The Walking Dead Game: Season 2 Cut Content [Episode 1] 

I was kinda hoping they would put some actual effort in with the remaster that came out recently and maybe include at least some of these things. They did actually include one thing that was cut (the church) but that's about it.

What church?

@@InColdBloodTTG What church tho?

@@nunokuno I believe it was just the model of a church in The Final Season, nothing important just some imagery. It might've been in a different season

I really would have love that skybound add this in the definitive edition ...

Wanda True so fucking True

@@billybobjohnson8325 yeah

We’re can I wacth the final season deleted content?

@@akiokai in the telltale office or to their nearest junkyard idk

Most games sadly... rdr2 bully gta sa

They could resolve it in a subplot if they bring Christa back...

And since Mike doesn’t die he could be revealed to have been one of the bandits after all. Idk.

@@DiabolicalPaperClip Nope. "Mike" bandit is named Ralph sadly. So no chances of Mike being a bandit.

My guess they were scavengers who thought Clem and Christa belonged to another group they were starving/low on supplies which why they seemed to be unwilling to think it's just an 11 year old and a woman alone in the woods.

@@MrBanditheart yeah exactly not everything has to be connected to each other

Yeah there's a couple of things like that I didn't include like Rebecca's pain/grunts, mainly cause there's not much to say about them. I tried to keep things interesting and avoid stuff that was maybe a bit too longwinded/boring.

Rip omid we need a flashback for that guy :(

We need a dlc for Omid before he met the group

Hey dude, *I'M OMID*

whats the name of the songs

Because they feel as though working on like twenty games at a time is smarter and more practical than making like maybe two at a time, allowing for more ideas to flow and be implemented neatly.

It's especially odd since Clem will never see Mike again anyway.

I’m guessing that because they removed the option to shoot mike in ep 5 because it would be out of character for clem, who at that point was still really young, they also removed clems one of clems motives for wanting to shoot him

I think that was mike

Cant tell

Even then, in a survival situation uphill typically is the way to go because it's easier vantage point as well as to know where water is. Idk but that would have made a better decision piece if they did that

That's fine, the reason I wasn't certain about that info was because the writer for S1 recently on twitter said he helped write the dog scene and he left telltale early on.

@@InColdBloodTTG Yeah, I saw that too. I'm pretty sure it was another writers idea that as put in but was dropped in favor of that because it seems more interesting.

He'll go crazy with joy haha.

Nothing he doesn’t upload

Lol

The guy hasn't uploaded in 11 months.

He talks too much for my tastes

I waited 10 years before replaying this beautiful game and it felt like the first time haha

Me too! Now Luke's dialogue makes sense. It would have given a more tense atmosphere.

Maybe they didnt have time?

KiRo , unfortunately with some of those choices Clementine would have never run across the group at the house, she never would have raised Aj and probably would have never even met him.

Time constraints/budget are a bitch

Jessica Thompson some weirdos actually don’t like a.j. / having a baby around so they would’ve done that

@@jessicathompson236 she would have died in episode 5 with aj no matter what in the blizzard

And your hat, cause if Sam was hungry enough to eat it, other dogs will be also.

No feed the dogggg

I think you're right!

probably has to do with the fact that season 2 came out several years ago

Actually, I think I was wrong on the canoe thing. People have said that it was probably used to help Clementine jump onto the stairs to climb higher. >It seems like Telltale just uses a program that lip-syncs it to the written dialogue. I'm not quite sure. They definitely have a lipsync system from what I can see but I think it's manual, not automatic. I could be wrong. >Was anything cut pertaining to the cabin portion? One very minor thing. But it's technically not cut. If you listen to the cabin door (and by listen I mean stand outside, don't click the 'listen option at the door' it's hard to hear but Luke/Nick/Pete had different voice actors (probably placeholders). Alvin and Rebecca sounded the same. But that's about it. >It would be really odd if that part stayed the same throughout development. It's unfortunate we didn't learn more about Clementine meeting Luke's crew. To my knowledge, the cabin did stay the same. But my next video goes over some interesting developments of the Season, one of them involving Luke that you'll see soon. >Good thing Telltale is terrible at cleaning up their files, am I right? Actually, TWD Season 2 is were they began to clean up their files. S1 is messy as hell and Wolf Among Us is a disaster in terms of how much shit there is in it. There is literally audio for voice actors doing their auditions for the characters. Compared to their older games S2 is much more organized.

Interesting. Can't wait for Episode 2.

I love your videos and if season 1 is as big as a mess as you say, could you upload a cut content of that one?

Unfortunately not, sorry. I know that Pete was supposed to live a bit longer if you chose to go with him and he would stay back at the cabin (because he was still bitten) and try to 'hold' Carver off while the group left him.

I know this comment is 5 years old but I just played this game for the first time a couple of months ago on Xbox and I had the same glitch happen to me. I seem to recall that the prompt only appeared once and I wanted to look at other things first and then when I went to look at the rabbit corpse again the prompt was gone. I was playing this game tonight trying to get the prompt to appear again but I can't. I can't find any info on it online either. Do you by any chance recall which part of the forest the prompt to look at the rabbit corpse appeared?

I swear I had the same glitch happen to me a couple of months ago on Xbox. Do you remember which part of the forest the prompt appeared to look at the rabbit corpse? I know your post is 5 years old and you probably don't remember but I can't find anything about this glitch on the internet.

Thanks! You're the first person to point out Clem petting the dog with her hat attached haha

well, it's in the description that he'll (probably) make next a cut content video not only for episode 2 but for the rest of the season Two as well and all that cut content is going to be in one single video. I don't think we have to wait for long for that to happen.

That is interesting stuff you put there

I was going to make an entirely seperate video on all of these things actually and analyse it! (That's why the video is titled 'Cut and not 'Scrapped' since these things didn't actually make it into the game) You ruined it now. Thanks. No but for real, pretty interesting stuff. I totally forgot about the Vine actually. I thought that site has been closed so it never came up in my mind.

cool

Where is it now? Isn't Vine shut down?

The Video is down... anyone has it + the couch scene

Yes, Luke and Alvin were always meant to be there. Yes, that animation is from the cut choice between them. The reason you don't see Alvin in the animation showcase is because it wasn't relevant for that specific animator. It's why some details are missing from the environment, the actual scene playing out in-game would have had Alvin somewhere in the background or off to the side somewhere. It was a freelance guy who did the work I show in the video, not a telltale animator, so he only had access to what assets he was given. As far Luke/Alvin vs Nick/Pete go - we only know what we've seen. It's possible Luke jumped back to help Clementine or Alvin on the other side of the stream and more zombies came out of nowhere which seperated them both. It was definitely always meant to be that way because of the promo art as you mentioned as well as Rebecca and Carlos having a throwaway line as to why they aren't at the cabin (the final game just 'pathed us' to the Nick/Pete choice as this scene was probably already complete when they changed their mind about the fishing scene and didn't want it to change too much).

@@InColdBloodTTG Thanks for answering! RU-vid crapped out on me and I didn't get the notification. But yeah, that definitely cleared up a few things. I've always been having doubts about S2 and it's cut content in general, and ended up researching a lot of stuff (the fake S2 original story copypasta BS was something I believed at first until I realized it was just fanfiction that the TWDG community blindly spread around and started believing; it sucks how people just blindly believe this stuff without researching first), I know you pretty much covered everything, although I still heard of a few curious things such as cut voicelines of Omid, Rebecca, Sarah, which I never really got the chance to hear so far. I also had another question regarding the Luke carrying Pete animation found in Michonne (?), where he slowly stepped forward and idled around while doing so. It seriously looked like Clementine was going to help him carry Pete, and it would be a small playable segment where the animation would play (hence why Luke was walking so slowly and looking around like an idle animation), but I'm not sure if I'm reaching here or not...what do you think about that? There's also quite a few interesting pieces of animations (Rebecca holding the talkie, sitting in the ski lodge bathroom, Clementine knocking on a door, Kenny shoving Sarah, stumbling away from Sarita), and I am especially curious about a few scenes/choices that got cut (Clementine using the canoe to head downriver, possibly being able to choose multiple paths?). We can't exactly get full answers about those but it's always interesting to theorize, and sometimes we can always get pretty close to the actual original thing.

​@@cosmicmariana RU-vid is honestly terrible with that. I think my channel is cursed in that respect since I get half the notifications I should. I know what you're referring to and I can't understand why people are so quick to believe it. The worst part is that I think it actually originated on one of my videos and got a lot of likes. I replied saying there was no proof of any of it, the guy deleted his comment but someone saved a picture of it (without my reply ofc) and it still spreads. As far as cut voicelines from Omid, Sarah, Rebecca -the only cut "line" I can recall would be Omid does have 'death breathing' sounds but we never hear it in-game. Might be audible if the music is turned off but that's about it. I think Rebecca does have one or two lines but they're usually non contextual filler like "Huh?" "Over there!" "What are you talking about?". Same thing with Sarah. The Luke animation thing I disagree with but it's my fault for being misleading. So, that IS the animation itself but the head movement was my bad and not accurate. If you look at the 'wave' animation after that, you can see the guy I used also moves his head side to side. Head movement is independent from body movement and I didn't think to stop that when I made the video so that's my bad. As for the 'pause' - I can't really explain that. Definitely strange though since anims always repeat immediately after being finished so the pause is actually built into the animation for some reason. Not an unreasonable conclusion, just wish we knew a bit more about the fishing scene for me to agree with you. For the other animations I've thought about it a bit more and believe: The Kenny shoving animation I personally think was supposed to be used for the talkie scene in EP3, where Mike, Kenny and Clem discuss who should take it. Sarah was originally meant to be there for that conversation and Kenny "shoving" her might have something to do with Sarah saying something dumb about the talkie so Kenny kinda pushes her as if to say "hey, don't blow our cover!" Not 100% certain but makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The Kenny stumbling animation I *think* is actually used after Carver's erhm... "beatdown". When Kenny jumps off the platform before everyone spreads guts on themselves. The whole talkie stuff in EP3 is just pure cut story bonanza. I should really talk about it because that entire scene at night time where they discuss escape plans before Clem steals one is so blatantly rewritten and shameless I noticed it when the game came out. Obviously rewritten last minute. Luke tells Clem to tell everyone he's alive and fine and the next minute Mike is all "oh yeah we already know don't worry about it" like what. The Canoe path thing is 100% my bad. I misread that section and people in the comments rightfully corrected me and said it was far more likely that the canoe would've been used to help Clem climb the stairs. I think the unique thing about Telltale Games is that when things are cut, you're not just cutting a level or object or something irrelevant, you're cutting chunks of the story and changing the context of characters and situations. It can work for and against the game's favour but yeah it was a lot of fun at the time for me to try and figure the things out digging through the files. A lot of work but I think it was worth it.

@@InColdBloodTTG That's cool to know, so it's possible it's just a regular cutscene animation for Luke. I did hear someone saying that Omid has cut voice lines of him announcing himself before entering the bathroom, which, while they sound like they could drastically change the story, probably would be what would get him shot in the first place, or something. I also think I heard about Rebecca having weird cut grunting voice lines. Also, now that you mention Sarah being there at the conversation with Mike/Kenny/Clementine about the talkie, the Born to Run chapter slide is quite interesting, as if you look closely, you can actually see that they're on the rooftop, not on the same place where they originally talk about it. A friend of mine told me it could just have been something they did to make it look ''cool'', but it does seem a little too convenient. Kenny shoving Sarah in that scene might actually make sense, because I think he's standing beside her in the slide? Regardless, I always had the feeling Sarah was meant to be there. Considering Tavia calls her along with Jane and Rebecca (and someone else?), I wonder if she wasn't going to be called by Tavia or if Tavia only showed up later. The fact that the Born to Run slide is shown at the rooftop next to the greenhouse is very interesting, the lighting also makes it seem like nighttime. Again, I'm not sure about it, it could just be a random ''cool looking slide'' they made, but it does look very cryptic. And yeah, I always figured Clementine would just pull the canoe under the ledge and use it as a stepstool. Especially considering it's position. It's still weird why it has so many chore files. But still, what about the game's code talking about multiple paths regarding the canoe? Were they considering having Clementine actually sail the canoe downriver too, along with the option to pick different routes, or is it something else entirely? (Mostly just curious about the ''cam_nav_riverPathD/B/F'' and ''obj_pathDownriver'' strings there) I also wanted to ask you about Clementine's hat; so after she wrestles Sam to grab it back, would the hat have been permanently crushed? We do know she would disgustingly look at it (the animation is named ''puts on gross hat'', yet she doesn't really put it on...) and then hold it after that, but is there an actual destroyed model for the hat? It looked pretty weird/crushed when you showcased it there. Just curious if Clementine would throw the hat away or she would still use it regardless after that. I think that the weirdest thing to me is that one time you mentioned Clementine having a ''luggage model'' attatched to her; it just seems like a very specific thing for them to do that, and luggages do seem like something inconvenient to carry through the non-flat surface of the woods and pines, and all that. The scene where Clementine/Sarah read books together (or Sarah gives her a book?) seem quite interesting to me. Sarah is honestly something I can never forgive Telltale for screwing up, she could have been such an awesome companion character, but considering the writing staff drastically changed in Episode 3 (especially 4 with the two writers who never even touched a TWDG episode before), they basically doomed her. I'm pretty sure Nick Breckon would have given her an actual proper character arc of sorts, especially something to do with the choice of teaching her to defend herself and all that. And yes, I wholeheartedly agree, it's very interesting to delve down on the cut content in general, it's pretty heartbreaking to see that there are quite a lot of really cool things they cut out and, most are things we will likely never get the answer to. Your research was absolutely worth it, and I'm also very thankful you made them, and hope you can still find a reason to go back and talk about the games again, eventually. Actually, I was quite curious; considering you're so knowledgeable about the games, I was wondering how you would potentially re-write Season 2 and ANF? It does go a bit beyond just restoring cut content, because there are genuine things that need actual improving, and many many missed opportunities. Season 2 screwed up by not keeping the writers consistent and throwing in a bunch of new writers for the hell of it, and ANF screwed up by having too many writers at once, and literally just one writer at Episode 5...I was so shocked when I learned that, lol.

>Born to Run chapter image Are you sure? I had to double check because I've never heard that being mentioned but looking at it, it does seem to be the same place. I can't find any grass texture on the roof that matches what's on the location in the final game. EP3 is notable for having a bunch of weird chapter images for sure but I can't see anything that makes it look as though it was on the roof. You're right about the lighting though, never noticed that before. I think the Tavia dialogue was recorded very late in development, Sean Ainsworth who voices Hank (guy who gets gets shot by Alvin) said he created that conversation they have on the roof a week or so before release. >Canoe riverpath No I think the riverpath was in reference to the other cut trail I showed in this video. Clem was definitely not going to use the canoe to go downriver, the code can be misleading sometimes. One interesting thing I didn't realise until a year or two ago is that they did cut a very small section at the end of the Winston 'fight' in the woods. Clem was supposed to dodge left and right between obstacles like logs and rocks and stuff. Instead she falls in and struggles downriver before it fades to black. That's the closest it ever got. >Clem's hat I think she would've patted it down or something, it wouldn't have remained crushed like that. Trying to get those animations to work was hell, let me tell you lol so it is a bit buggy. The 'gross' animations confirm she would've worn it again. Her hat is too iconic, no way would Telltale get rid of it so easily. >Luggage and Sarah That whole luggage thing is pretty weird yeah. I didn't even notice it until my friend mentioned it, and he only noticed it by messing around in freecam. There's very little context. Why was there money inside the book too? I've got no idea. You best believe I will never forgive Telltale for what they did to Sarah. I'm not sure if Nick wrote the Sarah scenes/dialogue but if he did, kudos. > I was wondering how you would potentially re-write Season 2 and ANF? Man... I don't know where to begin with that. It's something I thought about A LOT after playing S2 and even while it was releasing. For me at least, I think the first two episodes, while a bit rough around the edges - are a solid and engaging to start. A bit more gameplay and dialogue refinement and I think it would go a long way. I suppose the general gist of what I would do is have the main goal to be what was already original intended - Wellington. Clem and the group build up as the episodes go by, some people die, some people leave, but generally a small group of them survive the journey. I'd want Clem to go through hell and back only to come out of it stronger and braver by the end. I would keep Mike (but with his old backstory as the bandit in the woods) and reintroduce Christa at some point. I think it would make for some interesting drama - Kenny determinantly rescues her, would be nice to see her reaction to him alive again. I think Mike/Clem establishing a friendship before Christa comes back would also make things interesting because she'd be immediately hostile but Clem would need to defend him, making for a strange but cool reverse scenario. I think I would keep the Luke/Kenny drama that was initially hinted at in EP2 but I wouldn't turn it into Twilight or whatever lol. I would definitely have them reconcile. Wellington would definitely be the end point, as was always intended. Would definitely keep the road trip style story. Don't know how I'd incorporate Jane. No Arvo, no Russians. I think it would be fun to have a 400 Days group vs Clem group because it's a situation where ideally we like both groups and don't want anyone to get hurt which raises the stakes. Maybe have Sarah save someones life with her training from Clem in EP2 in the middle of the firefight. Maybe Lilly has Edith's role as a guard at Wellington, some extra drama. I'm just throwing a few ideas out there. ANF imo is just fundamentally flawed I can't really begin to rewrite it. At it's core I would say; Javier starts immature, disloyal and naive but by the end proves himself to his brother by protecting his family, taking responsibility, not afraid to sacrifice himself for others and becoming a leader. Like what they actually intended on doing. Instead they just made Javier flawless with zero leadership capabilities and let him take charge of an entire community he overthrew and permanently damaged.

Yeah some people have commented that. I've never encountered it myself though! It might be hidden somewhere around the terrain.

Hahaha, oh boy. 💀

Thank you! I gotta ask, how did you find this video? Were you linked here by something/someone or did you just find it? I got a lot of comments today so I'm wondering why.

X1 Gen KaneshiroX but they changed it round last minute either because of Lexi Porter (lol jk) or because it was so obviously gonna happen Imagine how much more of a 50/50 they would've had if they had stuck with kenny vs Luke instead of swapping it to Jane and ruining her character later in season 3. Shame because I liked Janes selfish personality because it meant she could survive.

What is "GOAT"?

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like my videos.

I think so? I'm not sure. It's much higher quality in S2 though and it was attached to Sam the Dog's cutscene.

I tried to be as thorough as possible but at the same time I didn't want the video to drag on for eternity - which can be a challenge. Thanks for subbing!

I'll put them in the description later on!

InColdBlood Okay, cool, thanks!

Added the songs to the description now! Some of them I couldn't find on RU-vid so I linked my dropbox if you want to listen/download them there.

InColdBlood Thanks bro!

nice music

That guy would be Victor and nope, there's absolutely nothing about him. However, there is this interesting scene that you get if you 'die' during the Winston chase: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CdpVzqH2vc4.html

Okay thanks and thanks for replying !
