Day 2 of The Walking Dead hinted by Telltale Games

Telltale Games shows a glimpse of new The Walking Dead content on Vine.
Telltale Games has teased new content for its well-received episodic adventure The Walking Dead.
On the social networking service Vine, the developer showcased a short clip showing a series of new characters to those seen in the first five episodes. The most lingering shot was on a bearded man called Vince, and the title of the post was called "Day 2."
Telltale has said its second series of The Walking Dead will begin its episodic release in Q3 2013, and series writer Gary Whitta has already suggested that the developer might bridge the gap between its two seasons with some additional content.
"Knowing that people are hungry for more Walking Dead…there may very well be more Walking Dead from Telltale before season two. We may have a little something extra for you between season one and two," said Whitta earlier in the year.
Alongside continuing The Walking Dead, Telltale Games is also working on The Wolf Among Us, an adaptation of Bill Willingham's Fables graphic novels.

Loved the first game by Telltale.. and hoping that this one is equally good and as powerful with its story as TWD..
cant wait to see what happens to Clementine and the other two survivors..
Please, no prequel.
The only reason most people played TWD apart from the fact it was a good game (even if it was more of an interactive movie than game) was to see what happens to the protagonist and to Clementine. The black dude is dead so we want a game where Clementine takes the center piece again.
3 Like I'm a big Walking Dead fan and bought the game on a Steam sale for $12 when it was all done. Definitely my GOTY. Now I have to decide if I want to get it in episodes or by it in full again. I really don't know if I can deal with the cliff-hangers, but then I don't know if I can wait that long to play it!
You know, Something in this series is harm me! i try to test different strategy but all way go through one point and final story! after all story is fantastic!! will be waiting!
Looking forward to this. I want to double dip on the retail copy for my PS3 since I have the digitial version on my 360.
The Story was the only thing enjoyable, and its just not enough "game" around the story.
no actual gameplay, apart from systematically clicking on things you meet along the way, and combine them in(extremely obvious ways). QTE's are NOT gameplay
7 Like @SauhlGood It's an Adventure game. They existed long before most modern iterations of FPS, RPGs, etc.
@IgotEpixx @SauhlGood Its not even close to an adventure game. Its an interactive movie but that's it. there is no gameplay to sepak of. ADvetnure games have puzzles you know for example. WD has nothing. just QTES and watching cutscenes
2 Like @IgotEpixx @SauhlGood I know I used to play them, games like Dragons Lair, back in the day. That bein said, theres a reason we don't use steam-cars anymore... Those days spawned those games out of necessity, gfx and memory didn't allow dev's to make proper rpg's and adventure games. And being spoon-fed all the answers is not how I remember "monkey island" either... Its dumbed down even by "adventure game" standards
@SauhlGood@IgotEpixx @SauhlGood@IgotEpixxDragon's Lair is not an adventure game. Try the text adventure Infocom's, the Sierra On-Line series like the Police Quests, King's Quests, Space Quests, Leisure Suit Larry games, and the Lucasfilm games like the Indiana Jones games, Loom, and The Dig. Those are adventure games. Dragon's Lair was an arcade game where you pressed a button to determine the next FMV. Very different.
Finallt we heard some more about this. Looking forward to it. But like most said, I highly doubt they'll top the first season, but I'm looking forward nonetheless.
@Dudersaper I dunnnooo. Pretty simple game and with an increased budget + criticisms from last game taken into account it might be better. Story-wise I'm not hugely sure, but I'm sure they'll manage.
@Jonno621 @Dudersaper Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll improve it gameplay wise. Maybe put in better puzzles or improve other gameplay aspects. Though as you said, story-wise I doubt they'll make something with as much impact, but I'm still sure it'll be great.
1 Like Finally some good news for a change ! I don't think they can top off season 1 though,especially the ending.
1 Like I think it'll be tough to top the first season, but nonetheless I look forward to more Walking Dead from these guys.
1 Like I don't get why this series was so loved. Every emotional or moral choice you "make" was so hamhanded and contrived. Terrible writing. Terrible voice acting. Terrible game making. I played through every episode and the only feeling I had was that of being ripped off.
@AggrandizedUser No. Not terrible writing, not terrible voice acting, and not terrible game making, because it wasn't a game. I wouldn't expect your hipster 90s kid ass to know that though because you've never written anything in your life.
1 Like @AggrandizedUser More of a narritivc game. My wife doesnt like gaming but likes the walking dead, needless to say she bought me the game and watched me play it she even played it was like a "show" to her. I enjoyded very much. It was just like its own show.
@accesdenied @AggrandizedUser But the narrative was terrible. Nothing in that game felt natural or spontaneous. It was very obvious the game was pushing a story with every corny line it delivered.
The "moral" values are entirely meaningless as well. you cannot have moral choices without immoral choices. And that game has absolutely no immoral choices. You never are given the opportunity to intentionally be cruel or abusive or "evil". What's the point of any of your choices if you can't choose to do bad things?
@Humdinger80 @AggrandizedUser dropping Ben in the tower wasn't a choice. It was more of a negligence. You had to just wait for the timer to run out so he would fall. That's all the game had. You either played a good guy hero or were negligent. You couldn't intentionally be cruel or evil. Killing the cannibal brothers wasn't evil either. They were dangerous people. How about killing clementine? Or raping someone? Why can't I just have the choice to kill whoever I want whenever I want? How about manipulating people so you could lead them to their death purposely? These are all real choices you should have. Without them, any of your morally good choices are meaningless. Why be good if you can't be bad.

Did you not play the game? Of course there were "evil" choices? The option to kill both cannibal brothers at the dairy farm in Ep 3 or dropping Ben in the tower in Ep 4 are just 2 examples.
@IgotEpixx @WantYouBad Yeah that's the worst part, it keeps selling that lie over and over throughout the game. The second can't be as well received because theywon't be able to trick people again.
1 Like @far-outdude I want to know more about her future too but not in a way that will take away from the first game's ending.
1 Like Will season 2 still involve Clementine? I loved her relationship with Lee in the first season but I don't know how I'll feel about her with some new character in the new game. I'm excited, don't get me wrong, but I don't know what they're planning.
1 Like finally do you know how long I been waiting for some walking dead season 2 information even if it is a short 10 sec clip. Thank you
Please make a badass main character this time.
lee was cool and everything but he wasn't a badass like Rick grimes or the Governor.
@MaxRoi04 How is rick a badass? Lol. Clearly you haven't read the comic or even seen the show, he's hardly a badass.
@MaxRoi04 lol I agree lee was cool but damn the number of time he falls gets hurt or was dazed was just too much. I remember playing and saying "again"
@MaxRoi04 Yeah, because hacking at a crowd of dead heads with one hand to make his way to Clementine while burning up with a fever doesn't make him badass.
2 Like @MaxRoi04 As long as the game is still zombie survival and not zombie beatdown.
1 Like @MaxRoi04 What do you mean Lee wasn't badass? He starts off the story in the back of a squad car headed to prison for murder.
@Noshi_Tocho @MaxRoi04 oh yeah, cause he killed a man. oh, he was so angry. She... his wfe... he just... he couldn't handle it. When he... omg. He saw her with another man! OH THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY. KILL STAB KILL STAB. So much EMOTION. My GFX card can't handle the EMOTION!!!!11!!
