[archer9234 20]

0.4 1955, 0.6 1985A, 0.8 2015, 1.0 1885.

0.4 1955, 0.6 1985A, 0.8 2015, 1.0 1885.

sure if thats it

[archer9234 20]

That's the release order.

It would be graceful that in the hill valley of 2015 there was a shop of plutonium. Or not?

Plutonium will still be a dangerous substance in 2015, especially that almost everyone in that time (including kids; remember that kid who fixed the old arcade machine by himself in BTTF2?) are technology geeks, possibly knowledgeable enough to create nuclear bombs by themselves, so it's not possible to have a plutonium shop in 2015.

I dont think we should have plutonium in 2015 and later - just pretend it has run out by then or something, as if all the supplies have gone over the years. I think thats the best option

Didn't he just like plug it in. They only showed him behind it.

In 2015, you will have to convert the DeLorean to Mr. Fusion anyway...

We can't really tell. Arcade machines can be fixed through its back.

But since it is a technologically-advanced era, kids will need more education on electronics/gadgetry for them to be able to handle the now more advanced technology stuff properly (they may need to include this as a major part of the schools' curriculum). Fixing an old arcade machine wouldn't be much of a problem if the kid did have or is having such education.

Hopefully, kids will have to learn what they need.

Not very commonly i actually work with arcade machines all day and have to fix them. I only ever go though the front the back doesnt come off. Ah well just a minor thing, stupid kids started a debate .

I never said commonly fixed at the back. My uncle fixed our arcade machine, which similar to the wild gunman arcade machine in BTTF2, once through its back. That's why I say so.

1985A should go last

[archer9234 20]

Why would it go last? 1985 will be made after 1955.

[daangelo29 5]

If we already have 1985 Hill Valley, 1985A Hill Valley is easy to do, or vice versa.

Not really.... because you have to change the buildings around, especially changing the clocktower to the Biff Tannen Casino/Hotel or whatever.

[archer9234 20]

It would be easier. 1985 would need only texture changes. The only major model changes would be the sell signs and Court House.

[bluespace88 9]

Big bump. I think this needs to be talked about since I myself don't see much if anything in this area. Yes, it's based off the movies. The question is how will the player be involved in the otherwise 2 hour long cutscene. For reference, only talking about the first movie

[The Black Swordsman 1]

You mean like adding things between them? I always liked the small ones like getting to school on time, or someone even suggesting having Doc collect parts for the time machine, etc.

I have a question regarding cut scenes; you guys can't animate the figures to move, mouth and all like in Vice? Thought I'd ask since the ones in BTTF the ride, they're just standing there, and I figured that's pretty much the best you can do since you didn't actually WRITE the game.

[bluespace88 9]

I mean how will the story translate from movie to mod. I'd avoid side missions because those could break the flow and leave fans confused.

[The Black Swordsman 1]

To just come up with like that is kind of hard. We should do a specific "What shall we do for this one part?" one by one. It'll be a whole lot easier to come up with ideas that way.
