Rumor: Deck Nine's new narrative game for E3 is a Life Is Strange prequel

Chloe was the weakest part of LiS for me unfortunately, since they clearly intended for us to love her.
But my hype for Rachel is overtaking me. I'm so excited for her to finally have a voice and a character.

Prequel? Ugh.

listen to the mad man
Narrative driven prequels are almost always bad and even more commonly superfluous. Idol Minds don't have a great track record. I can't blame Square Enix for wanting to exploit the hell out of a successful IP but I am skeptical.

I approve of everything Life is Strange. I think a prequel could work, but we'll have to see. Either way, like just shut up and take my money.

I guess I liked Chloe more than the average person did, happy to play through more of her story as long as another LIS is still coming too.

I feel like this should be DLC rather than an actual game.

Boy, people will be pessimistic and negative about anything, won't they?
Sequel to LiS is announced. Oh boy!
Bonus prequel is announced. A game IN ADDITION to the sequel we're already getting. Boo, prequels suck! I hate Chloe! Why are they making this?
It's a side story, not the main sequel.

Which ending
explained how Max got her powers? Or why saving Chloe fucked up the timeline but saving Kate didn't?

The beauty of the first season of LiS was how it mirrored a show like Twin Peaks, by going in to how this girl who was dead/missing may not have been the angel people thought she was. A prequel trying to fill in the blanks of Rachel's past is rather pointless since the audience knows all they need to for understanding Rachel and her relationship with Chloe in the context of her disappearance and death.

Maybe it won't be a prequel prequel, instead set in an alternate timeline where Chloe got the powers instead, or different powers? Not sure I'd be interested without a Scifi hook, tbh.

Not Chloe again. Anyone but Chloe...
Bae in the bay
I agree. It isn't LiS without supernatural/sci-fi. There needs to be something.

I don't see why not
explaining how Max got her powers
In regards to saving Chloe vs saving Kate, the whole thing starts with Chloe dying, and everytime Max prevents it she just ends up being put in other situations where she's going to die. Kate didn't matter: the whole thing was that using her powers to save Chloe started the screw up.
Presumably if Max would've killed Nathan in the toilets somehow before he killed Chloe, that would've been a death that would cause the timeline to mess up, because it was directly preventing Chloe from dying.

Max's interference with time directly prevented Kate from dying. In the Bay ending, Max lets Chloe die, and Kate lives. In that ending, Kate should either be dead or also kick off the storm.

K probs this:
Rachel has powers that she uses to get everyone to like her. Maybe it's time travel like Max, and she gets it through doing some weird shit with Chloe. (Probably involving the tiki/deer/whateverthefuck)
Then we go Death Note and it messes up her timeline so by trying to come off as amazing to everyone, she overuses that shit and loses them when she needs them most. Or whatevs.
I don't really want a prequel.

I don't think i'm happy about this. I kinda wanted someone new with similar powers to Max
There's the sequel It Will be 2 games afaik

Absolutely love LiS. But we'll see about this...
This. The fact that Rachel didn't have powers in the end pleasantly surprised even thought what truly happened to her was horrible. I liked the fact that was mostly shrouded in mystery. I also didn't like Chloe so I don't know how to feel about this.

I know, but I was kinda of hoping for someone new. Maybe you find out this power moves from someone else, and it leads to Max without directly involving Chloe and them. A prequel with Rachel and Chloe makes sense, but when you know the ending is leading to the first game, you know your end decision won't matter (unless they retcon it)

I think this is a good idea.
I think this is a good idea.
Chloe dying is what happens when the timeline is unmolested, meaning Kate living is supposed to happen. Thats the whole point. Once Chloe's body is discovered and Nathan is found out to be the killer (and he's way too rattled to not get caught) then he blows the whole lid off the Mr Jefferson thing and Rachel's body gets found. Max preventing Chloe from dying fucked all of that up and more, which is why time sent a tornado to kill everyone.
It's a smart idea. Outside of Gaf there's a ton of fans that didn't want a new setting and cast. It now makes sense why DONTNOD announced they were making a sequel, so that fans that wanted a new setting and cast aren't turned off immediately. We're getting two things and that's great.
Your avatar... lol. "Damn, if that wasn't my momma."
Oh, so we're still getting the sequel? Perfect.

Seems more like DLC to the first game rather than being a whole new seperate entity.
Hopefully the sequel DontNod develops features a new setting and characters.
I'm still day one for both because I like adventures games that don't freeze every 10 minutes

non subtle NOD to Telltale's crap engine, and a pun it's twofor!
I doubt a different developer is making their first endevour of their relaunch be a DLC episode to a game that's two years old. Plus the artwork says "EP1"

Exactly DLC episode number 1!
It isn't a smart business move to brand it as anything other than a new game.

More LiS, not going to say no to that! This is going to be hella lit.

deck nine doing a life is strange game is good, them doing a life is strange game with the original characters is bad
You make it sound like people interested in a sequel with different characters yet not about beating a dead horse with an unnecessary prequel is somehow hypocritical, and it's not. Get outta here with your "it's other people who are wrong" mentality.
