>>526357218>Life is Strange(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don't Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy photography student who discovers she can rewind time and perhaps more pressingly, that she is hella gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reconnection with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their relationship becomes the game’s emotional core as they search for the truth behind the disappearance of Rachel Amber. What starts as a teenage reunion becomes a haunting, queer exploration of grief, love, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can’t live without.

>Lost Records: Bloom & Rage(LR: B&R) - A spiritual successor to the original LiS, made by Don't Nod (DN). Set in Velvet Cove during the summer of 1995, it follows Swann Holloway and her misfit friends: Nora, Autumn, and Kat. They form a band, hang out, and navigate the complexity of being gay. But something dark shatters their innocence and 27 years later, they reunite to confront the past. It’s nostalgic, aching, and supernaturally sapphic in all the best ways.

>>527074770Not gonna lie, 'DE2 releases' got a chuckle out of me.
>>527074715they left out our game again...
>>527075310Either they'll relase it, or it ends up like Just Cause 5 canned mid development in 2025 with the only mention being a Linkedin notification.
>>527075659Option 2 seems way more likely.
>>527077559I like her. She reminds me of a combination of Chloe and Steph. Best character in the game no question.
>>527076053Correction, JC5 was canned in 2023, but the point still stands. DE2 can be canned tomorrow and nothing of value will be lost anyway.

What are you waiting for? JUMP ON IN!!!
At some point we might get news about the live action adaptation of LiS, since the producer claimed it wasn't abandoned. Do you think we'll finally get an answer on how they are going to settle that up for the tv screen? Will they follow the example of the TloU show?

>>527078307Chloe without the trauma, with some elements of Steph is basically how I thought of her also.
She is just amazing. Both as an individual character and in terms of her romance path.

>>527081462Damnatio Memoriae all the way baby
>>527081462>>527081595Damnatio Memoriae has been in effect on lisg for years. Simply expanding it by one is no big deal.
>>527081971IMO I would remove the Remastered and put back LiS2 into it. Might not be the sequel we hoped for, but arguably is the sequel we deserved to have compared to DE.
>>527082365I think there is enough of a difference between base LiS and remastered to justify its inclusion.
The decision was made years ago that LiS 2 should not be included; Both to avoid shitposting and some of its more intolerable fans. I see no reason to revisit this.
>>527082752>I think there is enough of a difference between base LiS and remastered to justify its inclusion.I just don't see that to be honest, the story is the same but the artstyle is messier and the face animations aren't necessarily that big of an improvement compared to TC for example.
>>527083165I agree things are more messy. But these days 95% of the bugs have been fixed and some of the stuff it does with lighting is nice.
People can have a preference for one or the other, so I think it makes sense to include both options.
Also, the remaster includes BtS, so I think it is probably the better option for someone new to the series.
>>527083393I need her cardigan.
I'm shocked they did not have it out as merch already. Fingers crossed that someone on etzy will make a few.
>>527083414>some of the stuff it does with lighting is niceNah, the faces of Max and Chloe just are too much derpy in certain moments, and to be fair having BtS included into the remasters is still an issue since that game is a prelude of the lack of narrative consistency with dontnod as a whole
>>527081595Now take a good look at this general during the times you’re gone, clown. No one, literally no one posts that joke of a character. That’s what real Damnatio Memoriae looks like
>>527082365You get what you really deserve, shipper. Keep crying, we thrive on your tears
>>527084747Michelbros... how did we end up creating characters this disposable?
>>527082752I'm in 2 minds about 2.
Time has certainly softened the general consensus of it here. That and it's no longer the Black Sheep. Include it in OP? Maybe now, but I don't see an issue when it does pop up.
>>527084747>No one, literally no one posts that joke of a character>last thread had Kat Wh so mad? Is it because of DE is being called for the shit it actually is?
>>527085331happens every time someone tries to force 'soul' into something
>>527088326It's forced in everything these days
The idea of Kat not having a soul or being a compelling character is fucking ridicolous, and it can only come from the two usual DEtards that spam the threads since that game came out.
The kitchen story guy was asked again about the LiS TV series and his reply (may 25) was :
"Sooooooon…just a liiiiittle more patience!"
>>527092806Screencap for those so inclined. The Dmitri dude has a decent-ish track record for videogame adaptations. He helped correct the Sonic disaster with ugly Sonic etc. Live action show coming is probably the main reason Square hasn't completely given up on LiS. They want some of that TloU or Fallout prestige I'm guessing.
>>527074715I don't know who.
But that was a quote. Someone admitted gooning to Nora.
And I seriously doubt that it was supposed to be a joke
>>527119143sick people, i tell you
>>527112530That's at least something, but who shuld be even be the showrunner of the series? Who is the writing team? Lots of incognita that haven't evenbmade clear at all, and that can make or break the TV show
>>527121370Souless character
Come on /lisg/, on 3! 1, 2, 3! Moses has hypothermia!
Watching the interviews with Olivia and Amelia really show you how different they are.
Amelia comes off as a lot more professional and well spoken, and Olivia seems a lot more looser, in the moment and generally more awkward.
>>527112530>Square hasn't completely given up on LiSread their pride tiktok comment
>Our games always have and will continue to tell stories about queer characters. If that’s not for you, you know where the door is.> and will continue to tell stories about queer charactersTHEY MUST'VE GIVEN UP ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe they'll just do a livestream for ep5 anniversary and announce the tv show and a game (sequel or remake, your guess).
>>527136631Said by the same executives that think LiS shouldn't be known as "the gay game", make everything in their power to make someone a repulsive Vinh a straight romantic option and hide it from marketing because they then realize how much of a turd it is.
But even if they haven't given up, their marketing is all over the place and incosistent is hard to even take into consideration as they didn't even advertise the deluxe edition of the comic. Like they want to get rid of Chloe yet the live action will have a LiS1 adaptation so Chloe has to be on the spotlight again, and everything we have learned so far is that both Square and D9 are the most short sighted motherfuckers ever.
>>527137039It could be possible, but also they will have to deal with the DE aftermath, a game that has essentially killed a good chunk of fandom interest for future entries. And the only thing we know so far about the show is about the involvment of Milla Jovovich's nepo baby. Who's supposed to play Chloe? What about David? Kate? Victoria? Joyce? Rachel even?
>>527137675they'll obviously trim some of the fat with some subplots and maybe even merge them and some characters, introduce OCs or include characters from the other games to streamline it for the majority. I expect something stupid like Steph mentioning she met this asian girl on the show's equivalence to tumblr
>>527138630The thing that scares me the most is who's going to be showrunner or the writers. Are they going to tackle that to the same people that wrote Riverdale or 13 Reasons Why? Is Square going to be that pushy even on the production as well? I really do not see the series being that large interest for audiences alike and it will be inevitably shat on by dozens of chud grifters once it comes out.
>>527139437well it's going to be on Amazon Prime (supposedly) so it could go either way. The production company isn't so bad but you never know with these things.
>it will be inevitably shat on by dozens of chud grifters once it comes out.don't care

🔍
Why didn't Daniel's and Alex's powers create a storm or something like a minor Dahaka?
>>527147714Because the writers were hacks and wanted to show how much better they got the ending of LiS1 by making the final choice irrelevant for their own special OC
watch them do a LiS1 full remake with the voices of the actors from the tv show
>>527137675shove in a pricefield episode in next game & keno with her sheep herd will come back begging for more
>>527147714safi's powers created a storm because the d9 narrative team had to copy everything from lis 1 trying to find out what was the lighting in the bottle (ep1 - power intro/power intro, ep2 - freeze time/entangle ep3 - focus/focus, ep4- party vortex/abraxas, ep5 - storm/storm, DE ripped off a fuckton more)
>>527152175That's exactly how it's gonna be. These people are obviously dumb. But it won't really help anyway, because there aren't many of them, and their loyalty won't drastically change the sales numbers.
Square needs something bigger
>>527152327>safi's powers created a stormAdnan-level brainpower
>>527154972We really did not miss you, anon. Your wacky ass thoughts have as much ground as a wet fart.
>>527152327I think both Max and Safi created it or at least unknowingly willed it to existence; maybe some stupid theory shit like an Evil Max (maybe the one in the polaroid) hijacking OG Max's timeline making it split. But, of course D9 will never explain why there was another storm and just added it in as a callback to make it a sequel as you said. Also the horrible nightmare sequence for Max to face her traumas (the motel scenes were okay desu) to boot. Awful.
>>527157683Isn't this just a time storm caused by merging timelines? It's even colored in the shades of both timelines.
>>527158736Well, it doesn't really matter because there's zero consequences to the timeline merging to the point it feels like a mockery of the original storm in LiS1
>>527158736it does have the colors of both but they're not really indicative of its origins; the game never explains it properly. The photo Max travels to (Dead World or a variation of it) has no indication that there's a storm, it just sort of appears and the Safi in that photo alludes to already experiencing the same storm or many storms. Which leads me to believe there's some other force at work, maybe linked to whatever happened to Alderman which disappointingly led to nowhere.
>>527160181All of this doesn't matter anyway and it's so poorly done compared to the previous games it shouldn't even be taken into consideration for any future entry in the series.
>>527160181To be fair, the storm in the first game wasn’t really explained either, which left room for interpretations later on.
As for Aldreman, datamine-anons have already shared what was cut from Ep. 5 with him. The only thing I still don’t get is whether she could actually save him in the end or just interact with him one more time.
>>527163816>To be fair, the storm in the first game wasn’t really explained either, which left room for interpretations later on.Agreed but it feels like Max and Safi are more implicit with its existence. Maybe more so Max since entering the storm involved everyone in her trauma and memories.
>AldermanThe one where he's supposedly trapped in the nightmare sequence? Would have been interesting but man, they could've done so much more with him. Aside from the Timecop reference, I don't think he's really dead. I vibe with that idea of him displaced in time/trapped in a time prison, until he's properly restored. Maybe they'll revisit that concept in future titles if the franchise survives long enough; double down on the stupid shit with the casualties of Bay/Bae in stasis until Max restores one timeline/merges the timelines kind of like in Paper Girls
>>527165652Nice idea, but you know for a fact they are not going to carry over much of what DE barely set up due to the whole writing team being kicked out and any sequel being heavily rewritten.
>>527166797Unfortunately that is the case atm. If there is no sequel for a while, would people be receptive to the idea of another side-game like True Colors? It being entirely its own thing and not a stepping stone to DE2 and the awful x-men/heroes thing
>>527166797Ahaha, dream on!
The more we find out, the clearer it becomes that most of these ideas didn’t actually come from the D9 writing team but rather from the direct staff at SE London. You already know the opinions of those who attended the focus groups. So no heavy rewrites, and you'll see your summer Caledon in the sequel, just as originally planned
>>527168750You are talking out of your ass anon, and of course you have zero evidence to prove otherwise since I doubt you attended any focus group as well
>>527167903They could have done that between TC and DE but always kept Deck Nine rather than a second studio
>>527169496true, I guess all of SE's concerted effort is being poured into Powerwash Simulator 2 lmao
>>527169350What evidence are you even talking about, idiot? Literally in the last thread, people posted opinions from former Deck's devs, confirming where all the ideas came from and how it all went down. Summer Caledon? Again, in the last thread, anon explained how to open the summer version of the location using UUU. Maybe take your head out of your ass once in a while
>>527170865oh wait silly me, they're not involved with that at all. oh well
>>527170865Powerwash Simulator 2 isn't even published by Square, the devs own their IP and they will self publish the game lmao
>>527170921I was in that past thread, no past dev said anything about summer Caledon and that anon was just speculating, as all they did was just remove the car from the snow mesh. You are still talkinh shit out of your ass and making a fool out of yourself.
>>527171381Let's see what's cooking with Square London:
>Just Cause 5 cancelled two years ago and they did nothing with it >Tomb Raider and Deus Ex have been sold despite being million dollars IPs>LiS is in the shitter because of DE and it flopped so hard all the devs were fired>Powerwash Simulator is a huge success but they dont even own the IP so the devs can do whatever they want with it>Killer Inn is likely DoAHow the Japanese division even let those morons handle their western IPs and fail so hard is beyond me
>>527172370Ah, forgot about People Can Fly:
>Outriders is a flop and the next project is cancelled with the CEO calling Square morons with the way they handled communications with them
>>527171559You're unbelievably dumb. Of course, they wouldn’t say anything like that. But what they did say is that firing the entire Deck's writing team in wouldn't affect anything at all, because they weren’t the ones pulling the strings
>>527172870>But what they did say is that firing the entire Deck's writing team in wouldn't affect anything at all, because they weren’t the ones pulling the stringsCould you give a proper source for that? Because it does seems that D9 pitched the ideas for DE at the start to Square as ladydev said.
>>527172370Still a shame JC5 was cancelled, not that 4 was any good. Selling off Hitman was really retarded and they really took a blow with that avengers game
>>527173304nta,
all i could find in the previous thread
'The publisher changed their minds so frequently about the game that almost all of us ended up completely redoing work we thought was locked down.
But in the end, it was like trying to build a house while getting new blueprints every day.'
>>527175441gotta love The Corester
>>527175225Thats one of the D9 reviews from Glassdoor right? It only shows thar Square is a hypercontrolling freak and they really have no idea on what to do
no makeup max owes me make out
>>527176334not yet ready to thrash shaka brah
>>527175225The overall story is on D9 while SE was asking for many changes. Like turning Loretta into a puppy or having a male romance.
Then again, SE supposedly asked to cut the game in two, so more changes.
And when you change a dialogue in ep4 or 5, you got to go back and try to match everything with the new thing, so even more work.
The ending doesn't know where it wants to go either.
The entire project is a mess by SE and D9.
It happens all the time.
Publisher wants to reach a new audience and asks for specific curated content (and DE feels like a checklist).
The game is not what the core fanbase wants (in DE's case, the story, the mood, the accent on powers and the Chloe thing).
The game is not good enough to attract that new audience.
It fails. There is no real interest for the new settings. A direct sequel would be foolish.
>>527179375Basically, this. You can argue til the cows come home about whether the Chloe situation was D9 or SE's fault, but what was categorically on the devs is that Max feels awkwardly shoved into the game with ill-explained powers meant to justify a gimmick that never quite pays off.
>>527179375Not exactly. The original pitches were a joint effort between the narratives. On the D9 side, it’s pretty clear who was involved, but those people are no longer there. As for SE, everyone except one person is still around.
>>527147714>daniel's power>throwing rocks>alex's power>getting sad, and occasionally angry>max's power>manipulating the entire known universeAbsurd how OP Max was in hindsight.
>>527182657I think theoretically, Daniel could lift up entire continents given enough time and practice. Alex's power could possibly evolve to her sucking out your life force she already does with her thighs maybe even mind control. But that's just stupid wishful power creep thinking.
>>527157683that focus ep3 scene is way too different & max has alderman's gun, kinda makes you wonder if that was originally what they wanted to do with ep5 but had to rewrite shit for ep4 & ep5
>>527185816(self reply but I forgot to mention it)
Diamond's actress complained on Adnan's podcast too that they reshot so many scenes, she has no idea what was cut or not. The entire experience for her was overwhelming because it kept changing heavily.
>>527186239And she even claimed the post credit cliffhanger was a last day shooting addition that she was surprised to learn with Safi's actress.
>>527186572when free cam anon gets the chance, check out post-credits scene with no UI & move the cam to see an extended animation that was cut from the ending (it still happens, but its off screen/blocked by "Max Caulfield will return" UI)
>>527185816Oh yeah, that gun just kind of disappears from the game right? I can't remember if it was brought up again
>>527186239Maybe more scenes related to her Abraxas campaign? That sub-plot was literally added nothing to the game except to reveal that Safi's really dumb when utilizing her powers.
>>527186572I have to imagine that past a point, their daily shooting scripts were just borderline illegible scribbles on napkins, handed to them by representatives from Square.
>>527186821Alderman's gun has a moment when its being focused during the "Blip"/pretzel sequence, but it completely disappears afterwards. I guess originally Max kept the gun or had a major choice to keep it/throw it away (d9 knew what they were doing by giving Max gloves - no fingerprints).
>>527186846still sad ladydev heart didn't drop another ign article exposing at least the severity of cut content DE had, but SE did threaten enough Baqir for showing the maze... makes you wonder if that wonderfuckery will show up in DE2 now...
Dean, these dykes have lost their composure.
>>527187136>I guess originally Max kept the gun or had a major choice to keep it/throw it away (d9 knew what they were doing by giving Max gloves - no fingerprints).Hmmm would've been nice to see what could've been. Probably an actual choice to kill Safi with the gun or maybe just the same but it's the gun Safi uses instead if the whole Lucas thing didn't pan out. Idk, I think it would've been better if the former situation was always an inevitable but it would be out of character for Max or that Safi was just posing as Max in the photo and the fact that Max could warp into it would be a major twist.
>>527073000Amanda sure likes men
>>527190143Regardless of how you spin it, its another sign of the convoluted writing of DE mixed with poor planning and impositions from above that ultimately fucked over the whole project. Oh well, can't wait for the next one to fold itself like a pretzel when D9 inevitably undergoes the same fate as People Can Fly.
>>527190532Based lesbians getting dick fetishist
>>527187357I think you are giving the devs behind DE far too much credit.
Ideas that never materialized into anything are really not worth focusing on. You should be focusing on what we actually got and why things ended up the way they did.
The real story with DE seems to be the combination of Square constantly fucking with things and nobody left at DE giving a shit about LiS.
>>527190745Pretty based.
>>527186572the original post credit scene was with her and Reggie instead
>>527191286that scene was never dubbed/translated according to the subtitle files, so it got cut before 2024 I assume
>>527190990why do u think ep3 is called spin? wonder who spins in that episode (this ruined it for me)
>>527190990tard wrangling SE is an insurmountable task. it's so tiresome
>>527191848Just because the audio files aren’t in the game doesn’t mean it was never voiced. This time audio files show hardly anything got cut, honestly. Props to them
>>527073000>527073000Based trips
>>527193194there was no subs other than EN ones, I didn't mention anything about VO
Well, this explains why DE sucked donkey balls.
>>527194003>and see workers as people rather than inconveniencesBut I thought Deck Nine were progressive, look at how many rainbow flags they have there!
holy shit ds9trek and Emerald_Green are the biggest tools on reddit, they literally read and repeat whatever shit gets written here. Really makes cada and Mazuu look like high IQs

More signs that the LiS Live Action is still brewing. In a recent article about the Production Company (Storykitchen, formerly dj2) it lists Life is Strange as an active project alongside what they're doing with Sonic and Tomb Raider.
Link to article and screencap. https://prod.filminfinland.com/en/news/2025/story-kitchen
>>527196517Wasn't that tomb raider live action series cancelled or something?
I wish there was a pose mode in LR
I HATE THAT STOOPID UUU PROGRAM.
>>527194389>>527195040ds9trek is a balding uncle from UK, his leftist twitter is really something.
Emeralds_are_green - that's full-on insane, nothing more to say, really.
Mazzu's got the brains of a rock but thinks he's a genius, you could feed him literally anything and he'd buy it. still funny watching him puzzle over the crap we fed him months ago.
Cada never disappoints.
>>527196807There are conflicting reports. Story Kitchen and the Dmitri dude did the animated show for Netflix (which is decently faithful to the character, apparently?). The live-action is in limbo with some saying its scrapped and some saying its moving. https://filmstories.co.uk/news/tomb-raider-hang-on-the-amazon-series-may-yet-be-alive/
>>527196517Adding that when revamping their website, dj2 fucked up and temporarily spilled their description of the LiS show that was only meant for the industry insider portion of their site. They locked it down quickly but it's still available on Wayback Machine.
Semi-hopeful that they list the tone as 'grounded' rather than some campy Riverdale shlock-fest. But I'll reserve judgment until an actual trailer.
>>527196517The first attempt at a LiS tv show was technically 'alive' for years without being actively worked on and ended up being quietly canceled.
I think this attempt at a show will remain in development hell until DE 2 comes out and will then just be canceled.
Still a solid chance that we could get a decent Lost Records series however.
>>527197756Like you I'm also wondering if it will ever leave development Hell. The one constant though, from the very beginning was dj2 and that Dmitri guy. Back when Legendary was involved and they were thinking of including Sean Mendes (ugh) dj2 was the one with the rights to adapt it. So he's been there from the start.
That dude said it was the same experience with Sonic. Took him 10 years and multiple shifting teams for it to finally be released. LiS will likely have taken a similar extended journey rotating through potential producers and creatives. But whether its actually worth the wait remains to be seen if it sees the light of day.
So, if the LR girls were in Silent Hill, what would their version of things look like?
>>527197254Cada might be a retard but you aren't much better by being transphobic morons. Why the fuck are you even LiS fans in the first place, given the franchise?
>>527194389>>527197254Same fagging and you are on 4chan. No one takes you seriously.

>>527199040>So, if the LR girls were in Silent Hill, what would their version of things look like?Hard to say, since we only really get to know Nora, Autumn and Kat through Swann.
My guesses:
>KatProbably hospital imagery focused, sterile rooms and sharp objects. I imagine she would also have some pyramid-head like antagonist; A rage monster inspired by Corey.
An experience most like: SH 2.
>NoraHarder to say. I think her main problem is her father and step mother? Maybe lots of darkness from a fear of being alone.
An experience most like: SH 3.
>AutumnPeople laughing and having fun?
An experience most like: SH 4.
>SwannLike with Nora, the idea of being alone seems to really get to Swann. Not really something that I think lends itself to a Silent Hill experience.
But it would have lots of unsubtle vaginal symbolism
An experience most like: Shattered Memories.
>>527200471It’s just one lonely person with nothing better to do. No true fan of Life Is Strange would be transphobic, yet the franchise keeps attracting people who’ve clearly missed its entire point. Only the gods know why they waste their time here. It’s basically self-torture and the perfect example of a life gone to waste. Just ignore him, everyone else in his life does.
>>527200883>the idea of being alone seems to really get to Swann.She seems to live a fairly solitary life in 2023 though.
>>527201041>No true fan of Life Is Strange would be transphobicSo true
>>527201337All of the girls in '22 seem sad in their own ways.
Swann is more comfortable with being alone in '22 then she is in '95. But you can tell that when she is showing off her holiday picture, being alone is something that still gets to her.
>>527195182Keno moved on. Sick of the series. Give it a few years and most people will be gone. Fucking DE.
>>527195040Delusions of grandeur. Literally nothing from 4chan is taken seriously outside of here. Modern /lisg/ is a complete joke, full of trolls and weirdos. We had a brief period when people shared the sound files, but ever since it’s been nothing but trolls, almost all new stuff posted here comes from fucking Adnan. In conclusion kill yourself and make the world a better place
>>527201337She's never been that social, even entertaining the idea of being off the grid as she mentions, but she "bloomed" during that summer and it was cut short after that night. She closed off a part of herself as a result and she kind of lives an ostensibly unfulfilled life; she gives up her passion for filmmaking, swore off children etc. We don't really know how antisocial and reticent she was as a young adult and how she maybe got over it a little in her late 30's - 40's. She could've been so much more, the rest of the girls as well. They really carried that weight for nearly 3 decades

>>527202740Oh man, you couldn’t be more wrong right now, my dude. Literally everything you’re all discussing comes from here
>>527203623All of the girls being unhappy as adults is something the game repeatedly hammers home.
I consider it a bigger sequel hook then the abyss stuff at the end and the reason why I think time travel or altering timelines is going to be involved in B&R 2.
Mark my words that B&R 2 will be about attempting to 'fix' everything that went wrong. Up to and including Kat's cancer.
We will get a happy Snora ending.
>>527203771I see one guy actually pointing out a troll and the others falling for it kek
>>527203771Hydra does not come from here. The rest they got from Cada, not here. She probably made it all up. And those gullible people aren't the best example of anything. But I'm guessing they are still better than you anon.
>>527204052I like the idea of the girls fixing things but at the same time, I don't want them to just "hand-wave" away the consequences of their actions. They just came to terms with the events of that summer, they're living their lives (seemingly unhappy but still) and even have children. I don't believe for a second that Autumn and Nora would alter things so that they would lose them/trade them for a better life. Swann probably could but it'd be selfish of her. Maybe a choice to alter the world or not. Unless they go with Swann actually finding Kat and they just stay in The Abyss. Which would kind of suck since I do want Swann and Nora to end up together too. Maybe that would play a big part in subsequent stories too; you can't run away from consequences of your sacrifice/gift/trade to The Abyss. A little similar to LiS 1 but it's quite fitting.
>>527204052>'fix' everything that went wrong. Up to and including Kat's cancer.Apricot seeds is a good way to cure the cancer.
>>527206153I don't think we will get some uncomplicated happy ending for all of the girls. DN just does not seem to like those sorts of pat endings.
What I think we will get is something closer to bay/bae. Something that allows say Nora/Swann to be together, but at a cost.
Swann having to choose between being with Nora or Kat surviving.
All four girls surviving and not forgetting each other, but Swann having to accept that she cannot also be with Nora.
That sort of thing.

>>527209579Keno argues against pricefielders sometimes. on reddit she is arguing it's only fair to film both endings and isn't pro pricefield ending only. I've seen her believe platonic Bae should also have a love interest. She's a bit different than other pricefielders
>>527218132Doesn't matter. She's a Max hater.
>>527218132>platonic BaeThat is more depressing then Bay.
It also seems like it would really screw with the narrative of LiS 1. Especially if you then had this other love interest tacked on.
Regardless of what ending you prefer, they both work so much better if you assume that Max and Chloe are madly in love with each other.

And I wouldn't call American Conservatives intelligent, but that's a different conversation
>>527197621What if they are going to loosely adapt the game rather than to follow a specific set of storylines? Think about it, LiS1 is notorious for being a story based game with different outcomes and two endings that have pretty much 50/50 and a lot of discussions still around. If I was in the Dmitri dude shoes, my biggest bet would be to change the story in a way that's completely origina to the tv show and even give it an "new" ending that's not the one from the games.
>>527203771Your proof is one person calling out trolling and two others referring to rumor. You just get dumber and dumber. Kill yourself. Nothing of value would be lost.
>>527249338>Average intelligent personAlready disqualifying yourself since you argue in the same manner as the average /pol/tard
>>527207795I love this, so they all pathfind on their own???? pls record them with Swann's cam & upload
>>527250184Most adaptations aren't 1:1 anyway, the show will definitely veer away from some subplots. They will have to change the ending if they want to milk it for a few seasons and possibly connect it to the other games
>>527257713How do you think they will streamline the game? If they had to announce it, they'll have to make clear from the start about the choice based and two endings nature of the original game doesn't work unless they are going for a Bandersnatch approach.
>>527258020Supposedly, it's going to be on Amazon Prime. They don't really do those interactive shows unlike Netflix afaik so expect the show to be a linear story, unless they change streaming services later on.
>How do you think they will streamline the gameAnything goes really, since we don't know their intentions as of yet. Will they stay true to the game's time period or make it more recent? A lot of the idiosyncrasies of that time will be lost to a new audience and that'll make the show struggle in appeal; making it contemporary will erase its essence. Of course die hard fans will appreciate the consistency and attention to detail but that could only go so far; they're not making the show for them but for a much broader audience. Will they remove characters or merge them? Will they add their own subplots or refer to current events to tell a story? Depending on the episode count, they can remove stuff and maybe even restore cut content if they so choose; anything to make it their own. Hell, look at the Sonic movies they did.
>>527261582Yeah, but the Dmitri guy still has to find the right showrunners and writers for the show, and even if we assume he has done his research and want the LiS show to be respectful of the source material, he would still have to deal with Square's dumbassery
>>527264259>still have to deal with Square's dumbasseryYeah, definitely that's a major factor. SE looming over their heads makes you feel it's doomed from the start. It's gonna be an uphill battle with them, won't be surprised if they get ousted from the project and the show sinks deeper into development hell

"“We make it a point to try to find opportunities for storytelling that is not a one-to-one, because otherwise why exist?” Johnson says. “Part of why you love Life Is Strange, part of why you love Disco Elysium [and] It Takes Two is they are to some degree narratively driven and have very strong story structure. So it’s looking at how do we adapt this in a way that even if you’re the biggest fan of this game, it still feels like a fresh story to you.” Johnson continues, “We want fans to feel like their experience in the game was real and counted … but we also want them to feel like they can come and enjoy the series or the movie and have that be its own separate experience that has shared DNA.”

>>527394348Best case scenario: you play as her
Worst case: She's just a cameo in the ending if Kat gets rescued
We keep circling around this discussion lol but imo, since they're not moving the narrative away from Velvet Cove yet iirc, she'll definitely be featured in some capacity. I'm still under the impression that The Abyss and VC are one; unless the devs decide to explore the idea of the mines around Keweenaw County as potential abyss locations. I think there was another abyss in one of Swann's research
Why can't they just make a Bonnie and Clyde story with Chloe and Max
Fuck every Lisg after the first
>>527394850I think the next game will have new locations and places we haven't seen in Velvet Cove, and it does seem like the Abyss and everything else seems designed to be a recurring main zone as opposed to how Arcadia Bay was set up in LiS1.

>>527399493I like the idea, but we still have to see how they are going to plan out the Abyss going foward. They made it clear that it seemingly set into a singular location of Velvet Cove and the surrounding woods so that they can repurpose assets from previous games in a cohesive manner. Is there even another access to the Abyss that what we know so far?

>>527399716>Is there even another access to the Abyss that what we know so far?Only this one as I mentioned earlier, at least it's alluded to being a possible abyss location. It does mention many sinkholes around Michigan. There's also the "Collected Tales of The Whispering Woods" book that Swann and Pam read, there could be something there. The ARG has reports of people just disappearing in the woods nowhere near the clearing, there's also the missing miners and the Gil guy so there's definitely different entities present and not just The Abyss. I do hope they expand on that
>>527400629I really would like for Michel to at least make things clear if the Abyss is going to be stuck within the zone of Velvet Cove or new small towns are going to be involved.

Any hypothetical sequel will require Max to be single at the start, because being with Amanda is unironically just sexual assault and exploitation so she needs to be written out just morally speaking, and it's not fair to take away just one love interest, so Vinh's gone too.

>>527421414the Steph dlc is probably the best thing about True Colors, it filters out a lot of the shitters because they think its too boring and cannot enjoy true slice of life
>>527437113Ultimately, the Steph DLC is kinda mid and its a waste of potential that could have been used better.
>>527437340If it were one of, like, four DLCs where we got similar experiences as Ryan, Gabe, and Riley I think it would help the game a ton. Unfortunately covid got in the way of letting there be more inter-person interaction in them. But for what it was it gave an extra window into Steph's feelings in the game and let us see more of her growth that had to be inferred from the short main plot.
How was square London so retarded as to push DE the marketing team knew it was a flop and had to market it in a way to conceal the mess with Chloe. How did London ever think this would do anything but destroy them? They had just done an ice cream pricefield collaboration
>>527419797I've said it multiple times already: Amanda, Riley, and Lyla are the best waifus of the franchise. Unfortunately, only one of them is a proper love interest. Luckily, that love interest is for Max
The so blatant desperation of the amandanon is so funny to watch, and it does all of that to own us, who has supported this franchise for years at that point. Yet outside of him and few ones, barely anyone cares about Amanda, no new fanarts, no massive fanfictions, no real fandom interest. But hey, at least we are glad Lost Records is there, showing how it's done.
>>527441310funny though that after the pedo-poster's gone, we have more amanda posts than ones with that joke of a character

as for lr, this just proves how clueless you are. what you call a 'win' is actually a total joke, because outside of the seething pricefielders, nobody gives a shit about this game, and among all that retarded fanart and fanfics, you won't find a single person who wasn't already drawing or writing pricefield shit before. lr completely failed to attract any new audience whatsoever. it flopped.

>>527445956lol
no thanks. even the seething pricefields, who tried to hype it up just to spite de, didn’t care for this knockoff for the most part
>>527446878Oh, you are backing off now? I think you are the one seething, not us. Projection at its finest form.
I think the funniest thing from all this is the no Chloe no baying meme. It really exploded in the Fandom and that image of Max with the camera brings it all back. At the time I figured Chloe had to be in the game and they were hiding Chloe intentionally for hype because the entire six months of de was fans obsessively talking about Chloe. On discord and reddit and Twitter I saw people getting annoyed because all anybody talked about was Chloe.
It's truly insane SE London didn't predict that. Max was the star of lis1 yes but Chloe was a lead too and she starred in bts. And this game was set in the future so naturally fans expected to see the girls together.
It's just hard to process how this happened. We say that over and over but it's hard to work out. It's a self inflicted gun shot wound then they did with a smile on their faces. On social media they went from days before seeking out Pricefield cosplayers to show off to treating Chloe like she didn't exist for almost a year before sheepishly posting her and getting attacked and now they don't even bother on Twitter anymore
It's like obviously this would happen. How was SE London pushing d9 to make things worse and worse by removing more references to Chloe *according to ladydev* and removing her from the game entirely this is another level of incompetence it's actually deranged. They were full speeding ahead with a game everyone would hate
>>527447356you're either an illiterate moron or the same age as those props you keep posting
>>527447669>how this happenedjesus, you all really can’t grasp the obvious. since 2019 they’ve been living in a completely different reality. a reality where she didn’t exist anymore
>she starred in btsthis game sold seven times less than the previous one. so beint the lead in that game is hardly an achievement. plus, she personally never really had a high favorability rating to begin with
>>527447669The more I think about it the more I come to agree with Adnan that DE wasn't just a cashgrab but also it actively hurt the whole LiS brand in more ways that one. And that's why I think to even proceed with a sequel game to DE would be a definitive death nail to the franchise, that or the TV show if it turns out to be shit.
>>527448753>she personally never really had a high favorability rating to begin withThat tends to happen when you poll people who never played your game and got their opinions from LPers and streamers who HATED your game.
Somehow these idiots thought the only thing keeping this "untapped market" at bay was Chloe, and not that they as a rule dismiss the entire genre your franchise inhabits as politically opposed to them.
>>527448753>she personally never really had a high favorability rating to begin withSource: it came to me in a dream
But hey, we didn't miss you, retarded Chloe hater that pretend to be smarter than you actually are. Your deranged rants were supposed to stay in the past, rather than keep popping out.
>>527439949And... you have really nice hands?
>>527449067They claims she never had a high favorability rating but never post any sources to corroborate their claims.
The Chloe hater still talking about sales numbers he doesn't have.
He needs help, it's unsettling.
>>527448753But here's the deal that's not true. Because they were posting Choe. Cause of the comics. And in 2024 they even had an ice cream start of the year where they made pricefield merchandise
For some reason they were aware of fans wanting Max and Chloe enough to use them for money (pricefield comics are only comics that sold enough to keep going and going for six volumes versus no one caring about the other stuff much)
They were actively aware while actively making a game without her while a comif was selling about Max AND Chloe
This game wasn't even a true crash crab because there wasn't even fan service if we are honest other than Max and dad jokes. They didn't give anything else for fan service. It's the most pathetic cash crab I've ever seen because they actively try and lose money. They literally ensured half the audience would hate it on the jump. It doesn't make sense
This feels like a higher up tried to sink things on purpose. Didn't they name the woman they said was responsible some of the devs?
>>527449469Step out of the bubble and read the comments outside the usual Pricefield hangouts
>>527450006From people who don't play the games
>>527450006I did, a large majority of the people you are referring to are folks who would never touch or engage with a LiS game in a consistent manner past the first game. They were never going to make laps of joy at Max returning back, and to pretend otherwise is to be a tool.
>>527450003This was a very recent post in which the official account was asking for new artworks trying to engage with the fandom post DE.
>>527450006BTS 33k reviews on steam and 93% favorable review.
Not even 95%, people really hates her.
>>527451237>i treated her like shit the whole game and they dared to ask me I wanted to kill a whole town>I just fucking killed her and was happy that didn't have to see that character again>It's crazy to me that this game was considered "good"You are just proving my point, all the people you posted never engaged beyond superficial attributes to Life is Strange, and none of them really would make leaps of joy for a LiS1 direct sequel starring Max again. Deeply unserious behaviour from your side.
>>527451473Again, they are loud but ultimately outnumbered by that poll who had Chloe being the majority choice, second being Warren heavily outnumbering both Vinh and Amanda. Those people are loud, but they do not represent the general audience of a LiS game.
>>527451237>>527451473Vapid, pointless yappers.
They are not fans.
>>527452264This, it's not that hard to point that out.
>>527451767>all the people you posted never engaged beyond superficial attributes to Life is Strange>>527452264They are not fans.
It doesn't matter. These are the people who actually buy games. Every LiS game except the first one failed to attract them and either sold badly or straight-up flopped. LR did it for the same reason. And surprise! These people also take surveys and go to focus groups. That’s where the low favorability rating comes from
>>527452264People who characterize their engagement with a game as vindictively and overbearingly hating on one of the main characters aren't usually who you'd call "fans", at least not ones with genuine criticism to provide.

>>527454032Because those are the people who buy games that aren't narrative Telltale-style adventures, think of it as your usual RPG, your Ubisoft open world, your yearly Call of Duty... LiS is a niche series that has past its glory days and has just received a massive brand damage, those people are the first ones to not care about what's going to happen with the series going foward.
>>527454309Souless, thank god we have Nora Malakian to save us
>>527454484So then it's fucking idiotic to shoot for them as an audience because they're predisposed to not want your game.
All this debate is stupid. At the end of the damn day lis1 sold the best because it blew up among YouTube gamers like Pewdiepie AND attracted a wide audience due to the time power mechanic and the emotional story between Max and Chloe (regardless on whether you ship them or not) as the entire game is about Max and Chloe. The game released at a perfect time blew up in the online space and the combo of Max and Chloe's story because the first game is about them plus the time travel power blew it all up.
Lis1 just had more going for it. I like the other titles but lis1s combo of power and story set it apart.
Which is why them bringing Max back without the heart of the first game (which is Chloe even if you guys hate her here she is the heart of lis1 since the entire damn game is about her) so bringing Max back without the heart yeah it crashed and burned. They were never getting a new audience. They needed to pull back the old audience. People like jacksepticeye for example gave up on the lis series but I suspect a return of Max and Chloe would potentially have even gotten him to play it. They needed to make this something old fans wanted to play to garner more attention. They gambled for a new audience and lost everything lol
>>527457227Indeed.
max on her own just.. isn't that interesting a character. I like her, but it's her playing off against Chloe, and the genuinely good side characters in the first game that worked. She was just a vessel for the player for the most part.
>>527458092For me it's Max's dynamic with Chloe is fun. The opposites attract energy the introvert vs extrovert energy. That's a big thing missing from DE. It's not that I don't love Max because I do it's that her dynamic with Chloe is so much fun. DE would have been way more fun if Max was bantering with Chloe who was helping her investigate. It's not about the ship it's about the way they interact. Trying to take that out of this game was a mistake. And they needed the old audience not new people. They'd have sold way more if the game had been able to show off Max and Chloe solving a mystery as the partners in time and crime. It practically sells itself.
>>527458092Fuck off Max hater
>>527458092>She was just a vessel for the player for the most part.This.
That anon was absolutely right. DE is your payback for hating Max. You don't see her as her own character, just an attachment to her toxic childhood friend? Well, now you get her happy, meeting other people, sucking faces with Amanda, however you like
>>527461391>Implying the absolute car crash of a person in DE is happy and not just desperately lonely, self hating and miserable as fuck.
>>527461391Being angry about requires people to actually care about DE to begin with. Every well adjusted person has already moved onto Lost Records.
You can stay in your LiS hole, but you are basically just yelling at shadows at this point.
Hell, starting next thread I'm going start using LR pictures in the OP exclusively.

>>527461676>lonelyNot anymore
Exactly, Max on her own is super boring. Id even say shes barely a character without Chloe, whilst Chloe could stand on her own just fine. It was never going to work without her. And whatever DN is gonna shit out next, be it DE2 with Max or a new entry with new protag (especially if its going to be that floyd-looking ratchet ass hoe), is going to be DOA unless it has Pricefield reunion.
No Pricefield = dead IP, simple as.
Max is a great character. But the Max in DE has nothing in common with the Max of the first game, feeling like a totally different person who learned none of the original Max's lessons, being just as irresponsible as when she was a teenager, perhaps moreso.
>>527462680dead IP = dead pricefield

>>527462905>feeling like a totally different personnot exactly, but i don't really feel like getting into it right now
>>527462905Yep. Just her voice slapped onto somebody else.
>>527462452We all tell ourselves lies anon.
DE Max, if you can call her that, is clearly suffering from Chloe not being around in either format.
>>527463659Wrong, Pricefield lives on in the hearts of the fanbase (or, well, whats left of it. as well as the people who have moved on since a long time ago or those who never played LIS2 & beyond are only gonna remember them fondly once in a while and not give a fuck about any of the other stuff), and nothing as iconic will ever come out of this franchise again, not even remotely close. So, go seethe harder, you KFC conoisseur lover.
>>527462452>>527464461Yeah, that looks like a hard cope on Max`s part. But dont we all try that sometimes.

Chat gpt on Safi theory thread
The theory that Safi broke up Max and Chloe makes sense because it aligns with both in-universe logic and character consistency. Here's a deep dive into why it holds water:
1. Safi's Powers Are Established as Deeply Disruptive
Safi is a shapeshifter with the ability to impersonate people perfectly, even deceiving those closest to them.
She can implant illusions, even on objects (like letters or phones), and leave a part of herself in others, possibly influencing behavior.
This sets the foundation for Safi to believably manipulate Max and Chloe without needing to physically meet both at once.
2. Chloe's Behavior Is Deeply Out of Character
Chloe is famously loyal, confrontational, and hates running away from emotional conflicts.
Breaking up by postcard, especially when Max is in clear emotional distress, feels completely wrong for her.
The postcard’s tone contradicts what we know about Chloe’s values—something even Max in-game seems confused by.
3. The Text Messages Feel Altered or “Filtered”
Max offers to use powers she claims are gone. Chloe distrusts Max suddenly and oddly, accusing her of manipulating reality.
These moments feel “off,” as if someone is impersonating them or filtering communication through Safi’s illusions.
Max even jokes about her phone being hacked—a line that may be more literal than it appears.
4. Photos and Memories Show Gaps and Deception
Max can’t remember arguments or specific moments with Chloe from “tainted” photos.
Safi touches the Life is Strange 2 photo—a possible clue she embedded illusions in key memories.
These memory issues are consistent with psychological manipulation or implanted illusions—something Safi explicitly says she can do.
5. Visual Clues Support Handwriting Manipulation
The postcard and poem pages share physical similarities (torn edges, marks) and similar handwriting, suggesting Safi forged the breakup letter.
This fits with her established ability to project illusions even on physical objects and writing.
6. Max Herself Is Confused About What She Did or Said
Max claims she would never say what Chloe accuses her of—echoing how Lucas reacts when Safi impersonates him.
This line—“I would never”—becomes a thematic link showing that characters are being misrepresented against their will.
7. Cultural Symbolism and Journal Clues
Owls are a symbol of shapeshifting spirits in Arabian folklore, tied to deception and haunting the lost—an eerie parallel to Safi.
Max writes that meeting Safi felt like they had known each other for years—a red flag that something unnatural is happening.
Max's glowing impression of Yasmin and Safi feels unnaturally intense and uncritical, possibly hinting at subtle psychic influence.
8. The Storm and Illusions Blur Truth and Fantasy
The illusions in Episode 5 aren't nightmares but power-induced projections, where Max literally hears herself break up with Chloe for Safi.
These illusions include kernels of truth twisted by Safi, possibly revealing what actually happened, distorted.
9. It Resolves a Major Narrative Contradiction
If Chloe really left Max via letter, it undermines the emotional journey of Life is Strange 1. The theory protects that by saying:
Chloe didn’t leave Max. She was sabotaged.
10. It Deepens Safi as a Villain
This theory would elevate Safi from a morally grey wild card to a deliberate manipulator, driven by power or obsession with Max.
It reframes the whole story as a slow takeover, with Chloe as the first casualty.
Final Thought:
It’s not just a stretch headcanon—it fits with the themes of identity, perception, memory, and agency that Life is Strange thrives on. Whether it's true or not, it's narratively strong, emotionally resonant, and deeply in tune with the characters and universe.
Full theory https://www.reddit.com/r/lifeisstrange/s/Yb51d3wbTR
Yes—unless the devs walk back or recontextualize Chloe’s “letter breakup,” the franchise risks permanently alienating its core audience. This theory is the most plausible and emotionally resonant way to undo the damage and make sense of what Double Exposure did—without retconning the entire game.
If they embrace it in Life is Strange 6, they might just save Max, Chloe… and the franchise.

Compare that to Lost Records and it feels like another planet, people are geniuenly invested in Kat, Swann or Nora, they do want to see where the franchise is going next, they ask for a Tape 3 to be relased.
>>527490764there's nothing more i could've done
i calmed her down in the panic attack, hugged her, danced with her, kissed her in the past epoch. she still drives off with no adult romance
dontbeblacknod are fucking racist
>>527490715>if you romance a white girl you get a happy ending lmaoNot really, it's more of a bittersweet kiss than anything else. Nora knows she can't exactly go back to when she loved Swann so ultimately she leaves, same for Autumn.
>>527490715It is a shame there's no traditional romance with Autumn in '22 but I just attribute it to the fact that she recently had a breakup and is clearly occupied with her job (or whatever it is that bothered her that night) to pursue one; plus her motivation for the reunion was to answer the question of the package, the catching up and reforging relationships were second but gradually became a priority.
>>527490764Really hope we get something during the interim.
>>527491163did you tell Autumn to protect or stick with Kat? Did snitch and get burned in the cabin or did she use the boombox to knock out corey? I think these two are also directly linked to her staying/leaving
>>527490764there won't be a sequel because there is literally nowhere for the sequel to go
>"but the ending! it's so obvious!!"no. they are on drugs (and racist), just try writing down a serious idea for a continuation on where it left off. you can't
>>527491442>there won't be a sequel because there is literally nowhere for the sequel to gI'd say there are a few ideas on what to tackle with the next game, like Dylan is still around and some anons before talked about how you could have the next game play as her kids, so to still have new characters and recurring ones as Michel said they wanted to explore.
>>527475990DE 2 is doomed because D9 don't have the writing ability to meaningfully course correct.
The smart thing that would actually help lessen the damage of DE 1 would be to effectually undo the entire game and have Max abandon that entire timeline. But there is zero chance we are going to get that game.
What I expect DE 2 will be is their original x-men idea with some stupid retcon present that allows then to include pricefield for marketing purposes just awkwardly tacked on.
It is frustrating that they could theoretically still salvage the franchise. But wont, just due to a combination of Square being Square, D9 not caring about the franchise and a lack of any sort of writing talent. There is no real reason why DE 2 has to bomb and LiS has to die; But all of the factors present mean that those things are going to happen inevitably.
>>527490175>autumnfagYou ruined the game for yourself. I'm so sorry.
>what the fuck was that ending?They want LR to be a large shared universe, with B&R just being one series that takes place in it.
So there was a greater narrative need to build mythos for the universe and sequel bait. Even if it lessened the impact of the ending overall.
>romancing anyone else was a mistakeNora is clearly the dev intended romance.
>i gave autumn a chanceBIG mistake.
>when it's clear this shit is never getting a sequelIt is.
The game met sales expectations and there is a need now to both end the B&R story while also setting up more mythos stuff for future Lost Records media.
>>527490715>I'm just reading the endings nowAll of the endings are sad. Bittersweet at the very most.
The girls being filled with regret and unhappy as adults is a key part of the stuff set in '22 and doubtlessly going to be a focus in the sequel.
>nora actually has a kiss in the adult epoch?It is a very tragic and emotionally charged kiss.
>if you romance a white girl you get a happy ending lmaoNora is by far the best romance option. But there is no happy ending.
>>527491098There have been serious discussions about DE but they've been few and far between. A shame but understandable since the game really is bad, like 3/10 bad and it's disheartening to discuss the few parts that are good about it.
>>527491967Most of the serious discussions also took place before it was obvious how much of a shit heap DE was in the first place. And as
>>527491894said, no way in hell we are going to get a meaningful sequel in the first place
>>527491894how was i supposed to know that frog writers are covert racists and were going to ditch the blaq girl as a love interest right at the very end of the game?
desu i'm not sure how anyone can be happy with this shit regardless of their choices. i just got the worst of it. i mean maybe katfags could be pleased if you interpret the final scene a certain way
swann commits abyss in the end because of how much the ending sucks lol
>>527492479>read more about the different endings>there's also a high chance if you don't romance autumn that she'll snitch to corey and betray the groupLMAO
>>527492404I'm still holding out hope that D9 and SE will course correct. My current cope now is they'll backpedal and retcon DE in its entirety and ape the comics to a degree. Scrap the x-men thing or just find some studio to continue it but make it a Safi game/comic; maintained as an AU that'll die with a whimper. Both have a 0.0000000001% or 0% chance of happening
>>527492642That's what happened in my first playthrough lol
>>527492979Best hope for a course correction is for the sequel to be a Rise of Skywalker mess that tries to make everyone happy and fails even harder than DE. A true course correction would be for Square to scrap any plans for a DE sequel and focus ahead on a proper LiS1 remake, in the same vein as Resident Evil or Silent Hill did. But it's also going to be extremely risky too
>>527492642Autumn is the worst character in the game. By far.
I'm shocked that the same people who wrote Swann, Kat and especially Nora also gave us Autumn.
Something seriously went wrong when they were conceptualizing her.
>>527492979If they try to push the x-men shit, then the franchise is dead. It is like how the final Jaws movie was so stupid and removed from the original that it ended up killing what was once a very profitable and well received franchise. There is just a tonal line of stupidity that you cannot recover from if crossed. The x-men shit is that line for the LiS franchise.
The ONLY way to actually start undoing the damage of DE 1 is to effectively retcon that game out of existence via timeline jumping. But that is never going to happen.
>>527490090>Alex - lace panties>Steph - boxer briefs
>>527493494for one thing, a remake could include every cut content and make it definitive but unless DN is involved, SE will rework it enough to make it their vision of what LiS should be. That could be what they're doing with the tv show though, maybe it's a stepping stone for whatever comes next
>>527493701>The ONLY way to actually start undoing the damage of DE 1 is to effectively retcon that game out of existence via timeline jumping. But that is never going to happen.As long as SE is involved, it won't. But I still hope...
>>527493494As long as it's clear that Square and D9 do not like Chloe, I don't understand why anyone would want an LIS1 remake. You're just going to be mad at the results.
>>527497171An LiS 1 remake that included a bunch of the stuff that got cut and just generally expanded on the original could work and even turn out amazing.
The problem is that it is just never going to work under Square and D9.
This is why I think everyone should have their fingers cross that after DE 2 bombs, MS swoops in and buys the IP.
>>527497171Square wants money and their hatred of Chloe is counterproductive to that. They'll bite the bullet for a LIS remake but I fear they will neuter the fuck out of Chloe to have more romantic screentime with Warren instead.
>>527497551DE2 is as anticipated as CoD Vanguard was, no way in hell it will be a success unless sweeping changes are made.
>>527511293lr totally killed all the hype
>>527511874You mean DE, in that case it absolutely stunk out like a turd in an unflushed toilet
it's eh

You could remove every 2022 scene from LR and it would be a vast improvement.

Bay is the best choice for Max because she did not get kidnapped and traumatised in the timeline.
>>527521443Except she does... She remembers it. Not too bright are you?
>>527521531She remembers what could've happen... in another timeline.
>>527521854>Bayers are so stupid they don't understand continuity of consciousness
>>527522526>you never step into the same river twice
>>527522730What your stupid ass is arguing is literally that she stepped in the same river twice. Max experienced the kidnapping. Everything in that week really happened to her because she experienced it. The timeline carrying on as if it hadn't doesn't erase that experience. That's supposed to be the cold fucking comfort that Bayfags get that at least they got a week with Chloe and Kate even though they're now both dead forever. How the fuck am I the one having to explain the thematic connotations of your own ending choice to you?
>>527522983This must be a troll.

>>527523605What he said is completely correct. Continuity of conscious is a thing. It all Max happened to Max. Are you trolling? Or are you genuinely this fucking dense?
>>527524843Don't engage with a troll. Or an idiot, that's a waste of electricity
>>527523658I doubt that, expecially since they are probably rewriting the whole thing
>>527523658Yeah, Square have made it pretty clear they want to bury Chloe six feet deep, but if they have any interest in salvaging this franchise financially, they'll have to suck it up and bring her back. The idea that they can just pivot away from her and Max's relationship and keep people engaged is delusional. So yeah, I think DE2 exists, but I’d bet good money they’re retooling it hard.
>>527527698But they did want to still profit off her and the fanbase, because right before DE they were doing the scoops collab and even asked that couple of cosplayer to have their photos on the official account, like this seems very inconsistent in the way they handled her so far
>>527527698>>527528280>decides to reprint Dust, the definitive Bae Pricefield story so far, and possibly the rest soon they're so tonedeaf. is this a glimmer of hope though? or will they just acquiesce spitefully

I thought DE was their way to get rid of the bay/bae question at the beginning of each new game (no chloe, arcadia bay rebuilt, max cut contact with everyone) but they still let the door open at the very end.
Screams conflict in the writer's room or with the publisher.
Now they still need to ask that stupid question again if a sequel is made.

Is it morally evil or good to not help anyone in LiS1 E5, while getting to the diner, since this timeline is about to be erased either way?
>>527651360At that point, Max would not know about the upcoming erasure. Neither would an unspoiled first timer.
So, technically, it would be wrong not to try help in that moment.
>>527651360Good if you decide to help; for both soul and conscience if you believe in such things and vice versa if you don't. I believe Karma exists in LiS' world and any good you put into it, regardless of its erasure, will be accounted for and carried forward in some form.

>>527652063Indeed.
It's not that she isn't the same Max from the first game, it's that she feels like she never was that Max.

Keno is rightfully beefing with crazy Twitter girl Saffron CHAOSTHE0RY_ you guys seen how nuts Saffron is?
>>527687784Saffron is a weird straight girl who posted on her personal how she wanted to fuck bts Nathan but spends all her time screaming at lesbians for being attracted to 18 and 19 year old Max and Chloe. Girl is 21 with major mental health problems
What's funny is I couldn't blame people for having beef with keno because of the way she shares her opinion it's just funny when people on Twitter try and take her down are unhinged and thus just make Keno look even more in the right.
