Does TT plan to incorporate Steam achievements in BTTF and future releases?
I use both Steam and my PS3 for gaming, but I have always felt more comfortable with playing TT titles on the PC. Also, considering there is no official release date set for the PS3, I'm getting antsy to go back in time.
I'm pretty sure they had to use Achievements as a way to unlock the new items in TF2.
This. For Poker Night, achievements were needed to notify TF2 that you did what was necessary for the items. (Similar to how the Alien Swam Parasite hat was connected to an achievement.) Since there are no items for BttF, programming in achievements would be a waste of time.
If you like that sort of thing, though, I'm sure the PS3 version will have trophies, seeing how The Devil's Playhouse/Tales of Monkey Island/SBCG4AP did.

I know it's pointless to ask when the first episode is coming to the PS3, since if you could give the answer to that you would've told us already. But is it possible you can let us know why it's being delayed, if you have any idea? I hope I'm not coming off as confrontational (I'm sure the delay is Sony's fault, not Telltale's), but it does seem strange BttF is taking so long when The Devil's Playhouse had no such problems on the PS3. It'd be nice to at least know why.
Also, should PS3 owners expect delays like this for every episode, or do you hope whatever's causing this problem will only concern Episode 1?

It's not delayed. We never announced a simultaneous release for the PS3 version of episode 1, just that it would be coming out shortly after.

Ah. I know they said the PS3/iPad versions of each episode would come out after the PC/Mac versions, but I assumed that meant they'd come out one or two days later.
Still seems a little strange, but it's good to know this is supposed to happen and you're not just getting screwed over by the console makers again. Thanks for clearing things up.

mine's doing something weird to when i loaded the second game i went to play it but nothing came up not even the first game it just shows a picture of Marty and blue blocks where the play it button and the name are suppose to be and that's it, but when i reloaded the first game ever thing was fine but when i closed the window and opened it again it told me to log in so i did and it only shows the first game is loaded so i reload the second game and it dose the same thing all over again
I just downloaded the free Episode 1 of BTTF, and I'm wondering if we can activate it on Steam? Not absolutely necessary, I know, but it would sure be nice. Thanks for taking the time to read my message!
i started Steam today and to my surprise Episode 3, which at first i couldn't install, was now completely gone... has this happened to anyone else?
anyway of fixing or is it because they are, at the moment, putting episode 3 on their download servers?
It usually takes a day for steam to update which games are available since, Alan and I have both answered this question..I feel as though it should be locked.
Anyone else buy the game on steam and is missing one of the "coming soon titles" since they are not out yet I can't tell if it's 4 or 5 that's missing.
See my screenshot to see what I mean
I bought the full game on steam. Loaded it up today to see one of the "coming soon" tiles for the game is missing.
And yes I'm aware the first one there says Episode 3 it's really episode one the artwork or something got messed up I guess, been like that ever since I purchased and downloaded it on steam.
for those who have trouble with the glass house on steam talk to the diver as soon as you go in to the expo then feel free to go round the glass house and emmetts display..
I downloaded my version from steam as well as when I went to play it there were graphical glitches on the title screen. The title, some of the options like "new game" "save game" "settings" and even the shadow under the car on the title screen was a red transparent box. I didn't try playing the game but had anyone else experience this problem with the steam version? I'm currently re-installing the game to see if that fixes it.

Nice one!
Cheers!

They're hard to implement apparently or something.
Since PS3 trophies aren't that must easier to implement, it seemed like a shoe-in to do the same with Steam.
Oh well, thanks for the heads-up.

Assuming it ever comes out, that is.
Haha it's coming out.
Hey Alan, I have a question, if you don't mind.

You know what they say happens when you assume.
I kid.

We can only manage Telltale Games accounts on our end!

My guess then if that's the case the release is imminent?
Sad too since I just watched the trailer for EP 5 and I am anxious to play it.
Looks good!
Here is hoping for a season 2.
darn it !
