The Walking Dead Finally Reveals Gameplay Video

The Walking Dead Finally Reveals Gameplay Video

Plus more chatting with Robert Kirkman

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 24 March 12 at 22:38

Much of the time when we covered Telltale's The Walking Dead, we've reminded you that if you're looking for a bloody romp through a wall of the undead masses, this game was more than likely not going to be it. Telltale's intent on making a different kind of zombie game, as well as staying true to the franchise, meant bloodthirsty zombie slayers would be better off hanging with Frank West or vacationing on Banoi.

The Walking Dead looks to be more of a point-and-click adventure but will still allow full movement of your character. Judging by this new gameplay footage featured in the "Playing Dead" series, the gameplay is similar to their PS3 exclusive Back to the Future titles. You can check out this whole video with Kirkman and the gameplay, or if you're just looking for the game, jump ahead to the 7-minute mark, and then again just before the 12-minute mark.



Now that we've finally seen the game in action, what do you think? The Walking Dead will release in five episodes. Episode one will be available for 400 MSP next month.

Meh.
Don't like the show and it with it coming out in parts they should have made it a retail game.
Guess they want more money.
N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Each one will be 400 MSP, totaling 2000. That's only $25. If it were retail, it'd probably be $40 like Jurassic Park,

The game looks pretty average at best. 2,000MSP for it? Nah, i'll pass thanks.

Hated season two of the TV series, hour after hour on a farm waiting for something to happen, then it does, then they put a break in the season for a few months before resuming, haven't watched it since, and won't either. (wouldn't be so bad if the women actually looked like women and not like 10 year old boys dressed up like drag queens. Disgustingly thin, tis america though, they love that stuff.)

Oh, I still think it should be a retail game. Not a fan of these split-up titles.

I wonder how much gameplay each episode gives you. They may only give you a few hours each and you will think it was worth 400 but not the full 2000.

The game looks a little too cartoon-y to be The Walking Dead, so I dunno if I'll really bother with it. The show is really good though. smile

Thank you for giving the time points to forward to so I could see the game play and skip pass the "interview".

I had to LOL when the character thanked the player for fixing the radio by putting the batteries in the right way. This isn't a zombie apocalypse simulator, its a MARRIAGE simulator.

Like that the graphics are fairly similar to the comic......although it would be even better if they'd done it in black and white.

toxicitymitch said:ive already seen season 1 so no real use in basically "watching" it again....Yeah cause this game is just gonna be a re-telling of the events in Season 1 roll. I can't wait to play this game. I'm really glad they made it a unique experience like this. The game and show are more about the story then anything else. I think the gameplay will work well. Also glad they made the characters look more like their comic book counterparts. Would have been stupid if they made them look like the actors on the TV show.
Jump right out of a creek!

Voice acting sucks. Looks exactly like borderlands. I lost interest in this.

Really surprised they made it a point and click adventure, that's a pretty niche market for such a mainstream success.
