The Walking Dead: A New Frontier

It's a game good enough to follow the fate of Clementine, the protagonist so far, but it wasn't executed well: the writing is average at best, with a lot of inconsistencies (dialogues ignore some of your decisions and are sometimes random) and implausible behaviour of characters. It's similar to the Michonne game with the difference that in the latter there were at least a lot of characters who were well developed. And then again, their behaviour was much too often unbelievably stupid - I know it is a typical feature of TWD productions, series included, because it allows characters to be killed more easily and makes up for poor writing skills/ideas of screenwriters, but the result is that suspension of disbelief is not always a thing. A typical example is that zombies are not noticed even in open spaces until the very last moment, and then quicktime events follow, of course. In this game we are Javier most of the time and Clementine is just a co-character/companion that apparently you are supposed to influence somehow for future production(s)?, looking at the summing up of what Clementine has become in the story at the end of the game. I wonder if it influencea her decisions in the final season, but I doubt so, knowing Telltale. She herself is not very believable in this game in that the makers decided to make her a badass, which does not seem very plausible, when you think about it, even if we assume that she has acquired some good survival skills. She is too young for many of the actions she performs. Dialogue system is poor, again, as certain dialogue options give you dialogue lines that make no sense in relation to your pick. I restarted certain checkpoints several times after I got a surprisingly idiotic reaction from my character. In this game there is no option to "rewind" episodes to previous checkpoints - once you have gone past another one following the choice you are considering to change, you have to restart the whole episode to change your decision.

Javier (Javi), notre héros, est appelé à venir rapidement dire au revoir à son père, mourant. Son frère David est dehors, et lui annonce qu'il est mort et qu'il souhaitait voir Javi. Rapidement, la situation va s'envenimer. Puis les évènements commencent "aujourd'hui". Kate, la femme de David et Javi se rendent dans une casse, accompagnés de Marianna et Gabe, les enfants de David. En trouvant des provisions, un groupe rival va faire dégénérer le tout. Pour ma partie: +Réalisation globale de meilleure qualité +Direction artistique cel shading bien fichue +Nouveaux personnages travaillés/réussis +La continuité scénaristique et de nos choix de la saison One et Two +Suivant nos choix, retrouver des personnages de la saison One et Two +La consistance de Clementine, très présente +Les liens forts naissants entre Clementine et... +Introduction bien sympa +Des moments forts +De nouveaux thèmes abordés +Les choix/re-jouabilité +Narration toujours soignée +Doublages de qualité (VOST) +Musiques efficaces +Ava +Paul, alias Jesus +La voix d'Eleanor +"maligne", enfin bien écrit dans un jeu ! +Kate qui tourne le volant=bien fait et rare dans un jeu vidéo ! +Episode final de qualité +Le récapitulatif final ≈Quelques bugs visuels ≈Formule qui s'essouffle -Clavier encore et toujours QWERTY -8h de jeu=2h de moins que saison Two et 4h de moins que saison One -Parfois, choix de dialogue/réponse sans aucun rapport ! -Traduction française souvent incorrecte, non faite (l'épisode 4=catastrophe) et texte manquant -Emphase de l'action sur l'émotion -Véhicule en mouvement, roues fixes=pas choqué chez Telltale ? -David claque une porte=caméra/immeuble qui tremble ! -A un moment,"3 jours plus tard"=tout est nickel, comme neuf ? Encore plus éloigné du charme de la saion One que ne l'était déjà la saison Two, A New Frontier n'en reste pas moins dénué de qualités déjà connues, mais la formule montre ses limites, et la traduction française est mal réalisée. Toutefois, l'ensemble est honnête.

Well, after finishing the final chapter, I would love to play season 4. I am satisfied with this game, for it was worth the money. However, I experienced some glitches during the gameplay of the final episode. Also the characters sometimes act strangely. I still consider Season 1 and 2 better games, but when the next season comes out, I'm buying it. Javier is a solid protagonist, but I still feel like playing as Clementine in the next installment. Should you be not decided, don't hesitate and buy A New Frontier. It is a TellTale standard and a thrilling game as well.

Even less interactive than seasons 1 and 2. A lot more sitting back and watching different scenes play out with quick-time events. Less walking around...and the sets felt smaller when you do get to walk around in many places. So in this case it was kind of a bummer. However... The graphics are better...and the writing still isn't bad. I liked the characters here despite the mixed feedback of this season. The pacing was solid with a decent sense of closure for this "chapter" in this game series. I bought this game on sale and don't regret my purchase. People looking for serious gameplay or puzzles won't find it here. This is a leisurely game that builds tension through the story...not the gameplay. As long as you're okay with this I think you'll have a decent time with this one as I did. It does tie into the first two seasons in a few spots. Not necessary to enjoy this season but it definitely helps. I don't recommend anyone starting here though. Seasons 1 and 2 are cheaper and frankly are better experiences overall. As a big fan of this series...and as a casual adventure gamer I give this game a strong "C+". Maybe a solid "B" for people who enjoy interactive stories, rather than hardcore point-and-click adventure games.

Well... I have to be honest I didn't knew what to expect. The episodes were much shorter than the previus ones, and that's why the story itself was short too. However I loved to get to know with Xavi, he became quite a fav for me. Clementine... well I felt sorry I couldn't play her anymore only in backflashes. I kinda didn't like her in this season, though in the second she was much more complex. The graphics still good, the story.... was pretty different. I liked the family drama and loved that love triangle. But still felt this empty.
