This is the same world as the show right, just different characters in different location?

No its set in the Comic Book Universe, prior to the actual comic's beginning

You guys gonna make me buy this aren't you?

I would, yes. 
The first episode alone had quite a few heart pounding moments, and it was only like 2 hours long.
May 24th can't come soon enough.

This.
Still need to start the second season of TWD though. This makes it easier for me to think about holding off til the summer sale.

Ok ok, I thought the show was based on the comic book universe.

Its ok. It hitches sometimes, but mainly only during transitional scenes. The final scene with a lot going on, the fps did get a little hairy, but nothing major.

they mirrored eachother until the end of season one. I won't say anything else
To an extent but the show deviates in a lot of big ways. Not sure if any of those are relavant to the content in the first episode though as I haven't played it yet.
Since it's not up on Telltale's own shop yet, so I can't play the copy I paid for yet.
Between this and having trouble getting Back to the Future to launch on my Mac day one, I think I've officially learned my lesson about buying directly from Telltale. Disappointing too since I do like supporting the developer directly when possible. I guess I'll get over it if it's up by the time I get home from work, but really wanted to use work's much faster internet to download it.

If it sells like Sam & Max, maybe. But they have only said Season 1 for now. Both Back to The Future and Jurassic Park didn't get more than one season though.

If successful there should be, and it looks like it will be

Me and my wife love the TV show. She pretty much hates all video games except Dance Central. Any chance she will enjoy watching me play this? (I doubt she would play it herself).
Gary Whitta

Yeah I think it's actually a great game to watch as well as play as it plays out very much like episodic TV.

Oh, and I really like the music. I was it played more often.

Excellent. It's what I was hoping for out of this.

This. I have no preference whether I buy it on the PS3 or the 360, I just want to get whichever version has the fewest technical snags. What was the consensus on their efforts with Jurassic Park and BttF as far as comparative performance goes?

I'm stuck at the drug store.
I went ahead and bought the season pass. I absolutely love this already, and I can't wait to see how Mr. Whitta's writing plays out in episode 4.
Does anyone know where the second battery is?

I couldn't find that either. Just the one. You don't need it to finish the episode though.

Played and beat the PC version today. It was quite excellent. I haven't played an adventure style game in years and this one was a pleasant surprise. It definitely has a tense atmosphere and the choices you make generally lead to life and death, which I liked a lot.
Took me a couple hours to beat, and I'm already thinking about playing it again and making different choices to see what happens.
I experienced no issues with the game on PC with max settings on a pretty old ATI card, so I'm not sure what all that was about but anyone wary of technical issues should definitely pick the game up.
edit: I should add that I have shadows set to high as well on my ATI card.

So they aren't getting it up on the Telltale site tonight. Server issues totally screwed them. They are in the process of sending out Steam codes though to those that preorderd on the site. Got mine.

Ah...not that bad...better than waiting for season 3 of the show lol...too long but oh well hopefully breaking bad comes back on soon.
Is this the first game Jake and Sean designed together? Or were they responsible for Jurassic Park as well?
That is a little more reassuring, maybe others were just having crossfire issues or something.

Is this game approachable for someone whose experience with the Walking Dead consists of viewing the first episode of the TV series, and a few random pages of the comic series?
I'd say yeah since it tells it's own story.

Another team green person on PC (GTX 680) and it's running without issue for me. Minor stuttering as data is being loaded in but nothing bothersome. Nearing the finale right now and I'm really enjoying it as a fan of the comic book and the show!

Absolutely, I am in a similar situation (only the 1st season of the show) very little of the comic. Had no problem getting into the story.
Got mine too and after complaining figured I should give them credit for the decision to hand out codes. Very cool.
I understand they're a pretty small company to have their own distribution platform so they understandably have some issues at times. Just wish they were a bit faster at communicating those things -- even if "oh my god, everything is on fire" kind of news isn't what almost any company likes to share with consumers.

So i just finished it and i like it a lot. So, who
did you save in the ending?
We were co-leads on Poker Night at the Inventory, Sean wrote and I directed episode 3 of Tales of Monkey Island, we were on the Puzzle Agent 1 and 2 story team together, and were co-leads on a game which got canceled before it was even in production. This is our first full series as co-leads though.

saved Doug
he's based on Telltale's old web developer/IT guy (who also hosts and programs the idle Thumbs website).

Bought the season pass as soon as I finished the demo.
Episode 1 was fantastic! Highly recommend all fans of the comic and/or show check this out. Telltale have done right by the property.
