Very awesome but I just can't picture it
Telltale has not failed us yet, but I simply cannot imagine a good Back to the Future game. (this does not mean I'm not going to buy it asap)
For one thing, the entire movie series is really.. nevrous. Even though they literally have all the time in the world, they are always in a big hurry. Adventure games cannot be in a big hurry. Next, anything short of perfectly realistic models will look really really wrong. Now, I'm not saying Telltale can't do this, but I have never seen a video game model look exactly like, or close enough to the person they're supposed to look like. (If you have an example, please show!) I have no doubt that Telltale will make me realise how wrong I was when I play the first episode, but right now I just can't see it.

I personally think that trying to look like actors pretty much always fails. When you use caricatures though it tends to look much better. Not sure if they want to go for a realistic feel or not.

Honestly, the only game I can think of that does a really good job of this are the more recent WWE games.

I think I'd like cartoony characters rather than stiff models such as in CSI.

Telltale does have some experience making 3d models that look like real people because of CSI-- not that I love those models, mind you. Or have even played the game, just watched trailers. Honestly, after having seen the CSI models, I hope they go for a caricature.

It would probably easier if they don't go for all out realism.

Oh, please telltale don't make the models based on the animated series ....
 Don't make it so accurate like CSI either. Make them both cartoony and real .. if there's such a thing as that  as if models where 35% caricatures of the actors and 65% real faces. |

I don't think that graphically a realistic approach to this is absolutely necessary. There are a lot of caricatures and comic styles that would work quite well.
I sure wouldn't mind playing the games if they looked like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBBw9E2Q_aY |

The Telltale Engine has had a lot of improvements since the CSI games.
I don't really care what the art direction is like, but I'm thinking stylised-realistic, sort of like th Clone Wars CGI cartoon (but perhaps without the Manga eyes) could work well. |

I'm hoping for something similar as the Wii version of the Ghostbusters game. The xbox and ps3 versions looked pretty awful with their "realistic models", whereas the Wii version got beautiful caricatures.

^ I guess something like this would fit both Telltale's style and the spirit of the franchise. Works for me.

I enjoyed Back to the Future a lot as a kid. Part one was great, part two was at least partly okayish and part three was just dissapointing. Dunno, will there be a fourth film or are people still this interested in Back to the Future?
I think you can make a good as well as a bad game with this franchise but honestly there are way more exctiting things on this planet these days than Back to the Future. Out of an impulse this more falls into the i-do-not-care-CSI-category. Last edited by taumel; 06/09/2010 at 12:26 pm. |

Those kinds of pics (a bit spruced up obviously) is exactly how i'd envision the game.
TTG have done a good job, as far as i'm concerned, on all the games i've played (ToMI; S&M; Wallace & Gromit). With the cash injection they'll probably have on this project i'm sure they can come up with something very good.
