The upcoming downloadable Back to the Future video game episodes from Telltale Games just received massive stability backbones. Not only will the new games feature the likenesses of the original Marty McFly and Doc. Brown, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, respectively. But the games will also feature the involvement of Bob Gale, Back to the Future's original co-creator and writer. Furthermore, Christopher Lloyd will provide his voice for Doc. Brown throughout all five downloadable episodes!
“Creating cinematic adventures true to the source is a top mission for Telltale,” says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “Securing Marty and Doc for the games, and presenting the experience that fans know and love, has been top on our list since we initiated development.”
As for Mr. Gale, his "involvement" will be as a consultant to Telltale for characterization and storyline beats, ensuring the games will be "true to the spirit and adventure of the films."
“Twenty-five years ago when I wrote Doc Brown’s line about ‘seeing the future,’ little did I realize that I would be traveling with him to work on this game," said Gale. "Collaborating with Telltale is an amazing opportunity to continue the adventures of Doc and Marty.”
Amen. Bring this game on now! And while we wait, here is the first concept art from the games with the cartoony likenesses of Marty and Doc. Brown.
