Life is Strange: Double Exposure - Announce Trailer (ESRB)

[@TheTenebri]

Being Max's friend is very dangerous. One is dead or was dead, then another is also dead

[@jean-francoisretief8587]

Actually, all her friends are in a state of superposition between being alive and dead. One must play the game to collapse each friend's probability function. She is Max "Schrödinger" Caulfield.

[@SirShirley]

I believe the developers went with the you choose saving the town over chloe, cause if i remember correctly everyone she's "hanging out" with are all the people that were supposed to die by the storm in the first game yet they're alive and well, unless they come how retcon everyone back to life by saying max has already went to an alternate world where no one died from the storm and chloe was saved as well but who knows at this point, the LIS timeline confuses the shit out of me already as it is.

[@-lovecassy_333]

@@giobhooo5058- same, i thought this was just a new cast so i was a little confused by the “I swore not to ever use my power again” but i just shrugged it off as hidden lore for when you play the game Edit: So the main thing throwing me off is the facial features, because the voice is the same but the features are just widely different. It’s not right to assume everyone stays the same when they were younger but do facial features change that much? I genuinely am curious cause I know it’s different for everyone. Personally I think I look the same just my freckles have sadly faded over the years but some have came back and some new ones have appeared and my well defined Cupid bow has sadly become more rounded. Have your features changed drastically?

That's true I hope she is just trying to solve who did it instead of repeating a Chloe situation. Let's hope they don't regress her

[@helenasoria3874]

I don't think so, she's gonna solve the murder in a timeline, and prevent it in another. That should be enough to avoid the timestorm.

In the comic series, it takes place in the world where Max sacrificed Arcadia Bay and Chloe survived. She also discovered new sides to her powers and traveled to a parallel universe where Rachel Amber didn't die and she and Chloe live in L.A. Max and Chloe came back together in their world and live in the new Arcadia Bay (for those who have read the comic, you know 😉)❤️ And now we see the world where Max sacrificed Chloe. I'm still speechless because I didn't expect that at all because but I'm still looking forward to it 🙏❤

Yeah, that is why in this game Max is trying to avoid saving her friend like she tried to do with Chloe in the first game. If she were to do that, then a new storm or disaster would spawn up. Instead, Max is trying to solve her murder. And she will accomplish that by jumping to another timeline where she is still alive.

[@myyxsubs]

We all know that Max accomplished the power of changing timelines, and I believe that in one reality she sacrificed the town, and in the other one she sacrificed Chloe. I have two theories based on the timeline the player chose to start. For understanding purposes, if I’m talking about the character from the main reality I will just mention their names (i.e Max), but if I’m talking about the character from the second reality, I will say their names with a D - for double - in front (i.e MaxD). Also, for the main reality, I will say reality 1, and for the second reality, I will say reality 2. 1 - If the player chose to sacrifice Chloe in the first game: On the dialogue between Safi and Max, Max can say that Chloe and her were just highschool sweethearts or just friends - so, she’s not still with Chloe because this is the reality (reality 1) where Chloe is dead. When Safi is killed, Max shifts to the other reality where ChloeD is still alive (reality 2). In that, we can see that every character has its “double” in reality 2, but the point is: where is Max’s double? Here comes the main plot. MaxD also shifts reality, and she’s the one that killed Safi in reality 1. But why? MaxD has to save ChloeD again, and for that, she has to kill Safi. In the game, Max will figure out why her double killed Safi, and why Safi’s life in reality 1 harmed the existence of ChloeD in reality 2. It is plausible, because MaxD already sacrificed the whole town for ChloeD, so why wouldn’t she sacrifice another life from a different reality to save ChloeD again? Also, I believe that in reality 2, SafiD also exists and she’s MaxD friend. It is possible that, for killing Safi in reality 1, MaxD would also save SafiD’s life. That’s because only one Safi and one Chloe could be alive for balancing the realities (I will explain more of balancing realities in the second theory). 2 - If the player chose to sacrifice the town in the first game: Max sacrificed the town to save Chloe - therefore Chloe is still alive in that reality, they’re just not together anymore. So in reality 1, Safi and Chloe are alive. Starting from that, MaxD, from reality 2, chose to sacrifice ChloeD to save the town, so ChloeD is not alive and SafiD is. Still, MaxD is the one that killed Safi in reality 1, because she has to keep both realities equivalent: In one reality, Chloe has to be alive and Safi has to die, and in the other one, SafiD has to be alive and ChloeD has to die. If MaxD didn’t keep both realities equivalent, Safi and Chloe would die in both of the realities naturally. So MaxD saved both of their lives by killing Safi. That explains the first game too; Chloe and ChloeD almost died in the first game several times, and that’s because Safi and SafiD were alive in the same realities. Final conclusion: Only one Chloe and only one Safi can be alive at the same time, so MaxD killed Safi to balance realities and stop the death of Chloe and Safi in both realities. Depending on what happened in the first game, there are two options of endings: Chloe alive in one reality and Safi alive in another, or Chloe and Safi alive in the same reality.

[@A1TA_chan]

I can't say I'm really happy about it. The Max model, logically, has grown, but I don't like it too much. The very beginning of the trailer is "I promised not to use my powers again" and it directly follows the same BUT! Her friend died!!! God, she's definitely going through this for the first time! She decides to use her powers to uncover and prevent this. And, apparently, her life did not teach her anything at all after the end of the first part. I wouldn't even be surprised if everything is OK this time and there won't be any storm, cause we're not saving Chloe!

[@Ilivepuppys]

tbh it just feels like the first game but new powers and new friend, I bet the ending will be the same, choose to save your friend or kill other or yourself.

[@TatankaTaylor]

Except that Max is not trying to use her rewind powers to save her friend. She is instead trying to solve her murder by jumping to another timeline. So you would be wrong about Max not learning about her mistakes in the fist game. She is trying to avoid another storm or disaster. That's why she says that she had avoided using her powers.

[@Ilivepuppys]

@@TatankaTaylor its the same concept, I can already bet on the ending... Prolly end the same way Max has to let her friend die, or she dies or someone else dies

[@TatankaTaylor]

@@Ilivepuppys Except that its not the same concept. In the first game Max didn't know the consequences of her rewind powers. In this game, she does know. And that changes how she goes about using them to prevent another disaster. Your logic about this is like saying that Terminator 2 is the same movie as Terminator 1. Because a terminator goes after John Connor. But its not the same movie. In the first one, the heroes didn't know what they were up against. That changed with the 2nd movie. Which resulted in a much different experience and plotline. But you do you. If you feel like this is more of the same, then avoid this game, all the God of War games about fighting gods or demigods, all the Mario games about a plummer saving a Princess or her kingdom and any new The Last of Us games that comes along dealing about fighting infected and people looking for cures and whatnot. The all use basic concepts that expand on it. But according to you, they don't do that at all. So... play Fortnite? There's only one of that one that keeps adding new stuff to it.

[@Ilivepuppys]

@@TatankaTaylor its the exact same concept, if it wasn't Max again trying to save a friend who I bet in every episode will almost die but we have to save her. the power is new, but the concept is the same old thing. Would of been way cooler if Max was maybe a mother and saving a child or saving her own mother, maybe giving us more than the same boring storyline but its always Max saving a friend and because of this I already know how this will end. I will let the friend die like Chloe because you can't change fate, bad things suck but you can't change fate.

[@ethanlappin]

@@djjones4705 they've been pretty good for taking both timelines into consideration in previous games; LIS2 had Arcadia Bay either safe or destroyed and David at the end either mourning Chloe or the town and his wife, while the wavelengths dlc for LIS:TC had versions of Steph for both outcomes. I'd hypothesize that for this they just don't want to commit to a single timeline nor have to create pretty much two separate games, with Chloe and without, so they'll ask which you chose to save and for the Bae reality Chloe will be off somewhere else

This is the same Max that sacrificed Chloe using her powers once again to save a friend from dying..........HAS SHE LEARNED NOTHING

[@deletedaccount7]

​​@ashleythibault1987 Wasn't it stated that the official canon ending was she sacrifices chloe though? It's nice that the original game let you choose, but if i am remembering correctly and that was the canon ending... Then ngl this feels like a huge step back for her character since she was supposed to learn the consequences and dangers of using her powers to change the lives of those around her. Edit: after googling it apparently it was never outright confirmed if one was canon or not (i guess I'm just remembering a bunch of KZbinrs saying which they thought was the canon ending)

[@catswithcattitudes2728]

Yeah LiS 1 was all about accepting fate and consequences and realizing that you can’t always go back in time and change things. I feel like that was a huge theme because Max even says “I wish I could stay in this moment forever…but then it wouldn’t be a moment anymore.” The whole game was based on things like that, questioning time travel and if rewind powers are actually as great as they seem. In this trailer she says she wants to save a friend and now she’s back to where she was in LiS 1…I guess they could try to make it where time travel actually works the way she wants it to? But then that cancels out the message of the first game… I’m still excited to see what this new game will be like and it’s fun to see Max and her VA come back again, but I’m just a bit puzzled because it feels like backpedaling.

[@damienrichards9743]

​@@catswithcattitudes2728Same here. I'm guessing any other story would have to be created entirely and I don't think they had any say in the matter. Going back to a familiar face may get things going or something. Unless I'm putting words in their mouths then my bad on that one. But all in all I'm excited for it. She may actually learn her lesson from the Chloe chapter of her life and not use it like that anymore. Maybe on occasion, but nothing major to the point of making a game about it. I don't know I'm most likely an idiot and is wrong. Much love and respect.

[@catswithcattitudes2728]

@@damienrichards9743 haha no you’re not an idiot! You brought up a good point, maybe they’ll end up doing something else with it that diverts from the first game. It’ll be interesting to see what they do for sure-still quite intriguing to look forward to!

I grew up alongside her and constantly replayed the choices and decisions she made with such a potent and experimental power. Something she never asked for and yet still wields something so altering. I don’t want to see her make the same mistakes again. Also Chloe. She better hop in this piece.

[@ann6303]

I though Max’s story was over. I don’t understand why she uses her powers since on the ending with Chloe dead she kills her best friend because she knows what her powers can do and in the second she stops using them so fate isn’t altered again. I get that her friend died but so did Chloe, again and again, she has learned what her powers can do. Also I don’t understand why she has a new power, since Chloe isn’t in the trailer and obviously can’t be a main character in the story, why not introduce a new character? I love max don’t get me wrong but her story was perfect and this is just an attempt to get the spark back from lis1. Lis3 was very disappointing compared to 1 and 2 and I don’t want to see Max’s story with the same fate as Alex. Tbh LiS without DONTNOD just isn’t the same

[@SergioMnl]

True colors was great in its own way. Get outta here if you don't want it

[@TatankaTaylor]

Dude, the new game doesn't contradict anything. Max had those powers in the original game. She was able to jump to different timelines using photographs. Also, Max is not rewinding time in the new game to save her friend. You see, she wants to avoid creating another disastrous storm or similar catastrophe. So instead of rewinding, Max only wants to solve her murder by jumping to a timeline where her friend is still alive.

[@lumardyy]

[@krankmas]

Deck Nine's LiS entries have been objectively better games. True Colors was amazing.

Also, 1:30 kinda looks like Rachel Amber, probably isn't though, unless she randomly shows up in the alternate timeline, or something?

ВСЁ ЭТО ЛИЧНОЕ МНЕНИЕ АВТОРА, ОНО МОЖЕТ ОТЛИЧАТЬСЯ ОТ ВАШЕГО!! Я ужасно расстроена.. Если честно, спустя столько лет первая игра смотрится намного интереснее новой части :( Сейчас время «2,5D» анимации и графики. Мне, как художнику, первая LiS была не только интересна, но ещё и эстетически приятна. Дневник Макс, Граффити Хлои в LiS:BtS. Сами персонажи выглядели очень приятно. Особенно мне нравились детали в виде фотографий в кабинете Джефферсона, в комнате Кейт/Макс/Хлои/Виктории/Нейтона. Это были рисунки, но они выглядели настолько хорошо и живо! Удивляюсь до сих пор! Но новая часть.. Просто реалистично скучная. Да, разрешения и анимация стала лучше, но.. при этом сама игра будто утратила жизнь? Я бы не узнала Макс если бы ту не назвали по имени. Она совершенно не похожа на себя! Герой не узнаваем. Единственное, что её связывает с собой из прошлого - фотографии. Да, прошло много лет и вы можете сказать мне что за такой промежуток времени она могла стать совершенно другой. Но, imho, хотим мы того или нет, некоторые привычки остаются с нами на всю жизнь. Они и делают нас собой. В новой Макс я такого не ощущаю. Я - большой фанат LiS. Я была абсолютно уверена что если выйдет какое-либо продолжение с моими любимыми персонажами - я обязательно пройду его одна из первых. Но увидев это.. Я чувствую разочарование.. ОЧЕНЬ хочу дать шанс новой части, но покупать игру раньше релиза я не стану. Буду надеяться что моё мнение изменится после просмотра прохождения у кого-нибудь🦋

[@монахиня413]

Я согласна с тобой! Первая и вторая части самые лучшие! Я даже третью допройти не смогла, сюжет и способность с эмоциями были очень скучными. А братья диасы в моем сердце навсегда, в этой игре тонна разветвлений сюжета и вариаций выборов, в третьей части их просто сократили до двух. Судя по новой части - просто копия первой. А я ждала что то новое, например, с телепортацией, главным героем мужчиной или ребенком, что то новое!
