The TV show isn't canon to the Comics so...

You would never see Daryl in a Telltale game.

Activison's making a game based on Daryl and Merle, so it's not entirely out of the question.

Activison is not Telltale.

I find it really unnecessary for the game characters to appear in the show. What makes the game so appealing is that your decisions influence them and changes how they perceive you; this isn't really possible on TV, so it would remove a lot of what makes them special and interesting. Not to mention that they'd never be able to portray them correctly for everyone, take Kenny for example, would he be a loyal companion or a dirty coward who leaves anyone he doesn't like for dead? Because these two are canon versions of Kenny, depending on what the player did on the meat locker.

Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Telltale own the copyright for the characters of the game? I doubt AMC would go through all the trouble to license those characters when they already have those of the comic book at their disposal, and even if they did, I don't think Telltale would give them permission to use them.

Honestly, I don't unerstand why every time the videogame industry manages to make a good story everyone wants to see it adapted for cinema or TV or what have you. It's as if they didn't believe in their own medium -.-


P.S. I'm sorry for any typos, I was writing this on my cellphone an some of the keys don't work correctly, and also, English is not my first language (that would be Spanish). Thanks for reading!

That's my point. Activision is making a game off AMC's version and AMC is promoting it. Activision couldn't have made the game without AMC's OK. Right now telltale's the walking dead is competition to their game.

While everything is the walking dead universe. The show and the game can't freely take what they want from each other. likenesses/characters etc. they can always pay for them but it is unlikely.

Two other genres. The one will be an adction-adventure game like Far Cry, while.. Telltales is a point'n'click. I do not think activision will manage, what Telltale did.

I bet in AMC's eyes telltales game is competition to their game. I think in one of the playing dead's they said AMC wasn't to thrilled about the game.

AMC is a fuckening!

The amc activision walking dead game wont be out for a long time tho so I dont see it as competition really. I mean TT walking dead came out in april of 2012 while the amc game wont be out until mid-late 2013...so maybe season 2 would be their competition but not season 1 IMO. Most will have played it before the other game is even released (all those that want to play it i mean)

Kirkman worked on the video game and the TV show, so again, it's not impossible.
