RIP Benoit Sokal. Last project he ever worked on.

This is listed as not having achievements (either here or on Steam) even though Syberia 3 has them. Hopefully it's just an oversight that will be corrected before launch.
I'm glad to see good news about this title. It's sad it won't get a German dub, or in many other languages. I didn't like English Kate Walker's voice in the prologue - it didn't fit her character IMHO. But after how they have messed up all characters in every language in the third episode maybe it's better if they concentrate on fewer.
Still, I wished they would fix the buggy 3rd episode before putting this on the market.
In the related games section on the news page it says this game is $124.99 for the standard edition....... I'm going to assume this is an error :)
I guess maybe it's time to finally play the first one.

and you most probably don't need to care to play past the second one, also.
50-85 Euros even without German dub? I guess Microids was drunk when they decided the pricing.
Well, Microids being one of the worst contenders when it comes to support (meaning that they leave their games in buggy states forever - see Blacksad and Syb3 i.e.) should not expect me to pay near as much for this. I guess I will wait a bit then until they've come down from their triop and make me a reasonable offer.

Edit: Correction - it's 40-50 Euro only the rest seems to be the typical GOG website mistake. While 40 still is out of my league it is much more reasonable. Does not change the support and dub problem though.

Where's the DLC for upgrading to the deluxe edition? Is it going to the list of games that treat GOG customers as second class citizens as soon as it releases?

Also, the link of the base game in the "related games" part redirects to https://www.gog.com/games, and it shows the wrong price in BRL.

I know right? But if the German dub has to be as bad as in S3, maybe it's better not to have one
Voices didn't fit characters, wrong lip sync. And it's still buggy as hell. I had some good laugh pushing people around like they were made of paper. After 20 years and with Sokal gone, I hope we can get a good (not necessarely happy) ending.

Even real prison don't give her that kind of haircut (ridiculous AF) and if they actually turning Kate Walker into some kind of shallow virtue signalling character I'm not going to buy the game (and it's overpriced af right now).

Regarding the character developement: Just try out the demo. Play it until the end and draw your own conclusion. You can easily get the impression they might imply something, but keeping cool and thinking (or not thinking to much and just enjoying the game) about the situation makes it rather believable, what's happening, and what's not. So far it looks rather sensible, regarding the character developement.

Well the haircut ... you like it, or not. Can't argue over that one. Maybe they just didn't want it to be completely shaven and made that tradeoff. I do not expect it to stay that way the entire game, screenshots seem to imply that, too.

Looking at the demo, it's obviosly touching some real life issues, past and present, though.
