This is the best DAY IN MY LIFE!. Seriously. Almost almost fell down of my chair
This is just as amazing back when Telltales first announced Sam & max for the first time, or Monkey Island maybe even little more, Back to the future just holds a speciel place in my heart.
Also, as Day of the Tentacle proved a long time ago, time travel-based puzzels are always the best!
That is exctly the reason i really cant wait for this, Dott showed how it can be done. I cant wait for more time travel with more depth than those in Sam & max. Time Travel is just AWESOME.
Can any of you people believe Monkey Island or Sam and Max are being listed in the same breath, forum, website, company, etc. as A-listers like Jurassic Park or Back to the Future. THAT..is a real dream come true for me.
Christopher Lloyd, Tom Wilson, and Micheal J Fox have all done quite a bit of voice work, so none of them are totally outside of the range of possibilities, especially if NBC/Universal is funding these projects.
I hope there's some freedom of exploration in this game, it would be great to be able to really explore Hill Valley in different eras.
Biff. Tom Wilson has worked on games before, and he's already established as a voice artist on top of being an actor. I wonder if there's any chance of getting him involved too.
I really think Thomas F. Wilson would be the first to hop aboard. He KNOWS he can't escape his past. Just listen to him singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y
I have a lot to add, but right now, I'm just going to sit back and take a deep breath. It's necessary.
OMFG!!!!!!!! If there is any type of game you can adapt Movies to it's Adventure games! and now one of my FAVORITE trilogy's of all time!!! TELLTALE I LOVE YOU!
OMG,i was saying the other day to people on the unofficial telltale chatroom that i wish that they made a Back to the Future Adventure game, and to my sudden suprise its actually happening, im soooo over the moon hearing this, i was jumping for joy and screaming like a little school girl, i Hope Michael J Fox does the voice for Marty, he's one of my favourite actors,and watching his movies as a kid made me want to be an Actor
and now the forums are gonna be crowded,
sorry had to get that off my chest and now the oter thing,
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It could be cool to just be Marty but I think it's also possible that the main character is a new original character and then gets to interact with the likes of Marty, Doc Brown & Biff.
This news are made of what dreams are made of.
And it's...interesting the fact that the BTTF section has already 6 threads while the JP one only has 2.;)

I've just sort of referenced that in my last post in the JP forum section. My guess is that most people on this site are more interested in BttF than JP which I think stems from the basic general, well I guess stereotype is sort of the word I'm looking for here, image of your typical adventure game player in that time travel is better than dinosaurs (though the two can combine nicely).
I'm not sure I've explained myself well, but that's the best I can do!
I think I got it and I'd say you're partially right, but my sentence was more about how people reacted so differently to these announcements than why they did so.
But I thought about the "why" too, and the first thing that came in my mind was about how the quality of the two trilogies were perceived by people in general, though there's of course a lot more than this behind it.

Whenever I see "JP" in a post, for a moment I think people are talking about me.
while we are talking about "future" and "Telltale is awesome" and "fangasm". Telltale, bring us a Futurama adventure! that one old game doesn't cut it! Also take over the Doctor Who games while you are at it!
If the real Marty isn't available, Dom would be great. He wouldn't be exactly like the films which would help distance them from the kinds of people who would complain about not being true to the franchise. Also, Dom's got a very boyish voice that I think helps make Guybrush likeable.
Can't wait for the first teaser screenshots to be released.
The '70s is sort of an interesting decade to go with, because it's within Marty's lifetime. Is he going to have to avoid running into himself as a little kid?

a la Life on Mars? (the English version, of course)
Can we have Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes next? :P
Can't wait for BttF! This could really bring the money in for TTG to do whatever they want in future projects.
I don't want an "action adventure". I have bought all Telltale games but I'll only buy this if it is a graphic adventure. And the same for that shocking Jurassic Park game...
The world is full of "Hollywood-licensed action adventure games"... We don't need two more, thanks...

Calm down. We haven't heard anything about the genre or gameplay yet. There's no reason to assume it'll be anything other than a traditional Telltale-style adventure game.
It's not like they're going to make a JP FPS. They'll be adding more features to their tool to expand the cinematic experience. If that means occasionally shooting a tranquilizer dart or net at a dinosaur to move along the story and heighten tension, so be it.
I read that 'genre' bit as new genres of franchise, not new genres of game.
Please, read the press release: "The agreement broadens Telltale's product offerings into new genres and new styles of gameplay"
For me, this means an action or an action adventure game. And I don't need it, thanks, the stores are full of them...
Well, there's also this quote from an NBC Universal representative that's been floating around:
In the official announcement materials, Bill Kispert, interactive vice president at Universal Studios, seems to suggest that these games won't be shoot-'em-ups. Whew. "Jurassic Park and Back to the Future are two of our broadest and most beloved properties," Kispert said in a statement. "We were very interested in bringing them into the interactive space, but they're not exactly the kind of properties that lend themselves to the stereotypical shoot-'em-up style of gameplay."
Besides, it was the genre's refusal to adapt that nearly killed it off in the first place in my opinion. Telltale are doing great things to keep it fresh... particularly for example with Sam and Max S3's approach to puzzles, so far, moving right away from the normal sort of use x with y inventory puzzles which have dominated the genre.
I'm sure this will continue that trend and if that means that occasionally I do something a little more action-y in the game because it best serves the story then I'm all for it. But as someone else pointed out, we know hardly -anything- yet, so let's not jump to conclusions, shall we?
The Penumbra games by Frictional are some of the best adventure games, and the scariest horror games, I've ever played in my life, and they involve (fairly) unkillable monsters chasing you and death. Mixing genres isn't a bad thing.
Oh come on, guys. Don't avoid a good thing just because it's not a pure adventure. I don't think TTG are going to abandon adventures any time soon. As made clear in the latest teaser, TTG's main focus seems to be on storytelling, which is the heart of the old LucasArts adventures. It will be good. Personally, I can't see BTTF as anything other than an action adventure (or adventure action, respectively, to be more precise). One thing I and probably everyone wants to do is drive the DeLorean and actually go Back To The Future.
I'm not sure what I expect for Jurassic Park, though.

It is. The soundtrack really makes it though.

I LOVE YOU, TELLTALE!!!
I was never that much of a fanboy, as I love to voice criticism loud and clear, but here I won't. You'll do fine, TTG!
This is like a dream come true. I really needed a new one after Ubisoft killed another one of mine.
I really think Thomas F. Wilson would be the first to hop aboard. He KNOWS he can't escape his past. Just listen to him singing:

I'd better get used to it, I guess.

You rock.
I always think they mean "Japan" or "Japanese".
I think JP trophy because i'm a Leeds United fan in football (soccer, for the heathens).

I got the same thing with MI for Monkey Island, since a lot of people call me MI on other forums.
come to think of it, these properties would be great, too!
