This Game will be Life is Strange 3...

[@PARADOXsquared]

I agree with Don't Nod that not every story needs to be dragged out. Like we should allow some stories to be self contained and finish while they are still loved, rather than watered down into nothing. Aren't people tired and burnt out by corporations churning out "content" to cash in on our feelings about the "art" that came 1st? Or is it just me?

[@CucuOnGames]

i really hope DN succeed with their new direction! i hate derivative media

[@KryzysX]

agree with this thread

[@activatebpm]

I do agree that continuing the story may not be a great idea, as we've seen that play out poorly with plenty of other projects. However, I do think some additional DLC content would be worthwhile for some of us superfans. Playing as Nathan, for one episode, as an example. Seeing what he experienced leading up to meeting Mr Jefferson. Life is Strange 2 and True Colors we're in the same world, and had a couple of crossover characters, but I would like to see more content of the main LIS story characters, even if it does not contribute to the furthering of the overall story.

[@KryzysX]

@@activatebpm There's indeed significant potential tied to this. You're correct... Life is Strange has been a significant part of my life ever since. And if there were anything to revive it...

[@jaybee4288]

To some extent but the max sequel will get more sales than all the other sequels combined and there’s reason for this. She was their most popular protagonist in their most popular story. And people are invested and want to know how she is. So I see your point but also sometimes it is good to go back to what works, let’s not forget the huge gap in popularity between Life is strange and all the other games in the series. LIS2 underperformed so the choice is a bit more simple - do we have more story to tell or not. But for max it’s more a question of can we sell lots more LIS if we bring her back.

[@Dadidl]

I don't know how slim the chances will be, but I always liked that the lis universe is connected. And I hope that somehow there will be a connection between the characters of lost records and characters like max, chloe, sean and daniel.

That might be hard considering both Chloe and Sean could potentially be dead. Granted they showed in LIS2 that their ‘canon’ ending was destroying Arcadia Bay, but they never came out with what the ‘canon’ ending for LIS2 was which would be tough considering the only endings that have Sean alive and not in prison are in Mexico.

Fun fact: pretty much everyone who has powers in the LiS universe is from the general pacific northwest area. Max is from the state of Oregon (we don't know precisely where since Arcadia Bay, her place of birth, is fictional) , Daniel is from Seattle, Alex was born in Portland, Oregon. They're all from generally the same region of the USA and that is very sus imo.

LiS2 is definitely my favorite tbh. It suffered because people wanting Chloe and Max back and then the topics they were going into made cause some outrage from certain people. Tell Me Why also was so good imo which in my head feels like a life is strange i think right next to LiS2 for me. Excited for Lost Record the pink glow is really reminding me of that prime show called Paper Girls which was based of a book of the same name. which had the whole thing where the girls find something with a pink glow. the girls end up time traveling to the future and meating future adult versions of themselves and it took place in the 90s before going to the future. Never finished season 1 since i heard it got cancelled made me not want to finish it but i do know there was giant mecha in it.

[@hudsonreynolds2302]

Something I’ve been thinking about is how much more successful life is strange 2 wouldve been if it was more closely connected to the first. The show infinity train is also a anthology with a very similar premise to life is strange with each season focusing on a new set of characters. The difference is, the characters are already pre-established from previous seasons. For example, a backgrounder from season 1 may become the main character in season 2 and the antagonist of season 2 may become the protagonist of season 3. This worked for the audience better because they were more comfortably eased in to having other protagonists by starting with familiar faces before expanding to newer characters. Like, if Sean was more so based on a backgrounder from the first game with life is strange 2 having the same plot and premise and just a closer approximation to the first entry. Kinda like how they did Steph but just more calculated and purposeful.

I was 16 when LiS first came out. I found out about it when Episode 3 was kinda freshly out when I was on summer vacation at my grandmas for a few weeks until August. I watched PewDiePies Let's Play and was... enchanted. As a teenager in 2015 where Tumblr and Pinterest were the main factors in my life regard aesthetics I LOVED LiS. I could see myself in these videos. My upbringing was nothing really... good and having this escapeism situation at my grandmas during summer and watching LiS Let's Plays felt so therapeutic for lonely teenager-me. I stayed up all night when the new episode 4 released just to catch PewDiePies Let's Play as soon as possible. Worth it. When LiS Before the Storm came out I had the same reaction. I was 18 years old now, finished school and had a boring day job. BtS gave me something to be excited about after work. It's flawed, yes, but that's why I loved it. I ate every episode up and connected to these characters. I never really got close with LiS 2 or True Colors. I'm not sure why, despite loving the artstyle and stories it's just not the same to me. Lost Records looks like LiS & BtS (but with an altered art style) and that's why I'm so excited for it. The games may be flawed, but that's why I love them. If I want a truely "perfect" story I'd just replay RDR2. But I want to play flawed games. I want to see flawed people, terrible people, conflict and humanity. LiS & BtS reminded me of my hometown, my school/college and the people around you. Life is not perfect, it is indeed strange.

thank you so much! that really means a lot :')

[@metropunklitan]

yes! more content! i adore this franchise

[@CucuOnGames]

me too! aaaaaaaa

[@sotrueczl8768]

life is strange means soooo much to me. i still play every game atleast a couple times a year and i met some amazing people through the fandom.

[@CucuOnGames]

it's honestly such a lovely community!

[@RamChop451]

Before the Storm's announcement trailer hit different

[@CucuOnGames]

for REAL i remember seeing it like 6 years ago

[@Natori_1999]

Technically this would be 4 because life is strange true colors was listed as life is strange 3

[@CucuOnGames]

oops! that's my bad :P

[@JB-jt6oq]

every second I spend thinking about Life is Strange this game gets even better in my head

[@CucuOnGames]

same :')

[@KryzysX]

2:29 Game also treats to the most overwhelmingly lovely OST your ears will ever hear.

[@zekag4756]

I really love LIS2, I guess the theme of family bonding, self-struggle, and the pursuit of freedom is really my thing. During the COVID, the whole story really hits differently. And I can see why it's not loved by a lot, it got some flaws such as very in-your-face political stuff, some character's weird behavior(yes I am talking about Daniel in chapter 4). Still, this is my favorite LIS game.

[@thatguy2920]

I hope in the next game we dive more into Chloe and her ability to see the future through her dreams. In the prequel we saw moments of this of parts of her dream showing hints of what was coming. While every person has their limits to their ability, hers seem to be tied to how much she can spend with her dad before remembering his death. Plus then there’s Rachel, who seemed to be hinted at being able to manipulate the elements with her emotions, and that would be interesting to dive into as well

[@CucuOnGames]

i really enjoyed how they hinted at supernatural elements in BtS!

[@rubydoopydoo]

isnt there already a third game??

[@Gafafsg]

True Colors lol

[@dfabulous]

I swear True Colors is LiS3

[@BbuyTheStars]

it is, i don’t care what anyone says

[@littleguy3]

yep

[@Jusuuw]

I loved Remember Me, i'm a huge fan of it and when i heard that Life Is Strange is coming out i was excited and was so happy to see how big the game became to be. My favourite is LiS2, it was an amazing, sad story. LiS1 wasn't as character wise really not my thing, i couldn't accept the bad friendship Max and Chloe had.

[@dilir2572]

Life is Strange is one of my favorite game franchise ever. So much heart so much personality and so much charm. I love it

[@CucuOnGames]

there's certainly something special about it

[@bubbamax1990]

It was nostalgic when you introduced the original Life Is Strange, it was cool when Before The Storm had its intro, but I got literal CHILLS when Life Is Strange 2 got its introduction. Lis2 will always be my favourite no matter what anyone else had to say about it.

[@CucuOnGames]

i LOVED making those little intros hahaha, i didn't wanna be too corny with it, but it was genuinely so much fun to cut together mini-trailers like that

[@Hai_..]

I feel very nostalgic about life is strange 1 but i literally sob when i think about life is strange 2

[@roxii7190]

Life is Strange 3 is already out... True colors

[@RavenStorm332]

you forgot about a Don't Nod game which is "Tell me Why" a really good three episode game

[@CucuOnGames]

i did! it's a shame, i actually really enjoyed tell me why

[@activatebpm]

Before the Storm probably would have been an even bigger success had there not been an actor's strike.

[@clartblart3266]

I hadn't heard of Lost Records before! I'll check the trailer out. Great video, I'm subscribing

[@CucuOnGames]

i'm really glad, thank you! i hope you enjoyed the trailer :)

[@Martina-xk1jn]

Ugh no, i loved each life is strange releases. I even cried with my finale of the second one. Life is strange for me is one of those things i would want to relieve as a first time. I'm not the type to replay or rewatch something i've seen so i'm dying for a new story 🥺

[@CucuOnGames]

i loved all of them, but LiS 2 hit particularly hard

[@emeralddreamer7738]

LiS is great game. It shows how Life is sometimes strange. That is what that game always was about for me. LiS2 is great succesor. It gave us something new that felt like it still was episodic storytelling about how life can be strange. It being so different, yet still fit in the theme. Then when I watched videos talking about True Colors all I heard was "came back to it's main theme of murder mistery".. That was never why I fell in love with it. Queer or not, I didn't care. That was never the reason the game was great. Yes, the relationships matter, but it doesn't matter who they are. Max or Sean? Both were great, both were different. If there was to be LiS3, I wish it was nothing like LiS & LiS2, I wish it was about how strange life can sometimes be, but this time in different place with different situation. (True Colors didin't manage to feel unique)

[@InktheImpassive]

I just really love the concept of having superpowers in a rather normal and relatable world, a world that just goes round without any people being aware of it or the government somehow being involved in the background. I wish there were more of that.

[@Xerxes126]

I first played LiS on the 360 and loved it, but I stopped keeping up with the franchise. Learning about Dontnod's backstory and what they've been up to since then was very interesting. Great video. I'm excited for Lost Records!! 💜

[@CucuOnGames]

thank you so much for your comment :D

[@PARADOXsquared]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Tell Me Why. It really feels like a spiritual successor to LiS and I LOVED it just as much, if not more

[@CucuOnGames]

to be honest? i'm not sure either lol, i think it'd been so long since TMW that i totally forgot about it! i really loved playing it tho

[@jacksonianian]

unfortunately, I do not like deck nine. before the storm and true colors are bottom two for life is strange, because I don't like when companies make entire projects for fan service. I wish I did like them, but I just can't, but I am VERY excited for lost records and will be buying it immediately.

[@CucuOnGames]

it's really sad, because it seems like SE kinda just use them to churn out fanservice games, when it's clear that D9 do genuinely have a passion for storytelling

[@jacksonianian]

@@CucuOnGames yeah, it's just hard to see them from a different angle. unless, they randomly turn into the best game company ever lol

[@Gratedcourgette]

Great to have you back CuCu ❤

[@crunchester]

It would be also nice to mention Dontnod releasing Tell Me Why and Twin Mirror which both felt like unofficial Life Is Strange games with their themes and formula. So Dontnod even if they no longer work on LIS, they kinda never stopped making games in the same 'realm'.

[@MrMirhen]

Hey stranger, it is good to have you back and thank you for telling the story of this promising new game, I will certainly keep an eye on it. :)

[@CucuOnGames]

thank you so much! it's great to be back :)

[@snakeredprey5354]

i wish i knew the names of all the names of all the songs in this video

[@ghostkitten6779]

Who's here after watching the trailer for LiS Double Exposure?

[@anastasiagirl1342]

6:38 before the storm was such a mess 😰

[@orangeandblackattack4946]

It’s crazy to me that people didn’t like LIS2 because it wasn’t enough like LIS but didn’t like LIS:TC because it didn’t offer anything new- they gave something new and all the ‘fans’ wanted to do was suck on a dry teet and complain they wanted more of the characters they’d already milked to death, of course they’d circle back. Fans are the worst and best parts of gaming.

[@casswashwash1070]

Right like chloe was insufferable. Max was annoying with her obsession woth her. Just ick lmao iconic as it was the first but the second was amazing and. True colors was good too

[@laytonvicars4606]

People didn't like TC because it was a badly written garbage with weak characters and a lazy take on such a cool concept.

[@ordinaryhuman23]

​@@casswashwash1070 any person who unironically uses the word "ick" isn't to be taken seriously, just like you.

[@PhaethonCrafts]

I never even finished True Colors because it was bugged on PS5 during a main quest and I literally couldn't finish it as the prompts never appeared.

[@LPwatcher1000]

I think the thing that really connects me to LIS2 the most is the relationship between Daniel and Sean. LIS1 more captivating and my personal favorite of the franchise but that scene in the church really hits hard and then the ending really highlights how well you raised Daniel. I personally got the ending where both brothers surrender and I like to understand the message of it as a rejection of the narrative the police and media portray. Despite what everyone is reporting, you have a choice to prove whether you are truly what they say you are or to reject the notion and face the heat.

[@mylifeasnova4211]

this isn't a life is strange 3 LMAO it's an entirely new game

[@CucuOnGames]

correct :) but it IS a spiritual successor!

[@hristtheshaker]

Thanks for this very informative video, it's great to have the update. True Colors is my fav of the LiS-style games but the themes really resonate with me. I suspect from what I've seen that taste in LiS games seem to hook with people, in a good way or a bad way, through themes based on what matters to them as humans and what they carry with them from their past. That's what makes these games so powerful and it's an incredible storytelling feat, even if the beats get repeated.

[@reuterss306]

Imho the feeling of the first game most likely cant be replicated. Even though I am a dude I could totally relate to Chloe being that outsider character. Then the twist with her powers and the shocking moments realizing what certain actions had caused. The soundtrack. The feeling. The character buildup. Even though I personally liked LIS2 maybe even more, this is one of those experiences you wish you could forget. Just to experience it again.

[@tosina2946]

this is the first time i've heard of lost records and I'M SO EXCITED OH MY GOD

[@CucuOnGames]

aaaaa same!!

[@MadameAschaschi]

What version of Haven is that playing at 12:25? I am obsessed!

[@tonywalker1954]

Same it sounds beautiful I want to know as well

[@CucuOnGames]

it's from the video "Lofi is Strange: True Colors" on the official LiS KZbin channel!

[@MadameAschaschi]

​@@CucuOnGames Thank you so much for sharing! 💜 Will most likely listen to it on repeat for a long time. ☺️

[@CucuOnGames]

@@MadameAschaschi it's great! they've got so many good tracks there too, the video is really long :)

[@FenjaWonderland]

I played the first episode of life is strange, then the first episode of life is strange 2 and decided on the second. It was amazing I really, really loved the story and feel in love with the characters! So I immediately played it again. I hope there are a lot others who loved it as much. It is thought we'll through even though the ending is in every scenario a bid sad.

[@AstralGodCelest]

First time im hearing about life is strange 2 getting hate , i thought it was beautiful

[@ItsKNL]

It's a polarizing game. Not afraid to be quiet, not afraid to be too loud, not afraid to be boring at points. It's a genuine artistic effort. Beautiful.

[@ikarikaoka]

I consider it ironic to think that the company is in a way cursed by the success of the first game in the franchise by living under its shadow and comparisons are inevitable with future projects. Even Max's power was more interesting and ambitious than her "future partners". I want to see that magic again, although I believe the "formula" is not easy. In my personal experience, I abandoned the second game in the final chapters because I was bored and uninterested. In the next title, I considered that the plot was lukewarm (zero surprises) and the game was shorter (at least I had that impression).

[@iloatheyoutoo]

Also, shout-out to Banishers, I'm currently Loving it.

[@ojishehe]

Life is strange 2 and before the storm are my favorites

[@o_o8662]

Have you played Gerda: A Flame in Winter?

[@CucuOnGames]

i haven't actually! i did mean to pick it up when it released, but life got away from me :p

[@o_o8662]

@@CucuOnGames life is strange, you know

[@xxcaptblastxx]

I think that life is strange 2 was better then the first one only b/c of how much i can relate to it and ngl i cryed at the end of it. I wish we could get more from that game like a spin off or somthing but life goes on if not it can just live ad one of the greatest story games out there.

[@chirduck]

honestly, LiS 2 is my favourite of all of them. It was beyond cruel and my heart still aches for Sean, but it touched me so deeply I can't even describe it. It's so sad that it got so little love from fandom. It's kind of ironical, really. as for "before the storm" imo it was unnecessary. it felt off for me right from the start and now I know why. for all my love to Max and her story, it really doesn't need full game as a sequel. their story is completely finished, it even has two different endings. hope dont nod will find their way to continue creating games without endless sequels

[@Anuyushi]

I'm a bit confused, wouldnt this be LIS 4?

[@UltimateGamer027]

There is a rumor that there will be another life is strange game coming that is supposedly going to be called Life Is Strange Aperture and will as the main character to be Max from the first life is strange or at least have her in it
