In the 1988 movie “Big,” Tom Hanks plays a child transformed into an adult. During his tenure as an adult, Hanks pitches the idea of an interactive comic book that changes every time. Unsurprisingly, he is met with skepticism by corporate America: “You expect a kid to pay $19.00 for a comic book?” Fast forward twenty-four years and the answer appears to be “yes” as Telltale Games’s Walking Dead game is the embodiment of that unrealized idea, an interactive comic book set in the universe of Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic book series. In the Walking Dead game, each choice shapes your character’s actions, his identity, and how he is perceived by his peers. Telltale has effectively created a digital “choose your own adventure” book. In and of itself, this is not that big of an accomplishment, but when combined with the staggering amount of choices that will be presented to the player upon completion of all five planned episodes, I believe Telltale has perfected the model of how our choices ought to play out in the context of digital entertainment....
The trophy list for The Walking Dead: Season 2 on the PS4 has been revealed and unfortunately there is no platinum trophy. In total there are 40 trophies including 1 Gold, 24 Silver and 15 Bronze. The Walking Dead S2 is expected to arrive on next-gen systems later on this month at both retail and digitally.
A full list of trophies is available below: (WARNING!!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well guess a man will only get for Ps4 now (was going to get for both and plat both so now dev will get less support). Honestly why not have a plat? Your first game had one and it was impossible to miss so it can't be any easier. The Wolf among us for both then and TWD season 1 PS4. Well that's still 3 platinums to add to a man's collection. A man still supports the dev but this makes zero sense. Hopefully BF gets them both down to $20 or lower.
To be clear a man doesn't base any purchases on trophies. A man was going to wait for the PS4 versions of all the games regardless but was going to get the PS3 version as well before re-selling it just to get the plat for little to no cost (after resale cost was subtracted). A man only bothers to platinum a game if he likes it and never does annoying trophies like Resistance 2 10,000 kills despite that being the only one that he didn't have because if they're not fun why go for em?

Dear Game Developers,
Platinum Trophies sells games. Gamers check trophy Lists before they buy a game. An easy or "Onlineless" trophy list could be the tiebreaker if they can afford only one game. Trust me it does. Doesn't make much sense but well.....it's gamers of today. They need to be rewarded. Be it a 100 "Like" on their selfies, 100 "retweets" or 100 other gamers watching them play a game on Twitch.
Give them their Platinum Trophies.
real gamers don't care about trophies only these fake gamers do. a real gamer plays a game for fun not to get trophies
It's always nice to have trophies. Especially the platinum.
Wish starcraft had trophies and be released on ps4 or x1. I'll play it all day everyday.
You can care a little, not at all or a lot about trophies and it doesn't affect your status as a gamer at all.
Some people enjoy hunting for trophies. You don't. That doesn't make you better than them nor does hunting for trophies make them better than you. So please ;p
There's been many a game I've been on the fence about, about because of their stupid online trophies or lack of platinum trophy I haven't bothered.
You guys know a game can be fun regardless of whether it's trophies are difficult to get, right? Just because you can't get them all the way you like to play doesn't mean it's not worthy of purchase.
I was under the impression it was Sony that determined whether a game could include a platinum trophy.
A true scots man tries to get every platinum that he can get and I know..because I am one!.
