And I remember reading that the game became Deadly Premonition after being completely remade because it was too much like Twin Peaks when it was Rainy Woods. I can only think it was a complete ripoff. And it would still be godlike.

Fresh from throwing down my pre-order, and I can't wait. Already cleared it on the 360 but I'll take any chance to show this game more love. Also seriously looking forward to the new content. Went through Amazon for convenience, but kinda wish I went through Gamestop if only because I think that espresso suit is suave as hell.

I wonder if the sheriff was more like Harry S. Truman. I always thought it was odd how different he was.

Nonsense. Admittedly, I'm not overly sensitive to frame rate issues, but I've played up through chapter 6, and the game is perfectly playable. Frame rate chugs a few spots (I've mostly noticed it during object pick-up screens of all things), but it's nothing like, say, late game/DLC Fallout 3. That was nasty frame rate problems.

They name sound problems and constant low framerate.

Did they actually improve the graphics?
Looks the same. Maybe I would need to see the games side by side.

Some scenes (like in the intro) are improved or rather more detailed.

Is this basically something that isn't going to phase someone who regularly plays PS1 era games? There's noteable slowdown in Banjo Tooie, but I'm still able to enjoy that game.

re: mizzurna falls *ahem* you're welcome
BlackLagoon's post is a bit reassuring, seems the red room intro is making a bad first impression on people

How improved are the controls?

Really strange this is coming out several years after the 360 version and at twice the price. That's not going to stop me from buying it again though.

I just saw the stereoscopic 3d part.
I'm amazed and laughing.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I think it'll be a while till the game gets here, though. The wait is killing me!
Well it is an improved version with new stuff.

I want this game. Quite a bit.

Never played the original, only seen bits of the Endurance Runs. But I'd guess, not a whole lot. It's half-assed Resident Evil 4 style, with no shooting without aiming or moving while aiming a gun. Aiming feels awkward, and is on the right stick, which seems weird to me for a game with those controls. I think it's all the Yakuza: Dead Souls that I've played recently that made me expect aiming on the left stick on my janky Japanese shooters.
The sections with altered perspective seem to have been removed though, so the controls stay consistent throughout the game. I think the car controls are different, not sure how exactly they compare. They're not exactly great though.
Still, I'm enjoying the game, and it's not exactly hard enough for the controls to be much of a bother - they generally get the job done.

So did I? I hope they at least fixed the driving controls.

Well, you can at least move while you have a melee weapon ready. Is that new?
Uhh, not AS broken?
Seriously though it was kind of a half baked RE4 clone initially for combat/controls, it worked but wasn't really ideal. That's been changed here though.

Pre-ordered this today. Hopefully the price doesn't plummet the day after release like most games.

I haven't played the old game but the controls are passable. You can auto aim with R2, which points your gun crosshair right at an enemy. Aiming yourself is janky.
I don't know about a new map, is it the zoomed version by pressing select again? It does work but obstructs a part of your screen.
The framerate is nasty but not unplayable at all, I think its on par with Dragons Dogma which still is kind of inexcusable as DP looks like shit, honestly speaking.
Sound problems could be true. In some buildings there is a loud buzzing noise, dunno wtf it is. But very good game still, glad I bought it.

That's definitely new.
When you pressed back on the xbox it just went to the map in the main menu. Does the map in the main menu zoom out far and does it still rotate "north" to where you're looking?
Autoaim was in the original.
Was it? Perhaps I didn't use it.
You shouldn't have. It made for terrible body shots. It was pretty much useless.
Have you used the in-game camera yet? I wonder if it drops images in the XMB photo folder.

They should have bundled a soundtrack with the game.
Make sure to use spoiler-free guides for sidequests.

Word of warning for anyone who has pre-ordered the game from somewhere that is offering DLC codes, don't download them from the PSN store until after you have booted the game up and installed the game data first. If you download the DLC first the game will give a warning that the currently installed game data is incorrect or something along those lines and it won't start up until you delete the DLC.

Do we have any idea if this adds new side-quest that weren't in the original game?

How Import-friendly is it? (language barrier and all)
lol reminds me that in the original 360 localization the english subs were full of errors all over the place...and all the VA was done in english in the first place XD

On Mizzurna Falls:
I can't believe people are talking about it! I actually own a copy, so a few things I should note for people going in:
-You can get by without knowing Japanese, but I feel when I play it I'm missing a big part of the title. The dialogue, when spoken, is in English (well, Engrish), but all the in-game text isn't. I'd say imagine playing Harvest Moon or Deadly Premonition but you couldn't read any of the text.
-The game is buggy. I've had hilarious times especially with the cars. Pushing people forward by driving into them, watching the AI cars spazz out either because of something I did or sometimes just naturally.
-The world is interesting, but seems kind of barren at first. Once you get a better understanding of the town, it starts to make more sense though.
-The music is nice. I recall liking it quite a bit for a PS1 game.
My memory of it is foggy, so I should probably try playing it again. I remember scenes involving fighting and bears and the like.

Red Seeds Profile was fine without any English text, but I think I would have been lost without a guide (at least for sidequests). I also felt that I was missing out on a few things because of the language barrier.
Damn squirrel keychains.

Is this a setting you have to change or is it English by default? Seems kinda weird and unnecessary for a game released only in Japan to have recorded English voice acting.
