BACK TO THE FUTURE, JURASSIC PARK games coming
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Telltale games has announced that they're working on a new Back to the Future video game! Get ready to race through time at 88 miles per hour, correct corrupted timelines and avoid sleeping with your mom! And the company also has a new Jurassic Park game in the works! Get ready to do a lot of running and screaming!
Unfortunately, there are reasons to suspect these games won't be the big piles of awesome that they could be. For one thing, Telltale specializes in Myst-style, point-and-click adventure games, and if they decide to stick with that format these new games will be approximately 2% as fun as they could be. For another thing, it sounds like the games won't actually be sequels to the films.
“The games are going to exist within these worlds,” says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “I wouldn’t call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium. For one generation, it’s an introduction to these series. For another generation, it’s a thing they can look back on and something they can share warmly with their family and friends.”
He also hinted the BTTF game will take us to the 1970s. So... Get ready for a point-and-click trip back to the days of the Carter administration. Here's hoping that this "new interpretation" will at least feature a DeLorean. (And let's keep our fingers crossed that the Jurassic Park game will at least feature dinosaurs.)
