I actually felt that the cartoony style was perfect for bttf and the graphics was not next-gen by any means but I still liked it.

After seeing some footage of JP I think that's what the next BTTF game should look like with a little more polish.

On a side note JP looks like crap.

Branching character arcs a la Mass Effect would really be the only thing I want from any Telltale game. I'm hoping to see some of this in the upcoming Walking Dead games (I read somewhere that this was a whole thing.)

BTTF is the perfect place for this kind of mess, with the perfect way to wrap it all up being that he fixes the initial problem that caused any deaths/changes at the end of the arc, magically fixing most of the damage he'd done but storing the data on certain choices so that future dialogue trees and developments are affected.

That's what I want.

are you joking? a cartoony style is the worst for a bttf game

A cartoon style game based on a live action movie?

Also the cartoon style would give people the impression that this was designed for kids. Yet the movies have cuss words, sexual references (And they didn't try to hide them) and the game follows this style closely for the most part.

What do you think a parent will say when they buy this for their kid, only to hear s**t, or Jesus Christ, or a magazine that says porn on it?

The graphics don't fit.

I couldnt agree more it's like saying that cartoon graphics fit gta better than realistic graphics

I think a comic book style would go nicely for special cut scenes.

I just hope that they keep Marty as the main character. If it turns out to be something like the Animated Series, where the main characters were Doc's kids, I won't even waste my money on it.

HA! Marty not being the main character! That's a good one!

However I wouldn't mind multiple characters such as playing as the future Martys. Season 1 was all about exploring Doc's character and past. Now it's Marty's turn so I say we will be seeing is past and future. This could go for some serious character development and that's why I think the sequel will be way better than the first.

Which might have caused the paradox involving the 3 Marty's. While Marty and Griff are fighting Edna steals the time machine and goes to the year 1967. After getting rid of Griff in a hover board scene they head home to 1986. They then see that time line is even more messed up because Edna shows off the time machine and gets rich enough for her and kid to take over hill valley. Marty and Doc then travel to 1967 and find out that she shows off the time machine to her younger self after she gets out of jail. Right when Young Edna is about to show off the time machine Doc temporarily disables the time circuits. She fails and goes to an asylum because people think she is carzy. Just as the credits roll Marty starts to fade out of existence.

Episode 7- Marty quickly looks at the picture of his family and see's that he's the only one fading out of the picture. He then finds out that George was reporting Edna's time travel discovery the same night that George and Lorianne had Marty. Marty ends up convincing George and Lorianne to have another kid. He succeeds but then him and Doc gets arrested for disarming the Edna's time machine. 1967 Doc finds out his old friend Marty is in trouble and breaks them out of jail. As they head back to 1986 Doc fades out of the delorean and Marty lands back in 1986 and sees that the delorean turned back into a regular car.

That's my thoughts for the first 2 episodes in season 2. I'll post more ideas soon

I think thats a fantastic story 1. It's like the films and the second reason is that story would have way more action scenes which makes the game more epic which is something you need to make a succesfull back to the future product, I thought there was way too much time walking around in 1931 in season 1 which ruined it for me so this looks like time travel, time travel and more time travel.

I would love for Uncharted type gameplay. The movies are adventure movies. While this is an adventure game, they do not share the same qualities unless it is an action adventure. The insane platforming and stealth of Uncharted 3 mixed with some of the puzzle elements of this game would be a perfect fit.

Yes but not with all the guns and falling throught roofs or that would be over the top but yes uncharted style would be perfect

Yeah gun play would not suit BTTF. But I disagree with there not being over the top platforming. I was thinking that they could ripoff the train scene for Uncharted 2 with the time train lol.

Anyways , do you think it's possible that the other Martys are from different timelines?

As much as I loved this season, there is one thing that would have made it better.

They have to be, they even say they are

What about timelines that we have already seen? It seems (IMO) that a time traveler doesn't catch up with the timestream unless they either die or change them from time traveling in the first place. That's why Doc turned into FCB. That's why Marty doesn't recognize the timeline changes because although it's part of his timeline he never experienced it. If Doc still traveled though time then he would be with Marty and have no idea that he runs Hill Valley.

So it makes sense. If some changes result in Marty traveling through time then the change will not affect them.

My guess is the second Marty is part of our final timeline and the forth is maybe part of the "Hell Valley" timeline. I'm not so sure about the blue one though.

Doc changes into FCB because Doc has spent over two decades away from his timeline. He's not the same age as FCB n 1986.

Isn't the blue Delorean Marty the one who marries Tiff Tannen? Kind of weird for him to end up with his step sister.

Think of it this way;
-Lone Pines 2015 Biff goes back to 1955. We see him in 1955 during what is now the biffhoric timeline (where it's implied he doesnt live until 2015). In the eastwood timeline he could get another time machine and go back to 1955 again and we have the same scenario.

The reason those 3 marty's show up at that specific time is that it's the earlier they can show up without preventing the critical 1931 trips. All 3 of them were likely that 1986 Marty at some point in their timelines. The timelines skewed at some point

Interesting theory. But I disagree with it. I still believe you only catch up with the timestream if you erase your time travel existence (Died or otherwise).

Well is it not logical that could have happened with Doc; He spends at least 10 years away from his timeline prior to returning around the end of part III and likely 10 more prior to the game (Jules is around college age) plus any of his travels alone with the delorean at the end of part I (we can only assume whether he went other places aside from 2015). If he's 18 in 1931 that means he should naturally be around 73 in 1986 but old doc has been alive for over 90 years so not hard to assume FCB doesn't live that long. You could also argue that because of how critical FCB is to that timeline, old doc had to be erased to make way for FCB (perhaps the same thing happens with Biff in 2015, that biff disappears but another rich one is there).

It shouldn't matter how big of a change it is. George beating up Biff and having a better life would have had a significant impact on Martys life. The least that could happen is his memory of these events would catch up with the timeline. Also I am pretty sure Biff faded because he got killed in the new timeline.

If his age did change then he would probably not fade out but be surprised that he looks younger.

Marty was expected to be somewhere in FCB timeline so why wouldn't he disappear into that Marty?
