Default Since we go through the same routine every time Telltale releases something...

This game will not be released at midnight. Telltale doesn't do midnight releases because nobody's in the office then. It will be released sometime during Telltale's office hours (9 AM to 5 PM PST).

Figured I should get that out of the way.

Also note that this is just the release of the PC/Mac version.

Telltale releases their games during office hours.
Midnight is well after Telltale's office hours.

That's all the confirmation you need.

Yes, through several dozen former episode releases.

Do not expect this when you wake up in the morning right after Telltale opens. It seems to me they usually post there games 1-4pm Eastern time..If this is your first telltalegame this is how it will go. Tomorrow they will start a Waiting thread which usually leads to the fake release threads but the 24 hour ban will probably stop that this time around. Thank you for that Telltale. People will most likely still spam f5 no matter how ridiculous that is. This will slow the forums down making everyone think the game is going up when it is not. Then the site will go down for 30-60 minutes. When it comes back up the game will be available.

I usually get it the day after releaee where I am. If you are in Europe I suggest you relax and get some sleep on the 24th and wake up bright and early to download your game on the 25th. Somuch more relaxing that way.

so, i've never posted here before and the only telltale games i've played were all the Back to the Futures when they were free to me as a playstation plus subscriber. Being new to telltale and the forum, please bear with me. I have 2 questions. Question 1...Once purchased on 1 platform, can you play on other platforms for free? Meaning, if I but the PC version, can I play on my phone for free, or would I have to purchase again? Question 2....I do notice that it officially says release date is set for Mac/PC. Does that really mean that the PS store and XBox store would not include that in their update this week? I know this isn't an official post from telltale, but a semi-reliable source shows a release date for all platforms being 4/24.

sorry if I'm not allowed to post links! any answers would be much appreciated. thank you in advance for you hospitality!

Welcome to the boards! In answer to your questions- like any other game (with rare exception) buying on a PC means you only get the PC copy of the game if you want the PS3 version you have to get it from PSN.

I don't know about the PS3 or XBox releases, but I do know the iPhone and iPad will not release tomorrow.

Hope this helps.

Telltale can only control when they release PC version on their own website. XBL, PSN, and iPod releases are up to Microsoft, Sony, and Apple. I'm sure Telltale will let us know via twitter though and someone will mention it on this forum.

OMG!! That IGN link that was posted is so depressing. I've already had two PS3s that died on me, and I'm seriously considering getting my 3rd unit now after reading the IGN review, mainly this part:

"...If you're buying it on the PC or Mac, you get a five-episode season pass for $24.99 on Tuesday, April 24th. (EU gets the PC/Mac version for 24.99 Euros on Tuesday, too.) If you buy on PlayStation 3, you can grab each episode for $4.99 or buy the five-episode season pass for $19.99 on Tuesday, April 24th. (EU gets the PS3 episodes one by one for 4.99 Euros and the season pass for 19.99 Euros starting on Wednesday, April 25th.) If you get it on Xbox 360, there is no season pass so you'll have to pay 400 Microsoft Points per episode sometime this month."

SOMETIME THIS MONTH?! I'm gonna start hurling rotten chickens at XBL, nevermind rotten eggs. In the immortal words of South Park, YOU BASTARDS! (Directed at XBL, not TT)

Based on past history, does the games Telltale release tend to go up here first or open up for download on Steam first? Asking those who have history with Telltale obviously, this is going to be my first go round.

I'm about to preorder right now, curious which place I should do it so I can play asap! :P

I love statistics, but I honestly can't answer this question. Sometimes this way, sometimes that way. Both happened. Whatever you chose!
