There is something in the game that I don't understand.

When he returns to 1985 and it has become a police state, then that means that Doc would have never built the time machine, yet the machine is still there and is able to be fixed by Doc #2. Shouldn't it have disappeared?

It's true it is a game error but most people say the reason the time machiene is there is because it is a duplicate so the original time machiene if it was still around would of disappeared but the duplicate doesnt for some random reason.

(Also it is not 1985 it is 1986)

The Great Cow Race The Hint system and difficulty

Having now completed BTTF I think it's good that more BTTF is on the way. I think the (visual) hint system was pretty crap. The audio hint's were good without being too obvious. I'm not sure the new BTTF stuff should be more complex, I think Telltale got it about right. The visual hint thing must be overhauled. Oh yeah, there were a few bugs in the Expo - I floated between floors in the home of glass (and got stuck, having to quit and start again) and the diver / Doc still tells Marty off even though he had run off in an earlier scene. The graphics are good even on my low-spec laptop.

Im happy with that as long as it is a bit more polished
with the current graphics everyone either has big heads or are hunchbacked
Jurassic Park graphics would work a lot better.

Good point. But it's still confusing.

I also would like to have a chance in season 2 to drive the Delorean, and I would like to see what happened to the time travel train.

Yes I agree I would like the time train to make a appearance

the end result of the time train ends up getting changed; prior to the game we find doc has been away from the timeline for six months (either the past of the future) likely with the timetrain. At the end of the game we find he's been back all along. So in the present timeline the time train is presumably in 1986. We will never find out where it was in the original timeline.

i allso think there should be a game just based on the BTTF trilogy so we can re live the trilogy in game form ? as the ones that were on the nintendo and master system ect were not that good at all , maybe good in there time when they first came out but now in this day in age there not good lol

That depends. If Doc decided to take Clara to 1985 with Marty then he wouldn't have needed to make the time train. However if he didn't make it back with Marty then the time train exists.

That's a terrible idea. What makes the game so special is that it continues the series. Why would we want play something we already seen in a movie? Same goes for all movie tie-ins. They need to be a separate scenario.

Well there's no evidence that the events of the third film change at the end. Presumably doc is still stranded in 1885 until he builds the train. If he got back with Marty, the delorean likely would have still been destroyed and thus he would have no way retreiving the temporal duplicate in 2025.


I wouldn't mind reliving the movies in game form, the problem is it wouldn't fit telltales point and click format as we'd know the answers to the puzzles.

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.
The only problem with that is budget. Even if the background characters don't talk, each model costs money. Money that could be going towards new "sets".

Absolutely right which is why I found it to be a very minor problem. If a second season is created and the same problem is present, it won't drastically affect my opinion of the game. I only mentioned it because it was noticeable.

Very likely they will release info about season 2 at this years E3, but I am not sure so dont take my guess as a confirmed answer.

There should be a part in the game where he goes to a certain part of time and ends up screwing up everything he did in the movies. He still crashes into the Rolls Royce, he still ends up as a loser who gets insulted by the word chicken, George is still afraid of Biff, and Marty never went with Doc to 2015, which would result in Doc not going back to 1885 and he wouldn't have met Clara and his kids wouldn't have been born.

Yeah that would make a paradox...

Would a paradox really result in the end of the universe? That's the question.

But I would love to revisit parts of the movies. like we have to go back to November 12 1955.
