A Look Back… to the Future… Game
 |
?I wasn’t going to post this first look at Telltale’s Back to the Future game, even though it debuted in today’s USA Today, because it’s just character designs for Marty and Doc. Then I remembered this would be another serialized point-and-click adventure like Telltale’s Sam and Max games, and realized the character designs are effectively a screen shot. So here you go — Marty McFly and Doc Emmet Brown, as will be seen in the upcoming BttF game. I admit, I do enjoy the look of total, haunted madness on Doc’s face; it suits a guy who sent a kid back in time who nearly fucked his own mom. USA Today says that Christopher Lloyd will be voicing Doc, too, so that’s good news as well. Thanks to tredlow for the tip.
