Its looks like a PAL release is on the cards! A lot of UK online retailers have it slated for a September 14th release date. Woohooo cant wait!

chronovore · « **Reply #61 on:** July 29, 2010, 10:56:27 PM »

Enjoy your full-priced game!

The Sceneman · « **Reply #62 on:** July 29, 2010, 11:04:13 PM »

Its listed as 17 Pounds at Amazon UK, which at the current rate of like 25-30USD, its not gonna be full priced really.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #63 on:** July 29, 2010, 11:53:23 PM »

Shit really? Super excited then, I was worried this would be $90+

That's nothing, Modern Warfare 2 was AUS$120. Most retailers had marked it down to $90 or so though.

Un-be-lievable. pilonv1 Ive been buying games from blahdvd.com

UK based online retailer, the NZD is real good against the pound atm so Ive been getting some good deals. Not sure how AUD stacks up. 1 pound shipping anywhere in the world. Will be buying DP from them.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 30, 2010, 01:06:23 AM »

Yeah at least we can import from the UK cheaply. zavvi and thehut haven't been too bad either.

Will investigate more in September.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #68 on:** November 08, 2010, 03:12:13 PM »

So the PAL version is out.

Ordered it from the UK as there are no local stockists, 31NZD from blahdvd including postage, so pretty good price. On par with the US price tag of $20. It's outsellling Black Ops on that site

Game is AWESOME.

I poured some milk into my coffee IRL this morning to see if it would tell me anything. I saw the letters "D ... E". What does it mean?!

I've had Deadly Premonition sitting over here since last week but I haven't touched it yet 'cause I bought Brotherhood over the weekend and then Gamefly just sent me Fable 3 and Enslaved. Gonna get to this eventually.

I just can't get into this game. Not because of its uglyness this time, but because of the slow gameplay and horrible shooting.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #77 on:** November 24, 2010, 03:58:12 PM »

the gameplay is fine

I found the game enjoyable enough to play. Maybe you should have pirated the PS3 version instead?

How long will it take you to 1000/1000?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #79 on:** November 25, 2010, 03:11:37 PM »

requires 3 plays, so a looooong time. I'm putting it aside for now and doing a hard mode/collectibles run when I feel like replaying it.

demi · « **Reply #80 on:** November 25, 2010, 06:27:38 PM »

Its not a loooong time. You can run through the game in under 5 hours at most just focusing on story. The only looong part is getting all the cards and shit out of the way. I played it on Hard though first so Normal and Easy were quick.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #81 on:** November 25, 2010, 07:00:41 PM »

I did Normal first with no side stuff. Took 15 hours.

Gonna do Hard mode and all sidequests and collectibles, the infinite ammo weapons will probably help on hard. Although you can just buy max ammo at the item boxes so infinte ammo weapons arent 100% essential.

But replaying it so soon will just sour the experience imo. I'll leave it for a bit and replay it in a few months time as I will have forgotten the story then, lol.

I will admit a lot of the drive to play the game came from finding out what happens next, so once you know all the twists the game wont be as compeling.

It is a true masterpiece. Its so rare when the cast of a game are all awesome and interesting and likable in their own ways.

chronovore · « **Reply #82 on:** November 25, 2010, 08:22:39 PM »

I might hit this up once I wrap up Viking, which should be very soon.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #83 on:** January 01, 2011, 10:13:09 AM »

Finally got around to this and so far so good. I was actually pleasantly surprised on how well it controlled....I mean it's still janky but it's not as bad as I was expecting after watching some of the Giant Bomb endurance run. Driving is ridiculous though. You barely tap the stick and the car will veer off the road. I definitely don't want to try any of the races if this is going to be the norm.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #84 on:** January 03, 2011, 06:34:12 PM »

you get more time than you ever need for the races, they are only optional anyhows.

I think there's some sort of bug in my game where whenever I push the stick to the left in the menus or when I'm driving the game goes fucking nuts and won't stop going to the left until I correct it by hitting the opposite direction. If this isn't a bug, it sure as hell feels like one. Makes driving around a total pain in the ass.

The game actually gets pretty creepy. Considering the devs limitations the ghouls get quite unnerving at times.

You should really play this wonderful game, if you dont like it you probably like a Sony title that is lame

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #98 on:** January 05, 2011, 03:29:05 PM »

i forgot how awesome this game is. Gonna play it all afternoon!

Maybe I'm misreading, but York keeps on calling the sheriff a "monarch." Isn't the correct word "patriarch?" I played up to chapter 2 months ago and just resumed, so maybe I'm forgetting something.

bonus original trailer from when it was called "Rainy Woods":

I wonder why it took another 3 years to come out. I assumed they got a cease and desist from whoever owns the Twin Peaks rights, but from what I've played, a lot of the same scenes are in the final game.

brob · « **Reply #99 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:47:00 PM »

they actually had to re-record all the dialog that mention the town by name because of the change from 'rainy woods' to 'greenvale', if I remember correctly.

chronovore · « **Reply #100 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:58:13 AM »

Why would they need to change it from "Rainy Woods"? I can understand if they made them take out a mysterious midget talking in front of a red velvet curtain, but it's not like "Twin Peaks" is too particularly close to "(Adjective) (natural feature)" as a place name.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #102 on:** January 06, 2011, 09:54:47 PM »

Just did the first "dungeon" in the lumber mill. There's something very strangely good about the shooting and I think it has everything to do with the enemies' movements. all that walking backwards and wave dashing around and shit actually makes for some good tension. It's a nice compromise between making enemies bullet sponges that just walk straight at you (like RE games) and giving you infinite ammo. Even the long QTE section at the end felt less like a gratuitous God Of War QTE and more like a well-placed and genuinely fun RE4 QTE. You can't fight the raincoat guy, so you have to run like hell from him.

I get the same feeling from this game that I did from No More Heroes. It's fucked up on a technical level that few games are...its budget limitations are painfully obvious, maybe the guys working on it didn't know exactly what they were doing, but it's damn fun and you just want to see what crazy shit happens next.

RESPECK!

This game is like a parallel universe where an unknown Japanese dev company created Twin Peaks instead, then had Tommy Wiseau do the translation job. Amazing.

From the sound of things, there were a lot of other similarities as well. In the process of changing around some things with the main character and story, they also changed the name of the town as well.

It plays a lot like Resident Evil 4 to me. I just arrived at the Hospital during the second chapter. Should I leave and do some side missions? It was raining on my way so I stopped to try to find the wet flower but couldn't.

I should make a list of all the movies he talks about. I bet they're all awesome. Loved the dialogue about Jennifer Grey.

The end of the Lumber Mill level was a bit of a cunt. Just seemed to drag on forever. And why are there black holes where enemies seem to spawn from endlessly?
