New gameplay for Life Is Strange: True Colors is here and it feels just about as expected for Life Is Strange title out there
In just a few more weeks, we will have the full story for Life Is Strange: True Colors in our hands and ready for us to explore. Mostly in our hands if you do not want to count the planned DLC that we already had a taste of earlier in the week from Deck Nine Games. For now, we are going to turn our focus back to the core game and see some new gameplay for it and how it will help carry the Life Is Strange torch just a bit further. A bit further while also giving us just about what we have come to expect in these games over the years. All with a nice and long thirteen minutes of gameplay for us all to take in as we wait for September 10th to finally hit us all.
More or less, the gameplay here is the same that we have seen from Life Is Strange so many times. I am talking about the core elements of choosing dialog, searching rooms for things, and generally pushing the story forward. All of which is in the following gameplay footage. Sadly, it looks like that is mostly what it is here with only a few little scenes where the emotional mechanics for Life Is Strange: True Colors come up. This would have been what I was hoping to see a little more of a highlight for, given that it is what will make this one stand out a bit more over the previous titles. Most of it is a small segment where we get to see one person glow red and then have it quelled somehow through a scene and nothing more. It does offer up a fun introduction for most of the characters, but is a bit light on how things will actually function in the final game.

Did you expect to see any of the gameplay deviate from what we know for Life Is Strange or are you glad it will be about the same as we had before? Do you think that we will be able to fully control others with their emotions or will we only start to mimic what they are going through with our own mannerisms? How deep into this part of the story will this all go given that it does have the focus of the DLC in the mix here? Give us all of those thoughts and feelings down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. When there is more for Life Is Strange: True Colors, we will have it up on the site for you. Please keep checking back for all of that and everything else that we might have along the way.
