Hi all

Thought I’d propose a thread for the weekend.

It is no secret that Double Exposure has a lot of subtext and context that flies under the radar if you don’t pay attention, or some that’s more on the surface. Some people think it is perhaps the game in the franchise that has the most to be dug on.

There is also a lot of sociopolitical commentary in the game as well, which is clear when you look at the characters, the most diverse group in any of the titles of the series, and some of the themes they bring to the table.

I’ll start with economy commentary. Several characters state points about contemporary financial realities, and Gwen and Amanda go as far as having a Crosstalk conversation about how impossible it is to buy a house.

What other subtext - or maybe on the surface - topic you took from the game and would like to share?

Cheers!

This wouldn’t fit in a mug, sorry.

That’s all. Ciaooooo!

What is Gwen saying about this pair? 😄

With the LiS show starting to be filmed today, I wondered what everyone has in mind when it comes to a cast for DE. The first thing that comes to mind fast for me is Devery Jacobs as Amanda.

How about you?

Hi y’all :)

What is going on in Safi’s mind?

Today, Canada observes Indigenous Amanda Thomas is Algonquin and Cherokee. As the Algonquin territory expands all the way to Canada, it only makes sense to talk about it today.

There are very, very few indigenous people in games in general, much less women.

Amanda wears her culture in several details:

- Amanda wears jewellery made with turquoise and orange stones, which have several meanings to native folk
- Her jackets have native patterns. Her red and blue jacket has several details that are also related to her background.
- The snapping turtle is a sacred animal in native culture that symbolises creation, longevity, and personifies Mother Earth; in the game, the bar showcases Native American artists.
- She has a feather tattoo, another Native American symbol. They represent in general bravery and honour, but different bird’s feathers have different meanings.

And now for some horrific facts:

- Canadian residential schools were a system to “educate” native children into “civilised” Christian culture. They started in the 1700’s and existed as late as the 1990s. About 150.000 children were taken from their families, but this is likely underestimated. Many died due to neglect in such institutions.
- Indigenous women are the most commonly murdered demographic - by far, in any metrics - in North America. It is an ongoing human crisis.

We know history has been told in general by the “winners”, but we also can do better.

… and run for the hills. 🤭

Hi all!

I recently found a Tumblr account with amazing freecam screenshots from several games, Double Exposure among them. Here are some of them.

What are your favourite screenshots?

Hi all,

It’s been over two months now that Reunion was released and we had the time to form our opinions. For many, like me, the game was not what I wanted to see as a follow up to Double Exposure as it abandons several themes to cater to a very specific story.

As such, just for fun: what are stories, themes and characters you would’ve liked to have seen addressed in a follow up to DE?
