Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut |OT| Day One, there's no but. So says Mr. Stewart.

True, but the responses from the PR guy makes it sound like the issues are only in the PAL version
I found some more gameplay on youtube :

They didn't fix the pop in or horrible resolution/IQ issues ;-;
At least some of the textures do look better I guess, the police office in particular.

What? Fuck frame rate issues, this is SERIOUS if true.
there's the video in the previous page.
That's really strange considering this video has dat whistle playing just fine.

In fact, there's no BGM playing at all in the footage that Persona7 posted. I'm not sure if this is a problem on the game's end or the uploader's end.
Yeah, I just found that footage on youtube so I don't know what the problem is. I hear a slight buzzing but not the music...Is that a sound glitch?
Wow, I see that the game also has save game issues and the pre-order DLC apparently is not compatible with the game? what the hell is going on

What are the chances he's not just simply feigning ignorance on problems they weren't able to fix? The missing music is worrysome. I find it hard to believe the PAL version would be so drastically different from the NA release.

some of this news is not sounding good, however, I am glad my original disc won't depreciate in value with the release of this
Yeah, I don't see what could make them so different outside of different builds for each region.
This is weird. I can look past slight technical issues and a few bugs...but save file glitches? No way.
Found more gameplay on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffQeP90QK6s

For UK people playing the game, please give the move controls a go and report back. Would really love them to be decent.

Damn this studio should have just handed the gameplay part to someone else and said "FIX THIS MESS PLEASE". Incompetence.

Thing is, it's a PS3 game. There shouldn't really be "different builds" for each region, especially when releasing simultaneously. This isn't the PS2 era when that could have been the case.
IGN review is out
www.ign.com/articles/2013/04/26/deadly-premonition-the-directors-cut-review
7.0
+Compelling story
+Quirky characters
+Improved controls and camera
– Not enough new content
– HD makeover barely noticeable
– Some framerate and audio issues
Playing the original version is like pushing a wheelbarrow full of pug dogs – ugly and challenging to maneouvre, but overflowing with personality. And well, it’s still pretty ugly. Although this Director’s Cut has been upscaled to 720p, it’s still one of a few current-generation games with textures so poor that even the in-game signs need subtitles. The upscaling has also had a negative impact on the frame rate, which seems to get bogged down a bit more than it did in the original. Indeed the graphics would barely pass muster in a late-generation PS2 game, but to be fair its low-budget looks have the effect of better serving its schlocky, B-movie sensibilities.
The good news is that it's now far easier to control, both in terms of the new manual camera setup (no more getting turned around in stairwells) and the more logically laid out shooting system for the combat sections. York no longer handles like a treadless tank, and targeting the groaning, backwards-walking Shadow enemies now feels more in line with what you’d expect from a third-person shooter in 2013. It’s not as slick as it could be, but it’s certainly far more functional this time around.

Wow.
Well, I think I'm sticking to my preorder. I'll be happy to come back here and relay my experience for those who are less confident in making a purchase.
Yeah, that was the point I was going for but I didn't convey it well enough.
Hmm, I didn't know they got rid of tank controls completely. That's really interesting. I'm really excited to play through this game again! I wish this version had Leaderboards like the 360 one.
...I actually have two copies coming in. Originally ordered from Amazon, but doesn't seem like they're offering release-day delivery for this game, so I pre-ordered from Gamestop today as a backup. Might send the other copy to a friend who's only had a PS3 this entire gen. I hope they're willing to forgive the technical issues, lol.

There are higher profile games this generation that weren't 720p.
Understanding that, I'm asking if it wasn't 720p as that is a piece of information I do not know. Do you know the answer?

Damn I was all set to buy this, but seeing and hearing all this stuff I think ill just stick with my 360 version.

Oh, I thought you were expressing surprise.
It sounds like that version is even worse.
You can get the Korean version for about 60 or 70 dollars.

Ouch. Well, I don't care about frame rate and graphical glitches, but losing saves and missing music sounds pretty dire.
It was pretty easy on every difficulty. The enemies just became bullet sponges on harder difficulties if you didn't have the right weapons.

Hopefully the "save" issues are really just DLC issues.

the easier this game is the better
Probably wait for more impressions and people to get the game and see what is going on.
Gonna say. I kinda wish the game had auto combat mode
Yo, if you guys want some sweet Deadly Premonition swag, check out this contest that Deadly Premonition/Silent Hill fan extraordinaire Whitney/Chemi Ro is running.
She's giving away a U.S. copy of the Director's Cut, along with a sweet pack of custom Deadly Premonition Trading Cards, one signed by Swery himself!
Enter the contest here:

I'd enter, but I already bought two copies of the game, and I won her cards in a previous contest.

lmao could it be they made the game worse, technically, in some areas. Hmm maybe I don't need another copy of this.
scratch that, I'm defintly buying it to support Swery and Co. Probably won't play it for awhile. I wish they hadn't changed the graphics, it was just asking for trouble. They don't look better enough to justify ANY new framerate problems. I also think the game looks worse overall with the new graphics. Certain things just stick out more now. The visuals don't feel as unified now.

On viewing those videos e frame rate seemed so much worse than the 360 version I remember well...on actual fact, I think the fact that it's cleaner looking made it appear that way to me. The 360 version runs at a similarly low clip.
