- Start date
Weird, I don't remember it zooming out at all. I remember being on the outskirts of the town and not being able to zoom out the map to see the quickest way to get back to town because I was running out of gas.
You sure do.
Yeah, the PC/PS4 version had fixes like that. But... the original 360 version, jank and all, is actually superior.I played on PC.
It zoomed out, and I just remember it needing you to figure out your path on your own instead of giving you a line to follow. The driving was janky though for sure, but that's kind of everything in the game
Just like the original.
Swery is a gift from the gods and no one should take that for granted.
See I have it on 360 and I got it on PC and in both of them the map was fucked up for me, I guess that's just how it is though.
One of my fave games of all time is getting a sequel. I wonder how the story will go though. It seems like it wrapped up. Must be more red seeds all over the place or something.
This dude is insane. He recently released The Missing (which was already a surprise since he's working on The Good Life), The Good Life is supposed to release in 2020, and this too ?! Hype.
Can you guys believe that in 2020 we're getting No More Heroes 3 and Deadly Premonition 2 ? This is insane. Suda and Swery FTW
At least you could get the Steam version to run at all! I couldn't
I am super stoked about this release!
I'm 6 minutes from my copy being done downloading. I can report back as soon as I have a couple minutes with it.
It looks like it's prequel(?) so that dodges the York/Zach thing.
Was anyone else there on release? I just checked my achievements and it looks like I didn't start it until 5 days after it released. I feel like I bought it the day it ce out, though. I specifically remember the guys at the game shop laughing at me for buying the weird $20 thing no one had heard of.
oh cool, I'll get this one. probably not gonna buy a third (fourth?) copy of the original game though. sorry Swery.
Great to see Swery officially commenting on his involvement. Definitely cannot wait now to see how this new craziness unfolds!
They're really doing a sequel to one of my all time favorites, a completely inconceivable sequel and it's getting the stage on a Nintendo Direct.
It's Nier Automata and Shenmue III all over again and it's wonderful.

You guys, I don't want to alarm you but I think Deadly Premonition 2 not only exists, but might also be a secret Sequel to D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die??? According to the VO, it's also set partly in Boston.
Huh... it's funny how this makes sense but D4 is set in B...
OH MY FUCKING GOD
Physical copy of the first game in Europe too
I have only vaguely heard of this game/series and it looked really bad.
Can someone explain this to me?

Alright y'all game downloaded and I'm in the rainy opening after the car crash.
The game looks crisp in handheld mode! I wouldn't be surprised if this was native 720p.
And I'll be damned it's running at a solid 30FPS I believe just based on my rudimentary ability to determine framerates at the naked eye. I'm noticing some slight frame stutter, but it isn't egregious. Controls how you'd expect if you've played the game before, feels like the PS3 version in that respect. This seems like it's going to be the version to play from the small portion I've done so far.

Deadly Premonition basically began life as a heavily, HEAVILY Twin Peaks-inspired open world horror/detective game. So heavily inspired that its original incarnation, Rainy Woods, actually almost got shut down due to threatened legal action before the developer, Swery65, reworked it into what's now known as Red Seeds Profile (in Japan)/Deadly Premonition (everywhere else).
In a very, very boiled down sense, it's a heavily narrative-driven open world horror game about an FBI agent who loves movies and coffee investigating a series of grisly murders in a quirky Pacific Northwest town. It's incredibly incredibly janky and also so bursting with personality that if you actually bear with it long enough to get used to the controls and the jank you'll very likely end up falling in love with it.
In other words, it basically ended up becoming Video Game Twin Peaks anyway.
I screamed. Fucking love the original for its oddness and quirk. I never thought I'd see a sequel.
ZACK
I want to discuss something with you
This morning while I had my coffee, it happened. The coffee spoke to me. While I was entranced by this, it said we would get an sequel.
This saddened me. Because we know that would never happen.
Burn then I happened to come across a Nintendo Direct broadcast. There it was. Deadly Premonition 2.
But we'll talk later Zach. Something came up

Those are some fucking rough looking little snippets. Granted, this Deadly P we're talking about, but White Owls' The Missing is actually a pretty clean game and The Good Life is looking sharp too.
What I'm trying to say is: if I ever wanted a sequel to DP, I'd want it to be technically sounder. I don't know if I want just DP again in terms of polish.
Who is Rising Star Games?

Lol, fair enough. I figured it wasn't a spoiler since the video was posted in a thread that included details on the release of the first game on a Nintendo console for the first time.
This is great. Jim giving DP a 10/10 is why I have followed him for so many years and watched every Jimquisition since.
Here's a quick couple of screencaps from the opening in handheld mode. It looks pretty sharp on the Switch screen!

Oh, the video itself isn't a spoiler, but the answer to your question about the video is.
Rising Star Games is a publisher. The developer of the sequel is a company called TOYBOX, apparently.
If you really really like quirky Japanese shit and Twin Peaks and have a lot of patience for janky design, go right ahead. As long as it's based on the PS3 version with all of its gameplay improvements you'll be alright. The original XB360 version was borderline unplayable in some regards.
Going to wait on some more impressions of the port of the original but if it's solid then I might have to double dip.
Probably. Everyone should experience MISTER FRANCIS YORK MORGAN at least once in their lives.
they published the DC of Deadly Premonition on Steam. They were acquired by Thunderful (the joint venture formed between Image & Form and Zoink games) last year
