The Walking Dead information before i buy.

[...] and don't feature ugly graphics.

You mean aside from having 2 different character models for all the side characters?

Huh? 2 different models? I was talking about this 'cell-shaded' trend which looks like a dog's arse.

If everyone in the Walking Dead universe is already infected, then why do Walker bites still infect people? I know "being bitten" is pretty much iconic to zombie settings, but in this case it doesn't really make much sense...

In response to what you said, don't read if you haven't finished season 2 (not sure where it comes into play in the comic books).

Its pretty much like if you have the Flu virus in your system you can fight it so long as its in a small amount. However, if you get a big ass dose of flu pumped right into your veins than your gonna get sick. Its pretty much the same in The Walking Dead, everybody has it but its in such small degrees that it only infects you when you die and your immune system shuts down OR you get a big ass helping of zombie saliva mixed with infected blood and what not pumped into your blood stream, causing your immune system to lose the fight. It at least proves there is a way to fight it with a vaccine or possibly through your immune system learning to fight the disease over a LONG period of mild exposure(at least from a scientific standpoint, but just because science says so doesn't mean the writers do).

Spoiler'd for the same reason the above is:

That's a very hopeful answer, but if that's true, then the blood of a walker should be just as dangerous as the saliva, but I've seen no evidence to indicate that.

Spoiler

Not necessarily. Its like someone with HIV/AIDs. It is nearly impossible to extract the disease from their saliva alone, as it doesn't have as much of a concentration of the virus as in something like blood. Not to say the disease in The Walking Dead CAN'T spread with just saliva, just that scientifically both ways would be valid (assuming walkers actually produce saliva in the first place, which it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't considering they don't seem to produce any sweat and as such don't dehydrate at anywhere near the rate of humans).

Huh? 2 different models? I was talking about this 'cell-shaded' trend which looks like a dog's arse.

To each his own and everything but... are you INSANE? Personally, I thought The Walking Dead was one of the best looking games of the year. The cell shaded graphics were wonderful for the game, I know it sounds cliche but its true that it gave more of that 'comic book' feel, not to mention it made the whole world a lot less generic, with regular graphics it would ring far to much of Day Z in terms of aesthetics. Not to mention budget limitations would have caused the games budget to skyrocket, which would be fine if they had known how successful the game was going to be but they didn't have any clue, then add to the limitations of PS3, Xbox 360 and low-mid range PC rigs (aka 85% of sales) that would make the walkers look to uncanny for it to be scary in a horrific way but not uncanny enough to be scary in a creepy way and it just wouldn't have been as visually appealing. Of course, that's just my opinion and your more than entitled to your own.
