The Walking Dead Debut Trailer Brings Cel-Shaded Terror
Written Tuesday, March 20, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Episodic saga The Walking Dead is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade soon, with the first of five episodes of the graphic novel and TV series inspired surfacing in late April. To mark the announcement of the date, Telltale Games has released a debut trailer, which is suitably grisly.

Boasting a cel-shaded art style that brings the awesome graphic novels to life, The Walking Dead certainly looks the part, and tells the story of a new group of survivors who'll have to endure a similar ordeal to stalwart hero, Sheriff Rick Grimes, escaping from the zombie infestation in Atlanta.

You'll meet both new and familiar characters during your journey through The Walking Dead, which commences with the first of five episodes for 400 Microsoft Points in late April. Check out the gruesome The Walking Dead debut trailer below.

looks like a zombie version of borderlands, lets hope the tv series games are better than movie games, quite like the looks of this and game of thrones

Might give this a chance if they're only 400 MSP a pop

If this game is anything like Dead Island, then this game is dead to me already.

@2. This is actually more based on the comic series than the tv series.

I hope this isn't another lame QTE fest like Jurassic Park was, Telltale is capable of doing much better.

Reasonable price since they said each episode will only take a couple of hours to finish.

Glad it`s on arcade so I can at least check out the trial. Luckily I got Episode 1 of Jurassic Park with the Blu-Rays so I could treat that as a trial as well, I`m not too fond of TellTale`s work but I can appreciate their apparent attention to detail and accuracies when it comes to doing games based on other people`s creations.

So rdiculously amped for this! Been pummeling through the comics recently, and the style of this game looks perfect. Will be interesting to see if they capture the essence.

Fully recover from near-death injuries in three days or less - 20G
Follow the ever-changing, bipolar logic of your schizophrenic wife - 50G

I want to be optimistic, but the series isn't giving me much reason to. Oh, and I'm hoping there won't be any actual gunplay; after all, there's no challenge with headshot autoaim!

The Walking Dead = YES!

Telltale Games = NO! They made that lame ass Jurassic Park game, and if this is anything similar, I'll be hugely disappointed.

I really hope this doesn't disappoint, seeing as I'm a fan of the comics and the show. If the writing styles compared to the comics are similar and gameplay is decent, I might get on board for this.

New group of survivors? Okay, this is NOT a walking dead game. Just another tired-ass zombie game using the show to push sales. Just get Left 4 Dead from a bargain bin. You'll be better off.

Sweet. I have been following the novels for years, since the first one. I stay watching the TV show, so now I will play the game.

I only wish they treat the game with the same care they do the books and show. If not don't do it.

@44 There would be no "real" the walking dead tv series without the novels.Im guessing you didn't realise that the exec producer of the tv show also writes the novels? and if your still not sure the bloke at the start of the trailer, he actually created the walking dead. So novel, tv show and game ARE the REAL walking dead.btw read the novels you wont be sorry

Needs Daryl Dixon.
I think that's one of his arrows in the last walker? Though it's blurred so it could easily be something else /:

I agree, they should have done a season pass with this one. Kind of expensive otherwise.
