Jurassic Park & Back to the Future by Telltale! Back to the Future Facebook game

this could be fun, but I'm thinking it will be more of an action adventure than their previous offerings.  I know that at least the first Sam & max episode had a car chase mini game, but I think JP would involve bigger pieces like that.

I think the first comment sums it up perfectly.

Uh...?

I love the Jurassic Park IP and I'd really like to see it used more often in video games, but an episodic adventure game isn't what I had in mind. Oh well.

yeah, it's not like a velociraptor would wait for:  Use milkshake with hat, open server, use milkshake soaked hat with server, close server, use code on keyboard 

[TiLT]

I can't see how they'd be able to do this properly using their standard type of gameplay. Perhaps they're planning something closer to the old Resident Evil games? An episodic survival horror game in the Jurassic Park setting could be cool.

[Destructor]

Maybe they'll make a Trespasser 2 with it?

hey now, boob physics has come along way since T1.

[CeeKay]

now this seems more up their alley: Back to the Future.

USA Today has some info on the Back to the Future game.  Christopher Lloyd will be back as Doc Brown and Justin Bieber will voice Marty.

the new voice of Marty McFly

also, part one of the behind the scenes.

[EngineNo9]

I have to say that the Michael J Fox/McFly impersonator is incredibly good.  That gives me some hope, although seeing that the real Christopher Lloyd was more animated than his in-game character was a bit disconcerting. 

[Rumpy]

Yeah, I agree. He really does sound the part.

[EddieA]

No Bieber = No Buy

[Rumpy]

seeing that the real Christopher Lloyd was more animated than his in-game character was a bit disconcerting. 

Yeah, his character was rather stiff-looking compared to the high-energy output.

damn, that makes me happy to hear.  that's really an incredible impression.

[CeeKay]

they have some new Back to teh Future videos up.

[frost]

I'm not really sure what to make of this, but it looks HILARIOUS.

[frost]

can we get an "Opposing Force" expansion, and play as the Libyans?

[CeeKay]

the debut trailer.  hopefully they remember to pack some extra gas this time.

[Arkon]

Really looking forward to this.

[CeeKay]

Doc Brown.

[CeeKay]

woohoo!  Steam finally put a forum up for Back to the Future so they'll have it at some point.  if it's today cool if not then I can wait.

So, that free episode of the game?  I received an email on the 17th (missed it until today) that said:

Thank you for registering to receive your episode. Your free episode -- Episode 1: It's About Time -- will be available in February. We will notify you when it is ready for download.[/b]

Booooo!

Kind of funny they booed themselves in their own email that you quoted.

Put in a few hours of Back to the Future last night and it seems pretty neat. Listening to the theme song always brings back memories of my time around high school and I love that this is getting the Telltale treatment for adventure games. That guy who voices Marty really does a spot-on job of MJF. This looks like it'll be a fun series to play through.

Steam has the Season on sale for $22.49 (10% off).

w00tinee!

Just finished the first episode of BttF. Pretty good. Puzzles were pretty straight forward (it is the first episode after all) and the voice acting and music was good too. Took about 4 hours. Can't wait to play the next one.

[CeeKay]

got in some playtime over the weekend; random thoughts:

those hints that pop-up during the frist couple of scenes are annoying.

the opening was pretty cool.

it'll be interesting to find out how the DeLorean is back (I just went back in time so I'm figuring it's expalined and I already have a good idea about how).

I did find this odd:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Marty's Dad not batting an eye at the DeLorean.

Thinking back, I'm not sure that George ever saw the DeLorean, did he?

[CeeKay]

some new news on Jurassic Park!

[The Grue]

I finished up the first episode of Back to the Future and have to say I really enjoyed it.  I am a huge fan of the movies, so that probably helps, but I just loved all the little in-jokes and such.  Looking forward to the next episode.

First look at Jurassic Park:

trailer for BttF episode 2. 

[CeeKay]

and Get Tannen is out.  Not sure if it came out late yesterday or early today, but I don't remember seeing it on my Steam games list last night.

[spigot]

Took long enough. It felt like forever since the first episode came out. Excited to see what happens next.
