Telltale Games are busy at work on video games for Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. The episodic games will be for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC and Mac games and are set to be released this winter.
Andy M (good friend and expert on all things BTTF) put me onto the article on Boston.com.
“‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Back to the Future’ are two of our broadest and most beloved properties,” said Bill Kispert, interactive vice president at Universal Studios. “We were very interested in bringing them into the interactive space, but they’re not exactly the kind of properties that lend themselves to the stereotypical shoot-’em-up style of gameplay.”
Dan Connors, CEO at Telltale Games said the games, which are in the early stages of development, would tell new stories extending the “Back to the Future” and “Jurassic Park” lore. He teased that the “Back to the Future” games may include a DeLorean ride back to the 1970s while the “Jurassic Park” games would be intense and add new backstories to the series’ man-versus-dinosaur mythology.
“The games are going to exist within these worlds,” said 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.”
What do you want to see in a BTTF game?
