Here's a new trailer Telltale Games just released for their upcoming Adventure adaptation of The Walking Dead:
Love the tone and visuals.
It's looking pretty sharp and good - Telltale game or not.
Alright, and I'm glad to heard Kirkman will be involved in this!

Gamin' NEWS! some Walking Dead screenshots
Telltale Games released some info and new screens of their upcoming new adventure game based on (yet another) franchise, Walking Dead!
Unlike the live TV show, it won't be another adaptation of the comics but rather some original story taking place in the same fictional universe.
With ex-LucasArt Dave Grossman out of Telltale now, it's Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman that will produce this new upcoming series.
Here's some pics:
The game is already looking like it will sport the best graphics of all Telltale productions so far. (though I still have a soft spot for Tales of Monkey Island mix of well done design and cartoon aesthetics)
Though I'm already fearing Telltale's typical sloppy animations from that first pic above. (where their problems really are, and not the graphics/visual)
It will be out on almost all systems in mid-2012.
(PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Max and Wii)

“Collaborating with Telltale on The Walking Dead continues to be a fantastic process. They understand the world and the characters that I created and what it takes to make a game out of them. What’s really exciting is that they’re telling a new story with new characters, so you’ll get to see the same world Rick Grimes did, but now from a different point of view,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. “Playing Dead is going to be an awesome way for fans to learn about the game and how it was made. It makes sense that Telltale are talking to people in this unique way because The Walking Dead is going to be a unique zombie game.”

Drawing - Rick Grimes "daily sketch challenge"
Walking Dead/Zombie-themed sketch for today!
Since I already did various "Walking Dead" or zombie-inspired drawings in the past, I decided to stick with actual WD characters this time around.
So I took this occasion to remake this old drawing from 2 years ago:
Only this time, I went for Rick's TV version instead
Here's some preliminary lines if ya wanna check 'em out:
Hopefully, Andrew Lincoln!Rick's recognizable enough here above :/

The Walking Dead - 1st impressions
So, yesterday I was finally able to watch the 1st episode of the live TV series based on the post-zombie apocalypse comic The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman.
Here's my first thoughts and impressions based on just that:
I really loved it!
Really! One of the best comic-to-live adaptations I've ever seen :)
It really had a beautiful cinematic feel!
And I mean that, unlike most current "hollywood" garbage-movies we've had lately. Most real "movies" dond't even have a nice look and feel, now all the time we only get shaky cams, digital blue or yellow-ysh recolored pics, 3D-gimmick to sell tickets and no content.
Here Frank Darabont and co. made a fantastic product. He's gonna direct a lot of upcoming episodes, write most of them and supervise the show, soe I've got big hopes for the future of the series.
Great production values, great shots, angles, scenes..etc..
Simply put, an amazing zombie TV show who rivals any of those recent zombie flicks easily!
And quite faithful to boot!

Comic NEWS! Walking Dead sneak peak
I'm a big fan of the comic book series "The Walking Dead".
Like I reported back in some earlier news post, the TV live adaptation looks to be right on track~
We finally have some sneak peak to look upon. Some early footage!
The first thing I want to say about that is...woow! They sure got the look rights! Be it the tone (grey-ysh), the character looks and clothes!
It's a very nice attention to the details, one thing is sure, AMC Production did great!
I don't know for you guys, but a Zombie TV show...that's something I would love to follow!
I hope it stays true to the original series by Robert Kirkman - the guy even confirmed he would direct himself episode #6 later on.
Here's a vid' with some footage, interviews and news:
Looks like it might actually turn out great!
Frank Darabont, creator of the live adaptation and producer & director sure is a motivated guy! He seems to genuinely love the whole project!
And finally here's a teaser poster to close this post:

COMICS NEWS! Games, new shows and big budget movies...
Hey gang! Here some fresh news for today! Mostly comic-related stuff...
First of all, Spider-man new game!
Do you know there was a new Spider-man game coming out soon?
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
It's a brand new Spidey-adventure across 4 dimensions (different Marvel universes) where you'll be able to control 4 different incarnations of Spidey with each their own unique gameplay.
I'm kinda interested in this one, since the last good Spidey games I remember playing were Spider-man on the Dreamcast and Ultimate Spider-man on the Xbox...
Well, there's a brand trailer showing some unique takes on some Spider-man villains for the two known specific universes:
Kraven will be a foe for the regular Spider-man.
Hammerhead will be featured on the Spider-man Noir dimension.
And Norman Osborn (the Green Goblin) looks like the multi-dimension affected and mutated him... I don't really like this one... Where's his goddamn' goblin costume?!
Anyway they still have two more universes to show us. People are already calling for the Marvel Apes or Marvel Mangaverse or the Marvel Zombies universe.. but it seems unlikely.
Let's be realistic, it should stay PG-12 (no, the noir is stylish but not gore!) and should offer a proper original gameplay. Spider-Ape or Manga would simply play identically to our regular Peter Parker.
I'm more expecting to see Miguel O'Hara/Spider-man 2099 which is quite unique, visually and universe-wise. Plus he can glide, use "claws" and much more fun stuff.
Ultimate Spider-man could look great (in cell shading) but wouldn't offer something different...
Perhaps an original universe instead? Something the developers could work with and be creative? We'll see...
I like comics, I like 2D games, I like side scrollers and over everything I like material games over digital current releases.
So here's the strange surprise of the day:
Batman the Brave and the Bold the videogame! (what a name!)
This one will be a 2D sidescroller multiplayer adaptation.
Quite a surprise!
*imagine playing any of the "guests" featured on the cover above!*
Some haters are already calling names after this one, saying it should be a wiiware/XBox live release.
Come on guys! Be realistic! Would kids buy this one more easily live, with their parents in a mall, or through digital release??
Anyway, I'm quite happily surprised to see some good modern 2D (over cheap 2,5D) action!
Enjoy:
Moving on.
I'm a huge fan of the graphic novels The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman.
It's going to be adapted into a live tv series, something much better and practical for this kind of story.
I hope this zombie post-apocalyptic survival tale turns out okay in live action... Anyway, here's a little promo for this upcoming adaptation:
Finally, the movie Captain America: The First Avenger is really coming out next year on July 22, 2011.
We finally have a good look at the Cap's second costume in the second part of the movie (from what we can understand from bits here and there, the movie will have two distinct story-parts as well as two costumes for the Cap - one during WW2 and a second in our modern era).
As you can see, those renders use Chris Evans face, the dude who's gonna play the Cap.
Not my first choice, not really happy with the casting here... I hope he does his job well!!
Bruce Banner/E. Norton and Tony Stark/R.Downey Jr. were pretty good match... You got a lot to live up to Mister Evans!!
Finally we can see that the Cap's costume is pretty well adapted for the live movie. In picture, in motion, it should appear pretty epic.
That's all folks for today~

Captain America live costume adaptation from promo material. Probably SEGA videogame adaptation.
