trip report
i've been playing this game for a few hours. its story and ambiance are so much like twin peaks. the music, characters, you can tell the dudes who made it were fans and yet it doesn't feel like bad fan fiction although it is a silly game. its not at all the type of game you would think it would be either. i thought it was going to be like silent hill going into it, but it's not.
first off the graphics are fucking terrible. pretty much original xbox quality. there are only like 4 music tracks in the game so far but they are all cool. controls are decent, kinda like budget re4 controls. i like the main character and how they designed him. he's a weird guy who talks to himself and is mad particular about his coffee and food items. he's just like the main character in twin peaks. he has an alternate personality that he talks to all the time: the player. He'll just chat with you and ask you questions and shit all the time. it's actually a really cool idea from a design standpoint and they seem to be pulling it off really well so far.
before the game starts, the main character, york, is hanging out in some dream forest grove with two little twin boys. it feels like something out of twin peaks immediately.
you start off wrecking the main characters car into a tree because he was arguing on the phone with someone about the sadist/masochist relationship between tom and jerry from the cartoons and trying to light two smokes at once. one for him and one for you the player. then you have to walk through the woods and theirs some silent hill style monsters. combat is pretty much like it is in re4 except theirs a lock on button. for a budget game its not bad really. so at this point, i was like ok this is silent hill ripoff straight up. but no. you wind up in town staying at this hotel which i spent a long time looking around. you meet up with the old lady who owns it and she makes breakfast. you both sit at eiter side of a giant mr. burns style table and the main character has to yell the same shit over and over to her again its really funny. but its around here that you realize this game has more in common with shenmue than silent hill most of the time. i left the hotel and hopped in a police car. i looked at the map and the little town is fucking huge. tons of places and shit. while im aimlessly driving, york starts talking to me for like literally 5 minutes about the 80's movie tremmors and kevin bacon. he goes on to talk about other movie shit and just chats. it's cool.
its completely open world and theres a time system. bars only open at night, etc. theres also a sleep and hunger system. you can pick up a seemingly endless variety of little food items from all over the place to eat and can sleep at the hotel, rest stops, in a jail cell, pretty much anywhere. i haven't had to do either yet, but its almost lunch time and im gonna eat some crackers and a can of pickles in a minute. you can shoot guns in all the buildings and at people and the game charges you a collateral damage fee for shooting peoples shit. you get money and you can buy stuff like guns and food and random things that i dont know what the fuck they do if anything.
so the game seems overall like an open world detective game with survival horror action 'stages'. you go around questioning witness's, looking for clues, eating lunch, and fishing in the river while the main character chats to you about random shit. it definitely feels like a budget game in terms of polish for sure though. like you'll get out of your car, go in a building, and when you leave the car is parked around front. the voice acting is cheesy but so is the game so it's cool. the dialogue is surprisingly clever and often subversively funny.
i'd say its worth $20. i wish i could record video of it or take screen shots because there's been a ton of funny shit, intentional or not. well i just barfed out a whole bunch of shit about this game now i'm going to go get a slurpee and play it some more toodles.

i just ate an omelette and cornbread at a diner. this game has a ridiculously vast variety of food in it. now i'm solving the mystery of "where is the dead teenage girls prom dress?", a suspenseful vignette which will take me from the living room all the way to her closet. and hopefully back again. i walked in her house randomly and her mom is to hysterical to talk until i find the dress. theres a lot of random side things like that in the game.
its kinda like harvest moon, too in that all the suspects/characters have random schedules during the day. every time i enter the moms house, theres a dude in a cowboy hat walking out the front door. if i follow him out, he's there and i can talk to him before he walks off down the road. but when i go back inside he's there again. eternally doomed to be walking out of the front door.

i got to an abandoned saw mill with the sheriff and the deputy. they wanted to come in but i was all like "no im going in to investigate alone." they said fine we'll wait outside. hurry up. i went inside, found a cot, and slept for four hours and woke up and ate a tomato.

its 2200, im winding down the first day. i just drank 4 cocktails at the bar, drove to the deputies house and walked around in the rain peering into her windows as she worked out, smoked a cigarette, and did laundry. ejaculation complete. time to drink more.

| Gumball Dad wrote: |
yeah thats what i'm seeing too.
the game lets you go up to windows on houses and look inside. it cuts to an inside view from the window and you can move the analog stick to look around. its perfect for snooping. all the characters seem to have pretty in depth routines when they're at home, not just when they're going places during the day. its fun to be a pervert and justify it by saying its "for the investigation."

Was wasting time before the town meeting and I spotted Richard getting in his car. I run up to him and he goes, "I'm getting ready for that big meeting" or some shit and starts to drive off. I followed him in my car to see where he was going. Yo drove to the Town Hall, got out of his car, and stood in the rain for an hour and a half waiting for the meeting to start.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Twin Peaks of Liberty
It looks like a Twin Peaks game made with the Metal Gear Solid 2 engine.
Can you shoot the sheriff? |

| i'd written this off at the sight of zombies, but replacing diane with "the player" as some unexplained presence, and (even if unintentional) the eternally-leaving guy are awesome things for a twin peaks video game to do |

| I'm glad this game finally got released (Rainy Woods, remember?), with some of the Twin Peaks stuff still in it. Was thinking of making a topic about this and Shiren 3, asking why people aren't talking about selectbutton games that have been released. |

man i have not watched any of the youtubes, but unless a random and barely introduced chick gets mouth-tentacle-raped in the opening after you unexplained plane crash in Northern Canada, it doesn't count.
Also, i will play this too. |

I was thinking this because open world+survival horror. But Twin Peaks: The Game is OK with me too. Especially for $20. |

I'm totally going to get this game. Even though it looks like it has some elements I won't like, it sounds like it has plenty of other stuff I will like, and other stuff that's just so damn bizarre that I want to experience it regardless of whether or not I think I'll enjoy it.
Guys, it really sounds to me that this is the game Heavy Rain wanted to be. Someone with both a PS3 and an Xbox should play these two games simultaneously, switching back and forth between them every few hours. |

There's a cool trailer for this on the Japanese PSN right now.
I've also heard that the Asian version will have an English option - if so, could be worth importing since a US PS3 release seems unlikely. |

Needs a Tibet scene where you have to throw rocks at a single glass bottle in third-person.
Heavy Rain is so fucked. 8)

Where did you see it for $50? Because I've got paypal money burning a hole in my pocket.
What language is the audio in the Japanese/Asian version? |

I started playing Deadly Premonition this morning and seriously this 20 dollar budget title is the game to beat. Assuming that the story doesn't completely fall apart anyway (although that would be pretty Lynchian).
