Posted before, but the annoying music from the NES version is actually super sped up version of Power of Love.

Though I think the youtube guy might've edited it a bit to fit better.

 

[Like the hat?]

will buy the moment it shows up on steam

 

[rollingstart]

I ordered this because I can't say no to BTTF

for people who have bought things from telltale before like this, around when does that collector's dvd become available?

 

[LiK]

preordered, can't wait.

:lol @ AVGN gif. that was a great ep.

 

[TheBear]

will buy the moment it shows up on steam

Which is when exactly?

 

[Like the hat?]

Which is when exactly?

no idea, but hopefully sometime tomorrow

Well the Sam & Max's third season collector DVDs are just now starting to be sent out. So that's two or three months after the season has ended, right?

I'm so ready for episode one tomorrow. Between BTTF, Steam's sale, GOG's sale and Cataclysm my consoles aren't being played much right now. :lol

Also hoping that TT releases a Steam code for their direct sales customers...

 

[Henchmen21]

It occurs to me (mostly cause BTTF II was on tv today) but shouldn't the hoverboard be in this? Doc had it when he rescues Clara at the end of III so it should be with his stuff.

Yeah, was throwing this together before bed seeing as how nobody had bothered to, and went a little copy paste crazy.

 

[B.K.]

Maybe Doc destroyed it while reverse engineering it to make his own hover system for the train.

 

[celebi23]

Maybe Doc destroyed it while reverse engineering it to make his own hover system for the train.

I thought Doc said to Marty (at the end of BTTF 3) that he already went to 2015? Couldn't Doc just have gotten the hover conversion then? :lol Anyhoo, I'm pumped for this. For awhil, I've waited for a BTTF resurgence. One of my favorite trilogies

 

[Bebpo]

I get the feeling this thread will be pretty empty since Telltale gave the game away for free but you have to wait until Feb to play it.

I'm still debating whether to wait it out, pick up the first ep, or pick up the full season. I like Telltale stuff but it's always like $10 for the entire season 6 months later, so if you're not going to get to it day 1 it usually seems better to wait for the price drop.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Greatly appreciated sir.

 

[Medalion]

Wow, the voice actors sound very close to the originals... is the voice of Doc Brown actually being voiced by Chris Lloyd?

 

[Stallion Free]

Ugh, I'm busy all tomorrow and Thursday. It's going to be hard waiting until Friday to finally dig in. I plan on doing the episode in one sitting for sure.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Wow, the voice actors sound very close to the originals... is the voice of Doc Brown actually being voiced by Chris Lloyd?

Yes.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I can't believe this is only a few hours away from release.

 

[stupei]

When does stuff usually go up on Telltale's site? Never purchased from them directly before.

I fly to see family for the holidays today, so I'd like to have it on my laptop to play at the airport, if possible. Would make travel way more bearable.

 

[kiryogi]

After seeing the msg about my free ep1 being feb, I ended up getting the full set. Couldn't help myself :lol I love BttF and wanted the collector's DVD.

 

[McBradders]

I just ordered it. Fuck you people, have you no sense of mercy? It's Christmas


:lol

 

[Android18a]

I need this now.

 

[TP]

I was hoping this would be out by now =(

Edit:

"We never release our games at midnight... Or almost never. Bttf will come out during business hours (9am-6pm) pacific time. We like having a fully staffed team in the office when the game comes out, both to be there if something goes wrong, and, just, you know, to hang out."

Well then im off to bed.

 

[numble]

Does anyone know the Mac system requirements, or if Telltale has said anything about their iPad development team (I've heard that their previous iPad ports were poor)?

 

[Peff]

Heh, I was going to do it yesterday but I had no clue if someone had actually called dibs for it. Oh, well, I hope it's released soon. Hype !

9am Pacific Time? Jesus, that's like 8 hours away! *gets in his DeLorean and sets the Time Circuits for 17:00 GMT*

I'd love it if they'd get the French voice actors from the movies to do the voices in the game. Even though I speak English, those voices have always been linked to BTTF in my head. I've never even watched any of the three movies in English.

You should really watch the movies in their original language. 99.9% of the time, they'll be better that way.

It baffles me that countries like France and Germany still dub over movies.

Yeah, also BTTF has some English word jokes that I don't think translate to other languages.

"This is heavy."

"Frisbee! Far out..."
"It was right in front of him!"
(Two english jokes there!)

"Make like a tree and get out!"

And more...

Yeah, same here but in Spanish. Though, most of the them are probably already retired...

Anyways, buying it as soon as it hits steam.

I'm pointing at my dick with excitement.

That's what I always do (I don't even use subtitles). It's just that the BTTF movies are movies that I watched a lot as a kid and I didn't speak English back then. It's a nostalgia thing.

And you wouldn't believe how many people HATE to read subtitles. That's why they keep dubbing over movies.

I've watched bits and pieces of the movies in English over the years and I must say that the French translators most of the time managed to find jokes that fit pretty well in the movies.

They keep doing it because they've always been doing it and people are used to dubs, that's all. Here in Sweden people have no problem reading subtitles, and only kids movies are dubbed. It'd be the same in France/Germany/Spain if the languages weren't as widely used. The biggest problem with dubs is that people who don't hear/see spoken/written English are a lot worse at speaking/writing it themselves. Spanish people (like my relatives) are horrible at English compared to many other Europeans

 

[plagiarize]

so excited

of course, i don't know when i'm going to have time to play this... soon, but i don't know how soon.

Anyone know how Snow Leopard is these days? Looks like I'll need to upgrade.

EDIT: Official requirements:

256MB minimum? That's surprisingly high for Telltale. Ah well, not like my laptop can't handle it.

Not sure why this is there, the last 2 sets of Mac Minis easily fit into the specs as does my 2008 Macbook regular (not Pro)

Well considering all the other BtfF games...

Spoiler

This one will be good though. Telltale are quality.

Where we're going, we don't need reviews.

 

[goldsoundz]

Playing through the entire episode when I get home this evening. I've been anticipating this a bit too much since I saw Marty's voice actor interview.

:lol

I didn't think we had any mileage left in referencing this game with classic BttF quotes, but WHOOMP! There it is!
