Marty or... not Marty?
Well, thanks to TellTale for stealing my idea... I was going to make BttF games after becoming a professional game developer!
 Anyway, I'm really excited about the news. But. There is one question I have. Do you think TellTale BttF games will have Marty as the main character, or someone else? In my past vision of future Back to the Future games, they took place during the few minutes of the first move - after Doc drives Marty to his home in 1985, and before he returns for Marty and Jennifer from 2015. That moment of time gives the possibility to do infinite number of stories and plotlines without contradicting the movie. Yeah, no Marty, but still there's Doc. Still. We all know that games based on movies, movies based on books, games based on books, books based on movies, and all this shit, even if it's the same story (actuall, ESPECIALLY if it's the same story), usually contradicts each other because each is in it's own type of media. So I'm not against Marty. I like Marty, Michael J. Fox is great (and, I've heard the games were first announced during his birthday, is it true? Well, today, yesterday, depends on your time zone) But, anyway, what do you think? Marty or no Marty? |

It's gotta be Marty. Making a Back to the Future game without Marty would be like a Monkey Island game without Guybrush.

^ Well, Marty will be in it no matter what. The question is will you PLAY as Marty, or be a 3rd character that interacts with Doc & Marty, as is often used in licensed games (see CSI, or many Star Wars games where you usually play as a new character, but meet the familiar ones along the way)
Anyway, it HAS to be Marty. No question. |

Well, Blade Runner game felt just great without Harrison Ford.
As I said, I'm not against Marty, but I don't see anything bad if he won't be in a game. Now, if the plot will be based on the plot of the movie, that's one thing. Of coure Marty. No question absolutely. If the plot will take into different directions away from the movie, many stories and adventures, OR if it will be both movie-and-expanded-universe (so to speak), then I would pity Marty. The kid during BttF2 and 3 probably just dreamed about when it's all going to end. I think Marty is in another league, not in the same as Sam, Max or Guybrush. The movies were... well, realistic is a poor choice of words, but, well, not overly over the top. I don't care for Mario as a character. Nobody does. really. That's why he has so many games and adventures. If there will be lots of adventures in BttF, Marty may as well lose his appeal to me. Maybe the game itself. Marty never travelled in time because he wanted to. Only because he had to. Sometimes because of some accidents. Just how many accidents may happen to keep him travelling through time? Back to the Future is not Monkey Island. It's fun, it's adventereous, but it's different style. I don't want to see that style gone. |

This is definitely great news for Michale J Fox, he does voice acting. I'm surprised no one approached him with any Back To The Future material before.
That is of course after the movies... Last edited by doodo!; 06/09/2010 at 02:58 pm. |

You know, it's been said that these games will take place in the movie worlds, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll star the same characters...I think we should prepare for this possibility.

I hope it's Marty, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't.
TBH, as much as I love Marty's character in the films, the key character in games would be Doc for me, because you have to have him as the eccentric genius behind the time-travel. If it's just "oh I bumped into the DeLorien, and now i'm in the old days, how odd" then it'll be a bit of a let down for me.

Figured now would be a good time to get a forum account. Hehe, I prey not honestly. I want a game in the world but with someone new. Don't get me wrong I love him in the movie but humor wise in a game form I can't see it working too well.

It would work fine. But either way we don't really know for sure until we get more information (maybe at E3?) and until then we should still be prepared for that (unfavourable) possibility.

You speak the truth, we can't have a Back to the Future Episodic adventure without a horrible main villain; I.E, Biff.

Okay, I'll be the devil's advocate here and go for not Marty. We know Marty-- time to branch out and meet someone new! That said, we absolutely MUST HAVE the doc!
