I was blown away when you guys announced Sam and Max, even more when you announced SBCG4AP. By the time you announced TOMI, I'm starting to think you guys are using illegal technology to read the minds of adventure game fans everywhere to see what we want.
And now, you guys are making Jurassic Park and Back To The Future...
No, that is part of an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that is having technical difficulties at the moment. They hope to get it working as soon as possible.
I don't understand why you'd want a game that follows the movie faithfully. You'd know the story, you'd know how to solve the puzzles, what would be the point of playing? It would be like re-making the movie, expect not as good.
I agree wholeheartedly, I'd like a new story. I'd prefer the games to be set at a different time or location so that they don't clash with the continuity established in the movies, but I wouldn't mind it too much if Telltale changed the plot and established their own continuity.
I've seen Douglas Adams comment on the very same issue--he's the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which exists in numerous forms of media. Every time he wrote a new version of the story he changed it, because he didn't feel like writing the same story again and again... as a result, the radio dramatizations, TV-series, novels, and video game all have differences in their plots. (They all start out the same, then diverge.) In fact I found the comic book version boring because it seemed like just a straight adaption of the novels (the comics weren't written by Adams, the author probably didn't dare to change anything)
The only problem with getting the actors even if its possible, while yeah we should get all those 3 people. But again thinking more and more about paycheck, i somehow dont think Telltale can afford to bring Michael J. Fox. Christoper L. and Thomas F. Willson aboard.
Somehow i just dont picture Telltale games making millions and millions of dollars :P but maybe they are cheap i dont know ^^ but it would be beyond amazing if those 3 people was doing voices.
This is actually amazing. The Back To The Future trilogy is easily the best trilogy ever made, tied with Star Wars of course! Pleaaaaaaaaase don't mess this up and I will love Telltale forever.
Would be awesome if the characters from the films did the voice acting. I'm sure they'd be up for it!
I don't actually mind if the game follows the storyline of the films, sure it's not original but that's why the BTTF films are so amazing, the storyline is AWESOME.
Christopher Lloyd is still acting. He's looking pretty good as well, it seems he's barely aged since BttF. Hopefully Telltale get the original cast back.
I thought he had died! He needs to come back more than Michael J Fox!
I think it would actually make a bit more sense to have a different main character to Marty, if they were doing a series of original adventures.
I wonder-- will they mainly use the characters from the movies, or will they feature characters from the cartoon? And as important as it would be to get the actors from the movie, I'd like to see Bob Gale, the co-writer of the movies, involved in some form.
Also can someone get me a quick recap like thing of this. I sadly have never seen the movies.
A crazy lovable scientist and a slightly Guybrushy kid travel backwards and forwards in time in a badass car while thwarting the evil schemes of a preppy jock butthead in his various incarnations and saving his parents romance and his own romance.

Doc has created a time machine that's powered with plutonium. He got the plutonium from terrorists. He shows the machine to Marty, a teenager who is friends with him.
The terrorists arrive, they're after Doc, Marty jumps into the time machine (which is a car) to escape them, but accidentally is teleported 30 years earlier. He ends up preventing his parents from meeting and need to fix that as well as find a way to power the machine to go back to his own time, since plutonium isn't very easy to get.
That's the first movie. Then stuff that happened in the first movie influenced the future, and there is more traveling, including to the future, to an alternate present and to the far past (think cowboys). It's a pretty nice trilogy, I'd recommend watching it.

So basicaly its a kid time traveling all over to help save his present or out future then? hmmm. sounds good.
(...) and need to fix that as well as find a way to power the machine to go back to his own time, since plutonium isn't very easy to get.
He then proceeds to look for plutonium by wandering around in San Fransisco, asking random people about where the "nuclear wessels" are. Oh wait, I think that might have been a different movie...
I love this trilogy! Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park and Back to the Future are THE movies from my youth (Well theres more, but those stick out). We already have ghostbusters and now there'll be Jurassic Park and back to the future! yay.
You better not mess this up Telltale! :mad:

I really hope they can use/afford the original actors.
That reminds me of Biff's Question Song... Tom Wilson is quite a funny dude.
gotta say i was floored when i came across them in the store .... remnants of my childhood and my 486dx266!!
Now, BTTF .... well that is a way of life these days!
www.timemachineforhire.com is my hobby
can't WAIT to see this game a reality! its FAR FAR FAR overdue!
I guess it's official now, yes?
pleeeeeeezzzzzzzz.....

It looks like they are on the way to making old school adventure games totally amazing and hopefully popular again

And of course, I’ll pre-order it.

I can't wait to see what kind of graphical style you give them.
