The Power Of Love
It won't be Back to the Future without it. SO if Telltale doesn't find SOME WAY to include it... *shakes fist*... even Harmonix got it for Rock Band 3!

And Huey Lewis' acting in the first movie was really bad also.
If Telltale could include Songs like that (in a way that fits the game and the Story) i think it would be a good Idea. On the other hand, licensing such songs could be quite expensive and therefore not feasible.
Second.
I don't think they'll need to use this specific song (although it would be great if they did), but I definitely hope they license some different pop music to serve as background music to represent each era that is visited. That's something that Telltale hasn't really done before, but I think it is a semi-important element of the series, and hopefully it's something that Universal is also paying for.
Also, as a side-note, The Power Of Love is going to be in Rock Band 3, which will be coming out next Winter also.
I would be giddy if a snippet of Power of Love or Back In Time popped up during the game.
But yes, pretty low on the 'must-have' list.
It's not strictly true that the sequels were without "Power of Love." Jennifer catches middle aged Marty glumly playing a few notes from the song on his guitar in BTTF2, and the song is blaring out of Needles' radio when he challenges Marty to the drag race at the end of BTTF3.
But, erm, yes. Huey Lewis is hardly the priority #1 ingredient of a successful BTTF game.
Agree to that.... I didn't know what 2015-Marty was playing.
But if they go back to the '70s in the game, I demand ZZ Top's "La Grange".
Do any of you fans realize you have no idea WHY Power Of Love is important?
For a start, it's significant for the Marty and Jennifer romance.
Secondly: IT WAS WRITTEN FOR THE MOVIE!
No matter your own personal feelings about the song, it's as much part of the movie as Silvestri's score and the DeLorean.
Licencing OTHER pop songs that have zero or limited bearing on BTTF? GTFO.
You are right, the Song has importance to the movie, but it should not be in the game only to be in the game. If it fits in without feeling forced then I see no reason to leave it out of the Game. But as I said before Music in general is important to the story.
And I really would miss the BTTF-Theme if it would not be included. But I can't imagine that it is not in the game.
About licensed music: Of course it should not be ANY pop song and the soundtrack should not only consist of licensed music. If something like that will be done, it should be done to set the mood for a visited time-period and not all the time. A good example from the movies for this is, when marty gets to the town sqare in 1955 for the first time and a version of "Mister Sandman" plays in the background.
Yep!
But Michael Jackson for instance, I can imagine that it would be pretty expensive indeed.
And "Back in Time" seems to be a special case, since it was written for the movie. The deal might just cover the rights for that one. That's my wild guess, of course.
