considering i correctly predicted ryan anderson would be trash in the playoffs and you eventually moved on to stan parsons chandler you should probably listen to me
Should I read that, or is it going to spoil stuff?

Nothing like story spoilers, but you might want to avoid if you would prefer to go in completely blind as they do talk a bit about some character interaction and things like tone they really liked about the game.
To be honest this game is super niche even compared to super niche Japanese titles. I think the demographic is a bit more diverse and not exactly easy to nail down.

I would tend to agree. Probably the 'biggest' audiences would be Twin Peaks fans, those who like low-budget games with a lot of heart or soul, or those who like old & odd horror-esque games.

Tried it on 360, hated it, but I'm going to give it another go because apparently it clicked with a lot of people.

Emily with a cat suit alternate costume? Jeez, now I have to double dip.
He's not wrong. I loved Twin Peaks and its weirdness, but this game's final arc makes Twin Peaks look normal.
I really, really disagree with suggesting that people do that during their first play-through, unless they just happen to stumble upon it. Driving is a big part about the game, because you learn a lot about York and Zach during the talking segments. Bad driving controls aside, driving is one of my favorite aspects of the game.
Not in as good of a way. It's generally not very clever. The best parts are York's conversations in the car.
those who still hesitate can still watch some of the first Giant Bomb endurance runs

The trophy list just came out as well, but it contains major spoilers. So don't view them if you are new to the game.

Aw, still will give it a shot. I really love me some Twin Peaks so this will be interesting to play just to see a game emulate that.

Well, it was released on the PS3 in Japan (as Red Seeds Profile), so when the publisher Ignition came into the picture and wanted to release it in North America they probably just concentrated on the console with the biggest audience.

The story is pretty awesome actually. This is one of the few games where the statement "so bad it's good" truly applies. Really had a blast with it, it is much fun.

The strongest (only?) good point about the game is the story really. The horror/combat sections of the game are derivative at best, though I guess they do at least give some tension/danger to the game and relief from the daytime, walking around and talking to people parts of the game.

Played the game last year and once I got the radio the game really hooked me.
Never bothered much with the side missions but the main story itself and the characters were just so good. Any word on how scarce rising star games get? Since im not sure if I should bother with day 1 or if the changes here are such a change on my 360 version.

True. I forgot about the movie trivia/conversations he has when driving, all of which are generally great. Probably best to just use the radio when replaying chapters, or when you get sick of the driving
Yeah, just look like a big list of spoilers, probably best not to look at it until you beat the game
I'm not sure how confident I'd be in saying that given how Twin Peaks ended, but they're definitely in the same area. ALTERNATIVELY: They're equally crazy, but
Deadly Premonition is more fucked up.

Getting this again. Will actually do the side stuff this time.

This is what also put me on to the game. I watched the whole endurance run and ended up purchasing a copy of the game just to support the dev's (my copy is still sealed too btw)

Nice, been looking forward to checking this out (never played the original). From the little I've seen and read about the game, the weird "Lynchian" mystery/horror vibe and atmosphere were more than enough to pique my interest in playing this. Probably irrelevant, but for some weird reason this game keeps reminding me of Shadow of Memories (PS2).
I think most of them are hidden, but I am not sure. That is how they appear on the other trophy web site.

Don't post that there are spoilers in the trailer next time, folks who have played the game already. Goes for everything. Because THAT is what spoils it. To everyone else, it's just a bunch of crazy scenes cut together that we'll forget about as we play. But say "spoiler" and people can start consciously thinking about what we're seeing. Thanks.
Pre ordered from shopto for a nice price of £25, got a cool DLC pack with it too ( transporter dlc)
Other DLC included a suit that stops hunger loss, which I think is stupid as that is a pretty awesome addition in game.
I am pretty excited for this, cant wait. Been a while since I pre ordered a game, feels good!

Just realized this has move support, hopefully that means they've truly tweaked the aiming systems in place. Is there any detailed gameplay of the new version?

All but three trophies are hidden, just like the Japanese version.

People only liked the Twin Peak's similarities & the story's murder mystery, which was fairly well done.

I thought watching Thomas dance was the gameplay
I approve! Can't wait for this and some sweet cherry pie

Not if you follow a side-quest guide. It can all be one in one playthrough too. It's pretty time consuming, though. My Red Seeds Profile platinum took approximately 43 hours.
All the trophies are tied to each side-quest in the game except for the platinum and the trophies for completing each chapter in the story.
Also, now that this game has finally been translated into English for PS3, you don't have to worry about guessing for the medical quiz (made slightly easier with numbers and English letters for blood-types) or the impossible-without-guessing (unless you can read Japanese) Greenvale trivia quest.
Did they change it, then? On the 360 the difficulty stuff didn't stack. I beat it on hard and would have to replay on normal and easy.

Preordered. Have the 360 version but didn't get super far in it. I think only up to the
second murder

Received mine just today. Just starting it up now. Game still looks mostly bad, though some things stand out like massive improvements. Too bad I only have an hour or so to play right now.
EDIT: Hmm... The start of the game is different, with a segment with an
before the part with the twins in the chairs appears.

I don't know what the achievements were for Red Seeds Profile on the 360, but on PS3 all trophies could be achieved regardless of difficulty. I played on easy and still got my platinum in one playthrough. Based on that recently-released trophy list, it appears to be identical to the Red Seeds Profile trophy list.

This game is a goddamned masterpiece. It's like David Lynch meets early Suda 51. I highly recommend it to anyone with an open mind and a tolerance for jank.

Batshit crazy doesn't happen until the last chapter or so. I never expected any of that.
