Life is Strange: Before the Storm features Chloe Price a 16 year-old rebel who forms an unlikely friendship with Rachel Amber, a beautiful and popular girl destined for success. When Rachel’s world is turned upside down by a family secret it takes their new found alliance to give each other the strength to overcome their demons. Available for pre-order on Steam, PSN and Xbox Live.
Life is Strange is an episodic interactive drama from DONTNOD Entertainment. Set in the Pacific Northwest in the town of Arcadia Bay, the player follows the story of Maxine Caulfield and her seemingly newfound ability to turn hella gay and rewind time.

I think Kate may be the one here with the rewind power...

Fingers cross we see Chloe or Rach beat the shit out of Nathan. One of the few good things Warren did. Regardless of mental issues and being manipulated, Nathan's still an asshole.
William Martinez
I actually think it's twitch exclusive, user. It's mentioned in their line-up, like, the Deck9 guys will sit on their couch and stuff.
Reminder: LiS:BtS new footage/info on twitchDOTtv/twitch in about an hour

our? are you hitting on us baitcuck?
Charles Ross
no cause then people will try to somehow justify nathan's actions in the orginal game
Parker Adams
It'll surely be uploaded elsewhere, after.
On Youtube?
Cameron Anderson
Chloe has a black eye here. Maybe if you attack the guys at the party the night before instead of choosing to run, she gets hit?
Chase Ramirez
Warryn's wannabe trying to be hero scene was still cringy though
Brandon Collins
Before Episode 5's release: >Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true >Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story >We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals.. >Jefferson knows about Max's powers >Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us >Victoria's with Max,she'll save her >(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave. >Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream >Blue Jay's Chloe
After Episode 5's release: >Mari's shitty cliche theory became right >We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS >Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney >David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers. >Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it. >Nathan get killed,Victoria too >Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it. >Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something. >Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time >Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name. >Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe >Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it. >Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch. >Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that. >The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it
Thomas Ward
Really can you show it
Caleb Evans
Okay first reference already spotted in the prequel: when Chloe steals the money in the trunk of the car, this car has "Locksley" written on her license plate. Locksley is obviously the birthplace of Robin Hood (sometimes even called Robin of Locksley). So giving the money to Franck or maybe keeping it to give it later to someone who really needs it? You know like "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor"?
Bentley Sanchez

Nathan Campbell
You cannot justify drugging girls and bringing them back to your room or bringing a loaded gun into school. Yeah, Chloe made a big mistake by trying to get money from him, but anyone who seriously justifies Nathan's actions is an idiot beyond help.
It may have been but it was still worth it.
Ian James
For now. That's the point. I have no doubt that Dontnod aren't planning any future Season 1 related stuff, but that's what they were saying before the prequel too. But it's their sure thing: if their upcoming titles underperform, it's their avenue for a bit of mostly-guaranteed cash. Even if Dontnod don't look at it that way, it seems as if Square does.
Landon Robinson
I removed some more polls but you still can find them in the archives, so don't worry.
Charles Wright
I'm sure someone will upload it to youtube eventually, but it could take hours.
twitch does not upload to youtube (last upload on their official channel is 1 year old). Maybe some news outlet will have the footage ready though.
...Wait, I found what appears to be a 1080p re-stream of the twitch stream on youtube gaming: aming.youtube.com/watch?v=qVBGZcNun_A
Here.
Benjamin Rivera
The farewell title is in regards to Max and Chloe. It's them saying goodbye for the five years they were apart. Still nothing planned where we will see them again, but if a prequel can be made then perhaps at some point in the future SE will authorize someone to make another episode with them.
Luke Wright
In the mill at least two assets have been re-used from LiS: the red truck just behind where the car nosedived (same one you took a picture of in LiS in the dinner) and the drunken girl was standing in front of the entrance of the end of the world party (she had glowing bracelets)

Uhm, now... here.

More realistic than Warryn s Also it looks so badass
Chase Scott
people will try that's whats sad
David Sullivan
for the person asking what was written on Chloe's hand "get to the Dand" (what does it mean?)
Cameron Johnson
Okay so note to not try to fight those two guys at the concert. Just let Rachel bean one of them in the head with a bottle.
Mason James
>2017 >Still defending Chloe.
Angel Bailey
Farewell episode takes LONG time before prequel so that title is showing their farewells towards fans But they are not gonna show Max's leaving for Seattle it will be about their happy moment,meeting with each other for the first time maybe
Carson Garcia
I think the much more likely reference there is the indie band Locksley, rather than the Robin Hood town or the Tennyson poem. In LiS all the license plates referenced TV and movies, now maybe it's all bands.
Also, the name of the band Chloe is seeing, 'Fire Walk', is a reference to David Lynch
Michael Adams
The raven is Chloe's spirit animal in this, it seems. Pretty... badass.
Jordan Allen
They can try to say Nathan is justified but they are still objectively wrong. Unless they are actual sociopaths and don't actually know any better because of a mental defect.
Evan Roberts
Chloe could shoot Kate in the face and people would still rush to her defense.
Lincoln Martin
"The butterfly is Chloe's spirit" fags btfo, not that it ever made sense
Luke Robinson
How is it possible for this prequel to have more than one ending?
Tyler Kelly

Chloe could mug and rape Victoria for drug money and their response would be "Well, bitch had it coming!"
Caleb Sanchez
>Get to the dance ... MISSI(NG?)(ON?)... chillax... gath", "g...
Is then what we have so far
Landon Gonzalez
The title hints to it being as Max leaves for Seattle. It can still be a happy moment of them saying goodbye and having hope they will stay in touch...which obviously doesn't happen. It's the last time they see each other until Episode 1. The day Chloe's first on her own and the start of everything we know about her past.
There's still a future to their story, which may be explored at some other point. If not, then at least we know they're alright.
Juan Taylor
Rachel is actually seen dancing in the moshpit when Chloe doesn't manage to make her way through the crowd
Cooper Bell
Butterfly is storm summoner and even those SE cuck confirmed it by themselves
Baycucks BTFO d
Jeremiah Carter
At this point it's not just 'the title hints', it's essentially confirmed to be the Seattle goodbye from the cover art, which shows 13-year-old Max and Chloe

In this it is the Raven. Some people were posting the meaning of it yesterday and how it's supposed to be a guardian through a large change in life but also with possibly ominous tones, but not always. In Season 1, I always saw her spirit animal as the Bluejay. If the butterfly is anyone's spirit animal then I see it as William's, but that's just my own gut feeling.
Mason Harris
And I am saying title foreshadows that Max an Chloe s appearance for the last time
Find me when farewell episode is out user. WE WILL SEE WHO IS RIGHT
Ayden Scott
Didn't you guys notice that?
Jordan Wright
>In Season 1, I always saw her spirit animal as the Bluejay.
Blue Jays, or Scrub Jays in the case of the LiS birb, and Ravens are both corvids. So, close enough.
Thomas Barnes
Okay I got it, it's "Get to the Band". Nothing fancy or mysterious, just her objective of the night...
Charles Nguyen
The raven is William though. I really wish it was a crow though so we can refer to The Crow series
Parker Sanders
I guess raven foreshadows supernatural things in town Could be that related with Rachel and Rachel's family again?
Luis Richardson
Is there a LiS equivalent of this?
Josiah Robinson
I fucking love that hardcore rocker outfit Rachel has. She is no poser. Chloe's outfit there looked awesome as well.
I heard we get to pick Chloe's clothes at some points. I hope we can eventually pick her trademark outfit. After she's gotten her ink of course. Which I hope we get to see her designing her tattoo.
Caleb Gutierrez
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right Which of Mari's theories were right?
That the ending would be a "save Chloe" vs "save the town" type thing was the default assumption for everyone from the very start. We were surprised at how dumb and directly-binary it was, but "letting Chloe die in the bathroom to stop the storm" was literally the day 1 assumption. It'd be cute to associate this with Mari.
The "Mari was right!" meme started shortly after Episode 4, in response to the fact that she had made a theory video about there being a "darker side" to Jefferson (a theory video which relied entirely on circumstantial bullshit and cherry picking ... which she even agreed with due to the fact that she titled it "A Baseless Accusation"). Part of the issue is that everyone had known for months prior to the reveal that Jefferson was the villain due to the various leaks.
The thing is, Mari threw out a *lot* of ideas. Her earlier theories were fine, due to the fact that she was scooping up the obvious bits and pieces, as well as taking ideas that other people had already posted and discussed from the subreddit, tumblr, etc. The only stuff she "got right" was from this sort of material. Even the Jefferson theory wasn't original at that point, there was a slew of theorising following Episode 2.
However, because she got a reputation for being a "theory" person, she seemingly felt the need to keep cranking them out, and she quickly started to scrape the bottom of the barrel. "Taylor has an eating disorder because she was brushing her teeth too late in the night", "Chloe is secretly transexual", "there was a graphical glitch when I looked at the lighthouse once, is it a hint from the devs?", "I misread the map of Blackwell which was a few feet behind me so I think there are impossible spaces inside the school, is Max messing up space-time?", etc, are just a few of the funnies from her later material.
If you throw out a lot of shit, some of it sticks, I guess.
Caleb Foster
There will be so many moments where I'll just want nothing more than for Max to hug her.
Julian Rogers
As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
I wonder if Rachel has dragon tattoo on her leg Or maybe they got tattoos together
Christopher Long
We already worked out the plot and endings in the previous thread user:
Bentley Allen
yeah but i dont have it saved i seen it on a facebook page
Lincoln Myers
damn people are already making fanart of the new game
Adam Cox
LIS IS NEXT
Colton Baker
Could it also explain why Chloe's air in the prequel is darker?
Grayson Wilson
Guys Rachel got disappeared 6 months ''before'' Max comes to Arcadia Bay,right?
Samuel Cooper
I just looked up Scrub Jays since I'm not a birb expert by any stretch of the imagination. They're so blue and pretty. I can see that being symbolic of Chloe.
Remember how Max consults her diary for post-it notes with her objectives? Seems like Chloe uses a marker and her hand for that. >She wipes her face with her palm >Black all over >Rachel laughs at her
It being William is also possibility since it seems like he will play a role in this. Something similar to the role Rachel played in Seas 1 (Someone gone from Chloe's life that Chloe is trying to come to terms with). Rachel's family was also mentioned as being special so I think they'll part of any Supernatural elements. Maybe a background battle of Ambers vs Prescotts.
Benjamin Ortiz
>The title hints to it being as Max leaves for Seattle. Not even the title, the image they're using to advertise it is of 2008 Max and Chloe from Season 1. Aside from maybe Williams funeral, there's nothing else that really fits in that time period, especially with the title.
It's going to be Max moving away for Seattle. That's all it really can be.
Nathaniel Hernandez
>April 22- Rachel goes missing >Late august/early september - Max moves back >October 7th - Game starts
Carson Wilson
user they said it will take place long time before the prequel,so more likely we are not gonna see seattle or her leaving
Cooper Bennett
NINE MINUTES UNTIL LIS
Logan Hall
I was trying to see if Rachel had her tattoos yet but she was wearing stuff that covered ankle. I could see her and Chloe getting one together. Considering how much Chloe's most likely cost, Rachel probably chipped in some money or had someone do her a favor.
Five months before Max comes back. Rachel disappeared six months before the start of the game, but Max had been at Blackwell for a month. (So if Rachel's spirit was hanging around and observing, she may have spotted Max and realized it was THAT Max that Chloe talked about. That's all a huge stretch right now though.)
Jacob Robinson
>tfw the voice acting might be awful again am I a masochist for watching this?
Thomas Walker
> the image they're using Can you post it here
Parker Jenkins
where can i watch
Cooper Edwards
I was wondering why it seemed a bit darker too, so I went back to look at some other pictures. I don't think it actually is. Even in Season 1 it's a little inconsistent about how blonde Chloe's natural hair is (pic related), but it's mostly a bit of a brownish/darkish blonde.
Of course, if new-Chloe's voice is a little different, there's no reason there couldn't be other subtle differences.
Chase Gutierrez
That's still a long time before the prequel. Max and Chloe were 13 and 14 when they separated. Chloe meets Rachel when she is 16, that's three years without Max. Chloe and Rachel were friends for around two years before Rachel died, and then six month after that is when Max and Chloe reunite.
Aiden Richardson
You will get to pick her classic outfit... if you buy the Deluxe Version! Buy It Now!
I really don't think we will follow her through the years. They've said it is not the story of Rachel's disappearance. They will be 16 for all of it and it will be a story of days. I mean, could you imagine how much more work it would be to change the characters and environments for every episode because they are skipping years?! Not only visually, but also the changes in personality and speech and stuff. That would be way too grand a challenge, especially for an amateur voice actress and a studio making their debut in this genre.
The concept art of her outfits shows she'll probably get a streak at some point, though. Curiously enough, she should have had that at her 16th birthday already, according to the photo in the transitions that coincides with her 16th birthday where she got the truck in the AU (I'm pretty sure it was mentioned that it was her 16th), but I guess they could just say it's her 17th. Makes no sense since the photos are supposed to depict the same point in time, but inconsistencies like that will probably happen.
The prequel is set a few *years* after Max has left. That's totally in line with what they said.
But seriously, I'm not sure if you're just trolling or not at this point. The only real option here is the farewell as Max moves away.
Isaiah Martin
I'm going to probably have the prequel in my mind as Chloe telling her story to Max. Even if it's shown in present time during the game, it was still in the past. Picture Chloe and Max sitting together in Max's Parents house in Seattle and Chloe telling Max about her time with Rachel. So if there's any really rough moments we see from Chloe's past, Max is right by her side to comfort her.
Matthew Thompson
IT'S HAPPENING
Jose Ward
no I wasn't trolling obviously sorry
I guess I need to re read its info
Aaron Richardson
Pic related.
Elijah Moore
just lower your expectations dudes, it's going to end up being the gameplay we've already seen
Benjamin Young
Set during the morning on Thursday of s1, which is why Max doesnt remember the story, she was dealing with katawa chloe
Owen Young
HAPPENING
Jace Cox
Remember, no Russian
Aaron Morris
I don't get it.
Isaac Morris
That's a nice, comforting thought. I will try to adopt it for me.
Tyler Davis
Arent Chloe's eyes meant to be blue?
Thomas Gomez
I'm glad it won't stretch to the end of Rachel's life. I don't really care much for seeing that or seeing Chloe suddenly panicking that Rachel has disappeared. I remember the blue streak in her hair in the photo as well. Her birthday is in March and we don't know when all this takes place so it would have been months since then, her original blue streak could have been faded/washed out. I'm not going to hang on tiny details like that.
What really has my attention is what the multiple endings could be. Obviously it won't change anything in the grand scheme of things. I think it will have something to do with their plans for LA or maybe even to go Seattle and see Max, but in both cases something stops them but it would set an idea which girl Chloe was more dedicated to in that time. I think some small Max vs Rachel moments will appear in the game. Obviously I'd have to side with Max.
