"Third entry"

The second one would be "Before The Storm", I assume. Is not it technically more like a spin off, as Captain Spirit? Maybe it would be more correct to say "It will be second main entry of the Life Is Strange series". Lone Internaut (talk) 04:52, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure Captain Spirit could be considered a spin-off, considering it was marketed as a demo, and released as a prequel... (Which, technically takes place during LIS2. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sean's age

According to several articles[1][2][3][4] Sean is 16, however there seems to be a dispute regarding is age, with many insisting that he is 17. I haven't played the game yet, is he said to be that age in the game? The Life Is Strange Wiki[5] is also not decisive on the case. Lordtobi (✉) 08:03, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's set in October 2016 and Sean has an ID card that gives his DOB as some time in May 2000, so he's 16. Will Bradshaw (talk) 15:10, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's even said in Dialogue. The Dad specifically calls him 16. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:03, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? If it's so obvious, why did multiple people change it to 17? Lordtobi (✉) 09:06, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
His official date of birth is August 15th, 2000, and the game takes place in October, 2016. However, I believe a newspaper clipping somewhere has his age down at 17, which is where the confusion lies. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The specific age is irrelevant to understanding the plot. Cognissonance (talk) 04:29, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. His age is quite important, not only for factual accuracy of the article, but because it's important that Sean is underage. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:13, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

British English

As much as I am British, and thus prefer to use British English wherever I can, is there any reason why this article is tagged for British English? The game itself is set in the United States, and the developer is French. I can't see any connection to Britain here.

BE is the one used first, so it's mostly NATRET(?)/STYLERET. I tagged the article when people started changing "behaviour" -> "behavior". Lordtobi (✉) 13:55, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't this mostly to be used when there are no guidelines in place for style? It just seemed odd to me. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:00, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I used British English in Life Is Strange because Dontnod is in Europe. Used the same spelling in Before the Storm and Captain Spirit because the first article used it, even though Deck Nine is in America. No reason not to use it here too. Cognissonance (talk) 04:26, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Who ever writes the article can choose the locale. 20:55, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

macOS and Linux

I work for Feral Interactive, the company bringing Life is Strange 2 to macOS and Linux. My conflict of interest is disclosed in my bio and my edits are intended to ensure factual correctness. I understand that editors of this page may not wish me to make edits due to my conflict of interest.

Please note, the following line is not in keeping with what has been officially announced about the macOS and Linux version:


"The finished series will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019."

We have purposefully not stated which episodes will be released for macOS/Linux in 2019 because this is TBD. Keep in mind that that there is no information about when the game will be finished on any platform. I suggest the official macOS/Linux wording:


"Life is Strange 2 will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019."


If you would like to be specific about episodes, I suggest:


"Episode 1 will be released for macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive in 2019, with release plans for other episodes to be announced later." Feral steph (talk) 07:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for declaring your WP:COI Feral steph. I've made a change which is somewhere in the middle. Hopefully it is suitable. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades

I removed these accolades. They are really not notable, and outwith policy, and at the same time promotional. scope_creep (talk) 20:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

As you're not willing to reply to messages on your talk page and prefer to just blank it, I'll tag you here Sebastian James. Hardcore Gamer is a source used on a large variety of video game articles; in fact it is used to source other information on the same article. PhillisMinaj (talk) 16:10, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Unless it's a press release, blog post etc, either it's a WP:RS or it isn't. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:25, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The complaint is that the article is based on a Spotify account, which generally isn’t a reliable source. Edit warring over maintenance templates isn’t the way to go. Kleuske (talk) 16:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article isn't based on a Spotify account, anyone playing the game can hear the songs for themselves; it's merely mentioning that the developer has also created a playlist for the songs in the game on Spotify.
It's strange you're inserting yourself into this discussion after also querying my other actions as an editor and then warning me for edit warring but not warning the other user who is actually unwilling to contribute to the discourse other than leaving snarky edit summaries. I've not edited for a very long time but we used to call that wikistalking back in the day. PhillisMinaj 16:39, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Sebastian James if you're going to just leave messages on my talk page saying I'll be blocked if I don't discuss this on the article talk page then you should probably start contributing to the discussion yourself. PhillisMinaj 17:02, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

First of all, you have failed to ping me. That's not how you ping an editor. Secondly, I am not the one who got a warning for 3RR. You have not written an explained summary and just kept repeating "Hardcore Gamer is a source used on a large variety of video game articles; in fact it is used to source other information on the same article." Every video game editor knows that. Explain the situation. I didn't say the article is based on a Spotify account. The article is based on a Spotify list. Read WP:CIVIL; these are not "snarky" edits: (Not reputable when it is using Spotify as a source, is it? Stop edit warring., Basically uses Spotify and is the only news about this soundtrack right now.) and I'm not "trolling". I didn't see that the article was added by your IP at first, then I searched about that source and it was the only article that mentions anything about LiS 2 soundtrack and uses Spotify as a source, the first sentence from the article is "Dontnod Entertainment has updated its Spotify channel with songs that feature on the official soundtrack for Life Is Strange 2." Be kind. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:26, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't the game already have credits for its music ingame? You can cite that as a WP:PRIMARY source. It's clearly verifiable. However this is a secondary source used here. I'm not really sure how it's a problem in usage. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a while since I've edited Wikipedia, how do I go about changing the source I used from the article to just the video game the article is about? PhillisMinaj 17:42, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
I left a message on your talk page and you blanked it and told me not to message you. I didn't get a warning for 3RR either, not sure why you're saying that. I explained the situation, stop being obnoxious, it's clear from playing the game that the songs are there. PhillisMinaj 17:42, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
Because you haven't read the top of my talk page, which basically says "If I reverted your edit, just take it to the article's talk page." Can't you see this giant 3RR warning on your talk page sent by Kleuske? The songs are there, yes, but where are the sources which state that the songs were included in the official soundtrack except for Spotify mentioned by Hardcore Gamer? You should stop accusing falsely, and be civil. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:50, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Uninvolved editor here, I’m just going to laugh at the irony of Sebastian asking others to be civil.
Phillis is right that page blanking is confusing. This is who dispute is silly and not worth edit warring over, however. You really shouldn’t need to bring in a third opinion for something as trivial as this, but if this is how the tone is going to be you might need to consider it. Toa Nidhiki05 17:58, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did have a peek at his talk page history when he blanked it and it does seem like he's deleting a lot of disagreements and warnings, but hey, maybe everyone else is the problem. PhillisMinaj 18:03, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
That doesn't change the fact that you were refusing to discuss it. Go back and count them, I didn't break 3RR. This is beyond pointless at this stage; you agree that the songs are in the game so why are you saying that it's not reliably sourced? The article isn't claiming they're in some sort of additional product being sold as the official soundtrack. It seems like you're just arguing for the sake of it. PhillisMinaj 18:03, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
I agree with Lee Vilenski. Hardcore Gamer is a reliable source, so using it should have no problem. The Spotify playlist is created by Dontnod, so it is legit too as a primary source. In fact, Hardcore Gamer is a better choice than using the in-game credits because of its status as a secondary source. AdrianGamer (talk) 18:04, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Since when we are using spotify playlists as a source for soundtracks? Sebastian James what's the T? 18:15, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We're not, we're using the credits from the video game and/or Hardcore Gamer PhillisMinaj 18:18, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
