Why no trailer for Ep. 5?

[sfs99]

Why do you think there is no trailer for Ep. 5 in the game? For every other Ep. there has been. Maybe they relized that the trailers at the end of the Ep. has almost no relation to the actual trailer weeks to months later or maybe they just dont want to give away too much...OR maybe they were too lazy to make at least 8 different trailers for Ep. 5, who knows, POST and ANSWER POLL!

Maybe it's because of the relation that there are 8 different group outcomes for Lee's group at the end of episode 4. Because of this, there might be 8 different openings for episode 5. My guess is that it would've taken a long time to make a different trailer for each outcome.

they don't want to give away an EPIC finale
its too obvious

[The_Cheshire_Cat]

to keep expectations low

[gameaddictwn]

I'd be more surprised if they did release a trailer for ep 5.

[TheGreatRobin]

Because it will be released 2015...
No, seriously, I voted for "They don't want to give away too much, too early.".

[Panzer89]

Because they usually release the trailer soon before the episode and I don't think the episode is ready yet.

I took it that they want the finale to be a complete surprise. Even though previous trailers were made up of scenes not in the actual episodes, you could still get a basic idea of what to expect from them.

I don´t want a trailer, so it´s fine !

[Araron]

Its fine without a trailer.Anyway,as it has been said earlier in the post,there are 8 diff outcomes.

[TheShooter]

From my point of view, I think the staff want from us to be more excited.

The only thing I seen before any of the eps was the "Next Time on" sequences. I played the 1st ep without watching anything and I'm glad I did. The trailers spoil so much.

[cormoran]

I'm going for them not wanting to give too much away for the finale.

Also (hopefully!!!) the bits they wanted to show might change so much depending on your choices made so far that a trailer that incorporates them would have taken too much time to make.

[Tracerhaha]

To build up anticipation and keep an air of mystery about what will happen in Episode 5.

[TWDFTW]

They don't want to give ANYTHING away! It would ruin it because people would start to guess things and people might not want to know anything about it. I think it's best that way, it really leaves you in the dark about it all, I think it was a good decision

[2-_-DEAD]

They probably just couldn't show to much to avoid spoilers so they just didn't bother.

[KingOfTheDead]

I noticed the trailers in the game most of the things they say or some of the scenes never happen. Like in the ep.2 trailer it showed the brothers in the motel and it only showed andy he even had a different shirt i think it was delayed because they changed the story

[Viser]

Yeah, I think I'll stop with the trailers, especially the ones they upload to youtube. They made me think that Vernon was the walkie talkie guy for a while. Glad I wasn't not nice to him because of that.

This shows how much can actually change in development between episodes. Old plans might be out the window immediately after an episode is released. Maybe Telltale realized exactly that: that this kind of 'trailer' can only be a loose approximation of what's to follow, just an idea of the situation and dangers our heroes might face.

Sam & Max Season 3 had a brand new and cool intro sequence. But with every new episode, you could literally see how much pain it was for the TTG team to insert it at a right spot, and how disruptive it was to the very diverse atmosphere of the game to have a uniform intro at some spot. Episode 5 left this intro out completely. They saw that it did not work out and would break the mood, so away it went. The same could be true for "Next time on the Walking Dead".
