While the world and characters are brilliant in their kookiness, other aspects of the game are not regarded as fondly. Combat is clumsy and difficult, to the point where the harder difficulty levels were removed for the 2013 ‘Director’s Cut’ edition. Graphics were bland and dated even then, stuck in the era where all things were depicted in shades of brown. If one does not take the time to upgrade York’s car, the driving feels horrendous—all slippery and awkward.
So why is the development of a sequel to this bizarre mish-mash of a game so exciting?
Deadly Premonition is a weird, weird cocktail that doesn't go down smooth for everyone, but it's still absolutely worth sampling.
It’s sooooo janky but the story is so good and the agent is so quirky I loved it thouroughly, the story is that good that you can actually make it through all of its jankiness and issues .
It’s a diamond in the rough and rough is saying lighly.
This game deserves a remake out of any game I can think of .
If they fixed the combat ,driving and movement this would be one of my favorite games all time and it already is in a way.
The first time I turned on my flashlight was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a game. His suit just sort of lights up. There's no physical flashlight in his hand--hilarious. It's also the only game I've played to truly capture the delightfull quirkiness of Twin Peaks. I'm with you on how much I like this game. Despite all of its flaws, it's a genuinely fun experience. "My coffee warned me about it," is probably my favorite line of all time in any video game.
I still haven't played the sequel, but I will some day.
I enjoyed this back during ps3 days. I'd buy it again if they re released it fixed up a little. I had fun with it.
Twinfinite: "Sometime comedy and horror are one and the same! Find out which moments from our favorite horror games made us laugh instead of cry."
ok I believe that Deadly Premonition 2 scene described in the article, takes the cake! Although one could argue that there are so many memorable ridiculous moments in this game.
Daily Video Game writes: "There are several action-adventure, fighting, RPG, racing, shooter, and sports games going on sale at Amazon right now, with many of them getting big price cuts for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch! The savings may vary from title to title, but you will be able to save up to 90% off!"
A headline like that basically reads "Amazon slashes up to 90% off everything."
Not enough genres covered.
I hope Deadly Premonition 2 comes to PS, basically Twin Peaks The Game.
Love these stories
no one cares about a game, then it's coming to nintendo and people act like it's a godsend to mankind
