Wainy316 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I did enjoy how they even managed to capture the feel of the gameplay during the gun battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more main story - could have been any consenting relationship in ep3 - in fact something non consenting would have injected a bit more drama than that snoozeathon. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 7, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2023 12 hours ago, AJ said: I am curious how they do the second (third?) form of infected. OK, so you got the noobs, the clickers, the bloaters, and then these assholes that are supposed to be the sneaky beaky sort. In the game, they were supposed to be more advanced, but they didn't feel that much different from the noobs. Here is to hoping that the TV show can correct this. I don't think they need to do it if it won't add anything. But from memory those ones were much harder to spot? The noobs just wander about and when they see you they're loud and direct. These ones sneak around more. That could make for some very tense scenes if done right. Which I'm sure they will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said before, less is more. If every episode was full of zombies getting blasted away all over the place then you'd lose any sort of tension. Where the show differs from the game is basically it's already built up this feel of "if you encounter an infected, you're in big trouble". Two clickers in the museum would have been dispatched in seconds in the game. In the show it was a huge fight. I like that. You can't do that in a game because you need more action, but in the show you can use that to build tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Looks like the next episode will be a banger! What I’m most encouraged about so far is how much the missus has gotten into it, having no interest in video games whatsoever. The fact that it’s pulling in non-gamers whilst (I think) doing a great job of appeasing (most of) the gamers too should set this up to be hugely successful.

AJ Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One thing is a bit concerning. Nine episodes in total, they are up to episode four, yet they have hardly left the state. There is just so much more of the story to go, and so much to explore. If they are going to conclude on the ending of the first game, I hope the rest of the story isn't rushed through.

Feels about right to me Spoiler Episode 5 leaving KC 6 reach tommy 7 uni and Joel getting impaled 8 snowy bit 9 fireflies and epilogue but that could be like 30 mins long They're going to do the DLC episode too at some point, feels like David might be reduced down especially with kathleen but in general they can do it, the game has a couple of hours with bits like the sewers and the floating pallets, abandoned hotel maybe the holiday resort place that could all be cut out 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been watching it... yet. I am just gauging from what I know from the game, and it seems that they are only about a quarter way through the story, as it seems there is just so much more to go. We still have Jackson, the university, that town of "extreme survivalists" and SLC to go, plus whatever exploratory bits to go through yet. I just checked, and each remaining episode is under an hour. Are they really going to be able to cover this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does seem to be legit. I suppose I should put faith in the show creators. From what I have seen and heard so far, they don't seem to be mucking around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading that the first game would be spread across the first two seasons so I suspect this season will finish at around the halfway point of the first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
