Can I get some system requirements?
I really want to have this game. But for the last season of sam and max I had to push down the graphics to get a good framerate.
That was still OK. But I'm worried, that the back to the future games won't work on my mashine...
A little notice to those wanting to pre-order on Steam. If you order from Steam, rather than Telltale, you will not be elegible for the free (except for shipping) end of season DVD, which includes the five episodes of BTTF plus many behind the scenes goodies, concept art and developer commentary. And with BTTF being a major license, I can only see good things coming out of this DVD.
Yeah as always i bought it here, but hopefully steam will popup as well i have no problems buying such good games 2 times, and its alot nicer to actully have it on steam
That's the way Telltale have worked since they began (I'm a regular follower of them ), the DVD's are exclusive to those who buy from Telltale's site, and not to steam, which is run by Valve or something (don't really know ).
But yeah, there might still be a chance of Puzzle Agent being free on Steam temporarily as well. Telltale have carried offers across to Steam in the past.
No DVD features have been announced. The DVD has been mentioned on the store page(I linked to it above). Developer commentary, concept art, and other special features are by no means crazy to assume(they've been pretty consistent with these kinds of things in the past) but Telltale haven't directly said what will be on this disc yet(but then, they usually don't until the disc is about to come out, so this is normal).
Probably because they've not announced anything regarding the actual individual episodes. Once that happens I'm sure they'll show up in the games list.
And, given their recent history, a couple months after episode 1(the free one) comes out, it'll be only five bucks or let you get everything else in your cart half off or come with a lifetime supply of Cheetos.
They're probably going for the maximum, which would be 400 to 600 MB. If that's a problem, let a friend download the episode and install on your computer from CD. You can activate your episode via your internet connection, however crappy - that should not be a problem, not even with 56k.
And welcome to the forums! Stay a while, and listen!

I've been pondering that over and over, and in this single case, I must admit, I really don't care. BTTF at 24,95 is a brilliant bargain, I'll readily pay to play it first. Also, chances are I'd be paying overseas postage & packing for that lifetime supply of Cheetos, and I don't even like them!

Whats better for Telltale? When everyone waits until the game gets a discount or when some of the buyers are not that stingy and are willing to pay the full prize for the game (and/or other stuff)? you can do the math yourself....
AND the Poker Night promotion works with it, knocking it down to around $18! With the price of Poker Niight, the whole order price goes down to $23.66.

you're all scrooge mcducks!!!!
I don't care what's best for Telltale. Maybe I'll wait for them to put it on sale and give the difference directly to Team Fox. Then would I be a scrooge?

Why dont you just pirate the game and give the whole 25 bucks to team fox?

No one's attacking you here (but give to Team Fox as much as you can ). If you'd like to wait, please do so, without remorse! People who can wait for a year are normally far better off financially, it's true!
Still, I just bought BTTF for 24.95$; that's about half the price of new retail games in Germany. And even counting the p&p to ship the DVD over, it's still cheaper than the adventure game I recently bought here, "A New beginning", which I can't play because it's way too buggy and crushes every other second.
Just a quick question, it's not showing up in my games list but Puzzle Agent is.
Also where are the insider forums?
Cheers in advance!
At least for me, the insider forums are in the Universal section just under this forum. As for the episodes not showing up in your games list, that's because the episode titles haven't been announced yet. They'll show up eventually.
december? what about december? "winter" is a long time, there's no statement that says "december", is it?
The press release from yesterday states December for PC/Mac and "shortly after" for PS3 and iPad.
I'm still baffled with the iPad support. Especially since I heard that only the first episode of the recent Sam & Max season made it to iPad.
I say just focus on PC/Mac and proper consoles. Otherwise, it just looks like you released an episode and gave up on the platform, which is rather unfortunate.
I really want to pre-order, but waiting for the Steam offer, since I have all of my newest games on Steam, would love to add this one to it aswell (I even bought S&M 3 twice when it came as a cheap bundle on Steam together with 1 and 2)
Only thing I might miss out is the DVD, but a friend of mine preordered it already so I can always watch his DVD :P (if there is one afterwards ofcourse)
Yeah when i saw this news i immediately made an account here and on the telltale website and pre-ordered the game without any doubt.
Especially when i knew that Bob Gale, Christopher Lloyd was involved and i'm a huge fan of Back To The Future Trilogy because its simply the best movie ever.
I have the Trilogy DVD Box of it.
I'm 28 now and i still cant get this movie out of my mind mostly of the fact i'm fascinated by the idea of time-travel and BTTF is a great way to escape into that subject.

ok, sounds great. I just hope that my PC can run it. I had some crash issues with the last season of Sam & Max.
...
.... okay i'll just give you access to my paypal account, so you can take all the money you want whenever you want
EDIT: hehe, not 5 minutes after I type this message the forum shows up. Goody!

I have the same question, because I also want to pre-order it on steam. Will this be possible, and with getting Puzzle Agent for free, too?
Thanks in advance for an answer!
Hopefully my secret forum pops up soon ish xD
Hoping the same thing myself got the email got the code got puzzle agent free just no forum yet but I am sure it will be here for me soon
Where do you have that info from?
Nevertheless it would be nice to know if this Steam will offer the same promotion. (I mean the downloads, not the DVD^^.)
But yeah, there might still be a chance of Puzzle Agent being free on Steam temporarily as well. Telltale have carried offers across to Steam in the past.
I already have Puzzle Agent and Poker Night. Also, I'm somewhat waiting for a price drop.
Damn you Telltale, everytime i hear the theme i wanna watch the movies. Its kinda.... jinxed.
@Chyron8472: Price drop? How dare you!
I also already have Puzzle Agent and Poker Night and i dont give a sh*t
Its Telltale! Its BTTF! Its only 25 bucks :eek:

Nothing's happening there at the moment anyway.
