Hopefully it will be playable before E3.
Man, if you've read the latest update, you can see the episodic thing did not work well for RTG. They could have planned this better, but holy shit Dreamfall: Chapters was a logistical nightmare for them. From having a key member being forced to take time off (paternal leave, as mandated by the gov't) to having to change engines midway, to losing contact with their important voice talents due to a death. It was some shoddy planning with even shoddier luck.
I really wished they would have just released this as one game, trim out the fat, add features in for a PS4 Port (update PC/Mac users via free update), etc.
RTG is mighty talented though. Can't wait to see their future projects.

Is this ever coming to consoles? OP says 2015 and here we are almost halfway into 2016.

Sounds like it's a worthy sequel to Dreamfall. Honestly. I'm just looking for some closure on the story, not even to answer every question, just enough to get a basic idea on what the big picture is. Haven't played it so far, was waiting for Episode 5, so I guess I'll also see how much of the negativity is actually warranted. Probably very little, since Tornquist is an incredibly talented writer.It doesn't help that the story has been very bad. Zoe part especially are a clusterfuck of bad pacing and "what the fuck is going on? What was the point of that?".
This whole thing has been a clusterfuck.
Hard for me to feel sorry for them when they choose to release a game that follows the expensive telltale formula rather than a more simple adventure game with a focus on puzzles like TLJ was.

I think I need to replay it start to finish when episode 5 comes out or shortly after. It's been coming out piecemeal so long that I barely remember most of the plot details, and it felt like episodes 2 and 3 didn't really go anywhere for the longest time, unfortunately.The first chapter was so promising. I love it love it love it.
Unfortunately, the rest of the game was hamstrung by budget shortfalls. I suppose they wanted to use revenue from the first chapter to build the rest of the game. Didn't really work out.
If you love Tornquist like I do, it's still worth playing. The voice acting and dialogue is mostly as good as anything in Dreamfall. The art design is excellent too.
Does this mean a PS4 release is coming?Release date for Book 5 announced.

It is hard to believe that it is almost over. The story felt like it was just beginning in the last episode.
Man, I hope so. On the 2nd of this month their twitter said PS4 version news is coming soon. The PSN blog post announcing the PS4 version is about 22 months old at this point.Does this mean a PS4 release is coming?

Thinking off
By the way, when do backers get their goodies? Have people received their boxes and artbooks yet? I was on the 75 digital tier but have only gotten the game so far.
Wondering if I should play through TLJ, Dreamfall and then this. It's been almost 10 years since I played them and they were really great experiences.

Awesome ending. Really enjoyed the journey. It's been a long time coming.
How long was the episode? Was it paced well?
It was a pretty good ending for both Dreamfall and The Longest Journey. And still sets up Longest Journey Home. But if they don't get to that anytime soon with all the other projects they have, I'm still pretty satisfied with where the series was left.
Kinda wonder how the entire game holds together if you play it all at once. I'll probably try it sometime eventually, but not anytime soon.
The one downside is with all the people and locations they have to cover in the endings there's a lot of load screens, which I'm really not used to these days.
One of the last stretch goals on their kickstarter was a second game called Longest Journey Home which would be a 2D follow up to April's story that's more in the style of the original game. They never reached that goal, but still plan to make it some day.The Longest Journey Home? Didn't realize they had another game planned, but there's definitely room for more stories to tell.
In my case I thinkAnd who is the baby daddy for Zoe? It says "we will never tell" lol. If it were Reza they could just show him? Or perhaps there's an alternate path where she has a different partner and they just didn't want to have two different scenes.

That's why the achievement when April and Crow walk away with each other is called The Longest Journey Home and says they're setting out for their final journey together.
In my case I thinkDid you do something different?it's because Zoe flirted with her psychiatrist but also never broke up with Reza.
