Who the 2 people in the distance really are.

[CarScar]

The character models look a little too unique to just be placeholders for Christa and Omid IMO.

[dinofire]

I think they're just placeholders :P

[swebonny]

Some people over at Reddit theorized that it could be models from other TTG games used as placeholders.

[K0t0]

Holy shit its Dexter and Mandirk grownup

They clearly arent placeholders silly, if they were then why put in the hair?

[Zeruis]

This got creepy. The guy on the right looks like a zombie...All in all, I'd say these are just placeholders.

[AnnaSan]

Let's try not to over-analyze this too much

[Demopan]

To all the people saying they put in a low amount of effort on them: They're just silhouettes when we see them. This is a lot of detail for something that could have been a 2d sprite.

These are fully modeled characters, signs that season 2 is already in development. These guys just need textures and they will be full on people. I'm willing to bet you anything they are season 2 characters, not placeholders, specifically modeled for season 2.

They look kinda like walkers

[DreadMagus]

C'mon, people, don't overthink it.

TTG didn't "expect" us to see them - so they're either placeholders or they're a bait and switch like "christa's suicide video".

Lol reminds me of squidwards suicide

But yes they look like walker models to me

[ThatoneJeff]

Is that John Madden?

[JakeSt123]

I played the game again and have pretty much deduced they're walker models. The pudgy one to the back looks like it uses the same model as one of the walkers you push off the fence in Episode 2.

I could totally see he him with a game board explaining to Clem how to avoid zombies and run a great defense, lol.

[Sutinen]

The first guy looks like Doug and the tall guy is defo a walker model, look at his arm.
They might have just thrown some models in there, it's not like it actually matters since they are silhouettes.

[Jim_Weinermobile]

Kinda reminds me of Mermaidman and Barnacleboy...

The details are added during rendering or something I presume.

Maybe there's some LOD stuff going on? (Level of Detail)

I take it the head is gone for First Person style camera.

[plaqueconspiracy]

HAHAHA holy shit!

That's creepy as fuck! Right guy looks either like a zombie or a straight up hick hillbilly pedophile cannibal and the right guy looks like his dumber, fatter brother or henchman.

I wonder if Clem will have to load the gun with the ammo she found and shoot them.

Anyway, this isn't a hoax. I didn't use a TTG extractor, though. I used a generic game-scene extractor that analyzes an entire 3D scene and outputs a model file from it called "3D Ripper XD".

But yeah, not a hoax. Try it out yourself using Maya and the above program. Works with Max 2012 as well.

Cool find and thanks for sharing.

We couldn't get a, like... Youtube movie of them walking over the hill and noticing Clem? Is that possible?

[Sox&Rocks22]

Think anybody from TTG can confirm or deny these characers as placeholders? I think itd be great attention to detail if they are actual planned characters in s2.

[Araron]

Good fucking job man.Well,its obviously not Christa and Omid then,damn.And Im sure TT wouldn't create completely new models just for this scene.
