"Get Tannen" Predictions (Spoiler warning)

All going in the supposed direction, but my question is "Who is Trixie Trotter?"

[sladerlmc77]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this possibility -

Is it possible that somebody could discover that Judge Brown had kegs of booze that came from Tannens Speakeasy?

If so, wouldn't most people construe that to mean they had some kind of "business relationship", which would probably get the judge disbarred?

The whole case could be thrown out - and it's possible that Docs dad is arrested or disgraced, which could also alter Docs path.

It may not be that Artie has to die...all he has to do is take a fall for Tannen, somehow.

[ragdoll556]

Do you think we'll be entering the area underneath the soup kitchen in the second episode? and what does it mean to "get" someone. It could mean pretty much anything.

Unfortunately, the BTTF game starts out even worse. One of the fundamental rules of storytelling is that you have to show your audience "what's at stake". In "Get Tannen", Jennifer Parker's life will be at stake... and we have never seen her before in the game. Ouch, shouldn't have happened!

Edna, never. That would completely contradict her character. Marty's grandmother, maybe! A third possibility is that she's actually Jennifer's mother and married a handsome policeman in the original timeline, although a certain gang boss was interested in her.

Still, three people to be killed or vanish, Trixie, Artie & Officer Parker, isn't that a bit of an overkill?

I don't think we'll get to SEE Judge Brown. There's no in-game model for him as well, I fear. Artie's life is threatened by Kid's gang and that's that.

Nonetheless, here's a short list of possible things to happen, just to show you how "predictions" work old-school:

• Young Doc and Edna will get a lot closer to each other. Bad news.
• The episode will not have many scenes with Young Emmet and focus on other, new characters instead.
• Artie will find his courage just like George did, making him a better father. Good news!
• The 1931 town square will be expanded upon, with more places to visit.
• Doc will tell Marty what to do to save his life, but not help him, because he's occupied with... say... repairing the time machine yet again. The scene shown in the earliest IGN screenshots will occur right at the beginning of the episode, although it won't look exactly the same.
• We will find out who burned down the speakeasy. Paradox or no, it could actually be Marty.
• Trixie might be performing in the speakeasy; it's unlikely that we don't see this place at all. As the only alternative, we'll have a stage setup very much like Jessica Rabbit's first appearance in "Roger Rabbit".
• Come to think of it, the interior of the speakeasy could bear an actual resemblance to one "inventory".
• Trixie WILL sing (LONG CUTSCENE!) and people will justly praise Jared Emerson-Johnson for this like a God.
• While we're there and with all the music going on, Marty could get his hands on a guitar. Maybe Trix needs some support??
• Kid Tannen won't get even the slightest jota more believeable and continue to be a mere Biff copy.
• At the end of the episode, Marty will think that he has done everything right and will head right back into his ol' present. But he's WRONG WRONG WRONG!

I don't think Trixie actually vanishes like the newspaper says. I just think Sylvia (assuming it is Sylvia) gave up the persona without telling anyone, to marry Artie.

I don't get why people are jumping on Telltale for this. What are Griff and Buford, if not cariactured "mere Biff copies"?

[Vainamoinen]

Griff is - Buford isn't. Also, two copies are enough.

[Marty McFly]

I won't get the game until febuarary i mean the first episode. I believe it's a showdown between Marty McFly Age: 17 Related Relitive: Arthur McFly
And Kid Tannen Age 29....? Relitive: Biff Tannen and the beginning of The RISE OF CITIZEN BROWN!!!!!!!!
Ep 3: Citizen Brown March 2011
I saw a mistake when I saw the ending It said
To Be Continued......................
Ep 2: Get Tannen Febuarary 2010!? 2010 it's 2011 not 2010 Telltale.

[CartoonistWill]

I predict we'll all be bored anticipating the next episode until it gets here and when it does we'll like it. 0____0 Seriously, I don't feel like making any serious predictions. The next one comes out in February, right?

IT'S TIME PARADOX, MARTY! TellTaleGames is a year ahead of schedule! lawls

Surprised nobody has thought of this scenario:

Biff has not been born yet in 1931. If Kid Tannen is arrested and thrown in jail for several years, this could prevent marty's birth since biff plays a part in george and lorraine ending up together.

Yeah, um, that was addressed IN GAME. If you talk to Doc about Kid Tannen, he says that Kid is SUPPOSED to go to jail, he escaped for three hours once and in those three hours Biff was conceived. Kid spends the rest of his life in jail.

[Michael J Fox is Canadian]

must have missed this part, that does make sense to have biff grow up without a father leading to him being a bully.

[Indrid Cold]

I doubt that father being there would have made much of a difference.

[Shadowknight1]

It does explain why Biff lives with his grandma though.

For story purposes and Doc said that he must not go back further in time to prevent his capture because it will prevent Marty from knowing he needs to save Doc.


1 thing no-one rememberd is right in the beginning, Edna's shoe was in the De Loreaon, as well as einstien.
I am pretty certain that at some point we have to find out how this is possible. On top of that, edna was not the least bit amazed that her shoe looked brand new.

i figured einstein put it there. It's possible that she could have been IN the delorean.

[spielerman]

Hey! I just received a "Get Tannen!" e-mail from Telltale that linked directly to this thread and asked for predictions, etc. I browse these forums in my free time and haven't found a good place to post this concern of mine, so I will here, and even in the form of a prediction:

I *predict* that the specific release date for Episode 2: "Get Tannen!" is actually further into February than I would *hope* to wait due to excitement (these episodes, come on, they just say "February." "March". What was the first episode, "December" and wasn't it two days before Christmas that it came out?) and that Telltale will not get better about sharing a solid release date for any of these episodes, which will frustrate me to no end.

Why can't they do that? Don't they know? Surely they must know. It's a professional company. Guh. That really bothers me! But that is my prediction. I guess it's because I had preordered the game in October-ish and didn't ever get an email when it was available to download and had to keep checking back here the whole month of December looking for a release date. For a while I thought it wasn't real, wasn't the official game, had possibly been a false website etc. Now I know (after playing Episode 1, of course and loving it) of its genius and simply want to know when (specifically!) I can expect more and make TIME for more of this game in my busy schedule.

Cheers, all!

You could be right. Either way, we still need to see her shoe get into the deLorean.

It doesn't make sense though because the Delorean has to have been in 1931 before Marty for her shoe to be there.

In other news...
In one scene in the sneak peak of ep 2, it shows the cop walking away from the DeLorean. Maby he found it.

[Spectral Knight]

It's in the dialogue that Einstein stole her shoe, and Einstein was in the deLorean. It seems pretty obvious that he had it with him when the auto-retrieval system kicked in.
