Telltale Games

trusto · 04/12/2011, 11:57 pm

do you know if after finishing the game will be released a DVD containing all 5 episodes can be purchased in stores?

PSI Guy · 04/12/2011, 11:59 pm

I think they just got a boxset thing of Tales of Monkey Island into storeS (saw one at an EB Games), so I'd say given enough time, yeah, it'll be in-stores.

You can also buy a DVD of the games when all 5 are released on the Telltale store, or if you already own it, you can get it without paying for anything but the postage.

trusto · 04/13/2011, 12:02 am

Well then it is confirmed by teltale?
Let me know when it is published even if I trussed the game stop?
or maybe on the network?

They've already confirmed a DVD collection (just like with every previous episodic series they've done). If you pre-ordered the game you get the DVD for free (though you still have to pay shipping and handling).

but you should only buy from the Telltale site or you can even buy games in stores?
And then the game will be played in full instead of chapters?
That is, we will install and play from the beginning to the end without playing chapters?

Even in retail copies, the Telltale games have always been divided into chapter. I can't say if this will carry over to Back to the Future, but there is a precedent for the chapters to stay separate.

Do we get a disc at the end of the season? thanks

Martin McFly · 04/19/2011, 04:04 pm

Yes, you will. You have to pay for the shipping, of course, but the disc itself is free and will be released after all five episodes.

Hi, I tried this out on ps3 but I like having Physical backups because I have a history of computers crashing and losing data forever. When you order the pc version does it come with a disc and does it have all episodes or is it all just downloads?

*Macfly77* · 04/24/2011, 10:42 pm

When you order the PC version, you will be able to get a disc with the episodes and special features at the end of the season (and downloads in the meantime, as the episodes get released).
Telltale's season discs are usually up for pre-order around the time when the last episode is up for download and they usually start shipping a few months later.
The disc is free (plus shipping costs) for whoever bought the downloadable version from the Telltale Store.
Be aware that even if you already bought the downloadable version, you will still have to place a separate order for the disc (Telltale doesn't just send discs automatically to everyone who bought the downloadable version, as not everyone wants to get a disc or to pay shipping costs).

Also I feel compelled to point out:
On a console such as ps3 (or xbox) game purchases are tied to your account.
Even if the console DOES crash and die when you get it replaced you can log back into your account and will be freely able to re-download anything you bought on that account before.

Physical backups aren't vital for consoles, only really for pcs and even then you can avoid that using backup services such as mac's time capsule to send stuff to a second HDD or using s service like Carbonite and save your files in the cloud.

Woodsyblue · 04/25/2011, 03:56 am

You don't even need a physical copy for PC really, unless you are emotionally attached to your save file. You can re-download any game you perchance from Telltale's website.

Mysticales · 04/30/2011, 06:40 am

Well now that the game is almost done. Time for those of us who ordered from Telltale directly to have details on the CD we were told we could get. =D

Just wondering if they will have anything special in them, or bug fixes etc. That and still am hoping for better sound quality, which would make the hard copy really special and worth it.

Just thought id post and see if there are any details on the cd. =)

PsychoRaven · 04/30/2011, 07:31 am

There probably won't be any details till Episode 5 is released or about to release.
