Walking Dead game gets new screens, behind the scenes video

See how Telltale is making the game

Telltale Games has finally unveiled the first episode of its game based on Robert Kirkman's award-winning zombie series The Walking Dead.

From the looks of it, the screens released are taken from cutscenes in the game, but nevertheless it looks like the studio's managed to adapt its typically colourful style nicely for a zombie-ruined world.

Along with the three screenshots, Telltale has put out 'Playing Dead', a video series that goes behind the scenes at the studio to show us how the game is put together. It's hosted by AJ LoCascio, who recently voiced Marty McFly in the dev's Back to the Future game series.

Telltale is expected to release a total of nine chapters in the Walking Dead game adaptation.

The adventure game studio secured the rights to the series last year along with the rights to make a game based on the Fables comic book series.

    Well it surely can't be much worse than the Jurassic Park game.

    And if it is then at least we know how to kill it.

    Um yeah, that and 3 increasingly good seasons of Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, the rather spiffy Back to the Future game and Puzzle Agent.

    Oh lordy that's just flown from a "buy just because I'm a twd fanboy" straight to "I cannot wait for this to come out and will specifically stock ms points to purchase each episode".

    Great video as well cvg and I'm going to have to keep an eye out for the rest in the series. Anyone else actually read the comic? With issue 100 only a few short months away and the current story arc throwing up some big changes for rick and the gang the wait between issues is terrible. Luckily Adlard manages to make copy each month and it doesn't have any of the scheduling issues of invincible (although that's been really good this year). Hopefully issue 100 will finish ottleys spoof side story with the governor and rick that appeared in #75.

    Anyway enough rambling I'm off to read thief of thieves... 8)

    well let me know your thoughts on the finished game as won't be keeping that close an eye on it and rather have a gamers opinion on it first hand. 2012 is shaping up to be a good year for gamers..

    I've got the hard backs, Sev. I love the writing, although the artist from the first book was much better than the later one.

    I think this game is a definite buy for me regardless. Big fan of the series.

    I get what you mean about moores artwork versus adlards although personally I prefer adlards now. If you like moores art than check out battle pope which kirkman and Moore did together years ago. Pretty funny stuff...

    What else do you read? Invincible? Any of the other image stuff like chew or butcher baker?
