Afaik the comic is not canon, and LiS2 takes into account your decision at the end of the first game.
Same, but Chloe is a very popular character in the fanbase, so it's kind of a no-brainer to go that route instead.
I'm a Bay person, but I'll admit if the game looked good, I might give a Bae game a shot.
I fully acknowledge that I am a bad, selfish person and I celebrate the return of Queen Chloe.

trying to boil the end choice down to a trolley problem misses the fact that max and chloe had no way of knowing that it was actually going to work. yes, sacrificing one life for the sake of many may be the right call if you 100% know it's going to work. but for all they knew, the storm could happen even if max doesn't go back and undo her changes. or maybe you can avoid the storm if you go back, but you also have to let mr jefferson off in order to avoid the storm. i wouldn't take the risk of sacrificing someone to save others unless i was 100% certain it would work as in the actual trolley problem. i wouldn't sacrifice someone on a hunch.

It also acknowledges the Bay ending, so there's no true canon, it's just going based on what you picked at the end of the first game.
Haven't all the comics set after the game included Chloe being alive? Or have they said those aren't canon?
DAMN, I'm freaking loving EVERYTHING I'm reading :D
LiS is BAAAAAACK BABE :D
---> give LiS2 a disappointment look

It also acknowledges the "Bay" ending. It depends on what YOU chose.
If that's what the game actually was (the weight of those ramifications, survivor's guilt, that sort of thing) I could see it being interesting.
It's not, the game pulls in your save and you look out over Arcadia Bay in the first episode. If you saved it, it's intact. If you went with Chloe, it's a wreck.
EDIT: Admittedly I don't know what it defaults to if you don't bring in a save but I still wouldn't say that is canon.
Sounds very promising. High expectations from Deck9 after how good BTS was.
The truth.
I always felt like saving Chloe defeated the entire point of the game. It's like you didn't learn a thing.
If Chloe is still alive in a time skip, it can truly be called Mad Max because Nature has been wrecking the world in their wake still trying to kill Chloe lol
All that shit you go through in the game just to let her die and that shit town full of awful people survive? I think not. Bae over Bay.

LiS 2 was developed by Dontnod. Deck Nine's last game, LiS: Before the Storm, was developed on Unity.
I saved Chloe because the game didn't convince me that letting her die would fix anything. It was a guess and I don't think enough was tried to make it an educated one.
Can't say I'm all that down to see their stories continue with such a gap though. It may as well just be something completely new.

Chloe was one of those awful people.
Pretty sure Joyce was the only truly good person in that entire game.
I felt the opposite. To me, I thought saving her would just result in the same cycle happening over and over. It seemed to me that this was Max's realisation.
That third game sounds unique, I'd be down for that.
Personally, I'm not too keen on returning to Max & Chloe unless it's done in a very interesting way. I feel like the prequel and comic series has given us enough there and it would be odd for them to just kinda state one of the endings is wrong after all this time.

LiS3 sounds more interesting than LiS2 already and thank God the first one is coming to Switch. Need to replay it already.
LIS 3 sounds like a cool premise. I loved 1 and BTS but didn't really dig 2. I hope this is more of a return to form.
Please don't do this. Max and Chloe mean a lot to queer women such as myself and the first game is needlessly cruel.
Mind-reading has amazing potential.
Recently started LiS2. Only have one episode left but I've loved it so far. The reaction seemed mixed but it seems just as good as the first to me, aside from the power not being as useful. Whatever 3 ends up being I'll be there.

The D&D and The Tempest sequences in BtS are among my favorite moments in any Life is Strange game.
BtS which was the last game from Deck Nine was still Unity.
Dontnod who made LiS2 are not connected to the LiS franchise anymore
LiS 2 establishes living Chloe as the active timeline.
Edit: didn't realize it read your LiS 1 save, thought I read otherwise
LIS2's reference to LIS1's ending changes depending on what choices you made in 1. I believe if you dont have a LIS1 save it just picks a random ending.
LiS: BtS is the best one so I'm good with this.
I picked Bae because the logic for the Bay ending is practically nonexistent. They just drop it in your lap. I adored that game, but my decision was as much about caring for Chloe as it was actively revolting against the story shitting the bed right at the end. The cherry on top was being hinted at by a friend of mine that the only way to confirm the queer love story was to let Chloe die.
How does this indicate they listened to all the people hating on LiS2? Because it's a small town instead of a road trip?

If you liked LiS 2, I am certain that you'll like the next game. LiS 2 was my favorite game of the series as well.
Can't wait, the first game is one of my favorites of all time and I loved BtS and 2. Stinks that the original team will no longer work on the games but I enjoyed Tell Me Why and Vampyr, haven't played Twin Mirror but I will at some point.
Because if LiS4 is going back to the Chloe and Max story it will also probably be a small town story.
I could be just assuming, we shall see.
