In June, it was announced that Telltale Games was developing a series of new episodic video games based off the Jurassic Park and Back to the Future movie franchises, in a deal with NBC Universal. We have a couple new updates, including our first look at concept art for the Back to the Future game.
I will be the first one to defend BTTF in everything it does, but I have no faith in this whatsoever. It’s coming out this winter and we have no screen shots or real news about it? Me thinks it’s going to be cheaply produced and just using voices and props from a film isn’t enough to satisfy any serious gamer or movie lover. I have a Wii and PS3 and I can’t imagine either systems showing me a well made Back to the Future game, and I hate myself for thinking it.
I can see however this being a small downloadable game, Telltale Games is kind of known for that (Monkey’s Island and Sam & Max games. They have produced games based on Wallace & Gromit, Homestar Runner and Tales of Monkey Island.)
What we know so far:
- The game will include characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown.
- Christopher Lloyd will also provide his voice for the games.
- Back to the Future series screenwriter Bob Gale is working with the game developers on the story
- They are planning five “episodes”.
- It will be set in the fictional California setting of Hill Valley, and will explore 1985 and additional time periods.
