DEADLY PREMONITION livebloggin and community support group thread.

oh boy, wait till you hear about this one

ya meant this one. hopefully they patch it

i haven't played yet but it sounds like it's good just even lower effort/less polish than the first

on the tech side i mean, there's definitely some effort in the world design and such

If for nothing else, the first gets props for having literally the worst driving controls in the history of video games. Like so bad that I have to assume they're willfully so.

that's what some of us hoped as well, and someone brought it to swery's attention, and he said "oh! sorry, i'll get right on that", and released a patch that fixed damn near nothing, and then that was brought to swery's attention as well, and swery's response was to talk about his "creative freedom" and make a couple more tweets that were more blunt that he then deleted

don't get your hopes up.

if it gets a pc release after the 6 months of switch exclusivity are up then maybe it'll run better there, though the first game actually runs worse on pc than on 360 lol

either way i will be playing this on switch handheld mode for the proper experience

I literally forgot this game came out until I watched sleepy hollow today and saw that weird tree and was like "oh damn deadly premonition, did that come out?" and then I bought it and now I'm playing it that's the whole story

i'm two scenes in and he's talked at least a couple of lines about... 8 different movies or so? i wish i was keeping a list

wait are you playing the first one for the first time?

there is a lot of movie chat

the second one!

oh nvm you're playing 2 i see

there is still a lot of movie chat

yeah i totally didn't clarify that. maybe i should've played the first one thru again first though, because i cannot remember the ending at all? and iirc it got very convoluted

these are both on sale for switch now, which seems rare?

by which i mean they are both discounted. i don't remember a price drop on DP2 since i put on my wishlist a year or two ago.

should i play either of them? should i start with 1 or jump to 2?

Definitely don't jump to 2.

everyone should play Deadly Premonition 1, but I can't speak to how well it plays on the switch since at least the 360 and PC versions all had their own problems.

play the 360 version. it's back compatible with the bone and series consoles too

if xbox is not an option, the various ports are all slightly worse than the 360 original: the director's cut extra content is pointless, game looks worse, performance is worse, crashes are more frequent. still worth checking out imo, but the switch one is the worst port of all i think

definitely don't bother with 2 unless you've played 1. i loved 1 but couldn't stomach 2, ymmv

yeah 2 was not well received even by huge fans of 1 so i stayed away. sounded like it was just worse all around - writing not as charming or engaging, performance downgraded from 'janky low budget game' to 'so broken it's barely playable'

This is the perfect steam deck to play beside my wife while she watches pretty little liars. I tried it when it came out and was one to jump out as soon as I had to jump in a car and navigate the games handling. Now, I’m having a ball. Very keen to try 2 as well, apparently the pc version fixes most/all of the performance woes of the switch

Incredibly on brand for this game: The steam achievement for completing episode 1 spoils who the killer is in its description. Couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it come up at the bottom of my screen. Oh well, let’s see how it all unfolds!
