We Need to talk about Lost Records: Bloom And Rage... [Delay Announcement] 

I dont want to get my tinfoil hat on but why do i get the feeling that square enix intentionally decided to put the life is strange release date near the same time as lost records as a way to compete with lost records knowing that life is strange is obviously a more popular name.

I wouldn't put it past Square Enix and Deck Nine to end up having to delay Double Exposure, thus making the delay of Lost Records pointless.

I personally don't mind game delays for any reason, however much it may suck. I truly hope that Lost Records gets the attention it deserves whether that's positive or negative. Dontnod has proven that they're capable of producing high quality games and I sincerely hope they've hit the nail on the head with this title, allowing them the ability to produce more one of games in an industry inundated with too many series

Hello :) I was pretty relieved when I read about the delay, because even if all fans bought both, the discussion around Double Exposure would likely overshadow the discussion around Lost Records. And fans likely _wouldn’t_ buy both, at least not at once, because having competition that releases so close to each other also means that most fans simply won’t have the money to purchase both of them. So I think it was a very wise decision to delay the game until early 2025! I am excited for both games, but more for Lost Records - mainly because I liked Don’t Nod’s LIS games more than Deck Nine’s, both still enjoyed all of them :)

Honestly i kinda figured something would happen when Double Exposure got revealed for October 29th. I’m completely okay with waiting a little bit longer for Bloom & Rage, gives both games time to breathe, which is especially good for Bloom & Rage

I think Lost Records will probably be good. I’ve been cautiously optimistic for it as I am with most things. I’ve been playing since LIS 1 and I think that BTS and True Colors are pretty bad honestly. BTS is okay, but I truly thing True Colors is one of the worst games I’ve ever played (obviously in my own opinion as I see many people enjoying it). I think that Life is Strange 2 ended up being better than the first in nearly every way though. With that being said, I expect Double Exposure to be just as bad as True Colors, but I’d reckon it’s worse probably since they’re going to be using Max again.

Shame I’m counting on Double Exposure to be mid to bad so I was really looking foreward to a good game…

That’s sucks. The game looks promising can’t wait to play in 2025

Honestly, I'm glad they made this decision, since I don't think delaying the game will hurt the games success, and releasing it so closely to the new Life is Strange games would be really risky. Not only that, seeing how most probably this new Life is Strange game will disappoint fans (I mean, if LiS 2 left them disappointed as a "sequel", I don't know if Deck Nine will do better than DontNod, because people want Max AND Chloe, and Double Exposure is not giving that), it is possible that if Lost Records comes after will get a better reception within the fanbase, because they are getting what they really wanted. I'm really excited for Lost Records, since I have loved LiS 2 and didn't enjoy how it was so underrated, that made Dontnod not releasing anymore games like this for a while, and if Lost Records is the beginning of a new era, where we can get more games like LiS and LiS 2, then I am really excited!

I do think it was a good decision because a big game coming from a big coming will inevitably overtake the marketing and world of mouth Bloom and Rage would have. And if Double Exposure turns out to be a flop and Bloom and Rage ain’t Don’t Nods game will stand out in the players minds. Overall, I am excited for both games but more for Bloom and Rage. After seeing some gameplay for Double Exposure I am a bit worried and want to keep my expectations realistic.

Wise move Don’t Nod. If you see a Deck9 train wreck ahead…steer clear of it.

Think it would for sure be overshadowed. I really hope that lost records does well.

definitely the right call imo and maybe we'll even get a more polished product on release for it

aw this is unfortunate:( but i’m so excited for both games idm but im super excited for a new story and max’s new chapter of her life

im honestly more hyped for lost records. double exposure seems cool dont get me wrong, I just wanna see a brand new thing, new people, new plot lines, new world

I just hope the pure existence or double exposure dosent hurt its sales. This game survives to sell well

If there’s one thing I learned about delays. Is that it doesn’t really matter how much or many times a movie or game gets delayed. It could still suck in the Final Cut. Cough cough Skull and Bones

I think it's probably the right choice, but it's still a bummer as someone who is very excited for Lost Records and against Double Exposure's very existence. 😭

Great video

I think it was the smart move for Lost Records to be pushed back, I'm definitely more excited about that game than whatever DeckNIne has got going on

I noticed about new LIS game 3 weeks after announcement, even though I was a huge fan up until true colors game... just from the trailer you know it's off with LIS, the expositional dialogue, on the nose narrative, change of powers, fanservice with nostalgia... yeah no thanks, I know already they gonna ruin it.

Every developer delays games for whatever reason. This is nothing new!

Omg, don't nod is the developer of LIS again? Maybe I'm unlike most people, but I loved Vampyr too. I will wait no matter what.
