It is but it's probably not going to work out
Hmm seems to be the other way around on 360. TWD ran fine, TWAU had some stuttering, but nothing bad, but TWD season 2 ep 1 had atrocious jank.

Good news for those whove been waiting for The Walking Dead: Season Two Season Pass to appear on the PlayStation Network in North America! Though later than anticipated due to complications with the Season Pass being a separate submission to the standalone episode, were pleased to confirm that the Season Pass will be available from Tuesday, December 24th.
As a special thank you to those who purchased Episode 1 early AND those whove been waiting for the Season Pass before playing the premiere, the Season Pass (which includes Episodes 1-5) will have a special introductory price of just $14.99 USD or equivalent until January 7th.

Played through this today and while I enjoyed it, I didn't get much enjoyment out of it either. I just didn't find it very compelling. It had some great moments, but it feels kind of hollow this time around. We'll have to see where the other four episodes go.
GOOD. I will get the season pass then.

Wot.
Also, I know I'm probably late to the party on this one but fuck if I'm buying this up front again like I did season 1. I'll probably pick up the season pass once episode 4 comes out but Telltale tested my patience enough with season 1 and TWAU is even worse.

Thank you based TTG. Getting episodes 1-5 for 15 bucks is sweet.

Yesssssss.
I was a bit surprised the Season Pass didn't go up at the same time as Episode 1.
I can't get enough of the stuff TTG puts out. I really like that style of adventure game, and it hasn't been done very much outside of PC games. And even then, not recently.

It was especially bad when Achievements popped up. Will have to see how it runs when I replay it.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Just wanna chime in to say I really loved the song in the credits.

Yeah, what was that? I forgot to look for it while the credits were rolling.

Ah, thanks!
So how long will it be until we get Episode 2? Are they doing monthly or bi-monthly releases?
Yep, same here. Maybe I should just turn off achievements again. I don't really like them anyway.
In any case, I liked the episode, especially that it was so grim. But it's really veering into too little player agency. Too often it felt like you were just pushing on to continue. It's a thin line TT is straddling, and in this case I felt they were on the wrong side of it. With The Wolf Among Us at least you were constantly trying to solve the puzzle of whodunnit. Even though in reality the game is strictly linear. With the randomness of TWD that's decidedly less the case.
Knowing Telltale, as long as they want! I dunno what makes these games take so long, they're extremely simple systems, the only thing I can imagine taking a while would be the voice acting (which has been great for the series thus far) and making the animations which from what I've seen aren't captured but are animated manually which would take a while.

$15?
Totally worth waiting a week. Thank you TTG.

My patience has been rewarded. Now the task of finding what I want for $4.99.

wait we need season passes now?
I think they meant you buy the whole season for 1 price rather than buy 1 episode for a fee, and then buy the rest of the episodes for another fee.
My brother got pissed when he bought the Wolf Amoung Us on PSN when they only offered episode one, and then 3 days later they offered the season pass package, which would have been cheaper than episode 1 + 2,3,4,5
Apologies if its been asked before, but avoiding going through the thread for spoilers. How do you know if your previous saves have been found for the game? Will "my choices" be unlocked? I just started playing and will go through the hassle of moving my save files around (PC) if I need to.

When you start a new game it will recognize your previous save files and let you choose which one to use. If the game starts up without it prompting you to pick a save then it's not reading your save files from the first game.
Thanks. I'll have to fiddle around with it then
Same here - maybe iExplorer (for mac & pc) would help?
I'll simply play through S1 again, at least twice (with "Rick and Shane versions" of Lee).

Any way to create a WD season 1 save file/ save state for pc version?
Any way to transfer 360 season 1 choices to XBOX 1 season 2 version?

Subete no aware
Just wondering, is there any kind of save database somewhere? I can't get access to my season 1 save file.

I downloaded season 1 from Steam on my Laptop and ran it once, Steam cloud copied over the saves. Worked fine.
Oh ok that's good to know thanks!

Didn't they say they consider their presentation of decisions a failure if the audience isn't split somewhere close to 50/50 on them? First episode had most decisions be very clear-cut, like 80%+ on some.
First episode was pretty good. Excellent cliffhanger preview. I also rescind my statement from after Season 1 where I wanted them to go with an all-new cast. The potential for continuity and throwbacks was just too juicy to pass up.

At first, yes. I then heard Jake and/or Sean talking about how they stopped worrying about it, as trying to force decisions which would result in a 50/50 split was potentially detrimental to the story.
We might not have to wait that long for chapter 2
Sounds to me like it's actually coming before march.

Hm, interesting. Wouldn't have expected TWAU episode 2 and the episode 2 for TWD to happen during the same month. Still might not.

Probably won't, they might save Episode 7 for the first week of March or so. I hope this means they've got their release schedule worked out.

Not actually that important
Anybody played this on iOS? I don't think it's using my Season 1 save, but I dunno how to know that for certain.
On PC it asks you to link to your S1's save, so it's easier to notice that than watching the recap and seeing if the choices you've made actually match.
tl;dr
How do you know, beside watching the recap, that iOS Season 2 is using your s1 save?

Just watched Season 2 Ep.1 and holy shit! That was great. So much that it leaves open and I'm already liking a lot of the characters. That ending.......Just speculation but
AWESOME EPISODE!
Who do you think the person that Clementine said "I thought you were dead?" I know a lot of people are thinking Christa but I'm actually thinking that's what they want and then MEGATON:Kenny.
AWESOME EPISODE!
You're watching the episodes instead of playing them?

Well I played the first season but dont have the money for Season 2 right now
Trust me I want to play the games. I'm play the Wolf Among Us right now.Well I played the first season but dont have the money for Season 2 right now
Alright. Can't imagine having to watch someone play through a game like this without being able to decide what to do myself.

Surprisingly he chose everything I would've done lol
Edit: @eLGee......I sure hope so!
Finally played through episode 1 today - I bought the season pass around Christmas but honestly haven't had a 90-minute block I uninterrupted time until today to go through it in one go. I liked it overall, but:
Jesus fuck with the scene with the dog. Seeing him impaled like that was fucked up beyond belief. I don't know what it says about me that violence against animals hurts and shocks me more than violence against humans, but I'm a major dog person. Hell, I was literally playing the episode as my two dogs were stretched out over my legs in my lap. :'( The scene with the dog skeleton and laying the dead boy to rest from Ep 4 of Season 1 got me the same way. It felt a little like I was being emotionally manipulated ... But it worked.
