Telltale Games

Woodsyblue · 02/17/2011, 09:10 pm

The JP site is up now and the game is available for pre-order.

I have a question, at the end of the season will there be a complimentary DVD like all the other Telltale games? So far I haven't seen any mention of it.

Edit: There will be an end of season DVD, as confirmed by Alan later in the tread

They make it sound like lower price of BTTF is because lower quality product compared to their Jurassic Park game.

nomecopies · 02/17/2011, 11:41 pm

There are no benefits of preordering apart from the 5 bucks disccount? I hoped at least an exclusive forum

PainDealer · 02/18/2011, 12:20 am

I'm quite sure there'll be one later. They may have felt there's no need for one yet.

StingingVelvet · 02/18/2011, 03:34 am

Gonna need more info on this one since it is not a standard Telltale game from all accounts.

Crrash · 02/18/2011, 03:36 am

i think telltale has given me too many free things. I'm finding myself hesitant to preorder, since i don't see any free game or store discount or whatever bundled.

Javi-Wan Kenobi · 02/18/2011, 05:48 am

There is an expiration date for the offer (other than game launching day on April)?
I'm finding myself a little hesitant to preorder, too. I'll eventually preorder anyway, because JP is a game I really want, but I was hoping for a store discount or something (there's a few T-shirts and things I'd like to buy, and my personal budget is not as big as it used to be a few months ago...)

*Vainamoinen* · 02/18/2011, 06:21 am

Indeed, I second the question: Where's the Season DVD offer?

I'm not sure if I'll buy this. Also, absolutely nothing is announced to justify a pre-order this time. No special forum, contest, exclusive information, deals. Nothing is announced concerning gameplay except the ugly "Heavy Rain" clone idea, and that sounds even worse gameplay-wise than BTTF. Give now, we'll deliver in April: That just doesn't work any more.

Trenchfoot · 02/18/2011, 07:00 am

Yeah, it would be nice to know if there will be a DVD if we pre-order now. And what about the exclusive forum? I'm sure there will be one, but I just wanna be sure.

Although I can't wait to pre-order... I'll probably do it today.

Alexrd · 02/18/2011, 08:12 am

I'll buy the DVD too. If the gameplay is good, that is.

Weeblerjake · 02/18/2011, 12:21 pm

Hmm. From the trailer, it doesn't seem to give off the feel of Telltale's other games. I might wait a bit to learn more before pre-ordering.

WARP10CK · 02/18/2011, 01:18 pm

Well I just preordered out of curiousity be interesting to see what telltale did with this.

RexMaster · 02/18/2011, 03:25 pm

I want a direct comfirmation from a Telltale dude if possible, but, if i pre-order it now for 5 bucks off, will i be able to dwnload it from steam in April since its Prepaid or do i gotta wait for a disk or somethin? Please help!

waroftheworlds01 · 02/18/2011, 03:43 pm

If you order it off the TellTale website they send it to you in the "Your Games" section at the top right hand corner of the website. This is what I gathered from the email I got anyway.

synJP · 02/18/2011, 05:14 pm

i pre ordered the game via my pc...if the game is release on ps3 and XBLA will i have to stick to my pc or will i be able to use some kind of code to download on ps3?

waroftheworlds01 · 02/18/2011, 05:48 pm

I think a different perchase is needed if you want it on the PSN or XBLA. Think of it the same way as CD's. If you're buying the PC version you can't use it on a PS3. If you're getting it on a PS3 you can't use it on the PC.

This is correct. Until Telltale develop a cloud system like Valve are doing with Steam and Portal 2 for PC and PS3 you will have to perchance the game on different platforms separately.

That's not really a "cloud system" that's just Valve giving you a Steam activation code in the box with the PS3 version, which is brilliant marketing since it just means more Steam users.

You are on to something though in that eventually, years or even decades down the road, games will likely be contained on services that you can access through streaming on many different devices from PCs to phones or even consoles (or set-top PCs that act as consoles). The downside to this of course is that you will never really own anything, and the death of a service means the death of a game.

Any news on the system requirments? Hoping to be able to play this on my laptop, which runs Back To The Future fine on medium settings.

The site on steam is up, and they show System requirements:
