Wait another seven to twenty-seven days. We haven't even got a release date for episode two yet, and it has never, ever been said that they'll release the episodes at the first of each month. In fact, even hoping it might be the beginning of February might be a bit foolish.
well, i purchased the game on the beginning of January so.. i guess i expected it to be on feb. 1st i guess... it just seems weird to me for it to be at the end of the month...

If you've actually bought the full season, then you can play Episode 1 right now. It's just Episode 2 that will come out some time before the end of February.

Not that I'd like to get your hopes way up, but... mid-month is still a possibility, although there is no release date yet.
The loyal, long-term TTG fans actually want the episodes to come out later, because they somehow want these games to feel "less rushed".
Just curious, but why the two months wait? Is every episode of this series going to be staggered on a 2-month release schedule, or is it because of the free episode that TellTale has opted to wait an extra month?
We have no idea, really. Maybe it's to coordinate all the possible release schedules, synchronize everything with the different platform releases. Maybe it's to optimize the launcher/game mechanics/engine bugs after extensive episode 1 beta-testing by the community. Maybe it's just an extended X-mas break. Who knows?
Every other time there's been a game release over the end of the year, there's been a skip-month. Generally they released Episode 1 in November (e.g. S&MS2) and December was the skip month, with Episode 2 in January. For BTTF, the first episode was out in December, so Episode 2 is February.

Please don't use "foolish". They had a whole month (january) to actually make it possible.
That was meant more in the sense that beginning of February is pretty much over now, and there's still no release date for episode 2. There was absolutely no connection to my thoughts about what could have been done since December 22nd.
I already forgot what happened at the first episode... two months... isn't this a bit excessive? I didn't know it would take so long when I purchased the first episode, otherwise I guess I would have waited a bit... this is like reading a book (or a tale, in this case), or watching a series: if you leave it for a long time and get back to it, it's never as good as when you can read all regularly, or even better, in one go... if you know what I mean. Also I felt kinda stupid since I payed one month and a half ago and now I read the episode one was out for free... That doesn't feel like the best treatment for the ones who support the product... but well, it may well just be that I'm tired of waiting.
Well, the first episode may be technically "free", but still none of the people who get it "free" have yet had a chance to play the episode. Telltale: Kamikaze Marketing Since 2004.
The waiting, however, is just part of it.
Just a little more patience... can't be more than 17 days away now.

Also you could be like me and start binging on adventure games until it comes out. I guess its good I never played season 2 or 3 of sam and max. Still have the original....haven't beat that one in a while...:cool:

Good thing you're not a tron fan then! 30 years between sequels.
Just a question but can I download episodes from the BTTF the game menu which lists all the episodes and when there coming out or will I have to just download them from my games

My money's on Max ate the flash drive with all the source code on it again and they're waiting for him to pass it. (and for the government to dispatch a level 5 haz-mat team.)

QFT. Whenever something goes wrong at the Telltale offices, I'd bet Max had his hand in it somehow.
Hi, everyone! Is anyone having a problem installing episode 2? I keep getting an error 1400 'could not levatate' ..? *Thank God the DeLorean and hoverboards don't have this problem lol!* Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you kindly!
This is a general question regarding the direct 2 drive website. Are others having problems downloading from this website? I've seen some saying they can download their episode 2 game, however I've been looking the past couple of hours and still can't download. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time posting!
My friend came over the other day and signed into the BTTF client using her Telltale name so she could play for a while.. I recently got Episode 2 and installed it, but I can't play it because every time I open BTTF, it's automatically signed into her account, no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall. She doesn't have Ep 2 on her account, so it doesn't give me the option to play it.
So how do I sign out of the BTTF client in order to access my account and play Episode 2?
I got the bundle for back to the future on the ps3 do i get eps 2 3 4 and 5 for free
or do i have to pay for them
If you paid for the PSN version ($19.99, I think), then yes, it includes all five episodes. However, only the first episode is out on PSN right now (in North America). Episode 2 should be coming shortly, and the others over the next few months.
I'm seeing a lot of technical oriented questions that a lot of us don't know how to answer, so this is just a friendly reminder that we have a Game Support forum where those types of questions are much more likely to be answered.
It's possible. It may also appear as a feature on the DVD, and if not it may get posted to the website at some point after the season is over. Telltale's usually pretty good about that sort of thing.
so as far as I can tell, all of telltale's other games have the option to get a DVD with all the episodes on it after the finale. will this be the case with BTTF? 'cause I've checked around the site, and I don't see anything about that.
that's what I thought. 'cause I got the disk with Sam and max. the only reason I felt I had to ask, was because no on on the page for the game did it actually say there would be a disk.
but thanks for the info!
I really enjoy the idea, and like how TellTale has the majority of their adventure games done that way, but I do have a complaint. Just as you know that your favorite TV show will be on at 9 pm on Thursday we should have a more specific release date for each episode besides a whole month. I know that things fall behind schedule, and I have done game programming myself and realize the complexity of software, but if the movie and television industry can hold to difficult schedules then so should an "episodic" developer.
That's unfortunately not what episodic gaming is about. It's about getting the episode out as soon as it's done. Movies and TV shows have a difficult schedule, but if TTG was to do the same, BTTF would not even be out yet. After all, movies and TV shows (and almost every other gaming company, for that matter) count in YEARS of development, while TTG's development counts in months. If a movie is delayed, we're talking months; if a TTG episode is delayed, we're talking days. It's quite a difference.

I think so that this is game is very interesting.

You should see what he did to the coffee machine.
Max + Coffee? No, actually, I'd rather NOT see what he did to it.

Can you tell me please when I can expect BTTF episode 2 for IPAD?
Thanks!
For every Telltale game you will receive the disk at the finale, for free, if you pay for the postage only.
but thanks for the info!
Just my 2 cents anyway.
Unbelivable.
