S2 characters on there, but I don't think these two are necessarily bad guys. They look to be middle-aged men and it's not uncommon for those guys to be fat and/or bald. I doubt either of them will be the main character for S2, but it'll be interesting to see what role the two silhouettes play.

If this is true, then what happened to Christa and Omid? And what's the purpose of keeping the past game saves or telling Clementine to meet up with Christa and Omid or agreeing to have Christa and Omid take Clementine for?

That'd be my guess too.

Wouldn't be the first time something like this was done in a game.

Siniistar · 11/30/2012, 11:25 am

probably place holders to throw us off. TT mentioned they know people like to mess with game files so they have codewords for things, and this was major enough to call for model replacements i think.

Like Campman, we never actually found out his name... The are probably just placeholders and they probably haven't really started planning any characters much yet, so really it doesn't matter what they put in that file at his stage because they will edit it and change it around and put new characters in etc etc

Ryman · 11/30/2012, 11:39 am

Remember all the placeholders they had in the trailer for the Walking dead? Christa blowing her brains out in the trailer for example. Most likely just placeholders.

*Vainamoinen* · 11/30/2012, 11:44 am

If they DID put Christa and Omid's models in there, everyone would recognize them instantly, even at this distance. So as to avoid this, they'd put in... something else, whatever's there to put in. I doubt it's Season 2 characters.

HiggsBoson2142 · 11/30/2012, 03:08 pm

Think it might just be some walker models.
