Why is George McFly's photo different on the iPad version?

Hello wonderful people at Telltale,

I'm really curious as to why a different picture was used for George McFly in the iPad version of Back to the Future. I could understand if it was a texture/quality issue, but the photo in the iPad version is much better looking then the one on the Mac version. :)

Has anyone else noticed this? or any other big differences between versions?

    Oh, that's cool. Looks like the Mac/PC version (which came out first) just uses a quick render of the character model, but for the later iPad version they had time to create a hand-drawn "photo" that has a bit more personality to it.

    Yea, the Mac version does feel a bit formal for a photo that's carried around in Marty's pocket

    Yes, the new one looks much more suitable than the PC/Mac version's pic. Hopefully this is will come in an update or at least in the dvd version that comes later, right?

    I really hope Telltale does put some time to release small updates.

    Don't count on it, there's a load of people here who are still waiting on the Nutri-Specs from Sam & Max!

    They are an in-game item from the PS3 version of The Penal Zone (an episode of Sam & Max Season 3), that TellTale said they would try and include on the PC Version at a later date, which then fell back to the DVD version, to then just not being included at all and only obtainable on the PC version via a hack.

    Nice discovery! Thanks for sharing, I kinda asked myself ingame why Telltale choosed that ugly screencap for George, the iPad version is muuuch better. Hope they'll consider to change it for Mac/PC.

    The Mac/PC pic is creepy.

    Shame that the iPad version art was never used with the PC version...

    Even in Episode 5 we still got the 3d model pic instead of the nicely drawn art.

    That may be a blessing in disguise, although the George McFly artwork is different, a lot of the iPad textures have been hideously dropped in quality in an effort to help the game perform on the iPad. The quality of the images you see advertised in the appstore is not what you get in the game.

    Pointed out here at TouchGEN: http://www.touchgen.net/back-to-the-future-ep-3-hd-review

    Same with the Monkey Island series too. Shame really when we see other games on the iPad like Infinity Blade and others using very smart textures... Hopefully Telltale will adjust their game engine to be more compatible over time because the iPad is the perfect portal for adventure games.
