Wow so many great suggestions

I laughed at "Rewinder Me", love that one.

Aaahh I can't choose, you guys should vote or something while I finish up the OT

I will insist with "Remember them?"

Is this game up on the US Xbox marketplace?

 

[Fret]

Come on, it's either a huge overstatement or you don't have a very long history with video games. It's not THAT bad.

Like I said, it doesn't ruin anything. But it is pretty bad. Since it's a story driven game and the dialogue is so important, it sticks out much more than other games.

What other games have you seen thats worse?

To ease your disappointment on this matter to me it felt like the lip-sync got better towards the second half of the game.However it felt like the only really really bad lip-sync was on the teacher.

Great, I'm excited to keep playing

This is just a case of PSN store updating whenever the hell they get to it, but it'll probably worse this time around since it's not on a tuesday. They really need a damn schedule with that.

 

[Lightning Count]

Good, I wanted to get my double-dip on last night but alas, it was nowhere to be found. I hope we get the theme I saw someone from the EU get.

I forgot about the theme, maybe I'll take a look at it.

and here I thought that this generation we could avoid the slow store updates with pre-loading but alas

 

[QuickSilverD]

Oh shit!

Like I said, worse because it's not a tuesday.

 

[Manu]

What the fuck, Sony.

They really need to fix their store updates, this is ridiculous.

 

[kubus]

Oh man, that doesn't sound good :O

So just so I get the information in the OT right, the PS4 release is delayed in the US, but the PS3 version is out? And Xbox versions are also released normally?

 

[QuickSilverD]

it fucking is, we should loudly complain about it, write them an email or something, the Store schedule has always been so bloody lazy.

I do not believe the developer would have said the game would come out on the 30th had Sony not given them the OK, so yes, this fucking shit is unacceptable, it just ruined my weekend

 

[Persona7]

Sony just doesn't want my money. This happened constantly last generation when the PS Store would not be updated but the new release would be available on every other platform so I got it there instead.

 

[Manu]

Nothing on the PS Store for either PS3 or PS4.

 

[kubus]

The wording in that tweet is a bit weird. "Life is Strange Complete Season will be available on Tues Feb 3rd." makes it sound like the first episode *will* be available, but the season pass won't. :/

Man, I'm sorry to hear this for you US folk . We had something similar in Europe not too long ago with the release of Costume Quest 2. Released everywhere in time for Halloween except on PSN in Europe ~_~. Seriously Sony, fix your store updates.

Nothing on the PS Store for either PS3 or PS4.

 

[Persona7]

It's definitely available on Xbox One and 360 right now, I can see it for purchase in the marketplace. It is available on every platform except for PSN.

The worst part is I skipped buying it hours ago on steam because I thought it would be available on PS4 in the morning. I think I am just going to not bother buying multiplatform games on PSN any more. Sony definitely doesn't want my money and that's ok.

It was available last night on XB1 I'm pretty sure. Steam version launched early too.

 

[Lucifon]

PS Store updating on 1 day a week is downright stupid. The Xbox store always used to update whenever they wanted to add something, yet with Playstation throughout the whole of last gen Sony bundled everything into 1 day a week, as if it's too much effort to roll out an update at any other time.

It's beyond me how this is still the case 9 years later...

 

[kubus]

The |OT| is now up! Thanks for your patience everyone!

The weirdest thing is that the Japanese PSN store used (maybe still?) be updated on a daily basis. I don't know why they made it so that it updates only once a week (with exceptions).

 

[Cogo]

Does the PS4 version run in 60 fps?

 

[purpletentacle]

Oh shit!

I don't see this tweet anywhere on their Twitter page.

 

[GRaider81]

Why not just buy from EU store? Its what I do when US gets things first

 

[QuickSilverD]

I don't see this tweet anywhere on their Twitter page.

I promise you it was there before, they probably deleted it, which hopefully means the game will be up sometime later today ::crosses fingers::

Can I do that without creating another account?

 

[purpletentacle]

Oh, I don't doubt it.

And yeah, I hope the same.

That said, between this and Grim's launch - Sony REALLY needs to step up here with PSN. It's just all over the place these days.

 

[Blimblim]

We are live streaming the beginning of the PC version right now, in case anyone wants to check it out

[De_Legend]

Well I got the first episode on PSN at least, not you guys?

 

[Yaari]

Trial did a good job selling me the game.

 

[QuickSilverD]

I finally see it in the store, but has no price nor anyway for me to purchase it, is that happening to anyone else?

 

[Manu]

Same here. It says "released January 30, 2015" but has no price or buy option.

 

[QuickSilverD]

their latest tweet doesn't fills me with confidence

That tweet doesn't exist anymore. What did they say?

 

[John Kowalski]

That tweet doesn't exist anymore. What did they say?

That the full season would be available the 3rd, and that ep1 and season pass would be available already. But i guess they don't want to set things in stone.

 

[Ricker]

I see the episode 1 on the N.A. PSN but no demo and no season pass option so far...maybe they are working on putting it up slowly...

 

[QuickSilverD]

Seems episode 1 & the season pass (ep 2-5) is finally up, I was able to purchase them and I am now downloading it

 

[Kinyou]

I have to say, after playing the demo I feel like the dialogue is pretty awful. At least mostly the stuff that Max is "thinking". Kind of turned me off the whole thing.

Remember Me's writing wasn't really good at all and filled with clichès, so that's my biggest hang up at the moment, especially given the trite setting.

the review from my site (not written by me, but by one of co-workers) is up: I Love Videogames (Italy)

good score:

8.5 out of 10

We Got This Covered - 9/10

When it all comes down to it, Life is Strange is a potential masterpiece that is just beginning to break out of its proverbial cocoon.

 

[inm8num2]

IGN - 6.5/10

Life is Strange suffers from awful voice acting and writing that doesn’t do its characters and world justice. Dontnod has created great scenarios for a story I’m eager to learn more about, but the moment-to-moment interactions with people in Max Caulfield’s life are pretty painful. Archetypal characters with weak lines and worse delivery don’t ruin everything, but they make it harder to buy into a story that’s trying so hard to have heart.

Sounds just about right.
