Jurassic Park could be fun, but I don't know what they'd do with Back to the Future to make it into an interesting game..

Jurassic Park sounds more interesting. OP, you should add it to the title.

The Crysis mod looks epic. Now they just need the flying mode option :p

As for the game, I do not honestly see how you can turn BttF into a game. Not without inserting lameness into it at any rate.

BTTF is a fairly adventure-ish movie... why can't you make an adventure game out of it a la Sam and Max or maybe something more like the cartoon (which didn't follow the movies, but had their own mini-time-related plots).

Done.

Telltale has managed to successfully reboot two dead franchises and they did a fantastic job at that. I think a BTTF adventure game would work. I can see it being like the cartoon from the early 90s.

There is already a Back to the Future game, it's supposed to be a badass when it comes out:
I hear it's going to suck. :sneaky:

To this day I still haven't completed Jurassic Park on the SNES, which I really liked, it was just too damn hard, additionally the Genesis version was very good, and quite different as well (Genesis version is a side-scroller, SNES has a combination of top bird's eye view with very basic FPS'ish interiors à-la Wolf 3D). But the very best JP game I can remember playing was The Lost World on the original PlayStation (and Warpath, the fighting game, wasn't bad at all, it reminded me of Primal Rage).

I love playing Sam and Max with my 13 yo grandson. (Yea, he can figure it out faster than I can). I could see some good possibilities for Back to the Future. The best part of the Sam and Max is the humor. I could see a lot or humorous/intriguing situations in time travel such as back to the future. Jurrasic park, not sure I would care for it.

As much as I love Back to the Future and the original Jurassic Park, I doubt these will make good games. I wouldn't mind a Jurassic Park theme park builder game though. Complete with Roller Coaster Tycoon style building. I love those games.

Apparently, you can pre-order Episode 1 of Back to the Future (from Telltale) for free:

There's no firm release date, but it should be out this year.

EDIT:

I was poking around the site, and it says the trailer will be premiered on December 2, so I assume the game will come out on or after that date :p.
