I really want a BTTF game that lets you actually USE the Delorean. Like type in a certain date and year Marty learns. And you have a mini game where you have to reach 88mph. You have to avoid speed bumps, dogs on the road etc.
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
Yeah i totally understand that i got all the trophies in episode 1, episode 2 i'm just one trophy way from platinum can't wait for episode 5 though

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.
Because it's not like they've been on a monthly release schedule this whole time. (episode one excluded because of that wonky xmas release date) I think I have a right to be upset when all this time I've expected things to get wrapped up in May and all evidence prior says that a monthly release schedule is the norm.
I still consider it a pushed back release because when I see a poster that has "DEC FEB MAR APR" all lined up in a row before the last one I expect it to be released in the same timely manner as the others. Telltale doesn't get to not catch flack because they decided to be cryptic with their release dates in promotional posters. I mean ffs they can nail down the monthly release schedule for a Sam and Max season but for some reason doing the same for BTTF eludes them?
They're already cryptic enough with the fans on their release schedules, and that's okay because we always know stuff will be out by the end of the next month. But this is just sloppy or laden with asshattery; depends on how cynical you are. By the simply fact that there are a large number of people taken by surprise with the June release shows that the poster you are oh so quick to post as evidence to their lack of wrongdoing has either failed in communicating the release months or was designed to do so incorrectly in the first place. Hell, the release date for the final episode shouldn't have been left ambiguous in the first place. There should have been a hard deadline for it in place before the season even started.
So no, I'm not going to sit back and say "oh well I guess since they never said what month I have no right to be upset". It'll just affect my decision when considering to buy into the season of other series. I feel that I've been duped by underhanded advertising and subsequently will air my displeasure to such practices.

Look at the release months for the first two episodes: December and February. Now look at the wait between four and five: April and June. The wait is exactly the same. It is in the same 'timely manner' as the others.
I mean ffs they can nail down the monthly release schedule for a Sam and Max season but for some reason doing the same for BTTF eludes them?
Sam and Max weren't based on a liscenced movie. Sam and Max didn't need to have the director consulted to make sure the plot was plausible. Sam and Max didn't have Claudia Wells and Christopher Lloyd.
The way I see it, they didn't specify the fifth episode's release date because they needed some wiggle room. What happens if the voice actors had to re-do some lines? What happens if a re-write was needed?
Unlike Sam and Max, Back to the Future needed to account for the movies and try to make everyone satisfied. I know quite a few people who bought the game solely due to their love of the movies. Back to the Future needed to give off a good impression to new gamers and please old gamers.
Those release months were given before the release of the first episode. Let's say the Finale was set for May but was not completed on time. Take into account how many people would be upset; the forums would be imploding with angry comments asking where their game was. If something unexpected happened, Telltale would have to deal with upset customers.
On the other hand, by not specifying a release date, they can take any extra time to complete the final product without dealing with fuming members.
In a nutshell, they were playing it safe and I completely approve of that decision.

Would you rather have a buggy version on the game that runs terrible in May or a bug-free version that runs perfectly in June?
Yup I've gotten all of Episode 1 & 2's. I'll get all the others too. Can't call myself a BTTF fan if I don't get all the trophies for the games. lol
Yeah i know man the only one i keep missing is the "missible" Trophy where u have to follow kid tannen thru the secret passage... don't know what i'm doing wrong there

So perfectly Orchestrated... I'm definitely willing to wait especially if they possibly coulda gotten Mary Steenburgen to reprise her role as Clara LOL

That one's a little challenging but if you're looking for guidance:
While rescuing Artie from the three gangsters, you must retrieve the code from behind the bar. Play the game normally until you see the cutscene with Kid leaving through the secret passage. Afterwards, approach the roulette table and bet on 7, 23, & 30 to open the passageway.

I agree, they really pushed hard to make the April cut-off for episode 4 and it showed. They didn't release it until the second to last day of the month (IIRC), which probably means they were really rushed to make the deadline, and that episode was the glitchiest episode of the whole series, for me at least. I cast my vote for quality over quantity, and that means give them more time to polish the game before it gets released.

It's actually the second time he uses it. It's after you have gotten Officer Parker all ready to shut the club down. That time Kid leaves is when you want to do it.

You're right; I should have specified but that was exactly what I meant.

that's when i tried to do it but it would only let me place bets on red, black something like that maybe i'm missing something... gonna play thru it again tonight

Did you make sure to
look at the numbers back in the past when you were trying to save Artie from Kid's goons? If not then that's why. You have to make it a point to highlight the numbers and click so that he mentions the numbers saying something to the effect of these look like a combination to a safe.
Also make sure to scroll down the list because it doesn't all fit on the screen.

thanks i'm already 30 don't need to pull my hair out...i'd like it to get as long and as white as doc's when i reach 70 LOL
I know that feeling. 31 myself. Luckily my dad's side of the family was blessed with hair till we die. We don't even go grey. We go white headed instead. It's so weird. It starts early too. I started getting white hairs when I started hitting 25.

That would suck to not know. My grandfather was in his 90's with a full head of hair. It was thinned from younger but he had no bald spots and no spots that had to combed over. Hell my dad died of cancer and most lose their hair with radiation yet his grew thicker and actually regained some of it's color. He went from white to blackish/white hair with the blackest eyebrows. It was really weird.
Anyway we're getting off track. Is it June yet? Can I start F5ing yet? lol

This might be for you then: http://www.bttfhillvalley.co.uk/forum/index.php?

Space Time Continuum says: WATCH OUT!!!
Excellent. Now it only has to be released on PSN for everyone to be happy.
If only BTTF Ep. 5 would've came out this month. Then we'd only be waiting at most 6 more days.

oh i see, thanks man
No problem. That one drove me nuts too. So to save someone else from almost pulling there hair out is thanks enough.
The language option is not up on my bar.

I'm gonna pay my neighbor 20 an hour to tap F-5 all day and then 100 when he DLs it.
yeah it's almost june... didn't know it was a refresh contest right b4 the game is released LOL
Good luck with that. I'm paying my nephew 30 dollars an hour to tap F5 all day and 200 when he downloads it. lol
LOL i got the combo codes in episode 2 i just gotta get to the end of the episode to implement them lol almost there lol
I finally platinumed episode 2, thanks to all that assisted!!!
Best wishes on those 'plans'. I'm not going to pay myself to tap F5 all day and then play the game when I download it.
Haha sucker. You should at least pay yourself a couple bucks for being so nice to yourself.
The way I see it, I'm teaching myself the value of patience which is far more than any amount of money could ever achieve.

...What am I saying? I wish I was rich so I could get people to accomplish mundane tasks while I swim in my room full of money.
