I don't think it's inherently bad writing to have characters use vocabulary like "hella," because I know people that really do use that seriously, but I hope that they stop talking like that in the future. It just seems a bit try-hard to me. I like angsty games, but when they're angsty and teen-like, it's easy to become cheap and irritating.

These are mere concerns. I'm quite interested in the games, so I plan to pick 'em up.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Will wait for the full season...

That teacher felt like a massive dick to me. Also, kept getting the feeling that he'll be

Spoiler

a really massive creep and force himself on the protag.

funny you say that, I get the exact same vibe I can already see the scene in my head

 

[Ricker]

I loved Remember Me but hated the rewind stuff with a passion,prevented me from finishing the game(got stuck on the car accident part) and just gave up...hope they are not as hard in this one...will try the demo for sure first before buying.

 

[Roto13]

Do they have a release schedule for each episode? If they are making it in Telltale time i would rather wait until the entire season is over, really hate the format if it's not on a weekly basis.

Your expectations are completely unrealistic.

I hope not, since that is exactly what would happen in a David Cage game.

The art direction is interesting, gameplay "à la" Quantic Dream, let's see if they bring something new to that genre.
There's something off with the textures in general (watched the vid in 1080/60). The lip sync clearly has a problem, or is it possible the game was created in another language than english?

Even though I love anything time related themes in general, will wait a bit before buying it, not really into episodic games in general.

 

[Messofanego]

Excited for this but won't touch the demo. Literally the only new game I'll play in January.

It's fairly likely considering Dontnod is based in Paris

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Very happy to hear there's going to be a demo. As hyped as I am for this, I still have some doubts/concerns.

Hopefully the demo clear those up...

Ah, ok then makes sense, didn't check that while I was typing my impressions.
Well will have to play this in French then^^

 

[infinit777]

I am ready for this game! I am debating watching this video though because i don't want to get anything spoiled.

 

[Vazra]

Loving the direction the game seems to have. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Bought it on GMG; going in mostly blind but I liked the sound and premise. Hope I'm not disappointed!

 

[normalmode]

After my video-recorded play through, I asked one of the Dontnod founders to sit down with me and watch my footage.

I just heard about this today. It's barely been mentioned, especially on IGN.

 

[JSoup]

It would be lovely if people would learn that gameplay videos are about the gameplay, not whatever commentary they prewrote.

 

[DVCY201]

The script is pretty awkward at points, like I can't imagine someone saying those actual lines. I find it weird that the teacher is angry that Max doesn't know Daguerre despite the fact that it's part of the assigned readings they haven't gone over yet, what a guy.

I'll pick it up though, it seems like dontnod fought to keep their original interpretation and that's commendable.

lol you caught 'em on that dialogue critique good

 

[Everdred]

I liked what I saw so I bought the season on Green Man for $14.

 

[Permanently A]

Lip sync is really jarring but I love the artstyle

 

[grosvenor_92]

I hope this turns out to be good and maybe I'll give the demo a try on PS3 or 360 since it's not coming to PC

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I just checked the video over on VideoGamer and it was the first I'd seen of the game. It looks pretty cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMkltUMbbL4

I went ahead and grabbed it from GMG since it was so heavily discounted.

 

[KTallguy]

I think I wanna try this.

 

[Corpekata]

That videogamer video implies Dontnod have a release schedule of every 6 weeks, for those curious.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

Grabbed the full season, because it looks interesting and DONTNOD are worth supporting.

 

[Rafterman]

Meh, will wait for the full season. I can't stand the episodic gaming model.

 

[pakkit]

I want this to be good, but the writing has me cringing early. I just don't think Dontnod has the writers necessary to sell this brand of realism. At least Remember Me was very outwardly gamey, so it's cliches were more permissible. But starting a game in a dream sequence light house? That's gaming trope 101.

 

[dreamfall]

I bought it on the cheap from GMG. Color me excited!

 

[flashtitan]

Very interesting based on what I've seen in the video, thanks for posting OP. Is anyone else bothered by the lip synch? Hopefully it isn't like that in the full version.

There is no French dub, only French text and interface.

What? Oh, then I have no idea what happened to the lip sync.

Anyone know when review embargo is up?

Wasn't the game always supposed to come out on the 30th?

 

[Slowdive]

Yeah.

 

[Visualante2]

Hope they release the first episode free in a few months in lieu of a PC demo. I'd like to try it.

stumbled across this game today; loved the memory remix mechanics in remember me, color me interested. Also it is pretty neat having the setting in* Oregon

Figured it would be set in the Northwest since they said inspired by Twin Peaks

 

[grosvenor_92]

Has there been any word on when reviews are going to go live ? I assume either Thursday or Friday.

 

[GavinUK86]

Interesting Reddit AMA. No QTE's sounds good to me.
