Life is Strange is the evolution TTG should have made...

I know we have a new CEO in place. Does that mean a new engine as well?

    What?

    Would gladly welcome ~3 hour long episodes, hubs and a game engine that isn't held together by duct tape.

    In some ways, yes, but in a lot of ways, no.

    It's not really a new CEO, it's their same CEO from before Bruner

    What is the point of this thread?

    Yes, but no.
    Yes in that there are a lot of hubs, many things to interact with, and the "small choices" (aka "the sub-plots") actually develop quite a bit over the course of the season, and have their own resolution (sort of).

    I'd say no, because I find that Life is Strange takes the dialogue prompts to a new low. They aren't as prominent as in Telltale games, and are either used to initiate conversation between Max and a person, or feel tacked on or disjointed in scripted sequences. Without the timer, it feels like it'll have not much of an effect. I can just wait there for as long as I need, and can rewind after it has been done, negating whatever I did and ensuring I get the "best path" where everyone loves me.

    For hubs, interaction, dialogue trees, smaller choices, and art design: yes.

    For the actual dialogue: no.

    Yeah but no.

    Problem between LIS and TTGs is that Telltale Games are set in scenarios which the players cannot remotely relate to whilst LIS tried to relate to the audience by addressing a multitude of issues. This already means that a lot of the things which arguably were done great in LIS cannot be tranferred over to any of the Telltale Games.

    I'd genuinely like a game which doesnt negate our choices or make them much minor than they appeared to be. I want to play a game from TTG where the playthrough can vary drastically and that I WONT necessarily always have a playthrough similar to others. This of course doesn't mean that the plot which is being delivered has to be changed but for the journey to the end to feel different.

    However it's just not the sort of thing TTG do.
