PGW should be particularly good for getting new LiS players, considering Dontnod is French. Maybe if they state that it is so, it will get some people interested.

Or maybe I'm just reaching here.

 

[Grisby]

Giant Bomb did a sort of LP with LiS. It's a voting deal so who knows if they keep at it.

 

[Squire]

Life is Strange is coming to Paris Games Week, why though? It's a few days after Episode 5 is released. Could we be getting DLC or confirmation on Season 2?

Square takes the game to every event they go to and it's always just the first episode.

It's just marketing.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

god damn it I thought I was going to get tales of zestiria this week to keep me busy until ep 5 but it looks like amazon is shipping the CE next week instead.

Can anyone tell

Spoiler

what shirt max(?) is wearing in the teaser? i can barely make it out

Spoiler

It looks like it's an outline of an insect, butterfly maybe?

 

[matrixman92]

the optional photos are showing up now under the achievements for episode 5 on xbox, if anyone wants to see. Some are....interesting to say the least.

obviously avoid them if you care about things that could potentially be spoilers.

 

[Hasemo]

Just curious, which version of the game seems to be the best? PS4 or PC?
I'm kind of worried that I'll get only Xbox controller prompts when using my DS4 on the PC.

I'd say go PC for 60 fps, unless the game is 60 fps on PS4, I've read it's only 30 though.

Could someone who used DS4 with the Steam version can confirm/deny that the PC version has only Xbox controller button prompts?

It uses 360 prompts, but it shouldn't be too big an issue. If you're asked to press a face button, it'll show all 4 buttons and highlight the one you need to press. It's not like you'll be pressing a bunch of buttons anyway.

What did they think of the game? I haven't really heard anyone from GB playing it -- Brad and Jeff did a quicklook, and seemed to enjoy it. Haven't heard anything from GB East.

Oh, so the game doesn't have any QTEs which require reflex?
If that's the case I can deal with Xbox prompts.

Definately play it on PC, game looks far better and runs very well, I get like 150fps walking around most areas

 

[TheKeyPit]

With Episode 5 relasing soon, I thought now would be the right time to jump in on the game, right? Is the time stuff really cool and have great consequences?

Definitely, there's some great sequences involving the time travel stuff

Last 30 minutes of Episode 3 is probably the best thing I've played this year

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

People, the epi 5 optional pics have leaked, so you all better watch out for spoilers!
Luckily I was able to avoid them this time

 

[Hasemo]

Thanks for the answers, I'll be grabbing the Steam version then.
Each episode is about 1-3 hours long, right?

Episode 5 achievements have been out on Steam since the first episode iirc, there's no spoilers in them at all

They seem to get longer and longer, episode 4 was the longest at about 3.5 hours for me

No I'm talking pictures, not the achievements associated with, so they have like, location spoilers.

how would they have been leaked? can you even see the pictures you take ingame? and even if someone leaked the pictures, why wouldnt they just leak everything else about episode 5?

Each took me around 3 hours

30 mins of one of them was (very minor spoiler)

Massively hyped for E5 after completely burning out on MGSV. Come to realise lately that I much prefer an 6-15 hour authored experience for the most part

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

In the past the pictures and title screen of episode 4 were leaked a playtester, so I imagine that's the case too this time. Don't know why they wouldn't reveal more though.
Also you can just see the pictures in your album so they just screencap that page.

 

[matrixman92]

no, the pictures show up for the achievement tiles on xbox.As I posted above,people that have the game on xbox can just go on xbox.com and look at them.

and yes, they do spoil some pretty big things

 

[Persona7]

damn, i need to be careful now to avoid spoilers.

They found some of the dialog a bit awkward (expected, I think), but they said they'd like to keep playing. They got to the part where

If you're really curious you could always check the community thread on /vg/ on 4chan. i heard about it being posted there.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Can't believe after all the waiting the release is already next week. I still have to finish my second time of playing this from the beginning, I'm in middle of Episode 4 at the moment. Have to be really careful with the spoilers from here on out.

 

[opoth]

Just finished episode 4 yesterday for the first time. What a ride, can't wait to see how it all ends.

 

[JonnyKong]

Omg.

3 days GAF.

Three days.

This game is still probably going to be my GOTY even if the ending is sub par (which I bet it won't be).

It's constantly stood out for me throughout the year and has.. moved me in a way games rarely ever do.

 

[Grisby]

They seemed to like it. The dialogue causes them to crack wise but at the end they all wanted to keep going. It's a voting deal though they have up on one of their threads, so it's up to the audience of they continue.

Probably GOTY for me, too. If you share my weakness for teenie drama, too, make sure to go see "Me and Earl and The Dying Girl"
