I'm the fury in your head!







Just kidding it's actually called Life Is Strange Season 2: Before The Storm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lQketFfKZ8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntBQ9NOj6Uc


And it's a prequel set 3 years before about Chloe and Rachel.

For those who don't know, Life Is Strange was a 5 part episodic "Walking Simulator." made a few years back about an emotionally confused shy girl trying to maker her way through college away from her parents for the first time in her life.... Who also happens to have supernatural time travel powers.

Very hipster and very endearing.

It's a very good game and managed to pull of the strange demographic double punch feat of being immensely popular among 12-19 year old girls and 20-35 year old men.

To top it off part 1 is free now so if you have never played it before you really should check it out.

But after years of rumors they finally revealed legtimately that they are making a sequel and even showed gameplay.

Some controversial moves to start off with tho as they are keeping the same cast of characters (at least some of them) with different voice actors and there is going to be a bonus episode about Max which apprently will be a pre-order exclusive.

It's also rumored that there will be some kind of special pre-order edition that will contain the all 3 episodes in one go.

There are no super-powers.

The game also will only be 6-9 hours long. With each episode taking about 2 hours to complete and 3 if you explore, get collectibles and read all the shit.

On top of that apprently the game was made by a different team as the real team are working on a Life is Strange Sequel not prequel. And this is just to tide people over.

So what do you think CE? Are you excited or could you care less?

I hated Chloe, why would I want to play with more Chloe.

The game will basically be you playing as Rachel trying to keep Chloe from being a dipshit and making problems worse by finding or having a gun. Then you get railroaded and no matter what you do to keep Chloe from having a gun like in the first game, she manages to get one and completely fuck the current situation over.

So you're telling me my goal in the game is to find a gun and be an idiot with it. Got it. I'd love to know more about Rachel but not at my sanity of managing one of the shittiest teens being shoved down my throat forcefully. Would've been nice if you could drop Chloe from the beginning.

That's a shame, it's a great game and Max is very endearing.

i heard this is cause of some voice actor strike going on.

i'm still holding on to hope that whatever problems that caused it, will be solved, and she'll be added in at some later point.

Never got past the first episode of season 1 when it first released. It was not very good imo and the time travel mechanics were not interesting enough to hook me. Stoner girl reminds me of a composite version of my obnoxious stoner sisters, so I fucking hate her. The school guard guy was literally doing his job but they tried really hard to make him an evil villain (he was like an extreme form of Kenny from Walking Dead S1). And the drama it had so far didn't interest me.

I hear it gets better but from the first episode I doubt it would be my cup of tea. I dont think anyone of this genre has surpassed Walking Dead S1 yet. Wolf Among Us S2 has potential but I doubt that will ever happen and Telltale has only gotten worse since.

I'm moderately excited. I enjoyed the first season way more than I anticipated, but I can't help but feel they took the wrong direction here. I just don't see how playing as Chloe is going to be very interesting.

I wasn't too sure at first, with the different development team and it being a prequel, only being 3 episodes, no Max, and also not too sure about seeing Rachel. She was quite intriguing in the way we didn't get to see her or find out if she could also time-travel.

But quite excited for it now, knowing that there's an actual sequel being made at the same time, this seems more like a bonus. I'm sure I'll enjoy it even if it's not quite on the same level as the first season.

Not really. Sociopaths have no emotions. Chloe is full of emotions.

She's just a selfish bitch and horrible person.

Which Chloe always was.

Yeah I think Rachel was best not seen. She was set up in Life is Strange as being mysterious and everyone being in love with her.

Just having her in the game as a random chick kinda kills that.

So weird that Twin Peaks (show which inspired Life is Strange especially Rachel) did the same thing with Larua Palmer.

Made her the centerpiece of all character arks despite never appearing.

Then she appears in the prequel as a generic girl and it doesn't work

You kind of gotten one fact wrong, this prequel is made by a completely different game developers. Dontnod, the game developers for the original LiS, is planning on making a LiS 2 but with a totally new cast of characters. The only thing we don't know if its going to be in the same universe or not.

With that said, I don't really care about this prequel. Rachel was better off as a mystery character and we kind of already got the gist on how Chloe became who she is. From the interviews, this prequel is sounding more like a fan game if anything. What I really want is the LiS 2 game dontnod is working on.

One of the co-directors of 'Life is Strange 2', Michel Koch, also mentioned that the upcoming 'Life is Strange 2' will have a new set of characters.

Koch added, "We can really go with other characters, other locations, but still keep the identity of the game, the themes of the game."

The director added that the story of Max and the others is already over.

I'm a little skeptical. Usually, a prequel explains something in the original so that the sequel won't have to waste time going in depth about what the prequel covered. I can't think of a game that got a prequel and the next one doesn't focus on the original cast.

Also, that doesn't say they won't make an appearance.

Final Fantasy XII was a Prequel to Final Fantasy Tactics

And FFXIII was unrelated.

Well don't take the redditors word for it. There are other sites that say the same thing. Apparently they've been working on the second game the moment they released the boxed version of LiS. Anyways I got the source from the LiS subreddit and a lot of those people are absolute freaks when it comes to the game.
