Oh nice. Downloading PSN demo while I wait for TT to put it up on their site. lol
According to Steam I'm 2 hours in, finished 5 of 8 chapters in episode 1 and I'm loving this game.
There are some puzzles, but they aren't that difficult. What I'm really enjoying is the intensity of the game. There are some pulse pounding moments, and the action aspects work amazingly well for an adventure game. Plus there are some heavy handed choices you have to make, and some you have to make right away. Looks like choices you make will carry onto future episodes too which is awesome. Really impressed, can't wait to get more time tonight to finish this episode!
Edit: Green team for the win here as well. No issues with the game performance wise.

Well the PSN demo was fun. Short but fun. I see myself double dipping and picking that version up too like I did with BTTF eventually.

Can't decide if I want this on 360 or pc, hmmmmmmmmmmm
Just finished it. Enjoyed the episode in choose-your-own-adventure way, actual gameplay is what it is (haven't played any other Telltale games but this one reminded me of Heavy Rain), story and music were the highlights for me. "Next time on ..." -segment was too long, had to stop watching since I hate spoilers.
Very much looking forward to the next episode!

PS3 users. It runs and looks great. It hithces very rarely, and has nice shadowing. Season pass bought.
I just bought it, installed it and finished the first episode.
It's my favorite Telltale game so far as far in terms of graphics and gameplay.
I had little to no issues. At the start, I got a few stutters, really minor. After 5 mins, all smooth.
The animations in general are a bit rough here and there but I'm used to that from Telltale. The voice acting was pretty decent and I really felt connected to the world they put me in.
I also love the choices and am very curious to see how they use that in the later episodes!
Nice thing at the end where you can see what the other players picked in relation to you.
Nice job Telltale!!

I'm halfway through I'm guessing. I'm
I'm noticing tiny stutters during transitions now, but it by no means takes the enjoyment out of the game.
at the drugstore, trying to find the guy his pills, cause he had a heart attack.

Just played the demo on the ps store, and I really liked it. I can't wait to buy the first episode tomorrow when it's out here.

Finished the game. It only lasted 2 hours but it was pretty decent. I like the concept of your choices altering the story further down the line.

Love it but it stutters like crazy even though I have an Nvidia card, I'll try turning shadows off.

Is this related at all with the comic/TV series? Or is it standalone, telling the story of another survivor (in the same world) no one's ever heard of? Unfortunately I've yet to read the comics, and I've only seen the first season of the TV show, so I'm wondering if this is something I should even consider buying eventually.
Seems to run concurrent with the storyline in the comics/tv show. Game starts at the beginning of the out break. I noticed one cameo so far but this is a separate tale.
Looking at all the technical issues, it seems like console version might be the way to go?
I took the advice of some of the others in this thread and turned the shadows off. It runs perfectly for me, and I'm on an ATI card.
Completed it in just over 2 hours. Knew it was going to be good but it's far surpassed my expectations. Characters and writing are excellent, and the graphics are a perfect representation of the style of the comic.
Oh yeah, the dialogue sounds pretty low quality and compressed at times.

Finished it on PS3, really enjoyed it. If Jake and Sean are around here, know that you guys did a fantastic job. I think it is the best thing Telltale has done yet.

Preordering it should still work. They haven't released it on their site yet. It will be out though sometime today on the site. Keep in mind they are Pacific time so anytime before midnight their time.

As a huge fan of Telltale (played everything since Bone, minus CSI), this is my biggest annoyance. I understand why they do it, but it still bums me out.

Glad to see people enjoying the game! 
Just finished playing episode 1 on my PC (had no issues with performance).
The game was fantastic, the wait for the next episode is about the only downside I can see. Although I am looking forward to replaying it to see the other choices play out.
For an adventure game it packs a powerful emotional punch, and a good deal of tension. Very good stuff!
Easily the best thing I have played from Telltale yet.

This is the only reason I haven't already jumped. We've gotten Sam & Max and BTTF free so far. TT loves us! lol
My God, I just played the demo on the PS3. I really enjoyed it, went ahead to buy the Season Pass- this game feels great. I like the action too- in some odd ways it reminds me of Heavy Rain, but much more tense. The story (from the little I've seen) really feels in canon with the graphic novel. Wow. This shall be a crazy ride indeed!

Short and sweet. Just finished it. Don't turn the game off when you beat it, it shows scenes for the next episode, waiting month to month for releases is going to be hard. I also find it kinda neat it showed statistics on what other players did for key choices in the game. The FPS did get a little hairy at the final scene, but eh, was decent for most of the game.

Yes, it makes the voice overs sound really awful -- I've some issues with the dialog, but maybe later on it improves. Technically though I'm disappointed with the performance. Going to try disabling shadows.

I switched back and forth between a controller and M+KB but eventually settled for the latter. There are times you have to perform quick actions and the mouse moves the crosshair faster across the screen for that.
OK, cool, thanks.
Yeah I was surprised how tense the demo zombie situations were. The restricted actions combined with minimal UI selected...whew.

Maybe for the whole thing, episode one is only like 475 megabytes.
