Life is Strange Remastered Collection FULL GRAPHICS COMPARISON |  

Congratss

Gratulacje

This video might give you false impression that the Remaster is worth buying. It isn't! I bought so you don't have to copy my big mistake. They introduced so many technical problems that is beyond believe. Where original game has NONE. So many broken scenes where Chloe is a talking zombie, many scenes are overly darkened, others overly brighten. BTS Chapter 3 is especially broken. Poor optimization on XSX especially BTS.

yeah, max always had that beaten up college student look to her bc her eyes always looked tired and i liked that. kinda upset that they changed it, that old look fit her character better I think

@@jumpinthecadillac9507 completely agree

I have to disagree. The one thing turning me away from LIS were it’s bad graphics. I recently found out about the original via True Colors, and when looking at the original I truly thought that it was made in 2009. The eyes were super off putting and the redness around everyone’s eyes is just kind of gross.

Agreeddd

It’s the lack of horsepower and tech, nothing to do with giving a feeling or “vibeee”

Agreed it feels like alot of the artstyle and Lightning just disapeared :(

I agree, a lot of things look too soft and blended together. in some scenes the original clip looks better than the remastered.

Life is strange...even in games..

Yeah, I noticed! And it’s sad because it looks so cute. . . But overall, the game still looks amazing. The hair, expressions, some objects look way better. . . it looks great, honestly!

@@flyingtacos_2004 Agreed. She looks super cute with her freckles.... I'm still hype for the game though.

I like the poker face.

No

Yeah , she even look prettier on the og.

true

Her face looks almost, too smooth? Idk her eyes and nose look different

then get the original

“sounds?”

@@C-Jay7 "sounds!"

@@MarcioFoxx they sound the same

@@C-Jay7 On the contrary, In reality, he's tiny braincells can't even comprehend the quarter of the procedure. XD Only reason he says this, is because he want's to avoid his post LIS-syndrome and not to play the game again.

👁👅👁

@@Nutellix 👁👄👁

Boss - We need something new to add to this game Janitor - How about we give everyone anime sized eyes despite this not being an anime Game Designer - What? Boss - Janitor, who’s name I forgot you’re a god damn genius 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yeah expecially Chloe's eyes look very weird in some scenes... I hope it doesn't stay that way!

Apparently they fixed it with some updated screenshots! The trailer that came out of the remastered version is from a version from years ago that wasn't complete yet, so I'm sure the bugs like eyes being too clear or a little unrealistic/weird have been fixed!

i’m assuming that they’re still working on lighting and textures. i think that’s what they would do last. animations and mocap definitely took up a lot of the production time.

Apparently this trailer was made to be shown at last years E3 which was cancelled, so they may have refined it a lot more since then

@Bobs Nuts Genuine question, what did you dislike about the game?

@Bobs Nuts bruh ur just hating for no reason lol.

@Bobs Nuts yeah but u just said the original game was bad too

Yeah when I rewatched it a week ago it felt Soo low quality then what I remembered!

yeah that happens a lot with old games, at the time we were like "omg the quality is amazing" but then technology advances and it's not so amazing anymore... anyways, i remember it looked great when it came out

@@vaneabarca I think it also might be because of how immersed we are in the game so our brain kinda just "fills in the gap" for those memories to match how the experience felt at the time

@@vaneabarcaThat’s how it was for me for San Andreas. I used to play it as a kid and a few years ago, I went to play it again, but on my new PC and was so surprised about how low quality it looked.

don’t worry, i’m sure it’s an earlier build of the game using footage captured mid-development. otherwise it wouldn’t make sense why the screenshots are better.

@@amit-ue6gd which screenshots? I would love to see them!!

@@amit-ue6gd Thank you!

@@amit-ue6gd Thanks for the link, you're a champion.

@@amit-ue6gd This comment looks like something I would write. Goes to show that I saw this comment and liked how you wrote it with the "Don't worry". Sorry for stealing your ideas but it matches me. But I agree still it's Probably from an older build.

From the speculation I’ve read, the footage in the trailer is from earlier builds of the remasters. If you look at the new screenshots, they’re noticeably better, particularly Rachel sitting inside the truck as you can compare the image and trailer side by side.

Btw are they gonna fix the final Max and Waren? I forgot his name's Dialouge with the lips. They were not moving at all.

@@MariusBoss11458 Given how they're overhauling all the lip syncing and facial animation, I would assume yes.

@@joeymag593 That's good. Was so damn weird.

true looks more better now

That’s strange in the videos I’ve seen the characters are very robotic and lifeless. Idk. I just liked the original. Don’t know why they have to mess with perfection.

For me, the original nails the overall aesthetic. Yeah, there was jankiness with regards to lipsyncing and other things, but it made up for that with artistic style and unique presentation. In certain scenes, the remastered version really delivers with facial animations being more emotive, and expressive, but the artistic style has been replaced with something that tries to look more... realistic. And again, while certain parts of the game are elevated, the loss of the watercolor look, as well as the handcrafted presentation... it just disappoints me greatly. That's also not to mention the unpolished nature of the remaster, with audio bugs, and certain things that seem worse compared to the original, like environmental lighting. It seems like the lightmaps and shadowmaps that they used for the remaster just seem less..detailed. The look of the lighting on the characters might look better but if you're paying attention, the environments just seem half-assed and extremely unpolished, and once you see that... it's extremely noticeable and disappointing. I don't mind supporting the developers at Deck Nine/Dontnod but... had I not purchased the original on sale on a lark years ago, I would have refunded my remastered purchase. It doesn't feel like a remaster with additions and improvements. To me, it feels like they took a look at certain iconic scenes and elevated them, but really half-assed the rest of the game. What would've been better is a... Director's Cut or a Definitive Edition with the improved facial animations and scene touches, combined with the original presentation. To label it as a "remaster" is just.. insulting, and it hurts me to say as much.

@@Brswing I agree with this completely. This is basically what I wanted to say 😅 I did not have the language for it. And I haven’t played it only the original. One of these days I’m taking a month off and playing the heck out of it.

for OGs the original is better. maybe for newbs is remastered

That's what I saw too, and i think they also changed some other characters facial shaoe instead of just building off of what they got

In some scenes I definitely feel like they changed Maxs appearance too much, still recognisable but weirdly different

And they took away some of her freckles too 😔

@@SailorDreamer oh no, not the freckles

At 1:14 you can tell the eyes are the same shape, it just doesn't look like her bc her freckles are almost invisible and she has pale ass lips for some reason fjfjdj

warren looks so cute lol

Nathan scares me,I love it

@@lautarocony cause he actually has facial expressions now lol

@@ajbratley9082 Yeah but look at his teeth if he in the original version scratches Max's face in that scene this time he is gonna bite her cheeks off (that sounds bad)

And that's a real feat with Nathan considering.

@@Ricardo29j Well of course they look good because it's on their website. I have no doubt that the dev's will do a good job but the remastered is still lacking. For example in the og ver when max was standing under the rain she looks drenched in water while in the remastered ver she looks much more dry. Or when Chloe and Rachel were on the stage the lighting in the og looks much more realistic. It's the little things

@@Mr.misterr To be fair though realistically speaking people are not THAT reflective under rain. Especially the other materials like the straps and her shirt.

@@Mr.misterr it’s an older build. There were sone lighting issues and it was made to be shown in last years E3.

@@lol-ot4pn Idk about you but under a thunder storm you can be pretty reflective lmao.

@@perdasche What do you mean my dear person?

IT LOOKS SO BADJGJSJDA

The remastered looks like a PS2 sims 1 character lol

The original looks so much better than remaster

looks better, but now we have shine in the eyes jajaja i love both

It's still in early development there i guess

Imo, it needs a couple of more years before they can get everything right. The remaster looks quite rushed.

@Kepler 186-F Hello!

Yeah I feel like Max doesn’t even look like Max

@@whoislouise1750 right especially at 0:57 like wtf did they do she looks so weird

@@Mordecai-qv6sh that had to be the worst one lol. I hope they tweak this a lot before launch.

Same v_v

You can still see them. I’m sure this is fixed once the final product is done. It’s delayed so it’s not like they won’t finish or make more touch ups. The freckles are still visible though

@@buckeyes2387 Yeah, I am glad they are taking more time to remaster it and I am glad this isn't what the final product will look like.

hope for the best

And the lips too... I prefer the old lips

@@M4th3u54ndr4d3 literally what? the lips synch is SO MUCH better in the remaster, its not even funny. hell, the lips actually move with the words

@@thahoule7924 maybe they meant the actual lips

same it will take some time for me to get used to Max's bright, shiny big blue eyes hahaha, somehow I found the original eyes were a better fit

I agree, it looks absolutely amazing, i was literally scrolling through the comments and looking for someone mentioning that pic

on va avoir le cœur encore plus brisé 😱😱😱

Their expression looks more realistic now

thats exactly what i was thinking, not much of a remaster but i guess they didn't want to make any big changes

true lol

I think the example clip in the remastered are from like beta that is not final release

@@grey.god59 exactly blame the little emotional fanboys that complain anytime a developer decides to enhance a game because of their selfish nostalgia

Completely

Damn dude you're right! I'm actually taken a back by it

Wonder why it needed a remaster for this. Almost as if the original was produced by some french hacks who can't animate for shit.

Hmmmm You better be right bro >:C xd But seriously, where did you find that theory?

The same happened with Steel Wool Studios with Fnaf Security Breach. So this theory is probably right. I think an bunch of games used early footage for their trailers. I think the final product will be much better than the one presented.

Oh

I saw the screenshot of Nathan and it genuinely looks photoshopped. I hope it's not but I gotta be honest. It'll be interesting to compare when the remaster launches.

@@free_h2o142 I'm pretty sure they can't be faked. In that Rachel screenshot, if you compare it to the trailer, you can see her earring is now in the correct orientation, and there are some wooden planks in the background that are gone. You can't do that with an image editing software, they had to go in the game engine, and change manually the stuff there, click on the planks, click delete, click on the earring, and rotate it. But for the sake of the argument, let's say these could've been faked with Photoshop, but at that point, wouldn't it be harder to fake them with that, than go into the engine directly and modify it there? And if they did modify those in the game editor, how is it fake? It's not, because it's in the game itself. I was really disappointed by this trailer, and I still am. But I'm confident in saying that it will look like it does in the screenshots. Deck Nine are working alongside Dontnod on this remaster, and Dontnod would never let their baby be ruined like this.

Exactly. Especially in scenes where there is a lot of sun. The original had amazing contrast between the sunny day (sun - which is viewed as positive) and the story itself. It perfectly showed that not everything is bad. Now the whole world feels faded and colder.

exactlyyyyyyy

yessssssss

theres a video about how the buffy the vampire slayer remasters basically ruin all the dramatic elements that filters added by just removing all color filters from all the scenes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oZWNGq70Oyo.html

One benefit I can note, from a more technical angle, is that lis 1 can now display in 4k resolution (lis:BTS already could) and hdr support.

ow

September 30 right?

@@patrickwildschut5750 Early 2022

@@violetowy but the trailer said september 30. Or is that for life is strange 1 only?

Bruh rip

Yeah it makes her actually look scared. I mean I would if I had a blade to my face and was defenseless.

I disagree, for me it looks less expressive like, she don't even move her eyebrows

Look at 2:24 Chole and Rachel looks worst in the remastered

i didnt play life is strange so give me a reason to play it

They look less expressive and more creepy to me?

Ikr?

Right?? he was ugly as shit but now he's so cute I might accept going ape with him.

FOR REAL i always found him cute tbh but he really improved

@@BrunaOneGirlBand show yourself, maybe, now, he don't...

Eh he still looks bad to me.

I definitely agree with this! In the original she kind of looks stoned, but in the remastered one it gives me the feeling of, shes curious and wondering whats going to happen

that one is probably the best

THAT ONE WAS SO GOODDDD

LMFAO I LAUGHED FOR NO REASIN

The eyes and the expression itself looks so weird to me...

It looks better but it kinda made him look like a triggered middle schooler.

the screenshots were made later in the development phase than the trailer. hopefully the actual remaster should resemble those more

Where can I find the screenshots? Or were the ones at the end of the video the ones you're talking about?

The screenshots were probably from a newer build of the game. Well either that or they retouched them

She looks scary

@Tinúviel or Daniel :)

@@sugarr143 SHE DOES THO WTH HAPPENED?

I honestly wouldn’t recognise her as the same character

oke is it just me or does she looks younger in the remasterd trailer? or in some scenes at least

omg literally the skins from the sims 3

If you wanna see the rest of the story, I'm pretty sure there's LiS comics with max and Chloe!

@@CherryWisienka SAME

Knowing Square Enix, they'll wait until the new LiS isn't selling well to release another bundle, then a remaster of something (2 maybe?), then another bundle, and then maybe the rest of the story from 1. Before bundling it, remastering it, and then bundling it again. Oh and maybe a couple of mobile games somewhere in there for good measure, which add really important pieces of story you can't find anywhere else and are never ported to a console.

@@mydogeatspuke Square Enix literally waited 14 years to continue The world ends with you

Yes, you're completely right

YES

Well the game isn't done yet and I'm pretty sure they delayed the remaster of lis & before the storm all though unsure at the moment if I ain't mistaken this was delayed

Yeah that looks x100 better

yes, the eyes in remastered are glowing like neon

Same the eyes are really weird, she looks likea 2D cut out

0:50 tho with the lightning 😕

It's the nose,on screenshots it looks long af

Her eyes are super contrasted with her face in the remastered BTS (really tan, really light blue eyes) and they aren't the same color as the Chloe in remastered LIS. Her nose is also longer, and between her lips and nose is too highlighted. There are too many highlights in general on Chloe BTS.

It looks like she would be wearing colored contacts ...

her eyes look way too bright i think

yeah choles eyes look weird

She looks like vampire No offense

Its better than the original but it looks like makes is doing a pokerface when she sees a dead whale like wth happened with the sad reactions?

Why i always like remastered much than original?

nah
