Back to the Future: Adventure Game News!

The Doc is back, and so is Marty!

Quote:

Telltale today announced that the highly anticipated Back to the Future games will feature the likenesses of the original stars that made the characters of Marty McFly and Doc Brown legendary: Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd is voicing Doc Brown for the full game series, which Telltale will deliver in five monthly episodes.

Full story here, and if you scroll down you'll see a concept drawing of the characterizations.

Well hopefully, this will make it seem even more like a carry on of the original movies.

Or at least better then the craptacular SNES and NES games.

No Michael J Fox

Well Michael does have that debilitating condition. Plus, he's done so much voice work that he's likely to be pricey. I'm sure Telltale will offer (if they already haven't), but I don't know.

The article does specifically state that they did get Christopher Lloyd to voice the doc. And now that I re-read that bit that I re-posted, so far they don't necessarily have Fox.

The article does mention that they are consulting with Bob Gale, who I think might have written and/or directed the movies. (At least the article implies that this is a big deal).

That art looks godawful. If this is anything like that Doctor Who game I'm gonna be pretty upset. I have very little tolerance for any major crap-ups when it comes to BttF.

It looks a lot like the concept art I've seen for Tales of Monkey Island, and in that case, the final product was a lot nicer to look at. Whowever does concept work for Telltale could use a refresher course in using colors.
