Michael J. Fox in Episode 5 - discussion

[SchottGun]

There's going to be a Back to the Future panel at Dragon Con this year, with Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and James Tolkan (so far).. so it could just be related to that.

[Nintendo Boy1]

Eh? I didn't know it was back to the future related. In that case it's a possibilty of two things:

1.) Guest Star (Michale J Fox, etc.) I could imagine Michale voicing for 2011 Marty. 2011 Marty, meaning when Doc hinted Jenifer's and Marty's wedding in 2011. Michale could possibly be voicing for that 'Future Marty' if we're going to that timeline and if Michale J. Fox is called to voice act for the game.

2.) Or Game ports annocments. (XBLA, WiiWare [doubtful],iPad, etc.)

[Kyronea]

Wait, why is WiiWare doubtful? Wasn't SBCG4AP released on WiiWare?

I find that far more likely than XBLA. (Ugh...XBox...)

Something tells me they got married before 2011...



...if these two were in 2015.

Yeah, but SBCG4AP is nowhere near as graphically detailed as Back to the Future.

[Kyronea]

The art styles may be different, yes, but the demand on the hardware isn't exactly anywhere near as different as you might think. The Wii can handle it.

Besides it's perfect for WiiWare anyway.

A Back to the Future episode is literally more than FIVE TIMES the size of an episode SBCG4AP. The problem with Wiiware, and the reason it is easily the worst downloadable game store running today, is its pathetic file size limit. Without even getting into whether or not the Wii could RUN Back to the Future, it doesn't matter. Wiiware couldn't HOLD it, which is the OPPOSITE of being "perfect" for that horrendous, irredeemable platform.

[Kyronea]

I don't actually own a Wii, and know what I do about it mostly from friends who own them, so I suppose I was wrong about WiiWare being perfect for the BTTF games. I was under the impression that WiiWare was an equivalent to the PSN or the XBLA, with the same lack of restrictions, etc.

[Solid Mike]

If you are keeping track, the thread has been derailed and needs another go.

[Shadowknight1]

Here's the thing. They're saying that some of the announcements have to do with the WHY behind Ep5 coming in June. I doubt a season 2 would necessitate that decision.

They used Christopher Lloyd to do some voicework on Toonstruck 2! their next project. Thus delaying episdoe 5 please be true!!! lol

[jannar85]

The big announcement is probably Tales2 <3

Right, something pushed an episode back. People thinking it's "Tales 2" or the even further outlier of a Toonstruck game are probably going to be disappointed. It's pretty unlikely that we're going to have any newly-announced properties(they've essentially mapped out the next two years already). My guesses are extra content in some capacity, booking a celebrity voice that requires some extra time, or some form of promotional tie-in with another big BttF-related announcement or event.

Maybe they're bringing in Tom Wilson?

Jumping Jiggowatts I never thought of that... Good idea, i hope so...

If they get Tom Wilson, they have to get him to re-record all of Biff's lines in the previous episodes too. The current Biff is just so bad.

Agreed; having Tom Wilson voice Biff/Kid would be spectacular. Granted, I know the chances of that happening are slim but a fan can dream.

[Buckynohair]

An announcement regarding a fix for the piss poor audio quality of the voices would be enough to make me happy. Especially for the ps3 version. As well as the awful distortion it also seems to snap crackle and pop all the time. So annoying and distracting. Nearly ruins it for me. I refuse to get excited about JP untill I know it won't be a problem there too.
Great game otherwise XD

Noooo. "Kid" Tannen must have the voice of "Kid Beyond", hence the name!

As for Thomas Wilson, even if he returns, he should have his own Biff for the voice-overs. There are enough out there, really. I'd be very content if Kid Tannen remains as he is and only the actual 1986 Biff's lines are redone (there's no Biff in episode 4 (?) and only very few Biff lines in episode 1 and 2. The third episode has the bulk of the voice-overs to be redone in this case).

Kid Beyond has done his very best, and I am content with the choice. Finding someone to step in as 17-year old Marty McFly was probably hard enough, but a fitting replacement for Thomas F., who is now about the age he was supposed to portray as Biff Tannen in 1985, pretty impossible. Taking Kid Beyond's versatile voice to get Biff "through the ages" was the right choice and he should be seriously p****d if TTG just wiped him from the game.

According to the information we got through different channels, TTG tried to contact Wilson, but a serious cascade of misinformation prevented him from actually noticing these contact attempts, and Tom even snapped in TTG's direction when fans asked him if he was approached. I would be very glad if TTG and Wilson could be able to show their reconciliation by having him voice a few lines or even get him in as Biff Tannen completely. And I'd definitly want a video of Tom Wilson with his hand puppet at the TTG studio.

But Kid must remain Kid!! It's too late for everything else, and Kid Beyond was too good in that role.
