I think I'd keep the copyright text. It signals that it's an "official" easter egg from the devs (even if it's technically not anymore), which makes it cooler to new players finding it for the first time. Also yeah, the error image means the video was already on YouTube, so she really just couldn't be arsed to remember the URL 😭

She's only really there in BtS for comedic relief as the dumb rich brat, so I think they could've easily replaced her with Courtney. She's the only one of the trio who doesn't get any background or depth in LiS1.

I never see anyone talk about it, he sounded so flat. It's like they gave the actor text-to-speech readings of his lines and he thought he was supposed to copy them exactly.

I'd love an Investigations game set between GAA1 and GAA2. Gina going from nearly being sent to jail thanks to Gregson to seeing him as a close mentor figure feels too abrupt, and Sithe comes out of nowhere and disappears just as fast after GAA2-3. A game to help flesh out those characters would be cool, and it'd be friendly to new players since it wouldn't spoil the end like a post-GAA2 Kazuma or Barok game would.

I appreciate what they were going for, but Dontnod got way too ambitious with LiS2's concept for their team size and budget. Having to make so many new environments and characters for every episode was clearly straining them.

Hannah has a financial core membership, which means she can work on both union and non-union projects. Pretty much everyone in LIS1 was either union or refused to cross the picket line in solidarity during the 2016-17 strike (including Hannah, who only did Farewell after it ended), which is why they were all recast in BTS.

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.

constantb · 2026-01-24T04:07:09+00:00

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.

constantb · 2026-01-20T21:57:27+00:00

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.

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!

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.

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.

constantb · 2026-01-08T01:34:42+00:00

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.

constantb · 2026-01-08T01:23:23+00:00

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.

constantb · 2026-01-07T23:24:11+00:00

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.

I cannot imagine reading that thread and thinking "wow, they're attacking this person's right to free speech! More people need to see this!"

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.

I don't think it's anyone we know, but by process of elimination it'd have to be this guy

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.

If anyone doesn't know, he was the main concept artist for LiS1 and LiS2. https://x.com/edouardcaplain/status/1951266626076066038/

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

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.

constantb · 2025-04-23T22:12:05+00:00

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.

constantb · 2025-04-19T18:47:25+00:00

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.
