This is heavy: Telltale making episodic Back to the Future game: "
Where Telltale Games is going, it doesn't need roads (because its games are distributed digitally). In addition to the announced
Jurassic Park games, the
AP reveals that Telltale Games is crafting an episodic game based on
Back to the Future, the classic '80s movie trilogy about a time-traveling Delorean, hoverboards, and Nintendo's
Wild Gunman (also, people are in it). Telltale has yet to specify gameplay styles, but we expect adventure games similar to
Sam & Max, as is Telltale's specialty. We're
so pleased Telltale made that deal with NBC Universal.
'The games are going to exist within these worlds,' Telltale's Dan Connors told the AP. 'I wouldn't call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium.' That means we shouldn't necessarily expect to relive movie moments, but rather experience new stories within the worlds of these games. For
Back to the Future, that means that all of human history is open to exploration; for
Jurassic Park, it pretty much still means running away from dinosaurs.
The AP notes that both series are due to debut this winter, on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC and Mac.
