Telltale is creating Back to The Future and Jurassic Park games
With more than five million episodes delivered to date across all major video game platforms, Telltale is the acknowledged leader in digitally delivering episodic content to consumers. The agreement broadens Telltale's product offerings into new genres and new styles of gameplay.
"Our partnership with Universal is an exciting next step in our continued growth as a mass-market games publisher and developer," said Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale Games. "We are all huge fans of both of these franchises. For Back to The Future and Jurassic Park we will leverage Telltale's expertise in story-telling and game design to deliver on the unique elements of each series with our goal being to create compelling cinematic adventures paying homage to each franchise."
Jurassic Park and Back to The Future are two of the most successful film trilogies ever, grossing over $3 billion dollars at the box office collectively.
"Telltale Games has succeeded in establishing a unique combination of digital and physical distribution models, and their reputation for quality production is well earned," said Bill Kispert, Vice President and General Manger, Digital Platforms, Universal Partnerships & Licensing. "Telltale's episodic story-telling is an ideal means by which to add compelling new content to these important franchises."
Look for the first video game based "season" of Back to The Future from Telltale this winter followed shortly by Jurassic Park. Telltale will release more information on both game series at a later date.

Hope the BTTF game is better than the Grand Theft Auto Vice City: Hill Valley mod. I really hope it turns out to be better than that mod. Jurassic Park would be cool as well.

this reminds me of Dino Crisis.
I understand the need to bring back BTTF, they want to milk it once again. From video games to a sequel and an another cartoon series. I don't mind as long as they are excellently written.

i can see a time traveling game being made where you have to travel back in time and correct bad things that have happened in the past, kinda like quantum leap, but i dont think it should be called BACK TO THE FUTURE. i think they'd be hard pressed to create a GOOD videogame based on that property and it's central characters. i just dont see where it's going to go.
jurassic park is a given. man on island trying to outlive dinosaurs. thats easy. typical survival game.

I would like to have seen Rockstar make a Back to the future game with the success of GTA and now R.D.R that style of game would have been perfect for it.
