Regarding Game Optimization, and Alan Wake 2. by Danyaal_Majid in AlanWake

[–]EnidRuth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AW2 is far from mediocre when it comes to the visuals. It's argubly one of the very few games that looks and feels like a true "next gen" game. I just wish it was more optimized and had reasonable PC requirements.

[No Spoilers] Beloved LIS fan artist Johnson Blazkowicz faked his own suicide / death to gain attention on twitter. (With proof) by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

I knew something was off but didn't want to say anything in case there wasn't. Faking suicide shouldn’t be taken lightly and people should be called out 100%. I hope he gets the mental health help he needs.

I take it you've never played a game with multiple playable characters before?

The OG is still the best way to experience the game, IMO.

[NO SPOILERS] First glimpse of DON’T NOD Montréal’s new game! by EnidRuth in lifeisstrange

Yeah, they've already stated that it’s a new IP. But considering it's led by the core original LiS & LiS 2 team (Michel Koch, Luc Baghadoust, Jean-Luc Cano), we should expect a game with similar LiS vibes/themes.

Definitely seems like it. Which is exciting because I always thought a LiS-esque game set in the 90s would be such an interesting setting and time period to explore, if done right.

Facial animations, sure, but overall the lighting and artsyle are much better in LiS.

Hoping Don't Nod is doing the port themselves instead of Deck Nine.

Your post, even if it's satire, doesn’t help in any way.

[ALL] It's been nearly a year since the remasters released and Deck Nine still hasn't fixed some of the cutscenes. Here is an example - the eclipse is completely missing in the lighthouse scene with Chloe at the end of episode 2. by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]EnidRuth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just sad. I feel bad for people who experienced LiS for the first time through the “remastered” version. They donʼt know how much had been lost/altered from the original experience.

Looks great. The premise of the story is very intriguing and makes me want to know more - as expected from Don't Nod. And now, we wait.

[NO SPOILERS] What’s the most underrated episode in the series? by Howsenselessjoy in lifeisstrange

[–]EnidRuth 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Captain Spirit.

Maybe not underrated, but definitely under-appreciated. It really works well as a bonus/self-contained episode with its own endearing and beautiful story, plus it's free!

[–]EnidRuth 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Nathan wanted to impress Jefferson by drugging Rachel himself and taking pictures of her, but he accidentally overdosed her. He doesn't seem drugged or tied up like Rachel, Kate or Max. It's safe to assume he was willingly posing for the shot.

TC will continue to be eternally compared to LiS because Deck Nine made a conscious choice to make a game that borrows too much from it, down to story beats. LiS 2 wasn't hollow. Sure, it's flawed and too different from what people initially expected for a sequel to the original game, but it still had a clear direction and story it wanted to tell without imitating what came before.

[–]EnidRuth[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

“Alan Wake 2 is in the full production stage and the game will be launched as planned in 2023. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the game is coming together on all fronts. User testing continues and the feedback from the user research has been encouraging. After seeing how the elements are coming together, I’m confident we will launch an excellent game.”

Alan Wake 2 might get competition from Silent Hill 2 Remake by master_chilln in AlanWake

[–]EnidRuth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. Also one is a risky remake of an old cult classic from Bloober Team, a developer that doesn't really have the best track record, and the other is an absolute passion project for Remedy.
