DP is pretty great so far, really enjoy it. The performance in the red room was awful, giving a bad first impression but after that its very doable and playable. I have not played RSP and no 360 version either, but there doesn't seem to be any challenge at all. Enemies die after one swing with the pipe, or after 3 or so gun shots. There is no difficulty setting. But its fine, the gameplay isn't the meat of this game (although its better than impressions seemed to call it, perhaps a DC improvement) but its rather the atmosphere and experience and it really delivers there!

Looking forward to playing this again for the additions. Ive actually been playing through Red Seeds Profile to get the platinum trophy for it this past few weeks in anticipation of playing the directors cut. Even though Ive been playing the original a lot this week, I certainly will go back to it again once the new copy arrives.
Yup, i'll defenitely try this this tonight
does it really exist?

Melee weapons are stronger than firearms.
Do the side-quests that give you the guitar with infinite durability.

Apparently so, and I'm going to make one when I get this game.

even on the 360 version the enemies at the beginning were really easy
there's one particular enemy that recurs later on that was a pain in the ass if you didn't have infinite weapons
Excuse my ignorance, as i know i could probably find this out with some simple searching. But since i know so little about the game, other than its reputation, i'd like to avoid reading too much about it and keep it a fresh experience.
As someone who has a 360 version of the game kicking around and sealed. Are there enough improvements/enhancements to warrant buying the PS3 version, to have for my first playthrough? Also, if someone could post a spoiler list of some of the improvements, i'd be very grateful.

woah I'll try that too, thanks.
Just got my copy. Mandatory install at the beginning, takes about 5 minutes and uses about 3 GB. The game supports sixaxis motions for things like driving, but it's optional. Also you can't have both vibration and sixaxis motions enabled at the same time.
EDIT: Audio is sometimes glitchy and HOLY SHIT AT THE FRAMERATE. I'm in the red room and the framerate is lower than 20, almost feels like Blight Town.

Word of advice, put the volume on full blast at the beginning. You'll thank me when you hear it. (if it hasn't been replaced, hopefully it hasn't. It's hilarious)

Shit. How did this pass Quality Control/Certification?
If it has better controls, graphics and entirely new scenes, I would advise you to get the PS3 version.

OK that sandwich is getting tried out!
No idea. I'm booting my 360 copy now to compare things a bit.
Thank you. Going to order it up along with a copy of Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. Good times ahead.
Yep, sounds like the original PS3 version. It also had Sixaxis controls, but it was kinda hard to figure out what they were for in Japanese. You can also use sixaxis for fishing, too, and I think melee weapons?

Yeah they can be turned on and off separately. Its for Driving, fishing, dodging and a few others. When vibration is turned on, those options can't be selected. I just put vibration on, not going to even try sixaxis. I also have a Move but no desire to play the game with it.
I quickly compared the two. The red room and the car crash location at the beginning runs on what seems to be a very smooth 30fps on Xbox, but is like less than 20 fps on PS3. PS3 version looks better and has a much better FOV (Xbox version is more zoomed in than PS3 version). I really doubt the framerate is going to get any better.
Yep

sux about the framerate but improved graphics are a decent compromise
a bit nervous of how the
parts will be since those dropped to like 15 fps on the 360

People on a well known Spanish forum who already got the game are saying that the game is literally unplayable...

Double the price of original 3 years later and still a mess. Truly amazing for a PS2-level game on the PS3.
Fuck this.

Compared with the 360 version, or something else? Investigate and report back please.

Unplayable? How, exactly? Low framerate and consistency? Mid-screen tearing and/or hardlocks? "Unplayable" isn't specific enough when there are those who would consider many reasonably playable games to be unplayable.

Mostly framerate.

this video of the crash in the beginning looks fine, it's absolutely choppier than the 360 version but still seems perfectly playable
People called Blight Town unplayable and it wasn't. I played Doom on a 386/25 (a few frames per second at most), I can deal with a low framerate...

Figured. The PS3 version of the original release was apparently the same. I imagine that, if they didn't optimize that original release, it was possible that adding more taxing visuals for the DC would make it worse. Any impressions on how much worse it is when S3D mode in on? Probably going to be in single-digits if the hit mirrors those of other games running in 3D. I guess the resolution could drop further to accommodate it.
How is the framerate while running around in town or driving? Or when you are inside a building?

Aww man, I really don't want to cancel my preorder because the game is going to run worse than the 360 version.
I hope this gets addressed in the form of a patch.

Can anyone verify if the fps problem is worse than the silent hill downpour fps? Because that game has a god awful fps to the point where I get migraines after few hours of playing it.
Yeah, this part was rough on 360. Not sounding good for the PS3 here.
I am still curious to see how the in game camera works...has it even been shown yet? I watched some of the gameplay that was just uploaded on youtube but I didn't see it yet.
Oh wow, is Laura Palmers portrait actually in Deadly Premonition? I am going to go play the 360 version and see for myself. I just read about it on a list of easter eggs in the game. Weird that I never came across it...

the uploader of the video I linked to a few posts up has put up a couple more parts, the framerate looked fine in those. maybe those comments on the spanish forum were based on the red room framerate apparently being horrible, can someone who has it and has played a good amount confirm

Yeah I'm a bit worried about my pre-order but I hope it's just an over reaction.

Did you guys knew about this? From the PS1 Appreciation/Collectors Thread of Ugly-Ass Polygons
The Tumblr blog is an obligatory read for the DP fan.
another title along those lines is the ridiculously ambitious mizzurna falls by human entertainment, i imagine swery used the basis of this game as a template for deadly premonition since it has a similar feel to its gameplay based on the videos
this tumblr blog has a pretty nice expose on it

Never heard of it before...wow! That write-up makes me wanna play it. I've always loved Human Entertainment for their Clock Tower and the older Fire Pro games, so I shouldn't be surprised at wanting to play this one. Thanks for posting this info.

Er, it's pretty obvious they both ripped off Twin Peaks. Deadly Premonition is so much like Twin Peaks it's not even funny... well actually it's hilarious.
But I would love to play that game. No English version (fan translation?) exists?

I hate when I see really cool games that never got localized.
Looks awesome though.
