I don't have any real interest in these but people giving DONTNOD more money, I'm okay with; hoping they (considering how much they seem to genuinely care) would be able to expand upon the endings in the way they originally wanted to in the future if they prove successful in other markets.

Fantastic news! Glad I've waited to pick this up until after the entire game was available, I'll just get the physical release now then!
It sure was the most fantastic emotional rollercoaster I've been on this year.

I'm hearing positive things all around, this is making me excited to try it out.
I also can't wait for them to properly reveal ''Vampyr'', now that is one title I can't wait for.

Hope a retail version also gets a limited edition artbook, even if it's exclusive to Square Enix EU online store or something (or heck... even GAME exclusive)
What a turn around. And that vampire game that they announced at E3 has an incredible concept. Too bad it's so far away.

I sadly haven't gotten this yet, but at this point since it seems basically confirmed, I shall wait for the retail release. Game looks great and will love to play it soon.

Well wouldn't that be the dream. Square Enix seem to somewhat like Vita too.
Don't see it happening, though.

I would rather they skip the LE and just make a more substantial artbook for sale separately. They did one for Remember Me and it's great.

I'm happy for their success, because I really enjoyed Life is Strange. The final episode was a bit disappointing, but the game as a whole was great and I'll remember it fondly.
I won't buy it physically, but hope it does well for them.

All really great news, and well deserved too. The game was freakin fantastic and is definitely on my goty list. And i am all in in the physical edition with the soundtrack, hell add in an artbook while thier at it and i'll be there day one. Also season 2 is definitely all but confirm. With the square talking up it's sales awhile it would be dumb not to do a second season.
I'd double dip. Mostly just to support that game -- Although I really hope for a special edition with a soundtrack or an art book -- art book especially. I can just imagine the concept art for stuff like Chloe's room & the beached whales. That game has the best use of pallet in recent memory.

same, ill just give the license to my brotherI will doubledip for a nice disc copy of Life Is Strange
Agreed. Though UE3 has never been well optimized for the Vita.
I thought about what the next episode would be like and then I waited the 2-3 months while trying to pretend like the wait wasn't driving me insane.

I mainly want a post-mortem that explains the story before they had to start cutting content around episode 3.

will double dip for retail after I bought full season on day one
Include the soundtrack and you have another double-dipper here. I get to buy the CD and support DONTNOD.
I always had faith in them from the very beginning, even with Remember Me you can see their vision. Then everybody starting jumping on the bandwagon with LiS
Right after eps 4 I said this game would sell merch like crazy. Snow globe, doe with blue butterfly, Hawt Dog Man, various Max t-shirts, Rachel flannel, Rachel missing poster, Vortex club stuff, actual polaroid photo that Max entered in the EH contest, etc

I just bought the season due to Sony's spend 100$ get 15$ back deal, as well as a lot of people on GAF fawning over this game. I heard it was a little cringey but decided to give it a shot. I got myself a nice glass of Whiskey and finished episode 1. Holy, this game is great. While it's mostly highschool drama so far, I had a lot of fun playing as Max (awesome character, I really enjoy her so far).
I have a feeling it won't take me too long to power through the season. I'm glad it sold well.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Dude. The vita. We are reaching the end of 2015 soon.
Is there a list of music somewhere out there that was featured in the game? This talk of the soundtrack makes me want to just look up some of the stuff now.
Even if they cut that out, the way the story is told, it would still have that fractured feel to it since each episode has a clear beginning, middle and end. It's just how it was made.
As far as TV shows, though, a lot of the reason for that is crediting. While actors and producers are often the same from episode to episode, crew can change a lot from episode to episode.

II think the most amazing part of this is that Square Enix is HAPPY. They are the masters of comically huge sales targets and subsequent disappointment.
Either way it's a great game and it's kind of touching that it saved their studio from ruin after Remember Me (which was actually a cool game, but flawed).

Will double dip on mobile if it comes to it. I didn't think the story was bad, pretty good characters as well.
