Telltale Making Jurassic Park and Back to the Future Titles

Ah, I remember watching Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park years ago. Actually I watched it the other day, and I enjoyed it as much. I also remember playing this game based on Jurassic Park – I think on one of the Sega consoles or or something years ago. Probably a Genesis, which my friend had at one point.

Well, Telltale, makers of the Sam& Max games, are apparently going to work on a Jurassic Park game, which will also be in episodic format, and released on a variety of consoles. This was seen in an issue of Game Informer.

CEO Dan Connors:

"I think it's a prime time to reintroduce these properties in the digital world. Telltale Games has always set out to be a great storytelling company. We've been honing our chops over the past six years, and we're ready to take on these two iconic properties and continue to advance storytelling in games."

"The games are going to exist within these worlds. 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."

And in addition to that, it’s been said that the company will also be doing something similar for a little sci-fi series called Back to the Future – something that Spielberg also had something to do with {he was the producer of the series]. And I’ll say that past games based on both series have been pretty bad – particularly BTTF.

Information on these games is yet to be released, but it is known that they will appear on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC and Mac.
