NowGamer reviews Deadly Premonition on Xbox 360 - "There’s something of a perverse pleasure in finding a game like Deadly Premonition. If you’re the sort of person that enjoys digging out books nobody has read, films noboy has watched and games that are rarely played, then this is for you; it’s got cult hit written all over it. If having these sorts of things on your shelves gives you a warm feeling of superiority, the you’ll no doubt all ready be drawn to Deadly Premonition’s Lynch-like surrealism and murder mystery plot."
Deadly Premonition is a weird, weird cocktail that doesn't go down smooth for everyone, but it's still absolutely worth sampling.
It’s sooooo janky but the story is so good and the agent is so quirky I loved it thouroughly, the story is that good that you can actually make it through all of its jankiness and issues .
It’s a diamond in the rough and rough is saying lighly.
This game deserves a remake out of any game I can think of .
If they fixed the combat ,driving and movement this would be one of my favorite games all time and it already is in a way.
I enjoyed this back during ps3 days. I'd buy it again if they re released it fixed up a little. I had fun with it.
Twinfinite: "Sometime comedy and horror are one and the same! Find out which moments from our favorite horror games made us laugh instead of cry."
ok I believe that Deadly Premonition 2 scene described in the article, takes the cake! Although one could argue that there are so many memorable ridiculous moments in this game.
This week on COG Considers, we tackle one of the most tired and unpleasant tropes in horror games: why games--and every other pop culture avenue--are so determined to paint people with Dissociative Identity Disorder as murderers.
Are they? You are fixed on Japanese games that are anime based/fashioned. Perhaps if you were not playing games that are similar to the animes that inspired them you would have more/different experiences.
When Cliche and Troupes are the building blocks, you can’t expect much. Just like you cannot expect good case study when the tester/observer has practically no variance in test subjects.
Sooooo many horror games out there... you really gotta explore some more.
Nice review. Sounds like it might have the same kind of charm to it as games like Earth Defense Force has.
The David Lynch reference sounds interesting, if the game really has the humor from the movies, it should be fun.
I might buy it for PS3 as soon as it drops in price.
I hope the European release finds success. This game has become pretty well liked by most Western critics. Euro reviews won't be as prone to the kneejerk reactions from American mainstream sites like IGN, who probably got 2 hours in and slapped a bad score on it. Hopefully more scores like this come around and DP is accepted as a great game.
is it true that it will release on xbox360 on 17th of September (source Wikipedia)..??? I like not ordinary games :P :)
damn it!! I hope it's still coming, not been canceled..
