    Default Deadly Premonition! The WTF of the Year?

    Has anyone else been playing this? It's a new game for the 360, and I think I'm in love.

    Imagine, if you will, a bizarre combination of Resident Evil 4, Twin Peaks, Saints Row, the Prisoner, and Silent Hill. There's a little bit of Rogue-like in there too. I honestly can't figure out exactly how to classify it more firmly. It's such a weird mishmash of concepts and genres that it sort of stands on it's own.

    You play an FBI agent with an imaginary friend who's attempting to solve a series of murders in a small town. Everyone in the town is just as nuts as you are, too. You divide your time between running weird quests for the residents and going through more RE4 style zombie stomping sessions. You also play as your imaginary friend in Clock Tower/Silent Hill style events. This, of course, assumes that you've been eating and sleeping and having your suits dry cleaned while you collect trading cards based on your adventures. I am not making any of this up.

    It's twenty bucks brand new, and even though it's VERY rough around the edges, It's worth picking up for its sheer kitsch factor. I love this time in the console generation: all the weird, nutty stuff starts trickling in, and it always costs next to nothing.

    Is this a disk game? I saw one of my friends playing it the other day and it looks and sounds interesting. I haven't seen a copy locally at all.

    I've seen it at Gamestop. Thought it was an old release for $20. Sounds like one I would want to play when I finally bite the 360 bullet. From the description, it sounds as if this thing is primed to go cult.

    Red Seeds Profile is the PS3 version. In both English in Japanese, you'll need to get the Asian version as it's import only. Not interested enough to import it anyways.

    It looks like it could be on the PS2 or XBOX also. I think Xenosaga 2 and 3 pulled off the same graphics. This is the only reason I'm not interested, as one part I've seen looks nice, but it was a storyline part.

    The graphics are... Well, they're shit. Blue Stinger quality. It sort of adds to the charm though, in a Plan 9 From Outer Space kind of way.

    I've been wanting to pick this up since I read that horrible IGN review for it, I love the Twin Peaks theme it has going on. It was supposed to be released alongside with the 360, but something happened and it wasn't. There's supposedly going to be an Asian "English language version" released according to Play-Asia, so I may end up having to import it if that's the case.

    In any case, I just finished this game and loved every minute of it!

    Graphically, it's much better than what is stated. It's very detailed, but in a "last generation" sort of way. The story was a bit confusing at times, though really engaging.

    SPOILERS!

    I am not too sure, but are there different endings depending on the action you choose near the end? The one in which the player has to decide whether or not to kill Emily, York/Zach, or Kaysen. I chose Emily, and from the looks of it the ending might be the same for all selections.

    Now to play the game on Easy and Hard, just to get the achievements. I will try to continue from the last chapter, the Epilogue chapter, but on hard, to see if I can access the "Hard" achievement.

    Also, any idea on how to obtain he "Completed" achievement? Does it have to do with completing all side quests and/or collecting all cards? I am going to find more cards when I reload the game data, but I would like to know exactly how to achieve this.

    Still, it was a great game and I hope they either continue the franchise or at least make similar games like this one.

    The most disturbing part was Thomas as a woman... eww

    Damn it now I really want this game too.

    I may pick up an extra copy for my sister in law because she loves horror type games.

    I'd rather play this one (and almost anything else) on the PS3, but I'm not shelling out $50 for it. Will it matter if it's the English only version or the English/Chinese one?

    This game is extremely mediocre. I played it for a few hours with a friend, and literally made it no where. Very fun to play with a friend in the room, sort of like watching a bad movie. By yourself? I'd say pass.

    Your buying decision can probably best be swayed by watching this clip.

    Default Deadly Premonition

    how is it no one has made a thread on this yet? lol impossible


    Graphics...lets be serious, 1st generation low budget ps2 graphics at BEST

    Sound design? basically 3 songs looping over and over again and always syncing up at the wierdest times taking you out of the story, sound often cuts out during dialog and volume levels can change without notice

    game mechanics? dated, barely functional on the ps1 and completely unforgivable by todays standards

    controls...UNPLAYABLE, plays like a game that was originally designed on the dreamcast then ported over but controls were left intact



    all that being said, I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!!! lol this game has some magical pact with the devil, it delivers charm in spades, this falls into the so bad its good then bad but back to good again category lol, seriously for a budget title i personally feel you get more than your moneys worth

    anyone else play this???

    Always do advanced search and search titles only. There's one that can be done through Google for stuff that has words three letters or less, hopefully someone posts this way once again because I don't remember.

    You totally should, especially if you feel like playing Resident Evil, GTA, Shenmue, or Sobokan. Or if you don't feel like watching Twin Peaks but want to bask in its glory anyway.

    I've been buying all the ten dollar copies I run into and giving them to friends. Not a single one has "gotten" it, though. This makes me sad.

    Oh yeah: Giantbomb.com has a video play-through of the ENTIRE FUCKING GAME. It's in the Endurance Run section, and it's very very funny. Highly recommended.

    I never had any interest in this game at all until I read this (which may OK be from 2011, but whatever).
