I'm hoping they'll at least finish off Fables and TWD season 2 before either TftB or GoT are released...

They probably will, the only problem that I foresee is that by taking on those two additional games they're taking away resources from TWD and Fables when it's apparent that they're already stretched pretty thin.
They're going to have to start on planning and laying the groundwork for the other two series prior to finishing Fables and TWD. Hopefully the quality of their product doesn't suffer because of it.

Without a doubt - for GoT at least. They were saying at the VGX that they hadn't even nailed down what it will be about yet.

Just played the first hour of this, really nice stuff.
This is especially worrysome for The Wolf Among Us, as it is the smallest franchise of the bunch and will probably sell the least. If money or time gets tight at Telltale, this game will suffer first.
On a happier note, I just noticed this game stands nicely next to The Walking Dead in my alphabetic steam library

fuck off The Witcher
Played it last night, and I loved it.
At first, it felt a little bit too oppressing to me, but I got really engaged in the story towards the end.
But man, it runs like shit on 360, and the loading times completely break the rhythm.

Ending is awful. 
I kinda expected that to happen though.

Wanted to wait until the season was near complete, but yeah, started playing it yesterday and finished it just now. Holy shit it's awesome and what a cliffhanger. Started off maybe better than TWD and that was my Goty of last year. Hopefully if I mix it up with TWD the wait doesn't feel quite so long for the both of them.
Played through the first episode last weekend. Completely blown away by the game's quality and can't wait for Episode 2. I'm also tempted to start reading the Fables series, but probably a bit later.
Does anyone know if Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 is good to play for someone not familiar with the comic or TV show? I'm considering it just because due to Telltale, but I wonder if it's more rewarding for people already familiar with the franchise. What Telltale game in the veins of The Wolf Among Us would you recommend for a total Telltale newbie?

Fucking loved it! But where is episode 2? I will say the engine seems to run better on PS3 than the walking dead season 1 did. I hope season 2 will run just as well.

You don't need to know anything about The Walking Dead comic or TV show. There are only about two characters from the comic who appear.
You don't need to be familiar with any other Walking Dead thing to enjoy the first season of the game. It takes place in the comic universe and not the TV universe, but it doesn't really matter.
The Walking Dead is the only other Telltale series that's quite like The Wolf Among Us.
So far. The style will probably be used a lot from now on.I'd argue that Telltale's The Walking Dead is more enjoyable if you haven't read the comics or watched the tv show.

Some of us have been waiting over two months
Just a side note, I do fully recommend the comics if you enjoyed the first episode. The comics aren't quite as dark, but I do really enjoy them.

Yes and I find it infuriating. I really hope they do something about it. I'm being serious when I say my experience is being significantly lessened as a result. I find it immersion breaking, overly hand-holdy and just plain irritating.
If TWD S2 does the same thing I'm not buying it.
I 100% agree with you. I hated it in the Wolf Among Us as you couldn't turn it off.
They had the option in Walking Dead Season 1 so I have no idea why they removed the option, ridiculous and idiotic.

Very disappointed with the output from Telltale. This goes completely against what episodic gaming should be.

They have it in season 2, thank god.
Okay, now they need to hurry up and release episode 2 of this already. This wait is going to kill me.
Neuromancer

Ok that's good. But why only in TWD and not in TWAU? Makes no sense to me.
*lack of output
True, hopefully they step up their game once episode 2 is actually released. It'd be nice to have a new episode of TWAU and TWD every second month. But, then again, Telltale...
Grabbed it in the sale and played through the first episode in one go. Reaaaaallllyyy fucking good, started off way stronger than Walking Dead. All of the menus are a lot better designed as well, and the animation fluidity and bugs seem a lot better for me at least.
The ending though...damn. One of those times where a video game made me legitimately upset.

I played through the first episode and I'm kind of pissed at the preview. It showed way too fucking much. I feel like I've been spoiled.
Knowing Telltale, half of it is misdirection. Scenes will be out of context, out of order and with different audio.

I never watch those things. As soon as I finish the episode, I turn the speakers off and go to the loo or get a drink or something and come back when the 'Here's what people chose' screen is up.

Thanks for the heads up! Downloaded!
Damnit, I just bought it yesterday.
Edit: Contacted @xboxsupport and they're issuing a refund.

That's me right there. I was wtf am I buying this when it seemed like a tslking pig in one of the game's screenshot. Went into this not knowing anything at all and oh boy wasn't disappointed. Great stuff! But please TT don't go for this art style in game of thrones, even though I like it for this game.

Me too. Expect in my case I cover my ears and and mumble until the trailer it's over.

Finished the free episode on Xbox 360. Previously I played The Walking Dead's first episode which was also given out for free, and I have to say I like this universe and story a lot more. I could see myself paying for the rest at some point. Toad had some hilarious dialogue. However the slowdowns were disappointing... I'd be more eager to support the game without such issues.
Also, I keep seeing Wolverine in Bigby, kind of difficult to view him as a unique character (I had never heard of the Fables comics before this game.) I hope I'll get over this in later episodes.

I've read 50 issues of the Fables comic and Bigby is still basically Werewolverine.
It gets "worse" rather than better. (Not that it actually bothers me.)
Season Pass on Xbox is now $10.04

Got that on Monday too, time to hit up support again for another refund.

A dollar for every month the game will be in development. Love it.
Very tempted. Loved this first episode.
Edit: Whatever, picked it up. Ten bucks isn't bad, especially since the first ep was free.

Is episode 2 out? Vertigo seemed to announce it

Thanks. I bit the bullet after playing through the first episode. It's a nice change of pace from the Walking Dead, hopefully the rest of the episodes are as good.
I had also picked up the first volume of Fables from a comixology sale, the tone is much more serious in the game than what I had read in the book. Curious to see how they write around the ending of this episode to line back up with the book.
Magic solves everything.

Man I know there's probably other things going on and/or the issue is entirely unrelated, but perception is reality and not being able to follow up with Episode 2 of this in the midst of them announcing all their other projects is kind of crappy.

Downloaded Episode 1 because it was free.
This is my first Telltale game.
I really enjoyed it. Maybe a little better than what I expected and longer. I've always been a fan of adventure games and this goes back to the old Lucasfilm point and click style and combines it with Mass Effect dialogue options and Dragon's Lair action sequences. I don't know nothing about the comic books this is based on but I really enjoyed the game and story. Looking forward to where this goes next.

How much is the season pass normally?
Also, I noticed the game didn't run good at certain parts. Fortunately, it wasn't so much the gameplay but long loading times and sometimes, the scenes would freeze in place for a short time afterwards. Also, some frame rate issues but again, usually after it loaded a scene. It's pretty noticeable but I didn't have any issues during the actual gameplay that I can remember.
Gameplay was fine. The audio got desynced a few times because of freezing. And the loads were annoying. But not enough to really detracted from the story.
Regularly $15-20? And the first ep is supposed to be $5. I think the total series would be $20-25.
