Telltale's Back to the Future: This Is What It Looks Like

Or, I guess, more accurately, this is what it could look like. USA Today has the first public concept art and some minor details of Telltale's previously announced Back to the Future episodic adventure game. The biggest reveal is that Christopher Lloyd will be providing the voice of Emmett "Doc" Brown in the game, which kind of implies by omission that Michael J. Fox has not yet signed on to voice the in-game Marty McFly.

Other than that, we've apparently got a plot that's being "worked on" by Bob Gale (who wrote all three original BttF movies), a story that takes place at least partly in 1985 Hill Valley, and the Earth-shattering fact that "additional characters from the movies will crop up in the game."

That's fine as long as there aren't multiple copies of any of these additional characters. If two copies of the same character ran into each other in the game, "the encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe!" But you knew that.

Get a closer look at Marty's rosy cheeks and Doc's zombie-like pallor after the break.
