    Will CPR Guy be in this game?

    "I think he took his wallet!"

    I want to know what happened to the Western Union guy played by Joe Flaherty.

    Just imagine, your company has been holding on to a letter for seventy years, to be delivered to a kid waiting in the middle of nowhere at a very specific time, the whole office has a bet on whether or not the kid would be there...and when you meet the kid, he just shouts something about someone being alive and how "only one man can help me now", and runs off. Most anticlimactic mystery ever. What would he even tell the other guys at the office?

    Though he's not as minor of a character as the ones you guys are suggesting, I do hope to be called a "slacker!" by Mr. Strickland.

    That guy is brilliant! That scene is one of my favourites from the whole trilogy. 'What's CPR?'. :D

    That's a very good one!

    Now I want to see both CPR/Wallet Guy, and Western Union Guy, in the "present" 1985 era. See how their lives turned out.

    My guess is CPR Guy became a police informant.

    These are fundamentally different characters. George McFly doesn't get along with Biff Tannen, but Marty and Needles... well, there's more to this relationship than meets the eye. They're obviously not "friends", but Needles seems to exert some kind of control over Marty that's not tied to violence. They have some kind of relationship - for worse - that was never really told in the movies.

    Strange to think as Biff as such a massive character in the trilogy yet we know nothing on his present family or relatives in 1985. Just that he has a 'waxing shop'(?).

    Michael Jackson :) he was referenced in all three movies,lol.

    omgah yes. >=

    I really liked Clara (and even the kids were okay in the cartoon series, and I normally hate the kid characters in those 80's/90's 'toons) and I'm hoping she'll appear at some point in one of the games.

    And it would make sense because Griff Tannen is Biff's grandson, then who's the mother or father on the Tannen side?

    Huey Lewis.

    He won't do it. The game is just too darn loud.

    Exactly, maybe some backstory?
  • edited October 2010
    ^ Agree with seeing Griff's parents & Huey Lewis (I'd love to see Back in Time used in the game too but not holding my breath)

    -Max Headroom.
    -Alternate 1985 casino girls in exclusive pre-order bonus. Leisure Suit Marty, anyone? ;)
    -Lorraine 1955
    -Insane Doc (maybe he has escaped from the alternate 1985), travelling with the alternate 1985 Marty.
    -the 'Keep it, I have a Pitbull now' kids
    -Sheriff Strickland and his boy
    -1885 McFly family
    -the NEW 2015 Mcfly family...

    Seconded.

    I have often thought that an older Jules or Verne would be a great choice as protagonist for another installment of BttF like this.
    Yeah, Marty is a good choice too obviously, but I hope they still play a big role in this. They're Doc's kids, and from what we saw at the end of Part III it seems they follow him around all over time. They have got to have, like, the coolest lives growing up.

    Also, I think the time train kicks ass too.

    Wonder if Verne went to the loo in the end, in that end scene his face was in pain - the thing that topped it all, was the pointing to his "flux-capacitor"!

    The sort of thing a mum would show his future girlfriends!

    like several others I want Jules, Verne and Clara but I'd also like to see Jennifer Parker(Marty's Girlfriend). As indicated at the end of part 3 she knows all about Doc Brown's time machine and I really think she'd be a funny addition ^^

    She knew about it in the start of Part 2 before Doc zapped her, then again when she met her older self.

    I don't think 1985A Doc was actually insane (at least at first), but that Biff pulled some strings to have him committed.

    Doc is always insane (but in a nice way). ;)

    Maybe certain events in 1985A have sent Doc "over the edge". But I also believe that Biff wanted him out of the way. The entire alternate version of this year felt like it's all Biff's fault, why should Doc's cruel fate be an exception?

    well kinda but when Marty got back to 1985 in part 3 Jennifer thought it was all a dream until after the note she had in her pocket(form part 2) was erased. Her and Marty then went to the railroad tracks where the time train showed up.(also implying that they talked about it alot on the way)

    I'd still like to see her ^^
  • edited November 2010
    Well Marty's family isn't really that important but I think I'd like to see Jennifer. Even if it's a scene at the end that uses the original actors and they just talk about time travel or something.

    I haven't seen any drawings, concepts of her yet. I can't imagine the series without her even though she doesn't really add much dynamic to it.

    Maybe his mother but I don't think the game really needs his mother or father in it. His brothers and sisters, I don't know if they could add much either.

    Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis thought otherwise. They always wanted Lea Thompson in the BTTF movies, no matter what. But I do see some difficulty for a game storyline that would have an important role for Lorraine Baines/McFly.

    Nonetheless, at one point or another, Marty's family members will have to turn up in the game. They just belong there. But Telltale has lots of choices, because they do not necessarily have to turn up in EVERY episode.

    I guess it could work. I'd love to hear those voices again if possible. If they want to go that route, fine. The mother and family are obviously important to the first few movies but I don't see how they are important to this game. I'm kind of tired of watching the McFly family heritage and the movies focused on the McFly family so deeply.

    That's why I said it. But you're actually right, and I'm actually wrong to have said they aren't that important. I still don't see how they can be important, fit into the game but we'll see what happens.

    I agree they don't have to be in every episode, I hope they aren't. It's getting tiring but I wouldn't mind a cameo. :p

    Never seen as a grown man in the movies, but canon still. :D

    :D Thank you, whew. I would gladly pre order the game but I'm a PS3 gamer, so i'll be downloading it on the PSN as soon as it's availiable. I feel like i'm missing out with the contest/info exclusively for the insider forum :(
