Ever since we first heard the news that Back to the Future was hitting on consoles this December, I’ve been all a-quiver with excitement. Something about those light, tingly chimes of the original BttF Overture just whisks me back to a childhood crush of Michael J. Fox, a near word-perfect recall of the entire first film’s script, and an unspoken, cheesy love of Huey Lewis’ Power of Love.
The long-agonised issue with film-to-game translation is that … well, for the most part, we know that they all suck. But knowing that Telltale are at the helm leaves me curiously optimistic. And now that we have a trailer, I feel that my trust was not unfounded. It looks good, people – it looks good indeed.
The first episode of Back to the Future: the Game is set for release later this month and will be available on the PS3, PC, Mac and iPad.
Now make like a tree and get outta here.
Psst. The voice of Marty McFly? Nope, it’s not Michael J. Fox – honest. Kotaku report that it’s a hitherto and relatively unknown actor by the name of A.J. Locascio. Uncanny, eh?
