Deadly Premonition being remastered for PS3, with Move support

Joystiq writes: "Immediately after ex-Marvelous CEO (and new Toybox Games founder) Yasuhiro Wada let slip news of a new Deadly Premonition PS3 project at GDC, he met with Joystiq for an interview and clarified just what it is. And it's not a sequel."

Completed it on the 360 - one of the worst games I've played this gen. People says it's "so bad, it's good" but that only really applies to the first half or so. The further you get in the story the more serious in tone it becomes, while simultaneously getting sillier and more overblown... a lot like Quantic Dream's Fahrenheit actually, but with botched gameplay. The combat sections become way more frequent as you progress too, and anyone who has played the game will tell you that the combat in DP is an abomination. So by the end, the off-beat comedy that made it worth playing is non-existent and you're left with a game that has no redeeming features.

The PS3 version been out for awhile now in Japan, but it called Red Seeds Profile instead of Deadly Premonition. I'll buy it if it comes to the US.

What is so great/horrible about this game that everyone talks about it? I just have no clue but this has me excited for the simple fact I really wanna find out what the fuss is all about.

The gameplay itself isn't anything to call home about, but the story and characters are so bizarre and out-there that it ends up being a really entertaining experience. Sort of like a "so bad it's good" kind of movie.

This game is a delight.

So says Mr. Stewart.

Thank you, I refuse the pay 60 bucks

It will most likely be like $20-$30 just like the original version for Xbox 360

Video Games Proud To Not Be For Everyone

Plenty of games have made a name for themselves as being proud of the fact they’re not to everyone’s taste over the years.

If you make something for everyone, you please no one.

I mean I can do without nintendo games if given the choice. They are not nearly as mature rated as the average.

Yeah but I use my Switch OLED primarily for anime booba style games (visual novels and JRPG's) and ultra violent FPS's. Far from kid friendly, lol

The problem with that line of though is that games have never been as much "for everyone" as in 2025.
The only thing that's not for everyone in gaming lately is the gatekeeping. Devs will try to appeal to as many people as they can, but if you dare have your own tastes and prefer something a bit more obscure, then you have "L takes" because at the moment, popular opinion equals right opinion.
So devs should simply own the fact they water down their games and go Hollywood to please everybody. Then indies will go back to being trendsetters that are different from AAAs, instead of being roguelike and gacha copycats.

Okay, but "games I'm not meant to love" means I won't play them.
Games are for fun. They're their own art, it's a disservice to reduce them to interactive stories. You can focus on making your audience entertained on a positive way and still stand out.

No game is for everyone. Some games are more mainstream or casual friendly but there is always someone who won’t like it. Same with anything else

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.
