I'm not sure I see what was so great about the infinite magnum. I mean, I used it on the final boss, but otherwise I just stuck with the infinite machinegun for the regular goons, the flamethrower for the wall crawlers, and the shotgun for the raincoat killer. And this is on the harder difficulties, too - my most recent save is having beaten the game on Hard. I should go back and re-play it (again) one of these days just to 100% it on Easy again.

Hate the wall-crawlers so damn much, though.

Some days I want to go back to greenvale so bad.

I never wanted to leave. Actually leaving town was one of the hardest parts of the game for me.

Oh hey, thread revive.

I just started playing this. It's weird. And easy. And, uh. . . the victim's name is Anna Graham.

There's a character name for every letter of the alphabet. Seriously, look at a list of the cards, sometime.

There are other significant aspects relating to the characters' names and the alphabet, but I won't go into them since they involve spoilers. You should pick up on it once you check out the list of names, after beating the game though.

This is good news :) I figured that if Deadly Premonition came to the PS3 outside Japan, that it would be an enhanced version, since Sony in America has a policy of not allowing late ports to their system without significant gameplay additions.

Put would an HD version of Deadly Premonition loose some of its charm?

Just finished replaying this and 100% the Japanese PS3 version so now I'm kind of angry but whatever.

Beat it the other day.

I like how horrible the other world segments are. No challenge whatsoever, right up until the crawlers come around. Then they become super threatening. Then you figure out how to fight the crawlers (just run past them, turn around, and shoot) and it goes back to being extremely boring with even more boring bits thrown in the middle to shake things up.

I can't imagine what anyone would get out of replaying this game. Or collecting all the cards. The sidequests I guess I can understand, but you can always go back and replay chapters so there's no reason to start fresh to see them all. Same with some of the more obscure cutscenes. But then those are on youtube anyway.

What a terrible, hilarious little game.

Hey so the director's cut is out now. Who got it? My copy should be arriving tomorrow.

News thread says it is buggy and framey as hell, wait for patch.

This distresses me greatly.

I couldn't locate that in the news thread. I'm distressed about that if it's true! Still, I'm pretty pumped to have any excuse to play the game again.

I pre-ordered it, and should also have it tomorrow. I won't know the difference if there are problems with the port since I've never tried the game before, and I'm sure not going to wait for a patch.

I played it for a minute, it's not unplayable, just really annoying.

Glitchy sound and low frame rates are way more irritating than some wonky shooting.

I don't remember the original having any of these problems, and this version is supposed to have an improved engine, it shouldn't have more issues.

I remember there being sound issues, definitely, and the framerate hiccups were a thing as well.

But yeah "improved engine" is sounding like the opposite of wht is happening here.

parker · Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 6:06 pm

As if the map wasn't hard enough to use already.

Though other than that and title screen music being static-y the first time I turned the game one the problems haven't really been that noticeable for me, but I have an original model ps3 and I've heard it's worse on newer ones.

Wasn't the game released on PS3 in Japan too? This just seems really clumsy. Oh well, time to prove how terrible I am with my money.

Is it safe to assume that the "HD remastering" and 3D support is what's screwing with the performance?

wourme · Joined: 05 Dec 2006 Location: Building World

This is a pretty interesting game. I like how, when you drive around with other people in the car, they don't seem to care when you go in the wrong direction, crash a lot, go through the forest, etc. (all unintentional because driving is tricky).

I haven't played the original for comparison, but I haven't noticed any significant performance problems so far. I have the old-style PS3. Nothing like how in SH3 HD everything slowed to a crawl when you were out on the street (fixed in that final patch).

DaleNixon · Joined: 04 Dec 2006 Location: dirty dirty south

Ditto on the performance problems not being anything worse than the original. And the sound problems aren't really that bad or noticeable for me. I also have a first release PS3.

This game gives me the same sort of feeling I got from Disaster Report and Raw Danger as far as how navigating the world feels. I can't really place why.

I'm enjoying my second visit to Greenvale. I'm going to shave in this playthrough and have my suits cleaned on the reg.

If it weren't for the title screen music being messed up and the frame rate in the opening tutorial area being all jacked I wouldn't have noticed anything worse than the original. I'm also replaying all the otherworld areas to get all the cards this time and the opening area had the problems again, so I guess it's just something with that area, everything else has been fine.

Good to hear not everyone is experiencing the same problems I am—I've got one of the early 250GB slim PS3s, so hardware models seem to play a big part in all of this. I actually didn't have many problems in the title screen or in the opening area but moreso in Greenvale itself and in buildings. Like I said before, it's not unplayable even with that, but I personally can't do it because of the heavy eyestrain the game is giving me.
