so this remaster just released today (Oct 13th NA, 16th EU). anyone picked it up? or played it before (no spoilers plz)

ill be purchasing just because it's Telltale. should be interesting to how their style has or hasnt developed since, as this game was originally released in 2010, 2 years before the walking dead.

I played the first episode or two, about three years ago. It was okay. BttF fans would probably enjoy it, if only for the characters. They use Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, I believe.

The thing that put me off of it, eventually, was the the old-fashioned point-and-click mechanic -- you know, go here, collect item A, go there, collect item B, have conversation, go here, combine item A with location B, well that doesn't work I'll try something else, etc. I don't find that gameplay style very interesting. I prefer their more narrative-focused games. There was plenty of dialog and conversation here, just too much backtracking and old-fashioned adventure mechanics for my taste.
 
I didn't even know this existed, now or then. Marty!!!
It technically didn't but I went back in time and changed some things at the enchantment under the sea dance and now we have a game. :p

It isn't the best game but I'm on my second play through, having played it on the ps3. My wife and I love Back to the Future, so it has been fun revisiting plus I've enjoyed the achievements. (My daughter is surprisingly good at figuring out the puzzles).
 
I have it from GOG, but haven't played yet. Christopher Lloyd is in it, but a Michael J. Fox sound-a-like plays Marty. Does a pretty good job too.

Not sure when I'll ever get around to playing it. Maybe this year would be the best time.
 
Had it on PS3 from PS+ but never got to it. I'd be interested in playing it but would rather just wait until a good sale on a super bundle of all their games.
 
I played it on the 360 when it first came out in 2010. It wasn't bad but the other Telltale games are definitely better. I just remember the Back to the Future game on the NES whenever i think of the new game. It was awful.
 
Surprising how I've never heard of this considering it's by Telltale.
