    May I ask, and I'm really not trying to be mean here, what did you think Episodic Game meant?

    Well when I got Monkey Island it came with all 5 episodes so I thought the same when I purchased back to the future

    You got it when all 5 episodes where finished. At the start of Tales of Monkey Island we all waited for each ep in order like you are now.

    Telltale's good at getting each episode out each month, just like they promise. It's worth the wait...
  • edited March 2011
    Yeah Tales is done.
    Since maybe what the begining of 2010?
    REASERCH this people, this is only your own fault.
    Heck someone search the PS3 description of this game.
    Tell me if it says "monthly episodic" or something similar in the description.

    The PSN purchase blurb for the game:

    "Marty McFly & Doc Brown return in a brand new Back to the Future adventure!

    Six months after the events of the third film, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill Valley - driverless! Travel through time as you meet up with McFlys, Tannens and Browns through the ages to right wrongs, amend timelines, and prevent terrible terrible mistakes.

    * Featuring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd likenesses, with Christopher Lloyd returning to voice Doc.
    * Back to the Future's 'first families'. The McFlys, Browns, and of course, the Tannens - all play key roles.
    * Collaboration with Trilogy Co-Creator/Writer Bob Gale to help in shaping the storyline.
    * New Back to the Future story across 5 episodes released monthly "

    They're making you wait for a month per episode because the episodes aren't made yet.

    It's not like they're sitting on four more parts of the game in their offices, snickering at their staggered release schedule.

    I played Episode III. Pretty awesome - cool twist that Biff Tannen turns out to be Jennifer's real father.

    I know right? What is even wierder is that this means that Biff is the son of Officer Parker in episode 2 which really fucks up the timeline! :eek:

    I guess try again next Tuesday? PSN always puts stuff out on Tuesday. I actually use IGN to help pick what stuff I want to get. They have this nice weekly article that picks out the best of the releases that come out each week. Being a plus member helps as well. I pay 15 a month for it and end up with well over 50dollars worth of free suff/savings each months. Worth the investment if you play games as often as I do...

    Got off topic there. I'm waiting for it as well. I figured it would be out this month. I guess just check each tuesday to see if it's there. Shouldn't be long now.

    They usually come out on consoles after PC. I don't really follow ps3 news, have they actually said it is out on ps3? If so and it's not out it sounds like someone in marketing really dropped the ball.

    Well Telltale would have to release their games through psn, abiding by their rules and the like.

    Btw you can create a US PSN account to access the US PSN store. Just a thought.

    This might help:
    When we want to put a game on any of the major consoles, we have to send Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/etc a finished version of the game for approval. This approval process usually takes at least two weeks--sometimes longer, if the company finds problems or requests that changes be made. Every game that comes out for every console goes through this same process.

    On Sam & Max Season 3, the PS3 versions were developed first, and the PC/Mac versions were finished while the PS3 versions were in the approval process. So when each episode was approved and we knew when it would be up on the Playstation Network, we could release the PC/Mac versions at about the same time.

    With BttF, it was decided to develop the PC/Mac versions first, which is why they're coming out earlier--the PSN versions don't take that much longer to finish, but the approval process can take a while, and those versions can't come out until they're completely approved.

    Hope that clears things up a bit. ;)

    Its not telltale's fault the PSN network hasnt finalized the game yet.
    But you know, complaing about it is always the answer;)

    Hello - a loyal fan of ToMI here - bought BTTF mostly to send some more $ to TTG to encourage another season of MI :) But turns out the game is awesome :)

    I picked up the Steam version - assuming that the release dates are the same, any idea when Ep 3 is coming out? All I've seen is 'March 2011'

    Between March 5th and March 31st 2011

    BttF Ep.2 isn't out yet on PSN, but hopefully it will be in a few weeks. Sorry, I can't be more specific than that at the moment. :)
  • edited March 2011
    ive been waiting and it has b een a few weeks alredy and the website says its out now but it isnt why do they lie about that?
  • edited March 2011
    Episode 1 & 2 are out for pc and mac. But only episode 1 is available for PSN and Ipad at the minute. Episode 2 for PSN will most likely, "though nothing is confirmed" release at some point this month (March).

    Also none are available for the European PSN as of yet, but I hear it'll release in the next update. That's episode 1. :)

    It's out on PC, just not PSN.

    EDIT: I'm always beat to the punch!

    I'm pretty sure that the website is not saying that the PS3 version is out now (the PC and Mac versions have been out since February 17).
    Also, you asked the same question yesterday and got several replies including one that quoted this more detailed answer by Caleb:

    ^This. Plus, instead of making new threads, just keep your eye on the Release date discussions (merged threads) as all of the previous topics made about the subject have been consolidated, and that'll probably be one of the first (if not THE first) places where you'll find any updates about the release date. Plus, I'm sure this thread will be moved into that topic very shortly anyway...
  • edited March 2011
    sorry about the samepost my first one said it was moved and i couldnt find it so thats why i posted again.
  • edited March 2011
    It'll probably be out a few days before episode 3, and we'll start this whole song and dance over again.
  • edited March 2011
    Yeah it went on the psn a few days b4 the rlease of ep2 so most likely ep2 on psn will be out a few days b4 ep 3 is released on pc i imagine. either tues or fri cause thats psn next update dates
  • edited March 2011
    the trailers say that it's coming in February and at the end trailer it said that too, but i have no idea when i will get it D: or HOW i will acquire it.

    can anyone put my worries to rest with some answers?
  • edited March 2011
    it will pop up next to ep1 in main bttf psn menu, then do the same as you did when u dl the 1st ep. its really easy. the next ps3 updates are on tues the 8th and fri the 11th should be up by either dates. Thats what a lady said i talked to from ps3 today

    The trailers give the release date for the PC/Mac version. The PSN version wont be released until later this month. My guess--sometime around the 15th, since it will have been about a month since the last episode was released. Keep in mind, these are monthly episodes.
