    All the time but then I figure 'What the hell?'.

    You know...that was some weak writing. It was like, the plot no longer really makes any sense, so what the hell, suspend your disbelief!! :p

    I know exactly what you mean. After all this talk about how interactions from the future can alter the past and essentially drive the world into an apocalypse, they pull a fast one and have Doc Brown accept the knowledge about his future. Granted, I know that this was Doc's life at stake but after becoming the moral compass of time travel for almost the entire movie, it was sort of a cop out.

    On the other hand, it's one of my favorite lines of the movie so I let it slide and willingly suspend my disbelief. :)

    I hope so. That said, with the prolonged PSN downtime we're unclear on what, if any, effect it may have on Back to the Future's release schedule.

    You and the rest of the world Alan. Those hackers/crackers/whatevers really screwed up everyone just to teach Sony a lesson.

    I imagine Ingen right now as Aperture. 2 Science overwhelmed Companys. Creating more harm then good. Then having to be overrun by something and becoming abandoned. I found an old tune of Ingens theme. I lost it 1 year back. I still remember the tune

    "Dun...Dun...Dun. Were Here. For Science"

    Reposting this here too. Episode 3 was scheduled for May 3rd on PSN. If this is accurate that means we would see it the 27th.

    From Gamasutra
    Barring any additional problems, Sony plans to bring the PlayStation Store back online next Tuesday, May 24, according to a memo sent to the console's publishing partners.

    The company has sent a tentative publishing schedule to partners detailing when their games, expansions and other releases will become available to players. In the memo, obtained by Gamasutra, Sony unveils plans to do two content pushes per week for the next two weeks to catch up with the backlog of content.

    "We thank you for your patience as we work to resume service of the PlayStation Store," wrote PSN content manager Jack Osorno to developer partners.

    The first push, set to coincide with the PlayStation Store's reopening, will distribute content that was originally scheduled to publish on April 26. Three days later on the 27th, another round of games will go live, which were originally scheduled for May 3.

    The following week, pushes will take place on May 31 and June 3, using content that originally had been planned to be spread over three weeks. At that point, the company will be back on schedule and, presumably, return to a single content push per week.

    While Sony is trying to maintain the queue that was already in place, the company says it is willing to move some titles around, depending on urgency. Seemingly, this would include DLC packs for existing titles that have already released expansions on other platforms.

    "If there are concerns, we are willing to consider adjusting the release date of your content on this schedule," says Osorno. "Adjustments will be made on a case by case basis."

    The launch of the PlayStation Store is one of the final steps to bringing the PlayStation Network back to full operation. Sony has said many times that it expected the network to be fully operational before the end of May.

    Osorno's note does not detail what plans, if any, Sony has to assist developers who were impacted by the outage.

    In some cases, that impact has been substantial. Capcom corporate officer and SVP Christian Svensson, for instance, has previously estimated the company's lost revenue from the outage as being in the "hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars."

    Other developers have remained more supportive of Sony, but have made public appeals to the company to assist them with marketing their titles once the Store goes back online so that they might recoup any losses.

    Sony, though, is actually in something of a power position -- especially with smaller developers. Despite the security crisis, the company remains one of the most powerful players in the video game industry, so few, if any, small shops are going to make a lot of noise complaining about the way they feel they have been treated. While some could jump to Microsoft's Xbox Live platform, they're unlikely to do so immediately.

    For consumers, the relaunch of the PlayStation Store should get them one step closer to being able to claim the contents of their "Welcome Back" package. As detailed on Sony's U.S. PlayStation Blog, PlayStation 3 owners with existing PSN accounts will be able to download two free games from a pool that includes Dead Nation, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD and Wipeout HD.

    Sony has said that those (and other) freebies would be made available once services are fully restored.

    Sony's statement implies that developers can contact them if they want to release their games earlier. I guess TellTale could try and get the game out three days earlier.

    Doc B?! That's the last thing Marty needs right now, a psychopathetic Doc bent on killing him, kidnapping Clara, Jules, and Verne, and wreaking havoc throughout history...

    I remember watching it when i was kid and being upset that Doc died. Thinking it was cool when he said "hell" (Doc not playing by the rules for personal gain).

    I did not see Back To the Future till last year. When I did, the second movie was playing and I was watching before dinner, then I stopped and watched all three movies that night. I like Michael J. Fox in that black outfit in the past. If I could live in any decade in the past, I would live in the 80's, but I would have all of the technology of today with me and all of the things I have now. But I would have a secret place to keep it so only I and people from the 20's can see it. You know how in the movies, spies and secret agents and all of them have a secret headquarters. That would be what it would be. And my computer would be able to do all of the stuff in the 20's. And I could type this message.

    Oh good, oh man that was a close one,..I thought it would be ever later.

    bloody...really; June? I'm actually at home where it won't take me a day to download the episode from steam and the release gets pushed back to June, when I'll be back at school where it will take me a day to download it?

    /facedesk

    WTB consistent release schedule -__-
  • edited May 2011
    I agree. The release schedules are all over the place for BTTF. Wouldn't it make more sense to release them the same day every month or close to it?

    It was never 'pushed back'. While Episodes One through Four all specified release months, Episode Five never mentioned a release month and was just labelled 'Finale'. To be honest, we should count ourselves lucky that it's releasing in June; it could have been released in November.
  • edited May 2011
    People are complaining because they won't have the finale before june.
    I'm still waiting for episode 3 on the PSN! I won't say anything else, you have understood. :D

    Once again...

    Yea!!! At least PC buyers get to have episode 4 right now. PSN owners can only do the first 2 episodes!!! PC owners should consider themselves blessed! It is not TellTale's fault for the hack! Telltale is working hard to get episode 5 and other games for us! It is almost June anyway! 1-5 weeks will not kill you! At least we know the latest they can publish the 5th episode is the last day of June. I hope they do the beginning, but they only said finale, then June.
  • edited May 2011
    i don't think we'll have to wait that long... since episode 4 came out the middle/end of april, , we'll probably get it the beginning of june since episode 4 came out around the 30the 30th of april, and there really is no set announced date, maybe we'll get it the 30th/31st of may? here's hoping lol
  • edited May 2011
    Well PSBlog said PSN not coming up today. They hope by the end of the month still. So I guess that blows the Gamasutra rumor out of the water. So the PSN only users are still SOL on episode 3.
  • edited May 2011
    Well, it's just bloody dandy im counting down the days in boredom... And well it's all good. I dont mind waiting for the game.... Problem is what after episode 5.... Will we have to wait YEARS before another company makes another game? *Sigh* What perplexing questions.....

    It's pretty clear it's JUNE, until further notice. And I have no problem with that. They always tried to make the last episode extra epic.

    Well it never was a press release. It was a letter to developers who had content that was supposed to be released on PSN store. I like you am lucky I have the PC versions too but I gots to get me trophies. lol
