Well they added proper kb+m controls with prompts updated to whatever keys you configure it to so they put in a good effort for their first PC port.

Deadly Premonition PC port locked to 720p, no gfx options (nm, Durante fixed it)

You think so? An open environment with thousands of different hardware configurations vs a closed box?
There is a reason the West started stomping the shit out of Eastern devs around the time the Xbox came out. It was because all of those Western developers who cut their teeth making games for PC started moving over to console gaming. The East is only just now starting to catch up. And only the bigger developers at that. Outside of the MGS games and Capcoms brilliant MTFramework engine the east has been almost completely outclassed even by mid tier western devs.
I wouldn't go that far if I were you. Outclassed in which way? Because if we talk gameplay, then big fat no.

Yeah. Its kinda sad.
Even when you see a lot of the Doujin-Games, that still use 640*480 as the standard resolution, you can see they dont really know how to develop well...
This excuse is no longer valid in a post-DSfix world. Durante is awesome but he's not some Alan Turing-like super genius.
Bless you.
Are these developers unaware that they can increase the resolution or are they just incompetent? If your game can be fixed relatively quickly by someone with no access to your source code, you really fucked up.

Yeah, but shit. If a fan can change the resolution for free, how come no one from the port-team, who studied IT/programming (I suppose), can do it?
I mean, its not just Dark Souls. Even the HUD-assets from Naruto are still in 720p, while everyone who knows a bit of photoshop could trace them and change the resolution. Or just make new assets.
I mean, fuck. Even I could do it and I wouldnt get paid for that.

There is no excuse for locking resolution or framerate in a 3D PC game. I'll hold off buying this until it's at least 75% off.

It comes down to them not caring at all / putting out the absolute, utter bare minimum. From Software went from releasing an utterly shit port to making PC the lead platform for Dark Souls 2. Did they suddenly become PC experts?

Maybe another team works on that. I dont know.
Maybe its also that the team who ported it were beginners. I dont know. It still is kinda baffling to see that so many Games that are ported to PC from japanese devs are not that good when it comes to the quality of the port.
I mean Durante can fix the resolution here it seems.
People with PS-skills could have changed the HUD-assets in Naruto easily.
They also made DMC3.
Look, as annoying as these framerate-locked, resolution-locked PC ports are, at least they work. That's better than I can say for a lot of games from all over the globe. And I can't help but shake my head at people who say games like Deadly Premonition or Dark Souls are the worst PC ports of all time when they are perfectly functional on PC, don't have outrageous hardware requirements, faithful to the original game designs, and aren't missing any features from other versions of the game.

tD Edition is the definitive version of the game, even without DSFix, and that doesn't stop people from saying it's the worst PC port of all time, or a bad port of the game.InfiniteNine

It's not acceptable to not have resolution support, full stop. It's bush league. Most of the people buying the game are probably double dipping so they can overcome the game's shitty programming with brute force, so not letting them do that is bad form.

Dang it. Welp it's 60fps and apparently the optimization is ok so I'll stick with my preorder. My screen is 1366x768 so I don't know how ass it will look, hoping for a fix soon.
Aww, that's a shame.
I will buy this game, but will probably wait for the first 50% off sale after this. Hopefully this can be resolved by Durante or a.n.other but in 2013 it shouldn't be down to modders to enable resolution changes in a 3D game.

Deadly Premonition is a lot of things, technically competent has never been one of them.
What a beautiful, wildly optimistic world someone has to be living in to have expected otherwise.
Seeing Durante's post made me realize what it must have felt like to be alive when Jesus was around.

No they didn't, Ubi ported that.
Not too worried. I assume mods will happen.

Having not played it, I'd buy it if it was stuck in 600 x 400 at 22FPS. I need bizarro in mah life...

Are you fucking kidding me?
Was preparing to post how Durante probably wouldn't have interest in fixing this port and then he shows up with a "I got this" post. So based, much amazing.
Holy shit perfect. This quote needs to be part of Durante's tag.
Will make sure I donate some extra money to Durante as he is a vital part of the development team.

Before you all panic is there an easily editable .ini file or something with a resolution in it?

I'd have been surprised if this wasn't the case, honestly.

Nope, unless you get the GamersGate version, you'll have to wait the remaining 4 hours.
Nope.

If you care about resolution, get a PS4.
No proxy shenanigans? Then I guess I'll have to spend the time preparing.
Holy crap your post history is amazing.
Just a side-note, the Steam Forums say the GamersGate version got removed, which is the only version out at the moment. Nothing here.

Finally everyone equal on PC gaming.

Well, it's shame but I understand they might not have enough resource to configure for more resolutions support, I assume they are very very small devs team. Good luck them, I might buy one but I believe I have played it before.

How so? A link? Or do you mean change it to "Next Gen Jesus"?
EDIT: When I see Durante's posts I always imagine Rules of Nature playing on the background while Durante types.
