There were some really good trailers over the weekend. Life is Strange: Double Exposure and Slitterhead were two others that looked great and interest me a lot. Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is probably the pick of the bunch overall for me. It is a top down stealth game set in early 1900s Scandinavia. Graphically it looks stunning, love the setting and the stealth gameplay looks highly impressive too. Got really high hopes for this.

Which of these mushroom NPCs do you want to see in my game? Tell me why in the comments!

[edit] i'm gonna rephrase this, but basically i'm getting some bullshot vibes off of the perfect dark footage. dunno if it's heavily-choreographed sequences or what, but somehow i'm getting flashbacks to the cyberpunk 2077 reveals. cinematic looking first-person actions that have a bespoke animation quality, tons of items with physics on countertops mid-gun-fight, these are all things i've seen before in pre-release footage.

i'd love to be wrong on this! but my spidey sense is tingling. if i am wrong it's basically the game i've been wanting: touch of deus ex, touch of mirror's edge.

Searching around and it seems a lot of ppl online agree it looks fake, don't think I'm imagining things here. That plus not even a year for release means who knows if this'll ever see the light of day [edit] I guess instead of being full-on bullshot, these could be key moments from a high-production intro mission, like a lot of games do, before it changes to much less bespoke gameplay

I regret to inform everyone that my autism has been activated. You will be educated about the clearly very easy to understand timeline of the Life is Strange series.

I elected not to include this because it's never confirmed, but I'm pretty sure the "Chloe and Rachel move to Cali" timeline follows up on the ending of Before the Storm where you choose to tell Rachel the truth about her mother, whereas the ending where you choose to hide the truth from her leads to the original Life is Strange.

In the original Life is Strange, Rachel is implied to have "betrayed" Chloe by hooking up with Frank and all but confirmed to have gone down a self-destructive spiral leading to her eventual fate, and I just don't really see that happening in a timeline where the events of Before the Storm culminate in her getting closure regarding her mother and getting together with Chloe.

... Or maybe I'm not supposed to think this hard about a video game series for teenagers.
