Back to the Future: Episode 4 for PC/Mac is coming later this week. Definitely not tomorrow, so no need to do the whole F5 thing then.
Your update is much appreciated and gives us fans a certain feeling that the producer (be it you guys or whomever go to the same lengths for their fans) has an "I care..." attitude about them; definitely a good thing.
On the other hand -and, not to seem too cynical- I hope this post wasn't made solely to the JP delay and the desire to not want to appear out of touch with the fanbase, which must be comprised of a large percentage of 'overlap'. In other words, the "oh, crap! b/c we delayed X, they're going to bail on us with Y and Z!".
Why don't you want to listen?
Telltale doesn't release games on the week's last business day (which is actually Friday). So it will be released on Thursday.
No, don't worry.
The Devs have confirmed that it will be released this week and someone said that TTG never releases on fridays. So it will be released tomorow (Thursday).
No, don't worry.

That's not quite true... I believe they prefer not to release on Fridays so they're in the office to respond quickly to any bugs, but there's nothing that actually precludes a Friday release.
Friday releases are rare, but according to my statistics it has happened at least once - the first (!) episode of "The Devil's Playhouse" was released on a Friday.

That happens every day for an hour around 8am GMT (2am PDT).
oh does it? that maintenance page is terrible.. the image doesn't even work..
yeah we were told by alan, on page 120, that its not coming out today, so no need to F5 all day, and they said it'll be released this week, so that leaves us only friday... but we were told that Hector drops today. just woke up tho, havent checked anything yet
Yeah, I wish Telltale would be a little better on updating us all on when the hell episodes are supposed to come out. They got it right with the first episode, but since then (and this is just my opinion) they seem to be kinda slack... I mean, look at Telltale's homepage for BTTF right now. They're still advertising episode 3... That ad should of come down over a week ago, and been replaced on Friday, the 15th of April with the new ad for episode 4 AND IN THAT AD there should of been a date on when episode 4 is coming out. They had that for the first episode back in December, why the hell didn't they do that for the rest of the episodes 2, 3, and now 4??? I don't mind that the episodes come out at the end of the month, but damn, give us a date and hype it up a little bit Telltale. *PLEASE* The last thing I want to see when I visit the site is an old commercial showing me clips of an episode I beat over a month ago!
What is Hector even about? It could happen tomorrow too! I am thinking it happens tomorrow. They should add Marty McFly to the maintnence sign or at least have a picture of the game they are uploading on the maintnence sign.
Anyway, because of their episodic schedule Telltale tends to cut things pretty close in development. (Development on Puzzle Agent ended literally hours before release.) It's fairly common for them to release things at the end of the month (which, if you'll notice, Episodes 1 and 3 both were). It sucks having to spend a month in anxiety like this, but they always come through in the end.
On the bright side, my birthday is April 30th. Maybe Telltale will give me a present.
Telltale, you're trying our patience. Let us speak to someone who can get things done! :P
They've said that it's coming out this week, and there are still three working days left in the week over at Telltale HQ, so...eh, relax, you'll be playing it before the weekend hits.

Official word. Friday then.
Well then... (Flips off Automatic Refreshing Macro)

Either way, thanks for the info!
Not true, Puzzle Agent was released on the 30th of June.
Anyway, I feel like episode four will be here on Friday.
(and if it's early, so much the better!)
Besides, if not Thursday, then DEFINITELY Friday!
Edit: If you meant page 120, (the previous page) he said tomorrow. Tomorrow is Wednesday, which is when Hector is releasing.
..... page 20? Are you kidding me? How could he know that waaaaaaay back in December....?
Hector comes out tomorrow, so friday it is through process of elimination!!
Edit: oops i didnt realize i waited 30 minutes or so between typing and posting haha my bad!!
I don't see anything about Thursday in here. So , it could be Thursday or Friday.
Your right! But Im hoping Thursday!
Same here.
Thursday or Friday, I just can't wait for ep. 4 to make it's debut.

Wrong. Alan said NOT today. Today is Hector day! That means: Episode 4 will launch tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
