Has anybody heard anything about the review embargo? I saw Swery was talking about review codes on Twitter so I guess they're already out?

This looks like trash, which is really weird since they were able to make a pretty well running game with D4.
Bring back the GOAT
this ain't really a valid excuse when the Switch has been out for 3 years and the Switch has been the target platform for the game from the moment it was announced.
it could be, with some of the references. but i think those are just nods and i doubt both games are in the same universe.
i would love it if DP2 can give some closure to the story of D4 but i don't expect it.
once again I agree, the little stubble York gets in the first game really works for him. Here's hoping it is in.Anybody knows if you can grow your beard in this as well? I haven't been reading and seeing much of the game cause I want to go in fresh.
I hope I can play as bearded Agent Morgan. He looked so cool with it.
sadly it looks like there's no driving this time. you use a skateboard to get to places faster.I hope we get to do as many sick tricks while driving as last time. The world is York´s skate park.
You ever play Goldeneye?I do wish console manufacturers actually had some sort of quality control when clearly unfinished or broken games are going to be released on their system.
A game running at 5-10fps for extended sections is clearly not fit to be released.
the original has some FMV cutscenes (that look pretty bad), those always take too much space. everything in 2 is in-engine, most likely (other than the opening/credits).The game is 4992.00 MB. Very economical. Wait. Origins is 6626.00 MB. WHAT!?!
well he's 5 years younger, and just starting out in the FBI. he's older and more experienced in DP1.I don't know if it is because it is a prequel but York seems like he's more of a bonehead in this game than the first.
True, but I just hate how he comes off as this typical Japanese protagonist who is a bit of a bonehead with a side character who has to play the straight man and call out his dumb antics. I don't know, I hope this isn't what he's like for most of the game.well he's 5 years younger, and just starting out in the FBI. he's older and more experienced in DP1.
ah, i see what you mean. yeah i too hope he's not too much of a goofball. in the original he comes off as pretty serious in between moments of being odd and goofy.True, but I just hate how he comes off as this typical Japanese protagonist who is a bit of a bonehead with a side character who has to play the straight man and call out his dumb antics.

why would anyone care about reviews for this lol?Has anybody heard anything about the review embargo? I saw Swery was talking about review codes on Twitter so I guess they're already out?
Like any game? To read what people have to say about it.
i'm curious to read the reviews :/
LmaoooooYork is exactly the type of person who would skateboard in the grass.
yeah but do those people get review copies? i have no interest what johnny normal at ign thinks of this.General reviews? Not really
Reviews from people who liked DP1 acknowledging it's flawed existence? Yes I'm very curious to see what they think of the sequel
yeah but do those people get review copies? i have no interest what johnny normal at ign thinks of this.
What's the appeal of these games? This looks very rough, not just the frame rate.
i know of two superfans of the game who are currently reviewing the game :)yeah but do those people get review copies? i have no interest what johnny normal at ign thinks of this.

it's ~20 hours for the main story, going for the side missions would add another 15 or so hours.I am so tempted to play the first one before this comes out. I never have and just feel like I have to know why so many people go crazy over it.
How long would you say it is? And is playing it on Switch a bad idea?
should be an interesting review thread. just like the original, i expect really positive and really negative reviews.I've talked a bit with two people who've completed the game, I asked them for no spoilers and I won't give any of the even minor details due to NDA stuff (asked not to even share minor things, so I won't).
But the gist I've gotten is if you like Deadly Premonition and want more of it, you should be very happy with DP2. The story and characters is where DP2 really shines.
Good to know! I hope they patch up the framerate, but I can live with it for the world of Deadly PremonitionI've talked a bit with two people who've completed the game, I asked them for no spoilers and I won't give any of the even minor details due to NDA stuff (asked not to even share minor things, so I won't).

I'm very interested too. I think the reviews won't be as over-the-board as DP1, there is some legitimate problems this has over the original 360 DP1 release, like as many in this thread are talking about technically the game is ROUGH, it sounds like it has the PS4 DP1 problem where in some areas the game runs a perfect 60fps, but then others (mainly the town streets) it'll fluctuate wildly. That's an obvious, actual problem that I can't see any reviewer even enjoying the game will be able to forgive, so I doubt even from people loving it we'll see many 10/10s when there is an obvious huge technical problem with the game that actively hampers the gameplay experience.should be an interesting review thread. just like the original, i expect really positive and really negative reviews.
many people legitimately love it for the vibe, story and characters. this is not something like "the room" where it's notable only because it's bad in every aspect.Is this game liked ironically or is it really a good game? (Serious question, I haven't played the first game)
Deadly Premonition 1 is both legitmately good, and in some parts so-bad-its-good. It's not just ironically good, it has legitimately interesting ideas, actual good characters, a weird but good story and a lot of heart. It's innovative and creative (even though it wears some of its inspirations, like Twin Peaks, Resident Evil 4, Shenmue, on its sleeves). But it is the kind of game where it is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious at the same time, but more than funny, it actually can be legitimately emotional or thought-provoking.I thought the frame rate couldn't be that bad outdoors then I watched it lmao
