Twin Mirror (PS4/XB1/PC) Just Announced (DONTNOD/Bandai Namco)
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
Thread rebooted. An inelegantly phrased post led to a food fight in the previous thread. Some fans of Dontnod really connected with the likes of Max Caulfield, and miss the novelty of a female protagonist. That's nothing worth getting worked up over, and it shouldn't become the focus of the thread. Please keep things civil and on topic.
The use of Twin in the title made me think of Twin Peaks. Really enjoyed Life is Strange so I am excited for this.
I'm skeptical but interested. I hated Life is Strange due to how much I utterly despised the characters and writing, but this is giving me a Twin Peaks feel and I'm a sucker for that.
I felt the voice acting was a little weird in this trailer.
I wonder if any of Dontond employees worked on Indigo Prohecy, considering we heard many of them worked at Quantic Dream before. I see a little bit of similarity between the two games but it's too little info to compare at this point.

I enjoyed Life is Strange despite having issues with most of the characters and the story. I also bought Remember Me, and LiS was clearly the better experience. I feel like they're close to achieving what I feel like they're capable of, and I'm looking forward to this.
I should say I haven't played Vampyr yet which I've heard a lot of good things about

Three teams. They've had two for a while (most of the studio on Vampyr, while a small one worked on Life is Strange/Life is Strange 2) but have apparently expanded enough that they can support a third one on this.
It looks pretty cool, though it's not quite a day one for me yet. I need to see more.
DONTNOD is day one to me. I love what they're doing with the success they found in Life is Strange.
Basically, not going the Telltale route, and just making the same experience over and over. They're actually trying different things, at higher budgets, and even playing with RPG systems and combat in Vampyr's case. They're using their success to find business opportunities to realize their creative visions, instead of just going for the safe money.
All of that while also still making a straight sequel, for the people who loved Life is Strange.
They deserve their success, and are shaping up to be a very important figure in the AA space.
Said this before the thread was rebooted, but this is basically what I hoped a Life is Strange 2 would be, so the fact that I get what I wanted and will still have whatever they're making for Life is Strange 2 is fantastic.

Completely. The whole "Oh no my shirt has blood and I don't remember anything".
Holy shit, getting intense Indigo Prophecy vibes. Hopefully this ends up more like the first half of that game than the second...
Dontnod are shaping up to be among my favorite AA developers. Life is Strange is fucking amazing, and I enjoyed Remember Me quite a bit too. Just bought Vampyr too, but haven't started it yet.

As long as I'm not a zombie fighting alien AIs at the end, I'm in. Dontnod makes games that I end up liking a lot more than I expected, and I trust them to keep doing that.
Twin Mirror Peaks looks good, right Zach?
Almost looks too much like the start of Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit.

I'm enjoying Vampyr now like hell its so addictive... and LiS is one of my favorite games in the last few years.
Dontnod has seriously earned my trust blindly day 1 by now.
I hope this means Life is Strange 2 will be at the Square Enix conference.
Keep in mind they have multiple teams/creative directors.
I'll keep my eye on this, because I desperately want more narrative-driven games along the lines of Life is Strange, but that game's ending kinda ruined the whole thing for me so it's hard to say that this excites me. The trailer also felt a bit bland to me.
The trailer shows the guy fighting a blue phantom, I think we already know the answer .
Yo this is right up my alley.
That looks like it's a memory or speculation being played in his head.
I loved both LiS and BTS, but DONTNOD (yes I know Decknine did BTS) really deserves a better animation budget to match their story telling abilities. The animators are clearly doing what they can with the allotted time frame/budget, but man does a lot of the movement look stiff. And everyone has that dead-faced look to them a lot of the time.
Give me strong Alan Wake vibe, not entirely sure why. Hopefully this is going to have an end.
Where is my Remember Me 2? : (

To shed some lights on Dontnod, roughly:
After Remember Me, a select few in the studio set out to do a game to expand the memory rewind sequences from RM, which many felt felt was the best part of the game. After a lot of trouble finding a publisher that led to Life is Strange. Since that was so successful, that small team started working on LiS2.
The Remember Me team, mostly intact, went on to do Vampyr with Focus. We don't know what their next project is.
The third team, working on this, is a complete mystery. No idea who is involved there.
And they have yet another project with a secret publisher.

It does look a little goofy at times, but so did Life is Strange and ultimately I loved it for that and how DONTNOD's sincerity shone through it. I'm in.
