Hello every1 is this version better to buy or the original?
On my store the remastered pack costs 13 bucks which includes the two games ( LIS AND LIS before storm) and the original costs 15 bucks for LIS only.. however I read comments and watched youtubes of comparisons between the two in graphics I;ve noticed that they changed they eyes of Chloe and Max. Which I dont like in the remaster.. so what is your advice ? buying the original or the remastered .. And if I buy the original which has only LIS1 game is life before storm important or just boring flashbacks of Chloe?/

You should kind of weigh it out like this:

If you care more about overall enjoyment and think the orignal graphics looks better than the Remaster > stay with the original games

If you care about enhanced graphics / quality and dont mind a few bugs that come with it > go with the Remasters (i was biased at first, but the new looks really grew on me)

Before the Storm is pretty important to the lore of LiS, but if you don't like Chloe you don't have to play it. Personally I didn't really like Chloe but Before the Storm made me love her.

Well I watched a bit from the gameplay of the two version seriously I aside from changing eyes into glassy shiny ones the rest of the graphics feel same. I do really like Chloe this is why I felt the remastered is a good offer but I can't stand her look in it her eyes and lips movement do not match the voice she also looks at different direction in the remaster, Sadly i might skip LIS before storm if I buy the original cuz the price of the original is full price.

Indeed they changed alot in the Remaster to make it look more ''human''. I personally was against it aswell but once you're like an hour into the story you just forget about it. It's okay to skip BtS, but do know that it gives you a far bigger in depth character exploration from Rachel and Chloe than the original does. You can also see the point Max ''moved on'' from Chloe and how she dealt with that.

Whichever you pick, it's gonna be an epic ride Remastered or not :lisr_chloe_laughing:

Thanks for the explanation I bought the original and might buy the remastered as well to explore LIS before storm(remastered).. I was confused cuz I am saving money for the double exposure I want to continue Max story. Sadly Chloe not in it . I can't imagine why DONT NOD gave up Max and Chloe story.. thanks to Deck 9 to continue this original story. I also noticed that nails and fingers are much better in the remastered.

Chloe is not an active character in Double Exposure but they did put her in it. DONTNOD is working on another game (Lost Records) so that might be why they handed LiS to DeckNine. I don't like how they're treating it in terms of extra content but that's the publishers fault.

Should you want to do another playthrough of LiS with more polished looks, definitely go with the Remaster then!

Well thanks again.. As for Chloe she was only mentioned in Double exposure she didnt appear physically. I watched a bit the gameplay. I am gonna buy that one to continue Max story. And yes Lost records on my hotlist xD.:steamlaughcry::wpwaeda:

No problem! I actually haven't played DE yet :lisr_max_sweatdrop: but i will buy it on this sale. I heard people say that Max doesn't really act like Max in DE, so i'm going in with low expectations. Atleast they stil have Hannah Telle to do the voice.

Before the Storm Remastered has historically been "the buggy one" (which is a little ironic since it's Deck Nine updating their own product rather than working on Don't Nod's game.

In general, the originals have more stylised graphics, but run better, while the remasters have more realistic and higher resolution graphics, but, unless they've done a lot of fixing since the last time I checked, have a number of bugs.

Whoever made such claims clearly didn't at least watch all five episodes of Double Exposure. I can only think of two things why some would make such allegations. Namely that she broke up with Chloe off screen, and Max using her supernatural powers once again. But besides that, she's the same old Max from the first game... far more so than her comic book counterpart.

Huh, when she is the same old Max why do you reason she acts?

Hi, it's been a while since I played the original. Personally, I don't see any particular (visual) differences right away. I would probably have to search the internet for comparison videos or screenshots. I also don't know if owners of the original game get a discount. They definitely should! I don't believe that improved graphics can really make the original game better. So I would answer with: The original is good enough. For what it is, it's as good as perfect. I think the fans are more interested in the story and the emotions than the graphics. That's why this game is so loved.

Original 100%. This one is an ugly, buggy mess. And it even softlocks you in episode 4.
