Telltale Games

Everything is contextual, for ratings/distribution purposes. That said, there are some places we wouldn't go even if we could. For example, I doubt you'll see anything related to say...beastiality in Season 2.

There might be some night-time scenes.

(geddit? darkness?? ... ok ok, i'm going.)

Not going to see anything like rape. Look what happened when the Tomb Raider trailer tried to portray what could be a rape scene. The gaming community is just not ready for that kind of maturity in games. Which speaks volumes of the gaming community.

Perhaps one day games will be able to get away with addressing dark scenarios in the same way movies and books can, alas it won't be any time soon...

Can you imagine the field day Fox News would have if they realized that Season 2 involved child rape?

That said, I would prefer that the topic of rape be avoided, but I wouldn't be too bothered by it assuming that the scene is well done.

Even suggested child rape would send them into a frenzy.

Come to think about it I'm pretty sure TWD game had suggested rape.

not dark enough? it's dark enough, for the love of Pete!! Kirkman gave his blessing to the TTG group, so if it gets any darker, ppl would probably lose interest and move on to the next thing.

Will season 2 have more urban?

As i said earlier all this rape and pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia and what not would be off screen so fox news won't get raging boners that alert them that it's the right time to stir up hatred of video games and cause a whole mess.

I think season 1 was already pretty dark and made me do things which made me say out loud: "Holy shit!".
Plenty of games out there make you kill thousands and thousands of aliens, soldiers, demons, whatever, but I've never had the same reaction as I had when playing TWD.
They CAN go darker in season 2, but it will not make the game better or worse for me.

Lil Kis · 01/14/2013, 09:38 am

Just wondering when does season 2 come out? Anyone know? Thanks

I still have not played episode 4 and 5 of The Telltale walking dead videogame. But I have played episodes 1-3 and loved it. It's better than both the tv show and the comics.

I cannot wait for season 2

Lol Red Dead Redemption has rape scenes and even shows the naked girl being raped. Just saying it has been done.

I on the other hand would hate that being included. It can go darker by forcing the player to make tough morally questionable choices tho. There is a fine line between darker and psychotic. For example I love dark gritty movies and shows, gore and evil are entertaining to watch. But the Human Centipede took it too far and is the worst most disturbing movie I have seen.

Finding a happy medium is where they will go. They have already included murder and cannibalism. So i could see suggested rape, and more wickedness in the other people. And as long as there is a nice peace time to relax and have a moral compass like Clem, the game will have its balance.

yeah its like the difference between saw and hostel, saw was gory but was a really well made horror story, hostel was just pure gore porn

I honestly thought there was going to be implications of pedophilia in episode 5.

When you save Clementine from The Stranger.
I mean, you have no idea what he wants until you get to talk to him.
Even then, when you ask her if he hurt her, she says "Not really", which just sounded a little off.

You'd think her answer would have been a downright "No" if he didn't.

I'm glad they didn't, though.
That would be way too many traumatizing things to happen to her in one day.

Oberson himself, who never made an actual appearance (another thing I loved since it made for an interesting development for an antagonist), seemed to be much more developed within the context in the game.

So I think Telltale will make the next one dark, but I hope there is always a good story and explanation that compliments it as well and we don't have a villain like the Governor just thrown in for violence sake. Telltale did great job with the antagonists and I hope they continue to go in that direction.

Agreed. I read the comics after playing through the game, and honestly I was a little disappointed about how downright juvenile it was at times. The parts with the Governor (& Michonne's revenge) especially so. Really seemed like torture porn for torture porn's sake.

WDTG is just so much better than that. Any "darkness" in the first season is there for a good (thematic/plot) reason, and I hope it's the same for season 2 as well. If they just threw in a bunch of gratuitous rape and gore, that would probably turn me off Telltale permanently, and I've bought (and enjoyed!) almost all their games.

I thought the stranger hurt her in the sense that he dragged her by the arm or such, to force her to go where he wanted her to go(such as inside the closet), hence the response.

Phil_TWD · 01/16/2013, 12:34 pm

I suppose all that's possible, but it's up to TellTale how Season 2 will follow/play as.

As for the paedophilia/rape stuff, hopefully TellTale would allow to kill the fuckers or feed them to the walkers. They're not worth keeping alive.

Maybe TWD could be AO and in order to buy it you got to be 18+ on your acount to buy or a parents password entered

By logic 18 is for adults only, it's pointless to make it even more obvious.
