Speaking of Sam & Max soundtracks, any news on The Devil's Playhouse's? Jared did a fantastic job with that one and it'd be a shame if it doesn't get its own release with gorgeous Steve Purcell artwork!

Oh, goodness yes, I had forgotten about that :O

 

[kiryogi]

Yeah no lie, I need to replay this on my big screen in the living room when it hits PSN Will Double dip.

 

[TheDrowningMan]

Hmmm....got Snow Leopard all setup and DL the game, when I hit play from the main menu it doesn't load up. What gives?

The download offered when going to the website for the first time after the release didn't work for me. However, I re-downloaded from My Account -> Games and that one worked immediately.

 

[Zoramon089]

Is there some technical or logistical reason people who got it free with the offer have to wait till February? I know it was free and all but...I wanna play it now...But, I'll just wait =(

 

[dream]

I wish Michael J. Fox was well. The way the voice actor for Marty swings between sounding exactly like Fox to not sounding like him at all is jarring.

 

[LiK]

got the MAc version off TTG but it's not launching. wth, seems like other ppl have this issue...

i should've gotten the Steam version.

Can confirm/promise/announce nothing, but at least that's not a denial.

I think he sounds more like Marty than Christopher Lloyd sounds like Doc these days.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I have a serial number under My Games, but it is saying that I don't own any of the episodes. Is that because I got it for free? Is there anyway to register the serial number?

Holy Hercule Poirot in a blood-soaked bathtub with a full set of dental records and a mud-caked workboot with two missing treads! Good enough for me

 

[Deleted member 1159]

I totally forgot about this, instabought off Steam!

 

[dream]

I think he sounds more like Marty than Christopher Lloyd sounds like Doc these days.

Wait, what? That's actually Christopher Lloyd as Doc in the game?

 

[jvalioli]

Wait, what? That's actually Christopher Lloyd as Doc in the game?

Yeah, he's a little old now so he sounds different.

 

[Like the hat?]

I think he sounds more like Marty than Christopher Lloyd sounds like Doc these days.

I just said the same thing to my wife

 

[ArjanN]

I think he sounds more like Marty than Christopher Lloyd sounds like Doc these days.

I think even if he was well, Michael wouldn't sound exactly the same anymore.

 

[V_Ben]

Goodness me... this one really does appear to be something. Fantastic stuff.

 

[JohngPR]

Yep, I did the same exact thing and it worked like a charm.

I played up until Marty

Spoiler

gets to 1931 and I loved it. The intro was great, and I loved the Miami Vice and Weird Science posters Marty had on the wall.

The game is a bit on the easy so far, but I don't mind since the production values, voice acting, and story are pretty interesting so far.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Was so excited for this, forgot it came out, looked at giant bomb quick look, said bad words due to awesome, buying now.

This is my first real go at episodic gaming

Spoiler

Half Life does not count, right

 

[WillyFive]

Is anyone else a little disappointed that (early game spoilers)

Spoiler

the opening was just a dream? I was fucking going CRAZY at that intro, and then it wasn't real.

Yeah, it was

How do you run when using a 360 controller?

 

[Grayman]

Do they get the whole season free or just one episode? If it is one episode it might be to convince them to buy the rest after they play. If the whole season maybe they wanted two to be available so that non gamers "got it" about the releases.

Hold onto B.

 

[Coop]

I liked it but the

was screwy for me.

I like where this is going in the next episode.

[stuminus3]

So I got to play for a little bit.

I love you Telltale. So much.

Keep this up and one day you'll find I'm wearing all your skin.

 

[Like the hat?]

oh my god
Love this game. Just finished it.
February is waaay too far away.

A little bit, but I like where the story actually went way better than where it was going...I'm so not the target for this game though. My sister's BF wants to play it too, so she'll definitely play through it. I really want to know how she likes it.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Went ahead and got the season pass. Loved the first episode. They did a really great job with it, and the controller support is flawless.

I did find a game killing bug in the middle of it (by doing something out of order, apparently) and had to restart, but otherwise it was fantastic.

 

[Pikelet]

I found out that this game was out by looking at my friends list, within 20 minutes i was playing it. I looks and plays great on my hdtv with 360 controller, and the music is just awesome. Haven't really struck any roadblocks with the puzzles which is cool. i also liked a lot of the dialogue, like when you try to use the phone before speaking to doc near the beginning

Major props

 

[NathanMcMahon]

So, no word on the PS3 version?

 

[Jibber Hack]

Just fired her up. Don't have time to play though. I grew up going to the mall from the movies. Awesome to see it in game form. This looks to be a good time.

 

[threenote]

This game is sooo good. Although, Biff's voice sucks big time. Everything else is up to par.

 

[Feep]

Just beat it. This IS Back to the Future 4, as far as I'm concerned. I do hope we'll see times other than this one, but I can't much complain.

Edit: If I've bought and downloaded the regular game through Telltale's site, is there a way to get the Steam version? I like having all my games in one place = (

You lived near the Panorama mall?

Beat it, loved it. Can't wait until the 2nd episode.

Yeah same here. I tried putting the serial number into Steam but no go.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Just finished it and liked it a lot.

Now, spoilers (don't read if you haven't finished it)....

Spoiler

So, if the Delorean is a duplicate produced by the lightning in 1955, does it mean that there's a duplicate of the Doc too?

Also, Ms. Strickland is hot!

Still uploading, but here's a gallery of 27" screenshots

Oh, Flickr resized them. Oh well, at least they're clean.

Well... it can work if it's an

alternate reality, somone traveled to that exact moment in time and is hidden in the car with Einstein. Then changed the destination time when it was being controlled by Doc to a time when he/she changed the history so the mall and Doc never existed...

You have to think in four dimensions!

 

[eznark]

um, is the kitchen broken?

Spoiler

that's a new one. Is this the first telltale puzzle where you're just supposed to stand in the corner for 8-10 minutes until a cut scene happens? Got three races in NFS:HP done while I waited though!

 

[Jibber Hack]

You lived near the Panorama mall?

Actually it's the Puente Hills mall near the City of Industry. I made many a trip to that JCPenny when I was a boy.

Finished. SO GOOOOOD

I like how you think. Maybe for Back to the Future: The Game 2!

Ok ... i officialy can't wait .... can someone please spoil me the begining of the game ... i mean ...

I was like that too .... but ... well, I figured, what the hell?

Alright, here you go:

The feeling you get while highlighting that is as close as I can find that will give you an idea of what the intro is like without actually spoiling it for you.
