Amazing.

 

[Birdo]

I'll assume it's exclusive due to the shitty graphics.

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Could it still be directed by Swery ? Didn't he leave the company some years ago ?

 

[EightBit Man]

Deadly Premonition was so freaking underappreciated. Looking forward to the sequel.

 

[bronk]

What the fuck? Buying a Switch for this.

 

[Hostile_18]

Omfggggg yes yes yes!

Sequel to one of my favourite games of all time!

So Switch exclusive forever? If so looks like I'm getting a Switch lol.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I'm curious as to whether or not it's exclusive. If it is, I'll buy the original on the Switch as well, otherwise I'll just buy the sequel on XB1.

 

[Hostile_18]

I don't know about you Zach but I really want this on the PS4.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

physical or only digital?

 

[TheShadowLord]

YUCK

 

[Fushitsusha]

Western dev?

I don't know about you Zach but I really want this on the PS4.

I don't understand how this isn't on the PS4.

Is SWERY involved with this tho? Dunno how I would feel about a non SWERY Deadly Premonition.

 

[Fushitsusha]

Is SWERY involved with this tho?

doubt it, it was too good to be true.. still looks nice though.

 

[Hostile_18]

If its not as good an entry we can always ignore it. The fact the first game lay the blueprint out of what a Deadly Premonition game can be gives them an excellent starting point.

If theres more than one song on the one radio channel I'll be hugely disappointed.

 

[Revolutionary]

Need confirmation of Swery involvement before I can get excited about this.

 

[Fushitsusha]

physical or only digital?

The first game seems to get a limited one. so most likely the same with the sequel.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

$40 for the original is a bit much. Going to wait to see how much of an improvement it is over the last gen versions.

I wonder what version it is. I heard the directors cut is a little worse than the original back in the day?

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I wonder what version it is. I heard the directors cut is a little worse than the original back in the day?

I played the Director's Cut on PS3 and it ran so poorly that I ended up just waiting to play the 360 version on XB1.

This place is doing the limited physical release for the first one in Europe/Australia (at least). Not sure if they're the only ones doing it and will ship to US, or if someone else in the US is doing it:

Deadly Premonition: Origins - Numskull Games

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words...

[ranmafan]

The second biggest announcement for today for me. Just amazing. All I can say. Can’t wait!

 

[Hostile_18]

No spoilers but the final boss of deadly premonition gives you more reason to want that person dead then any other boss in the history of gaming lol. Their list of crimes against you are outrageous!

 

[Fushitsusha]

Swery has confirmed being writer/director.

 

[Clover904]

Well damn, wish I still had a Switch. Heard good things about the original game, and the sequel looks fun.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Ok whew, I was honestly beginning to question what the point of even making it would be if he wasn't.

 

[Revolutionary]

 

[Fushitsusha]

japanese direct has more footage.

 

[quickwhips]

Where is bc for xbox?

 

[Hostile_18]

So what's the deal is Nintendo part financing it like Ultimate Alliance 3? Or timed exclusive etc.

It's bad having to but a console for one game*

*But I'm still gonna do it lol.

 

[Snakey125]

WAIT WUT

I totally didn't expect THIS. Hot damn

 

[Fox Mulder]

Wow. I loved it on the 360 when it first came out. Nintendo is actually getting me jealous.

 

[Hostile_18]

The PS4 speculation commences. Anyone up for a Sinners Sandwiche while we wait?

[DKehoe]

Holy shit. This is amazing news.

 

[evanft]

So many questions:

• Is Nintendo publishing and/or financing either Origins or the sequel?
• Will origins be based on the director's cut of the game or the original?
• What changes, if any, are there in Origins from whatever version it's based on?
• Is my body ready?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Son of a bitch. I wanted another DP for PC. Might get DP2 for Switch, once we get solid confirmation that it's either full or timed exclusive.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Wish they could release first one physical. I have it on PS3 though. Never beat it. Its really weird/quirky. Its like twin peaks.

This is great news.

 

[Hostile_18]

Origins isn't published by Rising Star Games (but they are "excited' about it).

Sounds like DP2 is timed exclusive (they are answering everyone's questions but the XB/PS4 ones.

 

[darkangel-212559]

Hyped to hell

 

[CDiggity]

I just hope it doesn't fall into the trap of trying too hard to recapture the spirit of the original, as a lot of sudden sequels to cult classics have ended up.

There was such a purity to the first game which I feel would be impossible to recreate due to the new awareness from players/developers.

If it keeps mirroring Twin Peaks that IMO is one of the few shows that had a massive gap and came back at the same quality as which it left.

Like Bon Jovi I'm going to keep the faith!

 

[Chiggs]

Somehow this is ready, but Doom 64 won’t come out for, basically, 3 months. Okay.

 

[DansDans]

This is the best news ever - a sequel to this game

I hope the car ride conversations are just as ridiculous as the first game

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Nice get. Switch is the new PS2, confirmed.

 

[Harlock]

The framerate in the trailer looks spot on.

 

[synchronicity]

I really enjoyed the first. It had some issues/bugs, but it had so much charm and quirk that it was easy to forgive.

Coincidentally I'm rewatching the original Twin Peaks series at the moment too.

 

[Vawn]

I'm not usually a graphics whore, but these graphics and animations are pretty hard to stomach.
