Thanks for the answer Jake, I didn't know that. At least now I know why you guys couldn't do a Tales soundtrack

It's a shame that LucasArts won't release a soundtrack of said game. The music for the cutscenes specially is some of the most interesting music of video games from recent times, at least in my humble opinion.

Sorry for going off-topic!

Off topic, but do they own everything from Tales, or is Winslow for example owned by Telltale?

Poker Night suggests that Winslow's character model is Telltale's property, but his name is LucasArts' property, to give you some idea of how complicated this stuff can be

Way to crush my dreams...

I kind of doubt I would, I have enjoyed it, but I doubt I would purchase it.

... Does Winslow appear in Poker Night, but never get referred to by name?

Yes, and yes. He is credited as "The Host".

Scnew · 04/13/2011, 02:58 pm

Weird.

Falanca · 04/13/2011, 03:04 pm

Weird that you didn't know about that before, to be honest. Unless you were keeping yourself away from... anything that may spoil a game about 4 unrelated characters playing Poker?

Scnew · 04/13/2011, 03:07 pm

How is weird that I wouldn't know that? I haven't played it.

Bloody Eugene · 04/13/2011, 03:14 pm

The problem is that buying TT soundtracks outside US if very costly - mainly for the shipping. If they were available on digital delivery I would buy them all!

Come on TT, I'm sure you can do it!
(BTW, the My purchases page seems to be a little full right now... I own all games and it's a huge list... Can't you group episodes of the same game?)

Well, many people on forums pointed that out, many videos of the game on Youtube has Winslow's distinct voice everywhere (as he's the host and the narrator of the game), etc etc.

Scnew · 04/18/2011, 10:05 am

You're right. It is pretty weird that I didn't watch YouTube videos of a game I wasn't interested in.

Get them when there's a free shipping campaign. Like last December.

I presume it would be a similar situation with Universal for the music for this game. Still, maybe if enough people express an interest we could get them to at least release the soundtrack on iTunes or emusic or something.

I wonder why more companies don't release the complete scores for films and games online. I mean, one of the main reasons I've heard for not releasing them in CD form is that they're worried that the expense of producing the discs with the packaging and hiring someone to write liner notes and whatnot would be greater than the amount of money they'd get from the sales of the CD. But you don't have that issue if you release it online. You just have to let whatever site you pick to host the music have their cut of the sales and they handle the rest.

Also, I'm pretty sure all or almost all of the songs in Get Tannen are songs from the period, or are from the public domain, meaning Telltale doesn't have to pay anyone a cent to use them.

Toneiiblue · 04/27/2011, 04:42 am

Mmm, can someone confirm that fact? I'm writing a film noir and I'd love to use Ain't We Got Fun in an opening nightclub sequence. Maybe with a Marty & Kid Tannen lookalike haha

TheHutt · 04/27/2011, 10:19 am

Well, after all, 90% of the soundtrack is just Silvestri's old score for BTTF, so if you have the OSTs for BTTF I-III, you basically got it all.

MrMoo · 05/11/2011, 11:19 pm

Is there any chance that the soundtrack to Back to the Future: The Game will be released after Episode 5 is released.

Edracon · 05/12/2011, 08:51 am

I would hope so, but if it doesn't happen, there is a program that allows you to extract music from tell tale games.

Maybe they will put the MP3s on the DVD like they did with Strong Bad.
