The International House of Mojo

Hoax? No. I just jumped to the (probably) wrong conclusion that Fox was not playing a McFly in episode 5.

It turns out he's voicing TWO characters in the episode.

I see the edits in the news post. So this was all basically just a hoax!? Drat!

I will update the title shortly.

Okay, this headline has to go now! Of course he will be voicing a McFly (probably William), and we also know by now that he'll voice two characters in this episode. So, Mojo, react! ;)

From the Telltale blog:



So he plays two(!) characters. In the (short) gameplay bit they've shown during that tv broadcast he introduced himself with 'the name's McFly', so I guess that answers that question. I guess he's Arthur McFly's father, the baby McFly Marty meets in Back to the Future III (I can't remember the name, it's been a while since I've seen that movie. It's never been my favorite. There might be some detail in that movie that completely ruins my theory).

Well, I guess I don't know that the stranger-in-the-car ISN'T a McFly. But I'd have assumed the character model would be based on Marty's if he was one.

The model looks more like it's an interpretation of Fox's current look & age, not an extrapolation of the Marty model.

Alfred, my post wasn't intended to be negative - just find it all a bit odd. Happy though, that Fox is (finally) involved.

Personally I'm just curious to see how it ends.
But I'm happy this messed up series ends.
No excitement so far.
Just a wasted opportunity for TT. I hope they learn something from errors, expecially about bugs, gameplay and lenght/difficulty.

I'm definitely not optimist, but waiting to be proven wrong.

Wait, you guys are already disappointed about this cameo? Come on, that's ridiculous. I think we can all guess the reason why Michael wasn't able to voice himself or another important character for the entire season, and having him guest star in the last episode is pretty damn awesome. We haven't really seen anything yet (do they actually say his character isn't a McFly? Does that even really matter?), so we've got no idea how large or well-executed his role in the actual episode will be.

I've seen people around the internet (I'm not only talking about Mixnmojo, you guys aren't that bad) acting like Telltale stole their lunch money by giving MJ Fox this cameo. Some days...

I find it odd that in that clip they say "Hey, we asked MJF if he wanted to be in he game and he said 'yes'".

Uhhh, why didn't ask him before Episode 1 then, when he might well have agreed to a more meaningful cameo?

How do you know he isn't a McFly?

I've mostly enjoyed the games so far. A little easy, but the story has been good.

The saddest thing for me is that I cannot feel any excitement for this or for the game in general.
It's the first time I feel really detached from the Telltale team.
"It's been a great experience". I see where they're coming from, working on such a franchise must be great, but I cannot pretend I'm ok with the results... :-(

I'd have expected most BttF fans to be happy he could even do the cameo.
