Back to the Future game coming from Telltale Games

Not much is known about it yet, but a Back to the Future game is currently being developed by Telltale Games. The game story is being written by Bob Gale, screenplay writer for the three original movies. In addition to this, Christopher Lloyd is going to be lending his voice for his character in the game, Doctor Emmett Brown (no other voices confirmed yet). The game is currently confirmed as an episodic release, to be released in 5 separate episodes on the download services Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and even PC's. No word on other systems yet, or if there will be any. Telltale has developed the Sam and Max games recently, and they've been released on Wii, so that's a possibility. So all the details we know-

- includes the likenesses of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd
- Christopher Lloyd will provide his voice
- Bob Gale, screenplay writer for the 3 films, is working with Telltale
- 5 planned episodes
- DeLorean appearance confirmed
- Hill Valley location confirmed
- includes the 1985 time period
- additional characters from the movies will make appearances

Did they have no better idea than this ? ---- QUOTE - DeLorean appearance confirmed - Hill Valley location confirmed Do we really need confirmation on those things ? That is like doing a Terminator game and confirming "There will be robots from the future trying to kill you" Edited by pitman, 01 September 2010 - 07:51 PM.

Shut your dirty mouth! I hope MJF can do some voices, wont be the same without him. Telltale can do some great titles but I hope that if it hits the Wii that its the full retail packaged, size limits messed up Monkey Island for us.
