Girl, you'll be a woman soon.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season, is now available for pre-order 10% off, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The scared little girl whose parents never returned home is now a fierce survivor on a mission: to build a home for herself and AJ, the orphaned boy under her care. It will require sacrifices, heartbreaking decisions, and vigilance. The last chapter in Clementine's gripping story brings unscripted combat sequences, more freedom of exploration, and the emotionally engaging brand of storytelling the series is known for.
The first episode "The Last Bullet" is scheduled for August 14.

NuffCatnip: Played the first entry of the series, are the other two (main) games worth it? How are they compared to the first game?

amund: If you liked the first one you probably will like the rest as well. Personally, I liked the second season best, that's when it got really interesting but hard to say anything without spoiling the story. Third season is more of the same, still good though. Overall, I think all the games are great, definitely on my top 10 best games list but should be played "blind" if you know what I mean. If it's long time ago since you played the first one, it might be a good idea to play it again. I think it makes the experience better, oh and be prepared to mess around with save files TellTale screwed that one up.
Thanks for the info!
Will buy the games tomorrow, playing through them this weekend sounds like fun. :D

Zoidberg: Walking Dead S1 was the only decent game from TT, it went downhill from there...
Sad that you don't like Sam & Max and Tales from the borderlands and Wolf among us :(

Then you really shouldn't play the games. They're not the least funny.

I've played S2, and a bit of Frontier.

S2 is not as sad and dramatic as S1, but it certainly has it's moments, esp in the later parts. If you're emotionally involved with certain characters from S1 it will be pretty intense at the end.

Frontier is kind of a mixed bag. The storytelling so far is really good, and they really improved the visuals. On the other hand - it really can't match the impact that S1 made (at least on me), at least in the beginning, but it manages to pick up a lot of threads from S2 - which are quite a punch to the belly at least like I played it.

So I'd say - if you like the first game, you can't go wrong getting the rest too. But they're different in a way and that "first time" feeling will never come back.

Started out really good. But too many other games...

Eh. I enjoyed The Wolf Among Us. Then I read some of the original Fables comics and realized that almost all that cool world-building and character writing was just lifted straight from it's pages.

Telltale is pretty much just a mediocre developer with the inexplicable ability to snag some incredibly lucrative IP to leech off of- uh... "adapt".

(Though I do not care for The Walking Dead in pretty much any form, whether it's comics, TV or video games. I'm afraid I have lost any and all ability to take the zombie apocalypse genre even remotely seriously.)

That said though, it does look like they've finally listened to people and updated their 15+ year old engine somewhat. The zombies now actually look detailed and gross instead of looking like PS1-era Resident Evil zombies as I recall they did in Season 1.

Thanks! I decided to get all the games, good thing I have two months to finish the first three seasons until the last one comes out. :)

Edit: Sheesh, I just finished the first episode of season 1, I forgot just how tough some of the decisions are. :D

You know. I'm actually curious about the "unscripted combat sequences" mentioned in the OP.

Can someone clarify what that means exactly? A proper combat system this time, rather than a cutscene with a bunch of QTEs? Regular QTE-fights with zombies, but they are placed randomly per playthrough? What exactly?

(For reference, I've only played Season 1)

I appreciated that one too, Wolf among us. But it already started to taste stale...

That's how they should renamed their studios: Tastes Stale Studios.

Also, the fact that tey kept that lousy engine of theirs, with the same bugs gammes after games, and not bothering to implement key rebindings, something that is really starting to drive me mad nowadays.

I don't care the least bit what they release now...

Sam and Max is Lucas Arts game (but I'm not really a huge fan of old point and clicks :p) and the other too well, as I've said WAU was fine but already starting to get stale and borderlands was interesting at first then started to get on my nerves pretty quickly (and the ending is the lamest I ever had in a videogame, or movie, or book...)

Maybe it's like with BSG:2004, where "they have a plan" and the creators themselves did not know that plan :-)

Telltale made three seasons of Sam & Max games

You are a 100% right! Tales from the Borderlands and Wolf among Us are brilliant IMHO! The Sam & Max games are also great but not directly comparable. Gameplay is quite different.

I do wonder if Telltale will go back to making actual games after this.

Well, if the tech-demo video is true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9USVc6w-DU

Then game might be more like TPS than previous games of the series.

Why would they? This stuff sells.
