The second one would be "Before The Storm", I assume. Is not it technically more like a spin off, as Captain Spirit? Maybe it would be more correct to say "It will be second main entry of the Life Is Strange series". Lone Internaut (talk) 04:52, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure Captain Spirit could be considered a spin-off, considering it was marketed as a demo, and released as a prequel... (Which, technically takes place during LIS2. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

According to several articles[1][2][3][4] Sean is 16, however there seems to be a dispute regarding is age, with many insisting that he is 17. I haven't played the game yet, is he said to be that age in the game? The Life Is Strange Wiki[5] is also not decisive on the case. Lordtobi (✉) 08:03, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

It's set in October 2016 and Sean has an ID card that gives his DOB as some time in May 2000, so he's 16. Will Bradshaw (talk) 15:10, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
It's even said in Dialogue. The Dad specifically calls him 16. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:03, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Huh? If it's so obvious, why did multiple people change it to 17? Lordtobi (✉) 09:06, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
His official date of birth is August 15th, 2000, and the game takes place in October, 2016. However, I believe a newspaper clipping somewhere has his age down at 17, which is where the confusion lies. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
The specific age is irrelevant to understanding the plot. Cognissonance (talk) 04:29, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
I disagree. His age is quite important, not only for factual accuracy of the article, but because it's important that Sean is underage.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:13, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

As much as I am British, and thus prefer to use British English wherever I can, is there any reason why this article is tagged for British English? The game itself is set in the United States, and the developer is French. I can't see any connection to Britain here.

BE is the one used first, so it's mostly NATRET(?)/STYLERET. I tagged the article when people started changing "behaviour" -> "behavior". Lordtobi (✉) 13:55, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
Isn't this mostly to be used when there are no guidelines in place for style? It just seemed odd to me. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:00, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
I used British English in Life Is Strange because Dontnod is in Europe. Used the same spelling in Before the Storm and Captain Spirit because the first article used it, even though Deck Nine is in America. No reason not to use it here too. Cognissonance (talk) 04:26, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I work for Feral Interactive, the company bringing Life is Strange 2 to macOS and Linux. My conflict of interest is disclosed in my bio and my edits are intended to ensure factual correctness. I understand that editors of this page may not wish me to make edits due to my conflict of interest.
Please note, the following line is not in keeping with what has been officially announced about the macOS and Linux version:

"The finished series will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019."

We have purposefully not stated which episodes will be released for macOS/Linux in 2019 because this is TBD. Keep in mind that that there is no information about when the game will be finished on any platform. I suggest the official macOS/Linux wording:

"Life is Strange 2 will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019."

If you would like to be specific about episodes, I suggest:

"Episode 1 will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019, with release plans for other episodes to be announced later."

Thank you for declaring your WP:COI Feral steph. I've made a change which is somewhere in the middle. Hopefully it is suitable. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

I removed these accolades. They are really not notable, and outwith policy, and at the same time promotional. scope_creep (talk) 20:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi @OceanHok:, appreciate someone experienced looking over this article again. The previous game articles were primarily written by the same people and all passed "good article" status. I would like the article styles to stay consistent, so I think these should easer be applied to the previous "good articles" too or be reverted. Specifically:

Feral as EFN note
Collapsed 5 release dates in infobox
Decapitalized 'is' (see discussions on the talk pages and VG talk)
Table for 5 release date

@OceanHok: After checking your changes; You have split the reception paragraphs into story and storytelling, which seems non-standard. You have also removed per episode reception and the reception summary, which are part of all the previous games articles. Also you have removed awards, which were reported by notable sources. While the section was in need of a rewrite before, it looks to me like this is still the case after these unconventional changes. IgelRM (talk) 04:27, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

@IgelRM: - Hi! For this article, I mostly follow the format of Hitman (2016 video game), which is a GA I have worked on before. I don't think there is a need to standardized or be consistent though, because these are quite trivial (i.e. they won't affect whether an article becomes GA or not), and different editors have different preferences, and there isn't a correct one. I don't think I have decapitalized "is" in my rewrite. For some of the awards, they are simply not notable/not reported widely by reliable secondary sources. I think ultimately, even as an episodic game, it makes more sense to view this as a complete product, so I only focus on reviews of the Complete Season. If there is an episode that is particularly well-received or poorly received, then I may follow the old format, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. OceanHok (talk) 11:43, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
OK, I can follow your reasoning. But I have brought some points over to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Episodic_reception,_notability_of_awards_and_regional_releases. IgelRM (talk) 03:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I'll get to this soon. ♦ jaguar 14:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
I must congratulate you, OceanHok, the impeccable prose and structuring of this article leaves me no choice but to give it an outright pass. I couldn't find any issues to raise, no matter how minor. It is well written, comprehensive and all the references are correctly formatted and reliable. I can understand why you haven't included reviewer scores in the reception box as it would squash the text too much, though if you did take this to FAC some people may request that you add them in. Wish I had more to say, but this deserves its GA status.  ♦ jaguar 21:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Very late, but I would like to congratulate as well, OceanHok. IgelRM (talk) 10:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Life Is Strange which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  —RMCD bot 18:51, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
