I know this is shallow but that's what's kept me away from the game for all these years as well, it would have been fine on the PS2 (isn't that what it started life for?) but I have a low tolerance for shitty graphics in HD, it's just a pet peeve of mine.
But I do love weird Japanese games as much as the next guy, I will jump on the chance to finally play the original soon and the sequel, are there any differences between the Switch version and the Director's Cut?

If having average graphics means the scope and scale is as big as the last game I'd much rather they stay like that.
Plus its always a little jarring if they change too much over sequels. I value consistency lol.

Ehhhh, I feel like there's little excuse for the sequel not to look a little bit better than the first one, I mean it's coming out a decade later.

Oh I'm sure the final product will be a bit better I just meant it wouldn't be massive or up to a AAA release as this is a smaller team after all.
Senuas Sacrifice was made by 20 people and that had amazing graphics but little scope. I'd rather the reverse for a story heavy game like Deadly Premonition.

It's not.

Apparently it's got elements of the DC version, like the HUD.
I think they just left out the unpopular new cut scenes?

Also, what happened to The Good Life?

Yeah from what I read it has none of the new content from the DC versions, but that's not a big deal whatsoever in my opinion. If anything it's better off without them.

Are you perhaps implying that DP is a game that appeals to the general PS4, Bone and PC audiences and also that the average player on those system can appreciate DP?
You're DP level weird if you think so.

I was implying that the general Switch audience skews younger with some older fans thrown in.
I’d love to see some statistics that prove me wrong though.

The Switch is pretty much the new Vita, and with Sony becoming Western AAA focused, I'd actually argue the main audience for weird shit and Japanese games, ie DP's target demographic, is primarily Nintendo's at this point.

I don’t think I would agree.
But if you had some evidence of this I’d love to see it.

It's getting a bit annoying not knowing if its Switch exclusive or not.
Judging by the lack of answers seems like it's almost certainly timed exclusive only.

I don't think that stereotype holds up this generation. Switch is getting tons of mature games that are clearly not geared towards kids or the type of players who only play family friendly games. They seem to be doing very well there.

OK I'll answer the exclusive question as I did research into it.
Deadly Premonition 2 is a Switch exclusive "At Launch" according to Rising Star Games. Other platforms are not out of the question in the future, just as of now they are not discussing the issue.
Nintendo Life has an update on it that confirms it.
As for the audio issues in the Switch port of Origins: Jim Sterling tweeted out "I had some brief correspondence with someone on the dev team this evening and they seem to care very deeply about this port, so I’ll remain hopeful. " So that to me is a somewhat decent sign, as the PC version got a patch that fixed controller support almost and that was it.

Ah yes I forgot the part where they pointed out this is the only, single game that will ever be released on the Nintendo Switch (or as they call it, the DP2 Machine).

I don't just mean graphics, the entire thing looks awkward and has terrible framerate. I don't being "faithful" extends that far.

I can't even properly describe how stoked I am for this. When I saw the announcement I shouted "WHAT" aloud. I never in a million years would have expected a Deadly Premonition sequel.
lmao @ people bashing the way it looks. Leave our topic, please. Let us have our weird awkward mid-budget game to ourselves.

At the end of august they brought out first wave of surveys and ingame character models, so it goes pretty well.

Like what? Zelda and Mario? Nintendo hasn’t appealed to me since I was about 13 years old. They just seem to appeal to a younger generation.
