Telltale Looking Into Save Game Imports For 'The Walking Dead' Season 2

 

To say we're excited about the second season of Telltale's "The Walking Dead" would be a huge understatement, but what about all of the difficult choices we had to make throughout the first five episodes? Will those decisions affect the continued story? Apparently, Telltale is looking into it.

In a recent chat with Red Bull UK, Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors said the team is currently looking into different ways to carry save data from the first season over to the second season, which Telltale is already working on.

"Right now we are just starting to form the concept for season two," Connors said in the interview. "This all remains to be seen, but we are definitely figuring out how to carry the saves over."

So, it seems likely that the decisions we made in the ifrst five episodes will effect the story right from the get-go in season two. But zombies aren't the only thing the folks at Telltale Games are thinking about for the future.

"Coming from LucasArts we always felt we could do a great Star Wars story game," said Connors. "We also love the idea of building out a deeper story to a great game franchise, something like Half Life Stories or Halo Stories."

Um, yes please! Telltale tackling a Star Wars game could be epic (am I allowed to say that anymore?). What do you think? Hit the comments and let us know!

Amazon looking to enter the smartphone game, WSJ says

Amazon, the number one retail site in the world, is apparently looking to move beyond the tablet market. WSJ has it that Amazon is working with various Asian component suppliers to create a new smartphone.

The Amazon Kindle Fire, which controlled a whopping 54% of the Android tablet market a few months ago, was a huge success for Amazon, due in large part to its low retail price.
Whether the upcoming device (should it reach production) will look to offer a similar type of appeal to price-conscious consumers is unknown at this point. There are indications, though that the screen size will be quite spacious, measuring between four and five inches.
This comes after news that Amazon are already creating a successor to the Kindle Fire, which will hopefully hit retail during Q3 of this year.
We'll bring you more info on the upcoming devices from Amazon as it breaks.
