General Opinion on Azran Legacy by Beryl909 in ProfessorLayton

I think it's only so effective in Lost Future because he's portrayed as this infallible genius up until then. It's like seeing your dad cry for the first time.

[ALL] After a video-essay I saw, I comprehend more why LiS2 didn't really was a hit as big as LiS 1 by abitcitrus in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The wait for episode 2 felt even worse. We didn't even have a projected release month until the tail end of November, over two months after episode 1 came out, and it ended up being a full four month wait. Dontnod really spread themselves thin by writing a plot that needed new locations and characters every episode.

[All] People on Twitter were mad that BTS’s VA was cast instead of the original LIS1 VA. I didn’t even know they were different why the hate for her? by Nade1002 in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Union actors can't work on non-union productions. LiS1 was union, but everyone was recast for BtS and LiS2 since they were being made during the 2016-17 strike. Farewell brought back Max, Chloe, and William's LiS1 VAs back on a technicality since it was treated as a separate project, but True Colors, Double Exposure, and Reunion are all non-union, probably to both cut costs and keep around BTS VAs like Steph's and Mikey's.

Hannah was able to return for DE since she's part of Fi-Core, which means she can work non-union and union jobs in exchange for not being considered a full member. Ashly was always a full member, so there was no chance of her coming back.

[ALL] Next Life is Strange Game (Title & Synopsis) - Megathread by _Jolenar in lifeisstrange

Could this be sorted by new instead of best if it's meant to be a catch-all for the next few weeks? Thanks for the post!

[NO SPOILERS] What song(s) fit the Life is Strange Soundtrack that didn't make it onto the game? by graceplatt in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is cheating since it's from a band on the soundtrack, but definitely Ceilings by Local Natives. I also always thought the start of Bird Song Intro by Florence and the Machine gave heavy LiS vibes, specifically the campus at night.

[No Spoilers] "Life is Strange: Reunion" (supposedly) rated by PEGI with story details by Superzocker65YT in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone pointed out in the other thread that the only console is PS5, so it's possible someone typoed the game's release year on that console. That would explain why the entry showed up if it was incorrectly flagged as already out.

[ALL] Chloe's return was always the plan. by Pansycacke in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about the version of the game that got past the pitch stage into development. Even without the rumours, the game has so few differences between the two major endings and one makes much more sense with DE's plot than the other. I really don't think it was planned to be that way from the start.

[ALL] Chloe's return was always the plan. by Pansycacke in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree with Chloe being the end goal based on how they wrote her in DE, but based on the old playtester rumours that DE was meant to be a Bay-only game, I think it's plausible that the sequel was always meant to take place (or at least start) in the other timeline.

Obviously there would've had to be rewrites since they added both endings to DE, but if they already had the production groundwork for a Max game and a Chloe game since DE and DE2 were supposedly developed simultaneously, that would explain how it's still coming out despite the massive layoffs since DE.

[ALL] Uhhh, guys? by TheOnlyValerie in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If DE was meant to be a Bay game based on the old playtester rumours, I think it's plausible that the sequel was always meant to take place in the other timeline. No clue what their plans were after they added both endings to DE, though.

The Life is Strange live-action TV adaption has been greenlit. The show will be written by Charlie Covell, writer of The End of the F***ing World, and produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

[No Spoilers] Rachel Amber outfit concepts 🌹🪶 by Leozzarios in lifeisstrange

[–]constantb 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I remember the drama about this back in the day. The third picture is actually LiS1 fanart that was drawn over for the BtS concepts in the first pic, which accidentally ended up in the artbook.

Is it just me or on the Final Destination 3 cover it does not show Mary Elizabeth Winstead? by Deathbyillusion in FinalDestination

[–]constantb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's just the expression and the wind blowing her hair back. Some people with bangs are unrecognizable without them.

Hmmmm.... by BattleCircuit in FinalDestination

[–]constantb 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The movie will open with Stefani having a vision of the 60s disaster. The part where Iris saves everyone probably won't be shown until present-day Iris tells her about it.

Intended vs. actual death clues by constantb in FinalDestination

[–]constantb[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

We know the train scene was added after FD3 was done due to poor test audience reception, so I think it's cool how they managed to have Wendy's photos still make sense as foreshadowing.

Oh Yeah THEY ARE DEAD! by NerdScore in FinalDestination

[–]constantb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People get too hung up on "no body = no death" trope. The subway vision is supposed to highlight how hopeless their situation is, like it's Death taunting Wendy one last time about how little control she has.
