Hopefully it'll avoid The Problem with Licensed Games.

It's Telltale.
They've managed to essentially resurrect Monkey Island. I have faith in them.

Telltale also did Strong Bad and Wallace And Gromit, not to mention CSI.

I was FROZEN today!
Anyway, it's Telltale. Their treatment of other franchises have been far from The Problem with Licensed Games, Bob Gale is working with them on the plot and the initial survey was promising.
I hope they use the awesome Devil's Playhouse - if you don't have it already, get it, it's currently on sale on Steam - approach instead of SBCGFAP with all its Soup Can puzzles.
Definitely looks promising. Man, those movies are pure Nostalgia Filter.

...Lloyd but no Fox? Awww... I hope this means they just haven't signed Fox on yet.
Definitely, but if it came down to either Lloyd or Fox, i would want them to go with Lloyd
What kind of game will it be, though? The "episodes" thing makes me think it's going to be a old-style click adventure like Monkey Island, but I'm hoping it's sort of an action-adventure-puzzle game.

Lloyd but no Fox?—R.J.
^^ Considering that this is by Telltale, I'm guessing it's an adventure game.
Semi-related tidbit: Michael J. Fox will guest-star on the season premiere of The Good Wife (September 28th), playing a cynical Amoral Attorney who uses his Parkinson's to get sympathy for a giant pharmaceutical company.
Folks curious whether he'd be able to do voice work for Marty for the BTTF game might want to check it out.

Based on the three films? Not bad, but I'd rather see a continuation of them...
The art is great, though!

^ It was already stated that this will be set after the first three movies

The Back To The Future movies are pretty slow-paced, so a point-and-click adventure seems like the best genre for a game adaptation.
Accidental mistakes are forgivable, intentional ones are not.

I love adventure games, and I love Back to the Future. A match made in heaven.
Also made by Telltale games, so going by the quality of their previous work, this should turn out pretty good.

Prepare for a really stupid question: what console is it on?
I read the article, but they didn't seem to mention it.

If Telltale's previous games are any indication, then PC and Wii. And maybe one or the other of the PS 360, it seems to be random.

Ahh, good then. Wii is all I got (that I actually want to buy games for).

It's PC, 360, PS 3, Wii.

Has Wallace & Gromit been released on Wii?
