Multiplat The Wolf Among Us

[Lethal]

First episode of 5 came just out last week for PC and xbox and tomorrow (?) for PS3.

Quote from Telltales website

The Wolf Among Us is a five episode series from the creators of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead. Based on Fables (DC Comics/Vertigo), an award-winning comic book series, it is an often violent, mature and hard-boiled thriller where the characters and creatures of myth, lore and legend are real and exist in our world.
As Bigby Wolf - THE big bad wolf in human form - you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come, in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences.

• Your choices matter: it’s not only WHAT you choose to do that will affect how your story plays out, but WHEN you choose to do it
• A mature and gritty take on characters from fairytales, legends and folklore who have escaped into our world. These are not the characters you’d see on a little child’s lunchbox.
• Play as Bigby Wolf: formerly the most feared monster among the Fables, now Sheriff of Fabletown and protector of those he used to hunt. He must restrain the beast within if he is to earn the trust of those around him.
• Choose Bigby’s actions carefully. Will you approach a situation calmly or unleash your inner rage? The way you act will determine how others respond to you.
• Set before the events seen in the first issue of the comics – you don’t have to know the characters or the world to play!

First episode was great, will be getting the rest.

Will be grabbing it on PSN. As most did, enjoyed Walking Dead immensely so am very interested in seeing what they do with this new series.

Have had a read up on it and it definitely sounds really interesting.

Hopefully I can find some time to play it though!

Just finished Ep 1 - It's a gorgeous game to play. Great story and characters. Only disappointment is having to wait for the next ep

Is it similar gameplay to Walking Dead?

I got it on PS3 so you have to use the joystick to move the cursor but it's pretty much the same gameplay.

Cheers for that, downloaded it and loved it, much better than Walking Dead.

 

[HBK619]

Just bought the season pass for this, as it's 17.51 for PS+ members right now.

Will download the first two eps and see if I can get onto it this weekend, definitely looking forward to it after how amazing The Walking Dead series was.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Cheers for the heads up on the Season Pass will get onto that.

Haven't been able to download episode 2 yet on xbox as there has been problems for people with the season pass.

Yep, sucks a fat one.

Microsoft is still having problems getting it right for season pass. So they have sent out codes so episode 2 can be redeemed. I just checked my messages and I got a code earlier.

Second episode was quality as well, a bit shorter though. I don't think it's as cut and dry as the twist has painted out to be.

 

[HBK619]

Just finished with the first episode. This looks like it'll be an amazing series.

The art style is incredible first off, beautiful colours, fantastic character design and just an outstanding use of this concept in general. It's too bad the framerate chugs along quite a bit and there's still plenty of hitches, it only feels a little better than The Walking Dead. Definitely the most disappointing aspect of the game, if it was just a bit better optimised it'd be pretty hard to pick faults with their work. Unfortunately there's a very clear and evident reason for the shitty framerate and hitches, and that's due to the game needing to look as good as it does, so therefore it's using higher res textures than the PS3/360 can handle. But they do go for what's right in the end, as if this game looked terrible it just would kill the amazing look the game has, the hitches and framerate problems tend not to hurt the gameplay enough that you can look past it.

I hadn't even heard of this 'Fables' series, but the way TellTale has worked it, it definitely makes me want to invest in this series more and see what it's all about. The story is great, the little nods and touches to all the fables and stories we've all no doubt grown up with is awesome to sort of go "oh yeah" about and mixing it in with this modern setting and built in a 'real world' offers a really awesome unique twist to it all.

MY CHOICES:

Spoiler

• Gave Faith my money as did 85.9% of others.
• Lied to Beast as did 59.6% of others.
• Went to help Toad first as did 71.5% of others.
• I went with the Woodsman as suspect as did 18.9% of others.
• Arrested the Woodsman as did 32.7% of others.

As for the story:

Spoiler

Great first ep, so many twists and turns. This one feels like there's more impact to my choices than Walking Dead, that said, that might not be as true once I get deeper into the story.

Didn't expect Snow to die, that made me sad.

Will hopefully get through Ep 2 tomorrow.

 

[boydsno1]

Picked up ep 1 as a mate gave me the code for ep 2. Loved it. Just a shame the games are so quick and such a big gap in between eps. Also the frame rate is still shocking. Great story though.

 

[HBK619]

Just finished up ep 2.

Probably wasn't the best idea to get through 1 and 2 within just 2 days, because now it leaves me dying for more. But at least I do have Walking Dead 400 days and Walking Dead Season 2 Ep 1 to get through while I wait.

MY CHOICES:

Spoiler

• I sympathised with Crane as did 63.6% of others.
• I persuaded the Woodsman to talk as did 63.9% of others.
• I let Snow come to the Trip Trap as did 92.4% of others.
• I hit George as did 28.7% of others.
• I opted not to hit Beast a second time as did 63.5% of others.

As for the story:

Spoiler

I agree with you Red Black and Blue that the twist isn't going to be as cut and dry as it looks. Otherwise we're looking at a very short 5 episode series! Will be interesting to see how much further we go in investigating or if more shit will pop up.

Glad Snow wasn't really dead.

 

[bok_party]

That was way too short

Started playing this last year. I have the season pass for both this and The Walking Dead game. I enjoyed the first episode. Played it twice in a day because didn't like my choices. Played the second episode when it came out. Had trouble getting the episode like most 360 users who has the season pass. But Xbox did message me a redeem code which gave me the episode.

Spoiler

Glad that Snow was alive although they didn't talk much about it. Not surprised about Crane though lol

Overall I love the fight sequences in this game. Bigby is a badass. Can't wait for the third episode.

I love the comics too.

 

[HBK619]

I love the comics too.

How many have you bought? I grabbed the first issue after playing this and will have it in a week or so, but I'm not sure if I'll want to keep going with them if it's different in any way to what this game is.

Is the consistency kept in terms of writing, style and characters? How deep does the story go?

Wheres the best place to buy your graphic novels? Cheapest place?

I just grabbed it off Ebay for about $15. There's a lot of different variations you can get, I just went the cheapest and smallest until I see what the quality of these comics are like.

I played the first 2 episodes last week. LOVED IT! probably even more than walking dead, which i was a fan of both the comics and the show. I went into this knowing nothing about it.
I was lucky enough to score the first 36 issues of the FABLES comics this weekend off my brother who had them hidden away.
while the art is fairly simplistic (its not bad) the writing and characters seem just as strong as this series. I raced through the first 9 issues last night. There seems to be some sort of cinderella based prequel series to fables, im not sure tho, maybe someone else knows how it works.

I also thought i read somewhere (maybe IGN) that wolf among us was a prequel of sorts to the comics. After reading the first few issues im not sure this is right...anyone know?

 

[HBK619]

Just finished Ep 3. Must say that this one had FAR less technical hiccups than any TellTale ep I've played so far, I don't quite know what they managed to do but this was pretty smooth overall really.

As for the ep, absolutely epic! This series is just phenomenal, I am dying to see what the next 2 eps throw up. I hate that there's so much time between them coming out, even though I completely understand it, it's just painful to have to wait!!

My Choices:

Spoiler

• I and 81.8% of players didn't interrupt Snow's eulogy.
• I chose to investigate Crane's Apartment first as did 37% of players (42% the bar and 20% Dee/Dum's)
• I made a deal with Jack as did 70.5% of players.
• I offered Flycatcher a job as did 96.5% of players.
• I didn't burn Greenleaf's tree as did 80.9% of players.
• I killed Dum as did 47.4% of players.
