- Aoife Wilson had a ton of questions about Life is Strange Before the Storm, but luckily she got to talk to lead writer, Deck Nine's Zak Garriss, during E3, about Chloe Price and Rachel Amber, about Max and about the Life is Strange timeline. We've also uncovered a few new facts about Life is Strange Before the Storm gameplay, about which characters won't be returning, and what locations will feature in Life is Strange Before the Storm Episode 1.

Hands up if you feel personally victimised by the fact Max never replied to Chloe's letters.
Eurogamer max was having her own problems. She made a few demons in Seattle and I'm not exactly sure why she never replied but I think max had probably let chloe be after the loss of her father. Let me know if you agree or not.
Also, I see that these episodes are going to be bigger thank the 1st game which will be really cool because there's only 3 + a bonus episode with max
Eurogamer Yeah reminds me of a friend of mine we have been friends for 15 years and now he dosent talk to me anymore for some reason, lol
OTT-OTT 1 talk to her again. Try. At least you have a friend whos a girl...
See, it is kinda shitty that Max didn't keep in touch, we all know that, but... you definitively said in the video (and I have heard the same elsewhere so I'm pretty confident in it) that Chloe never even sends any of those letters. How in the _hell_ can Max be blamed for not replying to letters she never received? I feel like you're mixing up a few things here, like literally 20 seconds after stating that the letters are all unsent you're all like "...and never getting a response, how could you Max?" I mean... what? That doesn't even make sense.
Listen again: "unanswered AND unsent." Some letters were sent, some were not, as Deck Nine themselves said in an archived stream on the Life is Strange channel.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed playing as Chloe more than I did playing Max. The heartbreak of Chloe’s past and her sarcastic, angst-driven personality is so genuine and intriguing. You say that Before The Storm creates a spitting image of just how alone she felt, and I agree. In some ways, Chloe is more interesting, and she’s always been my favorite character. She has her flaws, but that’s what makes her so real, and I think both voice actors did an excellent job at displaying her personality.
Samantha May me too
Samantha May same
Agreed
I like playing as chloe, but her story was bad.
While I do prefer the dynamic of the original game a bit more, I really enjoyed _Before the Storm,_ and I had a lot of fun getting into Chloe's head in the game. It's a shame that a lot of people can't stand her. Even though I'm a 30-something dude, I could appreciate the struggle of the character, and she reminded me a lot of some of the people I knew back when I was a teenager.
Nice list! :)
literally the official LiS channel lol how does this comment not have more upvotes?
Life Is Strange lit
we fucking love life is strange , kiss me
These guys are awesome, I sent them a message on FB with questions and just saying how much I loved the game and they answered me and thanked me for the support. Great company who actually cares about their fans :)
We need a 'Life is Strange: After the Storm' next!!!
I hope we still get to choose between Bacon Omelette and Belgian Waffle.
Cute Monster that was the hardest choice in my life
Cute Monster nah! Franks beans!
Cute Monster Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey
Obviously the beans
Oh my god thats a meme?
If only kate was in it.. Seeing her before most things happened would've been so nice
Zackary Pettit she might be in it.
MissKitty she's not the creator said something about it at an E3 interview
No reason for her to be in
Zackary Pettit ikr
water which is weird since Victoria and everyone else is still in school
"The ending won't be Rachel's disappearance"
*here from the future*
*cries*
:(
F
@Blessed People! Bro the game launched three years ago, get over yourself.
At least I'm glad I told Rachel the truth
@Blessed People! I'm just saying you can't complain about spoilers from a game released three years ago. Plus it was YOUR choice to watch this video which will very obviously contain spoilers.
My theory of their power:
Chloe(emotional)=Spirit of Dream
Rachel(anger problems)=Spirit of Fire
Max(appreciting moment)=Spirit of Time
Daniel
@@drakeWE20EUUU2I2DI2PI spirit of the gods
You're forgetting Daniel, and now Alex, who actually has the power of empathy and manipulating emotions
@@capturesintime639 Chaos Theory, there's really no reasonable explanation as to why anything happens.
"Just kiss." Girl same.
One of the graffiti sentences on the wall said "Don't touch my soul with dirty hands." Which is perhaps a reference to the ending song Spanish Sahara with the lyrics "Wipe you clean with dirty hands."
Good no Jeffershit.
Juliet Watson there is Nathan
Actually we could “hear” Jefferson, in the worst way possible :(
@@TheBee1470 Sure. But am I the only one to think he's still hot as hell, although knowing he's a fucking psychopath who kidnaps young women and kills them after some creepy photo sessions ? (Don't get me wrong, I hate him "with every fiber of my being" as Chloe would say, but... still xD he's hot).
@@katewalters210 chloe flirted with with him in life is strange tho
@@Alexei1950 sure, but she didn't know what he did to Rachel yet. Plus, she only uses this sentence with Joyce in Life is Strange : Before the Storm
They should of talked about Rachel's disappearance. I think that'd make the ending to 'before the storm' a lot more sadder.
TAS corruption
They could follow up with another game just about that.
my bet is this what they're planning. makes since they're probably seeing how successful this game will be and what the people will say about it. Before creating the events surrounded by the actually disappearances. At least that way if it flops 2/3 wont hurt them too badly financially
Why would you want to make it sadder then it already was? 😂😂
should of?
is it scottish for should have?
Can't get over how much i love rachel's personality & her style. Breaks my heart even more that she died & Chloe couldn't be with her.
Ashley Burch is doing the writing for the game but it's a different voice actor. in case anyone didn't know
Lucas Scott Why is she not playing the voice? She is already involved so why not do the voice?
Flamevectros11 Her union is on strike I believe.
There's a VA strike going on for not being paid residuals like they are in the rest of the entertainment world.
I get what shes doing but that sucks so fucking bad for anyone whos a fan of her or the lis series
It's just fucking stupid tbh
my theory is that they're lesbians and i'm going to cry over how much i love these girls and their relationship
Chloe almost certainly is. Rachel was straight. Max...I'm not sure.
Mike Rotch Max is straight?! You are hella naive.
Everyone in that game is either bi or pansexual. Even Frank had clues that he experimented with men.
Kiyoshi Kirishima I agree! Amberprice is painfully one-sided.
Angel Majao
Wait
Frank
How
"12 things you didn't know from Life is strange before the storm" basically everything because no one has playef the game yet
Well now they have 😅
I absolutely loved playing as Chloe. I understand her attitude and way of thinking so much more now that I've felt her pain and the connection she made with Rachel before losing her. I loved Rachel and playing this game makes the original so much more emotional!!!
"Just kiss"
Yes you said what we've been thinking
I already want to cry
Chee Rpgg same I'm trying to keep my tears in
Chee Rpgg yeah!!
Chee Rpgg For me, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME
Watch honest trailers of LiS, it will cheer you up.
I had no idea that they were going to use letters in place of keeping a diary. But I'm totally going to replicate the letters since I made a replica of Max's diary!
Aldantler Props really cool
Aldantler Props oh yes I saw on Twitter was that yours?
I don't have a Twitter, but that's be really cool if that was my diary floating about!
I saw your video and the diary looks amazing
I keep a journal that’s very heavily inspired by Max. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean, but if it is, it’s cool that I’m not the only one!
The crow isn't Chloe's totem/spirit animal ... Hers is the butterfly
Max: the doe
Chloe: the butterfly
Rachel: the blue jay
The crow/raven is a symbol of change, a bringer of death. Also associated with deception and mystery.
It most likely appears in this scene and on Chloe's T-shirt to foreshadow future events in the game.
Like the skull on her shirt in Chrysalis.
I think the crow is William, her dad
the doe was Rachles spirit leading max to her body.
I believe that Max and Rachel have the same spirit animal, because when Rachel disappear from Chloe's life, Max literally came in. Also, Chloe's spirit animal might have changed, since William(her dad) died, she got kicked out from Blackwell, and her mom married step-duch(David) , might be the reason why her spirit animal is crow, and after she changed her hair color into blue, after Rachel disappeared and Max came, her spirit animal changed into a butterfly. And the reason why butterfly, is because that was the first time Max used her powers to save Chloe, aka create the Butterfly effect, which messed up time and space so bad( we know from the game). Also I believe that crow was either Nathan's or Jefferson's spirit animal. Which make sense, because Crow's are scavengers, they mostly feed on dead organisms, like deer or Doe!(Rachel), because Nathan druged her, and gave her to Jefferson who later killed her, so it might make sense. What do you think?
Johny Dab I like it :D
Solid reasoning. Good job!
And it still bugs the crap out of me that the developers never explained this or Max's powers ...
So much wasted potential with the Tobanga ...
Leaving things a mystery doesn't necessarily make a game better, developers!
I actually think that Chloe has more of the blue jay symbolism seeing as how max has multiple options to rescue/save a blue jay from death just as she is constantly saving chloe from dying throughout the game
" There will be a lot of strangeness in before the storm ... maybe even a touch of the supernatural ".
HOLY SHIT this line already makes up a lot of theories in my head.
Okay so while I did enjoy the facts and all, I just couldn't get over the fact you used Daughter's music! I love Daughter, and barely anyone seems to know who they are
Discord Drowned honestly I don't know who they are but I will check them out
Discord Drowned the trailer of the pre sequel uses them too
They used that song because that's the song in the trailer. But I agree its awesome.
You know they're making the whole ost now right!! it's amazing! the first song is out: burn it down
I want to see frank eat "those beans" 😀
Lol she said "Just kisss" that is how I feel every time I see them together
6:05 Aahaha, I suspect we were all thinking it.
Rachel is so gorgeous
I'm still emotionally exhausted from this game
I'm in love with Max, I just wish I could meet somebody like her in the real world. I just perfectly fits my style.
They should have given the time power to Rachel, put her on the unavoidable path that led to her death, and as soon as she died -the power left her and entered Max. Boom, start of original game!
Eric Jennings no that would be to cheesy
Maybe you were right
😱 mind blown lmao
Uhhh i don't think the timeline will fit. Since Rachel have been dead for 6 months or so before LiS start.
There’s a theory that Rachel had powers related to all the elements which was why the storm happened after she died. No one was there to ‘watch over’ Mother Nature anymore. And because Rachel was so powerful, she gave Max the power to change someone’s fate > Chloe.
I wonder if the lack of time warping will take away from the game.
Nezeru the time travel is kinda what made the game unique, the story was good enough though
Nezeru I
Nezeru i feel like it will.It was my favourite thing:to choose a dumb response then go back and choose what i actually feel like i should choose lol
It will definitely change the game, the way you play it and the way it will feel, but I don't think it will take away from it. There are plenty of choice-based games and they weren't ruined by the fact that they didn't have the rewind mechanic (no, they were ruined by the fact that Telltale can't be bothered to make a good game instead of shameless cashgrabs with zero effort), if the story is good and the characters are intriguing then that's all that matters.
Also, there's this little tidbit from the features on steam: "‘Backtalk’ - A risk/reward conversation mode that allows Chloe to use her barbed tongue to provoke or get her way"
I honestly think a more high-stakes feeling and maybe sometimes getting stuck with a bad outcome (and being mad about it) is a lot more fitting for Chloe as a playable character. As long as it's well implemented I'm actually looking forward to it.
RedBlood GAMING
not really, tons of games did time traveling.
blinx
prince of persia
legend if zelda
braid
just to name a fe in fact the rewind if very much like blinx an old launch title on the x-box.
I wasn't sure about this initially because DONTNOD aren't involved in this but I'm definitely impressed by how thoughtfully-handled "Before the Storm" seems to be. Playing LiS and getting immersed in its story and characters got me through a really uncomfortable heatwave and all that's gone on still feels fresh in my mind so I hope this serves a great purpose to a story that was already very interesting. :)
all the lis games become more nostalgic after they end
"Just kiss....."
Literally me
i absolutely loved life is strange i can't wait till this one is released, i typically don't like games that require having to purchase episodes, but this is an exception
When is it coming out?
31st August
You purchase whole season, you can't get episodes one by one
Aizo with the ps3 version you can buy each episode for $4.99 each or all 5 for like $24.99
I'm really excited for this but it breaks my heart that kate won't be in it I love her so much and it would just be nice to see her happy before her sad story in the original game :(
chloe said she knew kate in episode one so she probably will be in it
6:06 literally me throughout the entire parts with Chloe and Rachel
win, epic win. I mean come on Daughter featuring in a video, that is always a win in my book! And it fits, life is strange featured awesome music aswell.
+Dimitri Schenk Numbers is actually featured in the reveal trailer for Before the Storm!
Fuck man!! Ashley Burch is what made Chloe amazing, Chloe won't ever be the same without her, I love Ashley Burch damnit !!!
Uh, relax. o.0
the doe is definitely Rachel
TheDudeSmashTrash duh
swaggot this commentator seems to think the doe is max
The doe symbolism represents a protector. There are 3 people who are represented by the doe, all of which are protectors of Chloe. Max, Rachel and William all have doe iconography linked to them in the narrative.
TheDudeSmashTrash no it cant be rachel. I have proof
Shinix
It is Rachel. It was confirmed. Also, it was made Apearant when it faded away after Rachel's body was found.
intrested to learn more about frank felt bad for him
Yeah, sad life man. Unintentionally become the reason why the one he love die.
9one yeah. It sucks that the one that he loved apparently thought that he was a loser and a liar and was being used for his stash. It’s weird how quickly that turned around when he unintentionally causes the death of Rachel Amber.
I am soo fucking excited for this game. I don't even mind the new voice actor for Chloe, I really feel like Deck Nine are fans and love the characters too and will be true to the LIS world.
I actually prefer the BtS voice actor for Chloe then in the original. I think the deeper, more monotone voice fits her personality at the time being still depressed by her father's passing and her still being more introverted and shy.
I love her deadpan delivery.
I honestly wish Deck Nine could take over the LiS franchise, the game just feels smoother and the dialogue's more natural. I mean, they hired Daughter to write original music that 100% fit the characters & moment as opposed to just buying the license for songs (BGMs aside). It shows their dedication to fleshing out the lore unlike Dontnod that left us with several unanswered questions by the end of LiS because they were in it for the shock factor.
No mosh pit for Dontnod :/
I can't wait to hear the soundtrack, I bet it's gonna be amazing. :)
Phoebe Gumm same
"Just kiss" ME TOO HSNSJNSJSKS
My big guess is that in episode 3.....Chloe will dye her hair
Yep
the doe is Rachel because it always comes up at mention of her and it watches as max and Chloe uncover Rachel's body. it also shows up in the tornado, which theories say Rachel started.
I always believe Rachel had some power. No matter how much it’s denied. Bc the way she screamed while the tree caught fire. So I do believe that Rachel could’ve started that tornado
This was the first game to make me cry😢😢😢
The ending dude 😔😔
I love that they're doing this, thank you
I can rewind with chloe ,, reload last checkpoint"
Next season should’ve been called Life is Strange : During The Storm to play as Rachel up until her disappearance
I personally made the choices according to Chloe's personnality. I always dive deeply in the games I play, and respect the characters
Looking forward to it!
Did anyone else tear up when they mentioned the letters and Max didn't reply?? :(
Chloe, I know how it feels to be ignored. I had friends in high school, one day. The next, I had none. They didn't talk to me, any more. To them, I didn't exist. I didn't even do anything to them. 😣
What I love about before the storm is that not only does it flesh out choes character a bit more, but it also makes the first game a lot more heart breaking, Because we did not really know who rachel was on the first game, She was just a face and we really did not have any feelings or opinions of our own about her, With before the storm we got to develop a connection with her and feelings about her in very much the same way Choe did, It makes playing the first life is strange more emotionally painful because of what happens to her and gives you a greater ability to empathize and understand chloe commitment to finding her.
I loved watching the eurogamer playthrough. Watching them and watching the game was so beautiful. Johnny early on saying that he wasn't sure at first but that they know what they're doing, and seeing Aiofe's reaction to Johnny crying was adorable.
An AMAZING LIST! I love this game so much and i can't wait to see how before the storm plays out
i'm so excited for this game! can't wait! also, nice video :)
Wow those were some very accurate predictions specially on number 10
1:48 That wrist rest 👌🏻
During the time of "Before the storm" it was 2012/2009 not sure, and obviously it bothered me but it made me glad.
this was lovely can't wait for it to come out I'm obsessed with LIS and more so obsessed with Chloe ...
It's actually a raven, not a crow. But nice video. I'm really excited for this game.
Nice to hear a familiar accent on UA-cam, good video Aoife
When I saw mark I rolled my eyes 😂🙄
She actually is writing a diary, she tried writing a letter to max, but couldn't get herself to send it. So she decided to write letter-like diary entrances.
I loved David's redemption. That was beautiful.
❤️❤️❤️thx
interesting :) im so hyped
I watched this playthrough long before i actually played it. It put me to tears back then, it put me to tears when i finally played it. Such a beautiful fucking game.
There were some things i managed to do differently than Johnny and Aiofe. I managed to save Rachel's mother, and encouraged Nathan, and that got him to fully commit to his role in the play, which was heartwarming, despite Nathan being a psychopath, it was nice to see him have a moment of joy and decency.
It's really clever how they made Chloe drop out in her Sophomore year, since "Sophomore" means "wise idiot." Chloe is stuck at this level of maturity and knowledge, more or less, and it explains her lack of [much] change from Before the Storm to Life is Strange
I love your voice/accent
I love your voice and accent!
Slight BtS spoilers below.
BtS really has it out for Max. I know the original game clearly said Max was bad at keeping in touch, but jeez. They make her out to be the worst. It'd be one thing if she just didn't contact Chloe, but Max flat out ignores her when she tries to text. Even disappearing mid-conversation the first couple times. That little bit instantly makes me dislike Max a bit, because I've had friends do that to me, and it sucks. I can't imagine how much worse it'd be with William's death on top of that.
In the first game I gave Max the benefit of doubt since it wasn't her decision to move. Plus I have horrible social anxiety, and am awkward as hell, so I know how hard it can be to message someone first, especially if they're going through something and you don't know what to say. BtS though, shows that she actively ignored Chloe. It would take seconds to reply. Even if she was busy, a late reply is better than no reply at all. Max just seems like a major dick now.
I think the next game will either be about mathan prescott leading up to the death of rachel, or its rachels POV. Either way, please make a S5
Rachel is so pretty!
Can't wait for season 2
but is samuel in it?
Riley Mahoney he's probably playing with squirrels somewhere...
Idk if you know this yet but yes he is in a scene and you get to talk talking to him too
Yeah he is. Could be episode 2
This makes me hate max, How chloe send her all these letters and she never replied
Marije - she said she was very busy and didn't have time
Marije - me too but I also have that same problem... I'm not good communication either
Juliet Watson nah if she really wanted to she could've taken 30 mins out of her day to write her back
Max could be in depression, closing herself from anyone. It happened to me, when all my friends moved away. I couldnt speak with them, even when they tried to contact me.
@@muzdravmachaka3647 I agree. Max isn't all bad, moving away from your best friend would really leave you feeling like crap. She may not know what to say or how to talk to Chloe. Plus, she acknowledged the fact that she messed up by not replying to Chloe's letters. :(
Awesome
I cannot wait. I pray that after 'Before The Storm', they continue on with the story for Season 1. Like add on to the story after the ending of Max and Chloe leaving Arcadia Bay maybe being able to figure out a way to save the town. This game is a masterpiece.
Theres one thing i already knew about life is strange before the storm is that its not out yet
i just thought: what is Rachel had powers too? and maybe she killed herself because she didn't think she could handle it but her soul did rewind time and put her body underground so people didn't know she killed herself and Chloe wouldn't think she wasn't a good enough of a friend. And that doe, maybe it's the last traveller through time, but i think is just ''the future Max'' making sure Max is oke
8:02 they absolutely nailed that!
Hey look. It's Luis from *Primal (PS2)* , (the guy in the white shirt). :D
I predict that Chloe will find a truck in the junk yard and will have to go on a little quest to fix it up.
Rachels spirit animal is the blue bird in life is strange so I think her spirit animal was different in before the storm (the black bird) and that her spirit animal changed because she met chloe
Woo, Colorado!
"the ending won't be Rachel's dissapearence"
so that was a fucking lie
And now the painful 8 weeks to episode 2 wait begins! :D
Max has always a dear on her Top
A doe is a female deer
Noo Kate I wish she was in it
will it even be good tho? because the first game is COMPLETELY based on time travel and this is before that
I love so much life is strange: before the strom
"Just kiss..!" 6:06
Same x)
shit I'm gonna side with my og character like Victoria and Nathan if they get in a problem 😂
im so happy that ashley is involved with everything still
Playing this is actually going to make me really think about things so much more. Not being able to rewind possible mistakes was one thing but knowing what is right or wrong is more subjective than ever now. Doing bad things might be the better choice when it comes to Chloe..whereas in other choice games its a bit too easy to be the good person and get the good ending. Like in Bioshock for example. It's obviously a good thing to save the little sisters and it's obviously the wrong thing to harvest them.
she is still playing at the tracks 😂😂
