Deadly Premonition looks ~~like a piece of shit~~ great, but ever since I read this review I've been really looking forward to it. Sleeper cult hit maybe? Cult hit already? Anybody here playing it? I'm lookin out for the PAL release (which is apparently being made by someone).

Update: You can import this from Japan for PS3 apparently it's called Red Seeds Profile. Unfortunate it's ~$80 seeing as the 360 US version is only $20. It's all we PAL people have though atm.

yeah I think Evilbros are going nuts for this one. I cant wait to play it.

Its only $20 why would you hate it regardless of reviews. People these days...

naff · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2010, 11:13:33 PM »

I never knew about it apart from a couple random clips before the review. I had no idea it was only 20$ (until I read the review) but yeah, this game looks rad. Can't play it here yet though :'(

I got sidetracked from the amazing FF13. I will sit down with this again soon.

Bebpo · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2010, 12:12:43 PM »

I got sidetracked at the town meeting when the game was like "go have 5 min conversations" x 20 people and I was like ....I'm gonna need some free time for this.

Most of them say maybe 3 sentences. You can also skip talking / cutscenes.

protip: Press Start when entering / leaving your car and it will even skip that scene.

oh my god what the FUCK is this game

It's like some guys who made Sega Saturn games went to live in Peru for 15 years then came back and were like "WELP LET'S GET BACK TO GAME MAKING, I GUESS WE'LL PUT OUR NEXT ONE ON XBOX 360"

That really isnt as funny as you make it seem... it's just a $20 game

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #26 on:** March 15, 2010, 03:22:56 AM »

I was expecting some shitty Silent Hill ripoff and now it's like a PS2 GTA clone

Now the main character is talking to me about how 80s movies on DVD never have good bonus features and the quality of the trailers on them are really crappy

demi · « **Reply #27 on:** March 15, 2010, 03:28:19 AM »

Is he talking to you? Sounds like you don't know Zach...

I mentioned in the Playing thread, but the game is basically a $20 Shenmue without the shit, and there ARE shitty silent hill segments - which happen to be the worst parts of the game. I want George to whip me and treat me like dirt.

Bebpo · « **Reply #28 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:00:42 AM »

I dunno. Exactly what "shit" was in Shenmue? I just remember it having badass kung fu fighting between adventure segments.
I mean I like DP, but it's more of a C grade shenmue x silent hill x RE to me. The best description I've seen people give it is Simple Series 2000: The Detective.

I'm doing sidequests in ep2
It's fun.

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:02:29 AM »

Uh I dunno bebpo. Everything? You dont have to go out and ask people where the sailors are, to play lucky hit, to find the zheng dong bing bong house.

Bebpo · « **Reply #30 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:10:03 AM »

everything you mentioned was great in shenmue and a truly classic gaming experience.

I think Shenmue at the time (both S1 and S2) were 10/10 amazingly original experiences. I don't really see the flaws. Driving a tractor around and working was fun!

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #31 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:10:38 AM »

i only did one side quest the entire game

i'd like to replay it at some point and do more exploring, when some time passes and i forget how torn-asshole-bad the controls are

cool breeze · « **Reply #32 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:19:16 AM »

I've only played this game for about three hours and I'm not enjoying the parts when I have to play it. At least so far it seems like everything that isn't me controlling the game is AAA fucking awesome.

I love how they have upbeat music playing when they're talking about the crime scene and how this girl was killed. But the best part so far was eating breakfast and York says "I'll have you know I'm very peculiar about my coffee (awesome smile)" then maybe twenty minutes later he is eating a biscuit and just says "I'll have you know I'm very peculiar about biscuits".

Side Quests give you major goodies. You can get a walkie talkie which instantly warp you anywhere in Greenvale (incl. car), infinite guns, item backpack upgrade, faster cars...

Most of it is zero work too.

Walkie Talkie - pick up a flower when its raining. George will want it later on. Bam, instant warp

Car upgrades - Run into the junkyard where the old guy tells you to. Bam, faster car

man I have scoured the internets for news of a PAL version of this game... no dice. It must be coming. It has to be.

I feel like Im never going to be able to play it

Bebpo · « **Reply #36 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:17:25 PM »

So I was about to pre-order Alan Wake with my $10 amazon credit from GoW3 when looking at the pics and summary I realized...isn't Alan Wake basically the exact same game as Deadly Premonition?

demi · « **Reply #37 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:19:29 PM »

Not really

Bebpo · « **Reply #38 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:23:13 PM »

-detective adventure game with SPOOKY MONSTER sections
-Sorta sandbox with "missions"
-a dude in a small town

I dunno, I mean I just looked at the pics and it looked like Deadly Premonition with a budget.

demi · « **Reply #39 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:27:59 PM »

I would say its more like Alone in the Dark

Bebpo · « **Reply #40 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:29:45 PM »

Hmmm. Well I'm getting it regardless because I <3 <3 Max Payne. But would be funny if Deadly Premonition was a similar type of game and better. Kind of like I guess it is with Heavy Rain though I still haven't played that.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #41 on:** March 18, 2010, 02:09:12 AM »

Alone in the Dark was the worst terrific game I've played this gen.

this PS3 owner is more jealous of DP then Gears of War and a non-shitty Bayonetta, it sounds like its right up my alley.

chronovore · « **Reply #42 on:** March 18, 2010, 01:02:58 PM »

Ordered my copy today. Looking forward to playing it and seeing what demi hates so much about the alternate personality sequences.

It's not really through their vaginas. They eat the seeds (when Emily got shoved some down her throat and Kaysen didnt pump her stomach) and it grows through their stomach. It's a lot of innuendo though - "she's been soiled", Kaysen drooling over her licking her, implying he fucked her

This.

I honestly couldn't have stomached a lot of the gameplay stuff so by watching a play through I feel like I had a better experience because I could just skip the parts I wouldn't have played and just focus on the story.

Car upgrades - Run into the junkyard where the old guy tells you to. Bam, faster car

drop by the store twice and pick up the first two spirit maps for the psychic spots, do the short monster dungeons and get: infinite submachine gun (makes last boss easy as hell), infinite shotgun (makes raincoat killer boss fight easy as hell)

demi · « **Reply #53 on:** June 05, 2010, 06:35:18 PM »

You could also do the bone quest - gather all the bones for Brian early in the game, then when all are collected, have Willie steal them. Go get them back from Kaysen's truck and you get the infinite Magnum

No fighting required, just a little story progression

(I got 1000 in this game, no need to give the king tips)

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #54 on:** June 05, 2010, 06:48:37 PM »

this seems like the kind of game that would be worth some dollars later on, when people "rediscover" it, imma hang on to it

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #55 on:** June 05, 2010, 06:53:34 PM »

I picked up a copy of Spy Fiction today for $2.99. It's basically SWERY doing the MGS games but there's a lot of fun tweaks (disguising yourself as people, turning invisible, etc).

Still, you can tell that Deadly Premonition is the game where he whipped out his balls and was like WOOOOOO

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #56 on:** June 06, 2010, 10:25:28 PM »

How scary is this game with alan wake being a 1 and resident evil 4 being a 10?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #57 on:** June 06, 2010, 11:06:09 PM »

not very, although it has some jump-scares when the weird dream-ghosts pop out of nowhere, and some of the raincoat killer bits can get fairly tense

chronovore · « **Reply #58 on:** June 07, 2010, 01:13:52 AM »

How's it compare with Condemned? That game scares the piss out of me when I play with headphones on.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #59 on:** June 07, 2010, 02:15:49 AM »

it's nowhere near as scary, condemned is one of the few games i've played that made me get up and turn the lights on

it's more strange-creepy than scary, then towards the end it just goes full-blown nuts
