Back to the future game trailer [Archive]

I would think there would be a game trailer or preview, since the game is suppose to be out this Winter 2010. If game released same time as blu ray trilogy on Oct 26 2010 "Exactly 25 yrs when Marty 1st time traveled" That would only give them a few months to work on the game, So I am thinking it wont have to much detail or graffics or may not be a very long game. I will still get the game, just hope it will be fun and have the delorean, hill valley and clock tower in the game! What do you guys think?

It will be an episodic series like Telltale's other games. The first episode is stated to come out this winter, and if it's like their other episodes, it will probably take around four to six hours to beat. The subsequent episodes will come out on a monthly basis. Telltale's series so far have ranged from four to six episodes. Telltale is known for their ability to produced high quality games in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Sorry if you already knew all that, but you seem like you're probably new here. Welcome to the forums. :)

It will not be out sooner than winter... according to this teaser trailer

Never in my 20-year history of gaming experience has the release announcement "this winter" meant anything different than "next year". October is three months away, and the TTG team obviously hasn't settled on a storyline yet.

2011 will be the date. January, hopefully. If they actually make it December, your drinks are on me. But only if they actually FINISH the game and have the subtitles spellchecked. I still don't get over the fact that they misspelled both Judi Dench AND Milla Jovovich in the same sentence in "Max' brain". :D

/edit: bttf1985cc: As people could believe you're actually ANNOUNCING a trailer with your thread title, could you maybe change it to "When will we have a first trailer?" or something?

I love the last line of the commercial for the first NES BttF game.

"Its ALMOST like being in the movie."

LOL

monkeymovies

07/11/2010, 12:26 pm

Well, let's think. I've heard both "Coming this Winter" and "Q4 2009", December is the month that falls into both of those categories so that's what I'm guessing.

The survey to Sam & Max season 3 was very similar to the BTTF one and was about 3ish months away from Episode 1's release right? So in 3ish months time it'll be October, meaning that MAYBE we'll get the pilot episode with the DVD's release, or around that time.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna be hanging out at this board a bit more now that Monkey 2 is out.

Vainamoinen

Where exactly did you read or hear of "Q4 2009"?

monkeymovies

07/11/2010, 12:46 pm

Dunno...some random news site...or I made it up. :o

In any case, I don't think it'll be any longer than 6 months away...

Spykes

07/11/2010, 12:46 pm

Ya, I think right around the time of the Blu-Ray release is when the game will be released. It's good cross-promotion for Universal. They'll probably put some sort of sticker or paper insert on or in the Blu-Ray edition of BttF advertising the game.

bttf1985cc

07/11/2010, 12:52 pm

Well if It will be an "episodic" series like Telltale's other games and the release of back to the future blue ray trilogy In October 2010, Then there could be hope for October and no later then December!

Same here. I am curious what style of graphics it will have. I think BTTF could easily work with stylized graphics, somewhere between like Sam and Max's latest episodes and real. The tone is light enough in the movies, and I think Telltale's character dept is good with caricatures. But we'll have to wait and see what direction they'll take, I guess.

*ETA- speaking of the new season of Sam and Max, I have to say they really gave me confidence that Telltale could handle the time aspect well ;)

The trailer needs to be a remake of the first movie's teaser: all the glistening lights, sounds, insides of the DeLorean without giving away any details - then a 3D Marty shows up

"How far are you going?"

"About 30 years."

I want the trailer to start off with the bad videogame pixel of Marty walking up to the screen, and then subtitles comes up saying:

"Doc! Are you telling me, we're going into 3D?!"

And then action music followed by the Time Train and epic lightning bolts. With a 3D Doc coming out of the past to bring on the new episodic game!

Omg with the time train? That'd be sooo awesome.

Really kewl, super kewl!

Hope a 3D Jules & Verne are in the time train standing behind them, waving & being kewwwwl like they were in the movie.

That'd be a real hoot!

since the game will be avialable in oct/nov, maybe they will have a demo for the game in october!!!

Spykes

09/04/2010, 09:45 pm

Yeah, I was hoping we'd get something like that. Or maybe a surprise announcement?
Day of the Tentacle for instance?...

Or am I being too ambitious? I mean, Telltale have already blown me away by announcing BTTF, one more announcement like that and I might just die of shock!

I'm right there with ya. It would be amazing to have Telltale bring back Day of the Tentacle.

As a matter of fact, one of the main reasons I originally signed up on these forums oh-so-long-ago was to ask them if they were going to bring back DotT. If I remember correctly, the answer I got was that the DotT brand was still owned by LucasArt and they weren't willing to sell the rights, or something to that effect. That was a couple of years ago now though and with both Sam and Max and Monkey Island both making the successful return to the present, Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle is the lone major missing LucasArts franchise not to return.

Strayth

09/05/2010, 05:16 am

I'm not sure.

Would be redundant I think, with BTTF to do a DOTT game.

Vainamoinen

Up to now, TTG's "demos" were always the full episode with most areas locked. So if there's a demo, it will be released with episode 1. ;)

I'm not sure.

Would be redundant I think, with BTTF to do a DOTT game.

This was something that crossed my mind. However, a DotT game doesn't necessarily have to deal with time-travel. DotT was actually a sequel to Maniac Mansion, a game that had nothing to do with time-travel.

That is of course true - yet fans seem to specifically want a DOTT sequel, not necessarily a MM one. It's the time travel aspect that made DOTT so brilliant, a second (or third) instalment shouldn't be without.

12/02/2010, 10:26 pm

Already I can see evidence that Telltale's ability to animate facial expressions continues to get better with every game. Which is very important, because one of the things I've noticed about the acting in the Back To The Future movies is how well the characters show emotions through their faces. I don't know why I notice it in the Back To The Future movies more than any other movies, but I do.

Random thoughts on the trailer and other segments of the show (censored for those who haven't seen it yet), in no particular order:

- The most shocking thing about the trailer (for me): GEORGE MCFLY KNOWS OF THE EXISTENCE OF DOC BROWN! HE WAS STANDING IN DOC'S LAB! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

- George, by the way, looks and sounds great. Much better than that ugly little picture we saw of him in the "Blitz Through Time" instructions.

- STILL no sighting of Biff. Curiouser and curiouser...

- No release date!

- I'm impressed by how fluid the movements of all of the characters, especially Marty, are.

- I'm guessing one of the puzzles will involve doing a science experiment for Young Doc to prove you know science.

- Christopher Lloyd mentioned something about "automated traffic" in his interview, so maybe the DeLorean isn't remote controlled when it arrives driverless?

- Everybody who talked about this game as a continuation of the series pretty much stopped just short of outright calling it BTTFIV. Cool. I like that a lot better than that "It's a sequel, but it's not a sequel" kind of stuff we were hearing around PAX.

- 1931 is confirmed.

- It was pretty much all but confirmed that we will NOT be going to the future in the game.

- May 14th, 1986.

- Doc in jail was not a surprise.

- Prediction for the structure of the first episode: Marty in 1986 -> goes back to 1931 -> gets Doc out of jail somehow, but in the process alters the time stream to create havoc in 1986 -> Marty and Doc have to go back to 1931 to fix the problem, which involves Young Doc.

Concerning markeres point about no Biff shown in the trailer, I have a couple thoughts....

For one, they didn't show THAT much in the trailer. That doesn't mean Biff isn't in the game. Secondly, one of the episodes is called "Get Tannen", so obviously a Tannen will be in the game at some point. I do wonder what his voice will sound like. It's looking less and less likely that Tom Wilson will voice the character.

As for Chri5's comment about the voice, it's still pretty dang close. Shoot, even Christopher Lloyd doesn't sound exactly like himself from the movies. All things considered, I think they've done a wonderful job with voice casting so far.

I also love Telltale's changing logo on the photograph. Very BttF-esque.

Sad to see that we won't get an episode in January. Still, I've waited long enough for a decent BTTF game to surface; another couple of weeks/months won't kill me.

January? First episode is coming out this month... Unless you're waiting for the PS3 version, but I hadn't heard any definitive date (or even month) for that.

BTW, on a personal note, as someone who's been following Telltale since the first Sam and Max game back in 06, I gotta say that I'm really impressed with how far they've come in the graphics department. Comparing the level of small details and facial expressions in the BttF game to the first Sam and Max game, it's like night and day.

Something else I just noticed about the trailer: There's no "Last Time Departed" on the time display in the DeLorean. So that may rule out Doc sending it for Marty. Which, of course, begs the question: Where When the hell did it come from?!? :eek:

LuigiHann

12/02/2010, 11:25 pm

That lip sync was terrible, please tell me that was a glitch of the video or a pre-release issue that won't be a problem in the final game.

I say this because everything else in the trailer looks great so the one thing wrong with it stands out. Characters and environments look great so far, and the brief story setup seems very promising.

I actually agree with you on the details. While the graphics are stylized, you could still see a fair amount of freckles on Marty's face, not to mention the metal texture of the DeLorean.

And the facial expressions/body movements also look top notch.

Even Marty's hair had nice animations to it.

Something else I just noticed about the trailer: There's no "Last Time Departed" on the time display in the DeLorean. So that may rule out Doc sending it for Marty. Which, of course, begs the question: Where When the hell did it come from?!? :eek:

This is my biggest question. I so hope this gets a decent explication.

Also thumbs up to the Huey Lewis track. You know, it'll be interesting to see if we get some authentic "licensed" music in the 1930s setting as well

Ya, I loved hearing the Huey Lewis BttF theme playing at the end of it. Just fits so perfectly.

As far as I'm aware you would have to have come back from the future to call this old. I thought this trailer only premiered last night.

Looks awesome anyway. I pre-ordered the game straight after watching the trailer. :)

You know, I keep forgetting that remote-control-Delorean is actually canonical. I always think of it as something that just happens in BTTF The Ride, but of course he does control the Delorean via remote in the first movie. So yeah I suppose that could easily be what he's done here.

It is interesting that this Delorean appears all iced up, as it did on the very first trip (that effect decreases with each trip throughout the series). So that suggests that this is a "fresh" time machine. Combined with the blank "last time departed" panel and the non-specific seemingly pre-recorded message from Doc, it makes me think that this is a "fail-safe" machine that he had set up somehow, rather than the machine that he had been traveling around in

I'm very excited for this.
But I have to admit, the faces look very stiff when they talk, and Doc's voice sounds a little flat or toned down compared to the movies to me.
Also I'm getting more worried we're going to see a lot more of James Arnold Taylor's Young Doc than Lloyds real Doc :(

Vainamoinen

12/03/2010, 01:50 am

Also I'm getting more worried we're going to see a lot more of James Arnold Taylor's Young Doc than Lloyds real Doc :(

That worry has been voiced more than once in these forums. I couldn't really relate to that. I seriously doubt that Young Doc will be present in ALL of the episodes, as he will be tied to one time period only (1931). I also doubt that we'll have even a single episode in which Lloyd's "old Doc" is NOT present. So while the Young Doc/Old Doc ratio might be in favour of his younger self in Episode 1, I presume we'll hear a lot more of Lloyd in the later episodes.

To be honest, I wasn't very much impressed with the trailer itself. S&M Season 3 debut trailer was much more awesome, IMO.

However, I was very interested in the gameplay footage and interviews from the GT TV show itself, and it was very cool. Liked seeing the same area in 1986 and 1931.

Origami

12/03/2010, 02:52 am

WOW!!!!! HHAHAHA! I smiled my way through the whole trailer!

Amazing! And George looks like George and sounds like him!(one thing people were worried about)

And Doc being caught. Great plot outline =)
Owh and in-game Christopher Lloyd sounds even more like himself. Same goes for Marty!

This trailer delivered alright! Albeit bit a short. Should be called a teaser. =P
But the gameplay footage makes up for it.

Owh man...I watched it five times now! And I am liking it more.

The animation of Marty in the car going up to 88 mph was just beautiful! All the details are there. And again the voice acting...owh man...

Nice touch btw in the beginning how TallTaleGames changes into TellTale.

Since he's confirmed to be in, can somebody tells us who's voicing George? I assume it's not Crispin Glover or Jeffrey Weissman, though maybe I'm wrong. Is he a Telltale regular?

Origami

12/03/2010, 03:51 am

There are two problems. One, the lip animations

I think the synchronization is off. Because when Marty says 'Doc, where are you?'
you can see the lips mouthing 'where are you' only a little later.

Another couple of things I have to say:
-Hill Valley looks mighty fine!!! Really want to explore it!
-Young Brown looks great!

But what I am still so happy about is Marty's character design. It just really clicks and works!
They made the design so 'endearing' looking. It conveys the trades of Marty really well.
I just want to comfort the fellow. =(

12/03/2010, 04:11 am

Saw the first trailer, and I'm very excited, but there's one problem with it that is also present in other Telltale games;

The lip-sync in human characters needs improvement.

But still, other than that, it's perfect.

And hell, I think AJ's Marty might actually get me to like or at least tolerate Marty for once (I... never really cared for him for one reason or another. Shameful, I know). His model looks so... woobie.

Of course the sync lip is off.

They had to create an audio just for the trailer. In no way that's what we'll have for the game.

Obvious.

Marty's walk cycle also looks a bit strange, hunched and flapping his arms, makes him look a lot less cool than in the movie. He also looks a lot younger to me.

Apart from the lip sync problem, the facial expressions could be stronger.

For the rest it all looks very promising, I'm looking forward to the story, with lots of time-travelling awesomeness.

So you're telling me that every video game trailer ever has had terrible lipsync? Hell, lipsyc seems fine in episode ads as far back as the first episode of Season 1 of Sam and Max (http://goo.gl/URpJj).

Laserschwert

12/03/2010, 07:02 am

The second episode is coming out in February, according to the end of the trailer. It's possible that it'll come out Tuesday, February 1st, so not too much of a difference from getting an episode in January.

I sincerely hope that's the case. Not to say I won't mind waiting until the middle of the month.
It would also seem reasonable to (somewhat) evenly spread the release dates out.

Well, a two month gap between the first two episodes isn't too uncommon for Telltale. They did it on the first S&M seasons, so it's not that surprising. Also keep in mind that there's they'll probably not working through Christmas, so for the second episode to not suffer from this, they'll just take more time. I think it's a good choice!

12/03/2010, 07:12 am

So you're telling me that every video game trailer ever has had terrible lipsync?

Where did I say that exactly ?

I'm telling you why it's off. The audio clips are put together, they're not "triggered" by the game.

The fact that the sync is better on other games trailers is easily explanable :

1) More time to work on the trailer

2) Non human faces to match

3) The audio clips chosen couldn't be displayed the way they actually are because of timing

Trust me, reason 1 is the most likely.

The sync lip in the footage clip was much better.

It is interesting that this Delorean appears all iced up, as it did on the very first trip (that effect decreases with each trip throughout the series). So that suggests that this is a "fresh" time machine. Combined with the blank "last time departed" panel and the non-specific seemingly pre-recorded message from Doc, it makes me think that this is a "fail-safe" machine that he had set up somehow, rather than the machine that he had been traveling around inI like this idea. I bet this is it. How exactly he would set this up though, I have no idea. Does he have some kind of "Life Alert"-like button he carries around with him to send a DeLorean to Marty in case he gets in trouble?

Oh, and this doesn't completely solve the "No 'Last Time Departed'" problem, either, because the DeLorean still has to come from somewhere (somewhen?), even if Doc is storing it. With no "Last Time Departed", that implies the DeLorean is just appearing out of thin air, and Marty's trip to 1931 is the first time trip that DeLorean is taking.

Silverwolfpet

Oookay, my thoughts on the trailer (arranged in the same style as Markeres' to prevent any spoilers):

- Marty's animations are brilliant. The facial expressions, the simple yet so perfect eye animations, the posture. You've outdone yourselves again, guys!

-The music, it's like Alan Silvestri playing just for us. Jared, brilliant work! I simply could not tell the difference.

- Lipsync, no problem here. When Tales of Monkey Island had it's first gameplay footage released, it had major lipsync issues. None of which were in the game.

- Not seeing a date on the time circuits... Telltase has hidden stuff before in their trailers. Again, in Tales of Monkey Island (SPOOOOOOOOOILER) you don't see Guybrush with a normal hand while hugging Elaine, even if in the game he has the hook. Clever stuff, to hide spoilers.

- Markeres made an interesting point: how does George know of Doc's existence? That will be an interesting thing to explore and, perhaps, it may prove useful in the next episodes. George helping Marty and Doc for a change? WOAH Mind blown!

- The DeLorean, no comment here, they couldn't have done it any better. Lights, sounds, moves, looks brilliant!

- Time period - well chosen! I sense some great emotional impacts here.

- Young Doc idea, weird at first when they announced it, awesome now as you see it in motion. Plenty of possibilities and it cannot get predictable!

- I don't know about you, but being able to control Marty and watch him on your PC screen... clearly this game will have a huge emotional impact on the fans.

- Looking at the screenshots that were released some time ago, compared to the story we heard of now, I think we'll see some cool flashbacks!

- I honestly say, if I got emotional over the trailer, I think this will be the second game that will have me in tears by the end of the season. The first one was Syberia II.

Clever stuff, to hide spoilers.Possibly, but if there is supposed to be a date, it's not likely to be too outlandish (like Guybrush's hook), probably sometime in '85 or '86 if it's a new "fail-safe" DeLorean, or '31 if Doc had sent it from then. They could have also just chosen an arbitrary date and put it in there. By having no "Last Time Departed" at all, that just fuels more speculation. So, I think the no "Last Time Departed" is indeed part of the game's story.

I always thought that human lip-syncing isn't Telltale's strongest suit. I mean, Sam, Max, and the Homestar Runner gang's lip-sync is pretty good, but Bosco, Sybil, Tycho, and some of the characters with humanoid faces are a little awkward. I understand this since about two-thirds of each of their games are cinematic scenes, which means that the awkward lip-syncing is more obvious, and they need to use automatic lip-syncing instead of manual lip-syncing because it saves time and money (they use automatic lip-syncing, right?). Though, recent games, like TOMI and Devil's Playhouse, while not perfect, has shown improvements.

Also, I haven't seen the video with gameplay in it. Links?

EDIT: Okay, someone already posted it before. Sorry.

Masta23

12/03/2010, 07:43 am

Also I did notice that the display for where the delorean had been was not set at all. So if the delorean hasn't come from another timezone, then it is very mysterious, as to where it HAS been.
Considering the climax of BTTF 3, this is very strange.

Tho there are a few minor issues thats not a big deal but like some others already mentioned the low fps / lipsync / some character movements.

And what i found is no character shadows on some scenes? some have them some don't? You can see it on the gametrailers TV thingie.

Just a little polishing up here and there would fix it :cool:

But without a doubt it will be good!

12/03/2010, 07:58 am

TellTale, could you just answer this : Are all of the footage we've seen pretty recent, or have you tweaked a few things since you put the trailer together ? (or at least since you picked the scenes for the trailer)

Everything seems perfect for me anyway.

Well, I think everyone knows who Doc Brown is. After all, he has been in the papers a few times. One for the Brown Mannor burning down at the start of part 1 & and in part II for getting some kind of award (as opposed to being commited to the looney bin). I mean, in part 1 before the time machine, even Mr. Strickland knew about Marty '...hanging out with that nutcase Emmit Brown.'

Something else I just noticed about the trailer: There's no "Last Time Departed" on the time display in the DeLorean. So that may rule out Doc sending it for Marty. Which, of course, begs the question: Where When the hell did it come from?!? :eek:

That is one of my biggest questions about the game so far; where did the new DeLorean come from? I mean, the last time was saw it (from the trillogy) it was destroyed by a train.

But I must say, I'm really excited about the new BTTF game now. TTG, you guys have really outdone yourselves. (Boy, I seem to be saying that with each progressive game that comes out.)

OK, to be more specific, George McFly knows of the existence of Doc Brown's friendship with Marty. That's still pretty major, and something that was never touched upon, at all, in the trilogy. Nobody in the McFly family seemed to know about it, in fact (Lorraine meeting "Uncle Doc" for two seconds doesn't count).

True, I supose if you are going to ask for a family member to be your lab partner or whatnot, you'll have to get the parent's permision first. So yeah, they would know about Marty & Doc. And besides, I'm guessing after 6 months of missing doc, I'm sure he would ask his dad for help and advice (thats what it sounds like in the trailer).

I'd actually find it interesting if TTG Sinaz' ideas about George and Lorraine "wisening up" (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=346551&postcount=42) found their way into the game - with Bob Gale's explicit consent.

I'm sure George and Lorraine knew that Marty and the Doc were close, even though it was not directly stated in the films. The whole town knows of Doc Brown, he's the local scientist. In 1955 the police officer seemingly knows him (when he ask Doc for a permit for the "specialized weather sensing equipment") and Mr. Strickland even knows that Marty and Doc hang around together. :)

I think I know where the DeLorean comes from.

Is it possible that Doc dug up the DeLorean from that abandoned mine, sent it after Marty and in the final episode they bury it in there again so Marty and Doc can dig it out in BTTF3? Can someone bring pros and cons to this? I'm not sure if it's an eligible theory...

Nice idea, the only downside is that there is no date for where the DeLorean came from, so in theory it seems unlikely it came from that time period. Need to watch it again wasn't paying attention to whether the DeLorean had the mixer on the back to get its 1.21gigawatts.

Why is everybody so surprised that George would know about Doc?Because it's never mentioned, at all, in the movies. Why is everyone inferring that Marty's parents do know about his friendship with Doc? Would any responsible parents allow their teenage son to leave the house after 1 AM to go hang out with a "crazy" scientist? Lorraine doesn't even want Marty to spend the night alone with Jennifer. I always figured Marty had to sneak out of the house to go to the mall at the beginning of the first movie. Now, whether the new versions of Marty's parents at the end of the movie know about the friendship is another matter, but we don't really spend enough screen time with them to know for sure.

I must say - the game looks like it is shaping up rather nicely. The story seems like a natural continuation from Part III, the voice acting is great, the characters and car are spot on, and it looks to be a great adventure!!

Darn you TellTale for not releasing this on the 360. Now with the trailer out, I want to pre-order the game even more, but the rational side of me is telling me to wait (since I've got the first episode for free) to see if it will run on my almost 10 year old computer.

Hey, lots of positive responses. Glad you guys are liking the trailer! As to a few concerns/points raised...

Lip sync in the trailer's not indicative of the final lip sync. As said elsewhere in the thread, that is (unfortunately!) often the case with our trailers. It'll be polished up by the time the game's in your hands.

And what i found is no character shadows on some scenes? some have them some don't? You can see it on the gametrailers TV thingie.

Just to make our lives hell, shadows broke in the engine during the week we were capturing final footage for the trailer. They came back online at the end so some important shots were cleaned up. Lighting/shadowing in that trailer is not final game lighting, but its getting there.

(will the telltale cursor be in the final game?),

It's a flux capacitor shape and it will likely be what ships, but not for certain!

IMPRESSIVE trailer & nice inside video (skateboard scene, amp scene, young Doc scene, etc).

Seriously ... where DOES the car come from .... Hmmmmm. :-)

(ps) and nobody spoke about this but what does Marty's dad do now? Work for a bank? He's no longer a author? Does he know Doc created a time traveling car?

The bank comment was probably just related to the Estate Sale that appears to be about to happen at the beginning of the game.

I'm glad George will finally get the importance he deserves.

Of course he never talked about Doc... WHEN would he ?

In part 1, obviously he doesn't know him as a teenager.

In part 2 and 3, the actor wasn't in those movies so he had almost no scene ...

Lip sync in the trailer's not indicative of the final lip sync. As said elsewhere in the thread, that is (unfortunately!) often the case with our trailers. It'll be polished up by the time the game's in your hands.

Thanks Jake, I was a bit worried about that. A tiny bit.

Do you not think that putting out a trailer with that sort of lip syncing is likely to put some people off? I'd have bought it regardless, but that's because I know what you guys are capable of, but a lot of people won't be aware of the quality of your other games.

Aside from the syncing, which we now know is going to be improved, I'm really impressed with the trailer. The story looks like it may well be wonderful, the soundtrack spot on and the voice acting - wow.

Beside of that i generally don't like the style, i'm surprised how bad the animations and mimic were. Seems like the characters were made of some wood and, dunno, Pinocchio looked more like a living creature to me. Washed out textures, disgusting colours, weird lightning, ... same old music, again, nah... worst thing i've seen from TTG so far (i didn' play CSI).

They had to get the video to GameTrailers in time for the show. Sucky but that's how it is! I think an updated version of the trailer with at least slightly better lip sync will appear online in the next day or so, at least so the one that is archived up for future generations will have less mushy mouths :)

In part 2 and 3, the actor wasn't in those movies so he had almost no scene ...Just the fact that Marty has to lie to his parents about spending time with Jennifer kind of implies that they wouldn't exactly approve of him spending time with Doc Brown, either. Of course, like I said, we don't really know much about their new personalities at the end of the movie. Though, they do like Jennifer now, so maybe they like Doc, too.

The thing about "George knowing about Doc" is that, in the movies, the McFly family side of the story and the Doc side of the story never intersected (again, the "Uncle Doc" scene excepted). In the game, apparently they will. That, in itself, is exciting.

Jared is one of the most talented people on the face of the earth. This is guarenteed to be the best sounding Telltale game yet with his soundtrack and the great voice talent (Christopher Lloyd, AJ Locascio, James Arnold Taylor, and any other surprises).

But the music lacks a bit of low frequencies (Unless that is trailer-related). Maybe a small EQ boost in the music at 80Hz ~ 120Hz should do the trick :D (i'm aiming for that cinematic bass feel)

I am a hardcore gamer and and a hardcore BttF fan. But I was BLOWN away by this trailer. The character designs are charming, the scenery accurate and is so true to the feel of BttF.

Owh...and I instantly heard that the first song playing was a new composition. =)
I have some of the OST on my MP3 >.>
But the game's ost is great.

Owh and about how George knows about Doc?

There are multiple easy explanations about this.
1) Like someone said, Marty's parents became cool and Marty told them along the new time-line.
2) Doc showed up to meet Marty. He knows that to make sure events follow as they should he needs to MEET Marty and befriend him. So he probably approached the family sometime.
3) They never met. But as Doc has been gone for half a year Marty must've told his parents in that time somehow, since he needed someone to talk about it and his parents saw that their was something wrong with their 16 year old son.
Marty probably sort of 'inherited' Doc's laboratory. Probably hanging out there a lot since Doc has been gone. Natural for the parents to eventually find out.

And I am off again!

Hi, primarily a console gamer who buys p. much every BioWare, Lionhead, Nintendo and Square-Enix (well, not so much SE anymore) title here. I enjoy a top notch production or two, but I also have a very broad taste in aesthetics (which I'm guessing is the major issue here).

Honestly, the game doesn't look bad. Especially for a licensed title. I think people are expecting hyper-realism (i.e. like the movies) or just expecting too much in general. They're not familiar with how Telltale does things -and admittedly, I'm having to get used to it too- so they just kinda do what most people do to things they don't understand: they hate.

Which is disappointing, imho. I wish they'd at least hold off until they, yanno, actually play the game.

Ah well.

Hey, Origami and Meta, I didn't say "all console gamers". I'm one too.

But trust me, on the forums I use to read, there are many negative answers.

That sucks.

As for "licensed title", I'm sorry but I don't agree. There are two kind of licensed games. Those made to come out at the same time as the movie = 98% of shitty games

And those made much later = around 60% of good games .

For exemple, the last Star Wars games looks a thousand of times more beautiful than BTTF, the game.

I like the graphics of BTTF the game.

Though I can understand why people find it ugly. For instance, when Marty stops walking and there's a close up of his face, at the begining, I have to admit that's pretty hideous. But I'm in love with the style anyway.

Trenchfoot

12/03/2010, 01:01 pm

Just a little dat for everyone: A lot of the music that plays on the trailer is reworked from the movies. For example, the opening piano notes appear in all the films if I'm not mistaken... And the militarish motif that plays while Marty is looking at the frozen Delorean driver-less also plays in the three movies, if I'm not mistaken.

However, I think it's great that Jared is keeping continuty with the rest of the series* and taking Silvestri's music so seriously. I hope he gets some feedback from him! :D

I've got a ps3 and I hate the graphics whores that only look at the visuals on some of the games on the ps3, 360 etc instead of the game itself and enjoyment you get out of it, I bought sam and max season 3 on a whim earlier this year because I heard about it before and never had a chance to play it till earlier this year then picked up tales of monkey island and it's subsequent games, I love adventure puzzle games and it's a shame that most of this generation ditched it for gears of war bang bang crap instead.

Sam and max reminded me of old resident evil in some respects where you had tough puzzles, old camera angles etc and some backtracking, obviously they're different genres but that game used to have similar elements and I got my fix with sam and max and monkey island and both series are funny as hell.

I've got a hell of a lot of respect for telltale games and these guys have blown Me away with their work, unlike big name companies like capcom (or crapcom now) and others that forget their roots and change everything and don't seem to care about their customers telltale do and it shows in their work.

If there was an award for best underrated developer I think you guys (telltale) should get it, thanks for keeping puzzle games alive and showing people out there that games still have variety if they look hard enough, that's why I used to enjoy gaming more a few years ago but almost lost interest till earlier this year with your games and some retro comebacks from other developers with 2d scrollers.

All I can say after watching (rewatching) that trailer is woah this is heavy :) and look forward to playing it when it's out.

@Meta
But I don't get why people have such trouble being grateful for what TellTale has done.
If it wasn't TellTale there wouldn't be any game. I don't see how other big profile companies would pick up this license and turn it into a realistic top-notch game. For a fact it would never be turned into an adventure game. It would become an action-game or something and it would suck!

Honestly, I once thought what it would have been like had my favorite boys up in Edmonton (BioWare) got to make a BttF game. I mean, they made one of the best Star Wars games to date (Knights of the Old Republic) but realistically speaking? They probably wouldn't have "gotten" the spirit of the BttF movies, both in story and in gameplay. Sure, endless dialogue trees, about 3 hub worlds, tons of sidequests, morality meters and romance subplots with various party members is nice, but is it BttF? No, not really.

As I'm slowly schooling myself in Telltale's history, I'm seriously convinced they're the right people for the job.

Trackah123

Realistic graphics vs Cartoony graphics. The gameplay/storyline stays the same anyway so it doesnt really matter imho.

I'm more glad with the fact that they actually made a good storyline.. and i prefer gameplay over graphics.

The problem nowadays with alot of game and movie companies that they focus SO much on graphics and visual effects that the whole aspect of a good storyline/gameplay seems to be totally forgotten about.

Mass Effect is another example of a great and epic storyline-based game. 1 of few i have experienced in the last few years.

tarasis

12/03/2010, 01:18 pm

@Stayth

I am talking about this license in particular. BttF has never been done properly and it's a difficult license to handle with the time travel plot and strict fan base.
Star Wars is much easier yet LA fails countless of times.

The only good licenced game I have seen in years is Batman Arkham Asylum.
Excluding TTG games.

Agreed. LA has failed too many times with SW games, often they have nice idea but the execution usually lets them down. I'm currently playing Force Unleashed and while I am enjoying it, its woefully short and I'm glad I only paid £10 for it.

Batman Arkham Asylum - couldn't agree more. Was the first licensed game (beyond what TTG have done) that I had wanted to play in a long while. They nailed it, though running around an empty Arkham Island after you've complete the main game but not all the Riddler quests is boring.

I would comment on Ghostbusters but it doesn't work on my computer (got it from Steam and they just told me to contact Atari).

Because people are *honk-honk*, little buddy. Most people are spoiled by high polygon counts and whatnot.

I got the game. There's slightly more aliasing "ingame", but it looks exactly like that, and it's all rendered by the PSP.

So I guess that, from a 2010 PC/PS3 game based on one of the most successful movie series, some people would expect something that tops PSP's most recent games. (Birth By Sleep and Ghost of Sparta) .

Of course the resolution is much better with Telltale's games, but you get the point...

I know the chara design is much softer with Disney and Final Fantasy, but the artwork for Marty and Doc look great so that's not really a design problem.

Dude, most of the screenshots you picked are pre-rendered cutscenes.
The character models used in these scenes are not the same as the ones you play with.
This BttF game definitely looks better than KH: Birth By Sleep

Also, the characters in BBS are detailed yes, but that doesn't go for the environments. There is a lot of repetition with the corridors. Look at the Gametrailers episode an look at some shots of Doc's lab. It's beautifully detailed.

I was talking about the models and the animation.

Obviously a Pc game will ALWAYS look neater and better... They can also use dynamic lightning and shadows.

Also, about the models, the "pre rendered" are generated with the game's engine, and the models ingame are the same, except that they don't have facial animation and have more angular hands. They look nearly as good. (I know, I extracted them from the UMD a few time ago ^^)

The fact is that, on PSP, it's needed, because of the action of the game (dozen of enemies, lights effects everywhere, speed, etc...).

As for the animation, it's incredible on BBS.

I was just saying that characters on PSP (which is WAY less powerful than a PC or PS3) can look pretty pretty good.

Obviously Telltales's BTTF characters are closer to Kindgom Hearts' ones, rather than Final Fantasy XIII's ones...

I'm not saying it's bad, I love the style. I'm just saying I understand why a lot of people think it looks ugly (even if it doesn't ...).

Yup, there definately is something wrong with the lightning.

It's less a realistic vs. cartoony graphics discussion. There are tons of games with a awesome cartoony style, also adventures. For me it's more about the rather ugly try in between and the almost complete lack of good animations/textures/colours in the video, i didn't even get to the point to care about the out of sync lip-sync.

The gameplay/storyline certainly is more important but a) we don't know if it will be convincing yet (it only has been written that they'll try to target a larger audience, which normally isn't a good sign for adventure gamers but maybe things will turn out just fine) and b) that if the gfx don't count this much (which for many people isn't true) then why not doing something more basic which works as well and where such bad animations are less obvious due to the higher degree of abstraction?!

Compared to Sam&Max S3 or Puzzle Agent this looks like quite some steps back. I don't really want to compare it with other good looking games, no matter if they are from the realistic or cartoony corner. This is one of the worst game videos i've seen since quite some time.

This is one of the worst game videos i've seen since quite some time.Please post some examples of games in a style like this (cartoony, or whatever you'd call it), that actually do look good to you. I'd really like to compare them.

Sorry, i right now have no motivation for digging out screens&videos but you should be able to find a lot of more convincing graphics on the usual gaming sites and online stores by yourself.

The traier looks awesome, I'm so glad I pre-ordered ahead of time! Just curious, will it include some Telltale made characters? (excluding young emmet brown)

I'm still confident that they will polish the final bits up in the game :)

The newest Ghostbuster game was pretty solid. One of the better licensed games of the past decade. It wasn't the kind of game that would win awards or that you would be playing for months on end after you beat it, but it was a solid game never-the-less.

Yes I loved Ghostbusters. It is definately one of the best movie licensed games.
It had a great script, the humour was spot on and it certainly felt like a ghostbusters film (especially by the way it ended).

Wish I could preorder, but I am almost positive that my laptop won't be able to handle this game, ut we'll see when the first episode is available. The trailer is fantastic, though I do have to say, wasn't aware that that was George McFly at first. lol As for all the "imperfections" with the DeLorean...I see it as slight polishing up of the original design since this is almost certainly a new DeLorean time machine since the original was completely trashed by a train. SOme components, such as the Mr. Fusion or the Flux Capacitor MIGHT have been salvageable, but I doubt it. Hopefully it'll be explained ingame.

Wait...I just noticed something...Where is Marty's watch!!!

What I am really looking forward to see it what has been pointed out to in the GT episode.
I want to hear young Brown converse with Marty with Marty being more knowledgeable about the subject. :D

Wait...I just noticed something...Where is Marty's watch!!!Maybe he used it in a puzzle prior to the events of the trailer.

Maybe it's in his inventory.

Maybe he wasn't wearing it that day.

Maybe he's so sad about Doc not being around that he doesn't even want to look at clocks because they'll just remind him of him, so he doesn't wear his watch anymore at all.

Or, maybe Telltale just plain forgot about it! :eek:

No I don't think they forgot about it.I think the omission was deliberate. The watch is pretty noticable in the movie.

I think the watch isn't there because they made the sleeves of the jacket reach up all the way to his hands. This done to attribute to a more cartoony style.
So Marty still has the watch. But it's probably beneath the sleeve. =P

EDIT: However Marty loses the watch from the end of BttF 1 and onwards. Probably because he took it off before sleeping that night.

I do hope that at some points Marty wears the walkman. It's very....'Marty-ish' lol
