Back to the future franchise dead?

[ryannumber1gamer]

E.A's back to the future game would be called

Call of the future future ops yeah they already turned harry potter into call of wizards modern wizards 2 with harry potter and deathy hollows 1 and 2 games

I think the franchise is far from dead. I went to a showing of the movie at a local theater last Thursday. In the audience, there WERE people who didn't exist at the time Back to the Future came out in 1985. I don't know how many of them were seeing it for the first time, but there were children in there, so I'm sure that at least one person was seeing Back to the Future for the first time. And while some jokes won't work as well anymore, such as Marty trying to order two now defunct sodas, the movie still holds up very well. I believe someone put it very eloquently once: It's somewhat ironic that a movie about time travel has become timeless.

There is no point in this because most of the people are fanboys who just want to defend telltale and they cant face the fact telltale suck at making bttf games.

Like i said they make good games otherwise but bttf wise... Big fat FAIL

and also people always say that rather dashing is always complaining well he has all the right to complain and his point is perfect.

Ok fair enought maybe ea would suck as well but still someone like telltale who dont make shitty baby graphics and terrible storylines which lietrally say: 'hey docs explanation about paradoxes were wrong dont worry lets just make a timeline where he doesnt even invent a time machiene'

NO SEASON 2 I BEG YOU.

You need to take a breather. We get it; you didn't like the game.

Inferring that everybody who does like the game are a group of delusional individuals doesn't help your credibility.

If Season Two does see the light of day, simply don't buy it.

Problem solved.

i agree with marty here u and rather dashing need to stop posting everywhere u hate the game we get it u and rather dont got a right to say wat other people need to think about the game

[Shadowknight1]

Well, Dashing doesn't do that, to a point.

In any case, Back to the Future the Game has been a financial success and a critical success for the most part, and will be reaching a wider audience soon with retail releases on PS3 and Wii. That doesn't sound like a dead franchise to me.

Since I seem to be coming up a lot, I'd like to make it clear that I'm with everyone when it comes to "generalcabdriver45" making poorly-reasoned posts that don't really do much in terms of constructive conversation. I'd hardly like to consider myself "in league" with the person myself, and any sort of imagined affiliation is at best a gross oversimplification of my expressed opinions.

Not in puzzle design and gameplay, thats for sure.

Bold. Seriously guys, Rather Dashing is allowed to say what he wants about the game, he did buy it after all, I think he deserves the right to critisize it. Just ignore him, and not post on why you dont like his posts, and PLEASE use propper grammar, the occasional spelling error is fine, but I can barely read some of your posts.

[Martin McFly]

I'm in no way attacking Rather Dashing. Personally, I enjoy reading his criticism.

Unlike generalcabdriver, he doesn't put down those who differ in opinion. Dashing is offering his honest opinion while generalcabdriver is attacking everybody opposed.

It's more of the fact that generalcabdriver offers little to no reasoning behind his/her posts.

Funny, All I see is terrible grammar and " rather dashing need to stop posting everywhere u hate the game we get it u and rather dont got a right to say wat other people need to think about the game
".(what? F on grammar) And I agree the story was good, but for a VIDEO GAME you dont want to focus on the story too much, or else you would be in the MOVIE buisness.

yeah but it would be a cool thing on the dvd if they let u watch the entire game like a movie

proof its not dead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26JfN...e9L_g&index=11

[corruptbiggins]

I think the fact that this game even exists as well as the release of the 25th Anniversary Blu-Rays & DVDs prove that the franchise is more 'alive' now than it has been for the past 15 years or so bar the occasional DVD single & package releases (which didn't even start until 2002 anyway). Not to mention the (admittedly limited) re-release at cinemas the first film had last year.

That wasnt the point. The point was that games are for gameplay, not storys. If this was meant to be a movie, then it should be a movie, not a game with little gameplay.

I can't believe people still dont know about the ignore feature yet. If you hate dashing that much, use it. I don't ignore him because while I disagree with his overall perspective, he is able to back up his posts.

The fact is that back to the future is still popping up quite a bit; the recent commercial, portal 2, family guy spoofs it a fair amount (i've heard rumblings of having a BTTF spoof like star wars), supernatural has made at least 2 references (main character gets sent back in time and claims he needs a delorean), it's still popular enough that in pop culture a flux capacitor can be referenced without needing to explain and the DeLorean seems almost syonymous with back to the future. Isn't Chrisopher Lloyd voicing a delorean in cars 2?

So 21 years since the last film it's still not dead in pop culture but as far as continuations go it probably is. We will never get a part IV with MJF's rapidly declining health and Christopher Lloyd far from a leading man. There may be a remake some day. Another video game is likely the only continuation we may see but given the popularity it's rather surprising we are only limited to 3 films, 2 seasons of a TV show, 1 defunct ride, and 1 modern video game... though i guess thats still more than the more popular godfather trilogy.

[yoman45135]

Well seeing as star wars has come up a few times and i think its the most overated thing ever im gonna say, did back to the future get a huge delorean hologram when the 25th anniversary was happening.... no but hey guess what star wars have had a huge light beam come out of the bt tower in london to look like a lightsaber... sorry just had to put that
also people should calm down about generalcabdriver he wasnt being racist or threatining people or anything else so i dont find it fair that he cant get his point across but yet people can say how much they love telltale...


that is all.........

8/10 OP. You could've used a little more subtlety, but you managed to get a lot of people. Hell, for a minute I was even planning to type out an actual rebuttal. Well done.

Oh, and for the record, everybody in this thread is either a troll or being trolled.
