    WOW! That's pretty awesome! Can't wait for release!
    This blu-ray set WILL be released in the UK, right? If so, I guess the code applies there too.

    Here's the link to the offer page listed in the leaflet, but it's not available from Telltale yet (Oh Crumbs page):

    It blows my mind to see relatively unknown "Telltale Games" listed in the leaflet of a major film franchise re-release. Seriously, this is amazing.

    Nice!

    I really want it for 360 or PS3 so I can play it on my TV tho.

    There is one problem that I can see. With no pre-order info before, it seems like it will have an early release for Trilogy owners only.

    Alan said there was big news scheduled for October. I wonder if this was going to be that news...

    YES!!!! :D

    What does it say on the box? I can only read "Telltale Games, the leader on episodic gaming...".

    Hrmph. That's not the way it should have gone. The release of the first episode only 11 days away? How could that ever be? This all seems so incredibly rushed.

    I'll wait for more information first.

    This free episode of Back to the Future offer is completely separate from the availability of the game itself. The free episode offer will go into effect only once the game is available.

    In response to RingmasterJ5, this does not signify an early release for trilogy owners at all. The offer is also not indicative of when the game's release date is at all.

    Ah, that clears it up.

    Well, this does point to a 2010 release though. Having a code and still having to wait for MONTHS... that sounds a little odd.

    Thanks for clearing this up, Alan. I was juuuust about to panic. :D

    That's really cool!

    Too bad I don't have a Blu-Ray player/PS3. :(

    EDIT: One more thing. Does this mean "Back to the Future: The Video Game" is the final title for the game?
  • VainamoinenVainamoinen Moderator
    edited October 2010
    I was worrying about that too. "Back to the Future - the Videogame" is, pardon my french, a very stupid title. :(

    But who knows? This was a quickly established offer for the release of the blu-rays - much can still happen, including a proper subtitle and chapter titles. ;)

    I think that its going to be called "Back to the Future: The Adventure Series." Anyone want to correct me? Anyone?

    The game's title is Back to the Future: The Game. The insert was done a very long time ago!

    We'll have a lot more information soon. I mean, this is the 25th Anniversary month after all!

    Fine by me, as long as it's on Wii (sorry for the rhyme).

    No it's not. Just kidding.

    I was hoping it would be "The Velociraptor And Friends Fun-Time Comedy Hour".

    Not until the game comes out and the shitstorms start.

    Guys who are worried about the boring-ish title, don't forget that each episode will probably have its own subtitle.

    Maybe episode 3 will be Back to the Future: Showdown in Dinosaur Town
  • Secret FawfulSecret Fawful

    Unless each subtitle is "Part I" "Part II" "Part III" "Part IV" and "Part V".

    Those are already taken, I think, by the movies.

    Yes, Back to the Future Part I, Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III are.

    However, Back to the Future: The Game Part I, Back to the Future: The Game Part II and Back to the Future: The Game Part III aren't. ;)

    What about PArt 4 though?

    Oddly enough, Back to the Future: The Game Part IV is taken, so they'll have to call that episode something else. Part V is free though.

    So it'll be:

    Back to the Future: The Game Part I
    Back to the Future: The Game Part II
    Back to the Future: The Game Part III
    Back to the Future: The Game: Showdown in Dinosaur Town
    Back to the Future: The Game Part V

    I don't think they'd give a shit that it's taken. Seriously look at how many Street Fighter II games there are.

    Sheesh! And I thought Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective was bad.

    Oh, you just wait until "Back to the Future: The Game Episode IV (but in no way Back to the Future IV) - The Trial, Whacking and Execution of Eugene McTannen". ;)

    How about Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and it's sequel. Both of which are mouthfuls to say.
    Though SB's is longer, I find it much easier to say.
