Telltale's Back to the Future

Episode 3 is now live and ready for download.

Finished the episode. That was... depressing.

Awesomely, they got Claudia Wells, Jennifer's first actor to come back for this series.

I think I liked the episode the most out of the three currently released.

Beat it tonight. Interesting turn of events. It's amazing how much of this series is "Marty fucked up again".

I personally hope at the end of the series We learn who really burned down the speakeasy.

It was probably Doc Brown, which would be ironic for all his "I didn't burn it down!" protestations.

This episode does beg the question of why Doc turned into "Citizen Brown" but Marty was shielded from the altered timeline. I kept waiting for a nice Timey-Wimey Ball to explain it, but they just ran with it without explaining anything. Odd considering that they DID account for the presence of the De Lorean.

^ If you mean why Doc disappeared this was explained on the game's forum. It's like how Future Biff faded out in a Part II deleted scene. He prevented his own existence by preventing time travel: the Doc in the game has been time traveling for decades, and is nearly 100, but he only lived to this point because of all the rejuvenating procedures he had in 2015 before Part II, which if he never traveled to 2015, he now never had, so he would have died before the age he is currently at. If that complication hadn't happened, he would still exist along with Marty.

I think everything was turned Up To Eleven for this one, the writing and acting especially with Christopher Lloyd and George's VA being the best, and one scene in particular for the writing ( the scene in the former speakeasy once Doc comes in, with Doc's Heroic BSOD, Marty comforting him, and the reveal that the Hill Valley logo is the Flux Capacitor).

Ep 4 next week.

Ep 4 now up!

... I hate this. Episode 4's last segment is one huge Player Punch.

Michael J Fox will be in Episode 5, but won't play Marty McFly.

Episode 5 is up!

Craaaap, still need to finish Episode 4 too. Got distracted.

Beware: Game-Breaking Bug. Do the Glass House before you do the Plant. You'll know what I mean when you get to it.

Love the ending.

'Don't say anything. Let's just walk quietly into the lab and hope there are no more surprises...'

That was a glorious ending. For all its flaws (nonexistant difficulty, sub-par animation and graphics), it was an excellent game and I don't regret my pre-order or a single second of the time I invested in it. The story and voice acting completely make up for it, and as an uber Back to the Future fan, this was a delightful experience and it felt like a fourth movie.

4 Stars.

My review is up. Read it here.

The ending. SPOILER WARNING (of course).

Stayed up WAY too late on a work night to finish this, but it was well worth it. Really hoping that they aren't just pulling our leg about a Season 2.

Fantastic experience. Though I will say, where was Clara and the kids? They didn't even pop in for the ending credits :P.

Episode 6?

The news is actually a few weeks old, and they were last contacted about it before the actual final episode was released. So no idea if they were just trying to be coy and not give away the Sequel Hook in the ending or not.

Just completed it. I thought LoCascio was a bit rusty for the first few minutes, but he got square in the groove pretty quickly. He did his job so well I had no idea the real MJF voiced the non-PC Martys and Willie until the credits rolled.

It lagged like hell on my Wii, but I know my laptop would have been even worse.

My biggest thing I want to talk about is, am I the only one who saw Artie/Trixie from their first interaction, and almost immediately deduced her real name was Silvia? I spent three episodes waiting for that to pay off.
