The McFly, Tannen, & Parker Families
First, let me just say this game is excellent! I've been wondering some things about some of the families:
1.) Who might Griff's parent be? Biff's daughter, Tiff Tannen or Biff Jr.? Biff Jr. was Biff's son in an early draft of BTTF Part II and the cartoon (Which probably isn't canon.). From what I've read on Futurepedia, Biff Jr. is about 15 years older than Griff, which would make him a teen parent and that makes sense for a Tannen.
2.) Is Biff illegitimate? From what Doc said, I'm just assuming that after his mother had him she either died or dumped him on Gertrude Tannen's doorstep.
3.) Assuming that Gertrude Tannen is Buford Tannen's daughter-in-law, do you think we'll ever meet or learn anything about Buford's son/Kid's father? I wonder if he bullied William McFly? And what about a teen or adult William? I wonder if his personality was like Marty's or if he was a wimp like Artie, George, and Marty Jr.? It seems like Marty is the only McFly without a Tannen bully.
4.) In the cartoon episode "A Friend In Deed," Jennifer's grandfather Parker is alive in 1992, owns a ranch, and is called "Pete" (As in "Peter Parker!") by the sheriff. Get Tannen contradicts this.

That said, I don't think we're going to get a whole lot of insight to those questions, we may end up seeing Griff's dad, but I only think that because Griff has been mentioned in the game. Kid Tannen is the only new Tannen I think we're going to get. (could be wrong)
Yes, this is practically BttF Part 4
Seems to me that while the game only stays true to the initial trilogy, they are attempting to keep continuity with the animated series where possible.
To those who have seen the animated series, has it been contradicted yet?
I do recall that it takes place in 1991 and the delorean is a brand new one doc built which travels across space and time. But is it explained what happens between 1985 and 1991? Can it still exist in the same universe as the video game or is it impossible for these 1986 events to have occured in the shows universe.
I haven't seen all the episodes of the animated series, but in "A Friend In Deed," Jennifer's grandfather Parker is alive in 1992, owns a ranch, and is called "Pete" (As in "Peter Parker!") by the sheriff. However, in Get Tannen, Jennifer's grandfather Parker is a Hill Valley police officer in 1931 named Danny Parker who's hinted at being deceased by 1986.
Look at the facts:
1) He's a bully
2) He has a gang of young toughs that he travels with
3) He has it in for a McFly
Sounds like the DNA of a Tannen to me...
Needles has an ancestor living in 1931.
Also, Bob Gale, despite his involvement in the game, has been quoted as saying that only the movies are canon. The game is a what-if, just like the cartoon, but it has the blessing and input of Gale so it seems more legitimate.
He doesn't have children. Maybe their was a scene...that was cut out? wtf.
skype adds persoal information about needles like name, address etc. while they are talking.
i know, i was kidding.
It specifically says on the screen when Marty is speaking to needles he has two children and shows their names.
