Playing Dead Ready to Consume Your Brains for a Third Time

The third episode of the webshow Playing Dead has officially been released over at Telltale's The Walking Dead website. This week's guest is The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. A good portion of the show focuses on why it was decided that the new game would not be a shooter that follows the story of Rick Grimes and gang. Read on for more details, and check out the show below!

From the Official Press Release


In this episode of Playing Dead, host AJ LoCascio is joined by very special guest Robert Kirkman, the Eisner Award-winning creator/writer of The Walking Dead. Kirkman, who runs his own Skybound imprint at Image Comics, where he's a partner, talks about why the game isn’t based on Rick Grimes, why it’s not an open-world shooter, why player choice and decision making is a big deal and why he chose Telltale to make a game based on The Walking Dead.
The episode also features the very first extended look at the game’s Adventure Horror game-play. In addition to Playing Dead episode 3, Telltale has also posted the second of a series of video format Q&A sessions on the games’ official website (answers come from Lead Designer Sean Vanaman and Designer Harrison Pink). Gamers are encouraged to ask more questions for future Q+A sessions by emailing playingdead@telltalegames.com or by leaving a message at (707) 701 DEAD. The Walking Dead is a 5 part episodic game series coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC, Mac and other leading platforms. The first episode will be available for download in late April. Playing Dead host AJ LoCascio provided the voice for Marty McFly in Telltale’s Back to the Future: The Game series.
