it's pretty awesome on the kitsch front. admittedly, i am a fan of c-list gaming, since it rarely tries to pretend that it has more to offer than what the developers ACTUALLY shoved on the disc, for good or ill, and sometimes the inexpert albeit strangely sincere meanderings of the c-lister are more charming and engaging than the smarmy, overthunk facades of the a-listers.

Why was I not aware of this game until today? That sounds amazing. And the video on Destructoid seals the deal.

Drinky is doing his "giving attention to an opinion that'll rile people up" act, but the actual idea is probably sound. Heavy Rain is a curiosity, a very interesting experiment... but it's also a failed experiment, horribly flawed in basically every way. Worst of all, since the game is all plot and zero gameplay, the fact that it has a terribly written story and dialogue (coupled with atrocious voice acting) undermines the whole thing from the start.
Blah blah. Check the links i've provided in this topic for more detail

heavy rain, horrible uncanny valley character models and animation aside, DOES have some gorgeous environments and effects. there. i said something nice about it.
deadly premonition looks like the digital alchemy of cat vomit and a bladder infection. there. i said something bad about heavy rain's competition.
happy?

The prologue in Deadly Premonition is amongst the worst goddamn things I've ever played.
Well, that's enough for me, it's deserves at least a spin, so it's getting a place on my list (or at least, it will once LoveFilm realises the game exists!), Thanks for that.Drinky Crow said:
Anyway, I'll be the first to admit that, when I was a...*ahem* newbie to GAF that Drinky actually made me want to throw bricks through the interweb at him, but I have to say his posting style in endearing after a while. At least one thing, he's consistent, which is more than I can say for 90% of people.
You do realise that to a large portion of GAF, (Usually the section claiming to be the "hardcore") Visuals > Everything else right? So basically you've just admitted that Heavy Rain is far superior to Dealy Premonition.Drinky Crow said:
I think you better give it up now, you can't even argue your case properly, sorry. Oh, and you're banned.

Check the original trailer:

Based was probably not the right term to use, rather complete ripping off instead. With the north west American town, lone charismatic fbi agent, murder clues on the victim's finger nails/mouth, the Red room/Black Lodge, The Man from Another Place, Julie Cruise clone, etc

Everything about that except the words 'low' 'budget' and 'Japanese' sound great.

Oh noes, he even posted after I said he was banned? I better do something. Where's the A-Team when you want them.ZombieSupaStar said:
Hilarity? Drinky is being deadly serious. It is really not his fault that half of the respondents to this thread clearly have no mind of their own and can't realise that not everyone likes "AAA" titles and the way they get a free pass to convey a lacklustre story (remember: opinion) because of it.DidntKnowJack said:
That, and the lulz over his tag aside, and you think that I called you out because you thought this was strictly a joke thread? Oh dear.
It's a simple step by step process:fernoca said:
1: Check if thread is "trolling" a game/system they like
2: See if the person has been "banned" for said thread
3: Post the lulz.
Knowing who Drinky is doesn't come into this simple process.

While Heavy Rain is undoubtedly a better game and probably experience, Deadly Premontion is a misunderstood piece of work. I'm sure that it will be considered a cult classic, one day. Sites like IGN simply missed the entire point.

It's not even out in Europe, apparently, so all this has done is depress me.

Anyway, it may because it's nearly 1am, and I am a bit tired and cranky, but I am really starting to see why many oldies here are right cynical gits nowadays.
No it isn't, and that's made me very sad, as I am now very interested in the game. Boo! Hopefully Rising Star will get round to publishing it in Europe at some point.TheGreatDave said:

Anyone know if the game is region locked? I'm sending it to another GAF member in Colorado to give it a try since he won't buy the game himself and maybe I'll send it to some others willing to try it.

eh those scenes are still in the final (well what ive seen of it so far, havent gotten far into it) and its more "bizarre funny wtf" than "broody silent hill" that the trailer shows.
but one scene does
have an autopsy that's a bit unsettling, but segues right into a mentos-like commercial feeling ending with the main character being like oh well lets get going *wink smile* attitude made me lol

Aside from some rather superficial changes in names and appearances, all of that is in the final game. (The song used in the final is different, but similar in feel to what's in that early trailer.) DP is on both systems, yo. It is a very solid experience if you aren't some pretentious idiot out to claim an imagined and lofty sense of great taste in gamesTheGreatDave said:

Every time you post impressions, it kills me a little more. If they haven't announced a Euro release by the end of March, I'm importing the Japanese PS3 version. I need this game. Should tie in nicely with the Region 2 release of the Twin Peaks Gold box too.

When (if?) it's out in Europe I'm all over it.

Man, I'm glad I imported the US version years ago if it's not out in R2 yet.

I think it hit some parts of Europe a while ago, but the UK release is this month. It's been years since I first watched season one, and I've rewatched it countless times since, but 'cause of the screwed up DVD release, I've never seen Season Two.
I'm so excited for "fresh" Twin Peaks. ;_;
Also; Deadly Premonition has a real time beard growing simulation. Just try and argue against any game with that, people!

"Did you see that Zack?!...clear as a crisp spring morning...F K in the coffee! I knew I could count on it, It never fails"
If that's not the best line ever penned in this industry I don't know what it is!
I'm all for showering cheesy, quirky, crummy(but good games) with love but I'm not sure deadly premonition really deserves it. The quirky bits I've seen are really just a japanese uwe boll directed version of Twin Peaks. The biscuit scene is completely Twin Peaks, but not nearly as entertaining. I'm curious how many people here who love DP for its quirkiness have seen the show. I have a feeling you wouldn't be as into this game if you had already watched Twin Peaks.
That said, I haven't actually played DP, and I look forward to gameflying it to see how it actually is... but it just seems like a bad game trying to be "bad" and ending up bad.
So far, Godhand is still my #1 success story in the whole "bad" game realm.
