So you want Crysis graphics for BTTF? Good bleedin' luck with that kiddo. It's cartoony or nothing, take your pick.

We're not saying the graphics have to be ultra realistic. But the cartoon design has to go. Like I said earlier, they should use a graphic style similar to JP only with a bit more polished. There's a difference between graphic quality and graphic design. I'm not complaing that BTTF has out dated graphics but more like the design of it was off.

Look at Zelda SS. They did their best with SD wii graphics by making the art style beautiful although textures are low res.

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?
Except Doc got rejuvenated hence why he looks young for his age. It's the same deal as Biff, Doc doesn't live to his current age in the new timeline and thus fades.

JP is about as good as it would get.

One thing that I would have loved as a feature in the BTTF game is the possibility to wonder off and do your own thing. I know its an adventure game with missions, but I found it pretty limiting on how much of Hill Valley you can actually visit.

With this game series, you guys can finally give BTTF that fourth writing, a continuation that you can lead fans in, but also give them the freedom to explore back into the original movies.

Have BTTF 1,2,3 re-visited with the game.

1. Get Marty to go back and get the Sports Almanac.
2. Let Marty JR from the future get arrested and then Doc and Marty try and prevent Marleen from getting arrested for breaking out her brother.
3. Lets live those years that Doc is back in the old west building his Train Time Machine.

Make it a prequel pack or something where we fill in the blanks of all the cool things from the original movies. That would be Awesome.

The game wouldn't feel the same then, it's gonna be Cartoony. Unless the game is remade, it's gonna be Cartoon like. Maybe the quality could be upgraded, to Jurassic Parks standard, but other then that then that's what the game will look like.

Were making a new season, not a remake or a new game. So Zelda is out of the question.

Yeah well I think I speak for most people when I say season two should feel like BTTF and not just more episodes. They need to treat season two like a sequel and not more of the same gameplay. Otherwise they can not really improve much.

It's a BTTF fan service game. Would you rather have the art style feel like the movie that the game is representing or a cartoony style that doesn't not resemble the movie or even the content of the game just because it's another season?

Plus it's a horrible graphics choice. As I said it's a game with mature content. People will get the impression this is for kids. I wouldn't mind if there were a few hidden sexual references but they're not hidden and it has a fair bit of swearing. I'm no art designer, but I can tell you that that's an awful choice.

Default A sequel would have to at least have some episodes in the future

My favourite back to the future is number 2, i loved the idea of what the future would be like, hence i was disappointed that there was no travelling into the future in the first games series. I did however love the idea of the story, i would welcome any more adventures from the doc and marty

BUT PLEASE HAVE SOME ADVENTURES SET IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!

I have loved back to the future since the day i first saw it as a young boy, and i will love it until the day i die!!!! BEST MOVIES EVER (Slightly eclipsing The Matrixes)

Main things I want:

1. A story that makes sense and fits in with season 1 but I dont want it to be silly and over the top.

2. Great voice actors also I hope telltale get Tom Wilson to voice Biff Tannen

3. Longer episodes with more puzzles like the one in outatime where you have to connect the satellite dishes to the delorean.

4. Better graphics which are slightly better than the Jurrasic park graphics and I will be happy.

That is the #1 essencial thing for this game to really come together with the current elements the game already has.

Biff's voice is synonymous with who that character is.

I want the game to have more of a movie feel like Heavy rain but still have some fun factor in it. I also want a small open world type game so we can explore hill Valley.

Just played the entire series in two days. I really want a second season. Loved the story(telling). Setting, characters, character development, dialogue, everything was great about that, just like the movies. Loved the gameplay, though I admit it was maybe too easy at times, though for me great difficulty is not a requirement for this type of game. Graphics were generally good, same as most other Telltale Games, fit for the job, except in most of the episodes (2 through 5, I think) I encountered graphical glitches at some points in the games that were annoying/made it difficult to continue without restarting the game or changing the graphical settings first. What I'd say is: Telltale, keep up the good work, and keep the games coming. Also, while I'm at it, I suggest a new Hector season, if possible, and maybe more Puzzle Agent/Strong Bad... And possible more Tales of Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit and Bone series, but can't say for sure since I haven't played through those yet. In general, keep giving us more amazing point-and-click adventure/puzzle games.

That's not going to happen with Telltale's games for sure, since they're point-and-click adventure games... But I would love for there to be an open-world BTTF game, maybe an MMO... But unlike Star Trek and Star Wars and other big franchises on which MMORPGs are being based, BTTF doesn't have nearly as much material/content/story to it, since there were only 3 original movies. As you said, it'd have to be a small game, which would make it unfit for multiplayer in MMO style...

lol When did I ask for a MMO? You can have open world in singleplayer you know. Plus I think open world actually suits adventure games a lot. Adventure games don't focus on action elements such as shooting or hack and slash titles so a good substitute would be exploration.

Well, everyone experiences things differently.

I didn't say you were talking about MMOs, I thought that *might* be a good idea. Single-player open world could work if done in a certain way. But I don't think Telltale will make a game like that, they haven't done so far and their formula has been successful enough.

I don't see what's so successful about a non liner game that has choices that only change dialog and some give you options but the dialog is the same and a game with only puzzles for gameplay.

It is not the most important thing but I think they should add some cizitens walking around because Hill Valley felt like a ghost town most of the time.

Also some more delorean chase scenes and stuff.

The Soup Kitchen guy wasn't enough for you?

I do agree with you though. Aside from the occasional car that goes by, the town was pretty much dead; although it didn't help matters that you couldn't go inside most of the stores and were limited in terms of movement within Hill Valley.

Food for thought though, that confuses things more (which some think is good, others do not like). Adding more areas and objects which are not required to advance would make it harder.
