Here is what we know about the game:
For those of you who don’t recognize the name of the company — Telltale Games is a video game developer founded in 2004, consisting of a group of former LucasArts employees who worked on the Monkey’s Island and Sam & Max games. They have produced games based on Wallace & Gromit, Homestar Runner and Tales of Monkey Island.
Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors has said that “the games, which are in the early stages of development, would tell new stories extending the “Back to the Future” and “Jurassic Park” lore. He teased that the “Back to the Future” games may include a DeLorean ride back to the 1970s while the “Jurassic Park” games would be intense and add new backstories to the series’ man-versus-dinosaur mythology.”
Then, here’s part one of the Back to the Future video game series called Behind The Scenes.
“The games are going to exist within these worlds,” said Connors. “I wouldn’t call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium. For one generation, it’s an introduction to these series. For another generation, it’s a thing they can look back on and something they can share warmly with their family and friends.”
And here’s part two called Hey McFly. And for anyone who is thinking “Why didn’t they just get Michael J. Fox?” well, he did allow the game developers to use his likeness, he just “wasn’t available to do voicework,” so they got A.J. LoCascio instead.
Here’s a third video all about Building the Game.
The games will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC and Mac games this winter. As someone who is a huge Back to the Future fanatic, I am very excited. Out of all the games produced based on the Back to the Future franchise, none of them have been really good. The coolest thing I’ve seen was a mod for the game Crysis. And judging by Telltale games past releases, this project has the potential to be really fun.
