PC/Mac System Requirements (official specs on page 4!)

[Macarello]

I was wondering how much more BTTF might demand of my laptop compared to the Devils Playhouse? I just got TDP during the Meet the Players sale (At release I decided to go PS3 instead just in case), and it runs pretty well at levels 1-3, and adequately at 4-6 in windowed mode. There's a fair bit slowdown on the medium levels, but it's still playable. Will BTTF be at roughly the same levels? I'm aching to preorder it but want to be sure I can even play it.:

Nothing is finalized yet, and I don't really have an official answer, but I would say it will be similar to Sam and Max 3. We have continued to improve our tech, but nothing has been added that should cause any huge performance drops.

[Macarello]

Ah, good to know thanks. Might as well hit that pre-order button then!

[StevenMcFlyJr]

yeah, my POS lappy handles it on a lower res in a window & it's only a single core with pixel shader 1 ... so i am getting 1st free chapter to find out.

Im not sure and i think if the game is out for ipad apple ps3 so the graphics wont be something spiecal only for the pc.
And also Telltale did sam & max and the graphics there wasnt that amazing.

But i found now that the game system requirements for the pc arent this low.

2GB hard disk space i hope means a great graphics and gameplay.
And i hope the game will be full point and click cuz i dont see how you can play point and click on ps3 and ipad.

I also saw on adventuregamers.com site that the game isnt realy point and click:

Direct control (gamepad), Direct control (keyboard), Direct control (mouse)

And i saw now the game is out for mobile too. and on mobile the graphics cant be that good. But i hope im wrong.

Anyway:

Back To The Future: Part 1
PREDICTED System Requirements* GD Hardware Rating Diff
Intel Processor - Pentium 4 3.0GHz Login to compare your CPU
AMD Processor - Sempron 3600+
Nvidia Graphics Card - GeForce 6800 Series 128MB Login to compare your GFX Card
ATI Graphics Card - Radeon X800 GT
RAM Memory - 1 GB CLICK if you have bought or are going to buy a digital copy of this game
Hard Disk Space - 2 GB
Direct X -

Disk space 2GB ! Sam and max each episode wasnt 2GB or im wrong?
I think thats a good sign if the first episode is 2GB then we will have a very good graphics.

I just hope the game is a classic point and click with the mouse and keyboards. Anyone knows if the game is a classic point and click?

Thanks.

Like Sam & Max or Monkey Island, this will have "Click and Drag" or "Mouse and Keyboard" gameplay mechanics.

[Rather Dashing]

The 2GB probably is "playing it safe". I think that they're just using the maximum allowed space in a PS3 game as the "expected size", though I doubt it'll even be a quarter of that. Telltale hasn't released system requirements yet(they may not even know them yet at this stage), so I doubt this is anything more than speculation. It even says PREDICTED, so it's not from any Telltale source.

[Spykes]

I wonder if this is official, or just a "best guess".

[Alan Johnson]

To be clear, this is all speculation on the specs for the game. Absolutely not an official announcement or statement.

I want to do a preorder on this game

but i dont know if my computer can handle it?
will these FINAL specs be released soon?

also if you buy the game on ps3, do you get the final dvd as well?

i just dont want to miss out on anything.....


also will the game on the ps3 end up being 25 bucks as well? or much much more than that?

[Macfly77]

Not sure about the PC requirements or PS3 price but PS3-only buyers will NOT get the DVD at the end of the season.

[roycejunktion]

the dvds they offer after the seasons

do they usually come with bonus materials and whatnot?

1. Telltale probably won't reveal the specs until after the first episode comes out. In the meantime, if you want to see if your computer can run it you should try playing "Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse." It's Telltale's most recent game so far, and presumably its requirements are about the same as BttF's will be. You can download a free demo of the first episode here (or here if you're using a Mac). Try turning down the graphics quality if you have any trouble. If your computer can run The Devil's Playhouse, it'll probably be able to run Back to the Future.

2. You can order the DVD from the store no matter what, but you'll only receive it for free by pre-ordering the PC/Mac version from the Telltale Store. (And only the Telltale Store. You're not eligible for this if you order it off Steam.)

3. If The Devil's Playhouse is any indication, the PS3 versions of each episode will cost as much as their PC/Mac counterparts.

4. Yes, the DVDs come with lots of bonus material.

Hope I was helpful.

Thanks for the help everyone.

You know you can use gamepads on PC, right? Hell, you can use a wired xbox 360 controller, a PC 360 wireless controller, or PS3/Wii controllers via Bluetooth+some fiddling) on the PC. And this game will support wired 360 controllers out of the box(so to speak) on the PC if it's anything like The Devil's Playhouse.

I'd just like to point out that Telltale games generally use the mouse. It's possible you'll be able to play BttF without touching your keyboard once. (Although the WASD method of movement is much easier than holding the mouse down, in my opinion.)

[Rather Dashing]

Another(pretty cheap) option for controllers on the PC if you happen to have(and enjoy using) DualShock controllers from the first or second Playstation: http://www.amazon.com/PS2-USB-Dual-C...ref=pd_cp_vg_1

The whatnot section has been well covered with previous releases so I think it's safe to expect the tradition to go on (S&M discs have hilarious blooper reels).
