Some different things here and there, and different colors...yeah remastered! :/

 

[Erebus]

So now we are remastering games that are not even a decade old?

 

[Sacred]

Loved this series although the new game looks terrible. However, this is the worst remaster I have ever seen.

 

[AlteredForms]

Purchased these games in December in the hopes of playing them and news of this came out a month or so later. You can imagine the disappointment and the attempts of refunding were the exactly the same. That being said, £37 for rudimentary visuals and tweaks and no discount for existing owners? Dontnod were about to close up shop when gamers bailed them out so I'm surprised to see them milk the community.

Remastering a PS4 game for the PS4. Fucking lol

Max actually learned to put make up and look sorta attractive.

 

[Lupin3]

At least there was no crunch needed for this remaster.

Dontnod dont own the rights to LiS. This is Square wanting more money to fund more final fantasy. Chaos!

LOL you’re fucking with me right? I know it was cross gen but get the fuck outta here with this shit

 

[RaZoR No1]

the improvements are soo minimal..

biggest difference was, that the remaster was darker and the hair had more detail/edgy, but the old one looked better (softer)

 

[matty3092]

Loved the 1st series of LiS but this doesn't even look different and no I don't want to play this game again so soon after the original release. LiS BTS is trash also

Take a look at the trailer for a look at Chloe's bedroom cutscene from the original 2015 Life is Strange as compared to the upcoming Life is Strange: Remastered Collection.

The Life is Strange Remastered Collection includes Life is Strange Remastered and Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered, and features remastered visuals across characters and environments, updated and refined gameplay puzzles, and more.

The Life is Strange Remastered Collection launches on Stadia, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 1, 2022.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Pretty underwhelming in terms of rendering improvements, but the faces/facial animation do look a lot better.

 

[mckmas8808]

This is 100% a waste of time. WTH?!

 

[winjer]

There is a lot more shadows all around. Characters and objects seem more realistic and grounded in space. But the room ends u looking much darker than before.
Facial animations are better, but still nothing amazing.
I noticed some use of global illumination, probably pre-baked. You can notice this in the window with the flag, now there´s a lot of red bleeding unto the walls.
Eyes are a much improved. They seem to have higher resolution for pupils and better reflections. But nothing like RTX reflections.
Texture detail and models seem to be the same. Or very close to the original.

On the one hand this means the game looks and feels like the original. But on the other hand, it gives little reason to buy this remaster, if you already own the original.

[bravoguy]

Is it out physical?

 

[Farawayfromhell]

I love the series, but for those who are the contents there was no need for a remastered. It is the story that is the protagonist, certainly not the graphics.

 

[bravoguy]

Is it digital only ?
