It definitely wasn't consistently like that, but I definitely recall encountering lots of situations with just bonkers mixing that you had to rely on the subtitles to understand anything.
It's been like 7 years since I've played through though, so I could be mistaken on who exactly it sounded.
I am in shock; this is such incredible news and appeared out of nowhere. Will absolutely be buying the original on Switch (unless it's literally broken, not just janky af) because I can't remember much about it other than some key parts and a whole bunch of crazy.
If I had to complain about something, it would be that the second game seems to be a prequel so Morgan's, uh, "character development" at the end of the first game won't be explored further.
Maybe we'll see his encounter with the razor-nail lady though!
Never, ever expected a sequel to this one.
Switch exclusive? Or no word yet?

So I've never played DP1. What's all the hype for? How was the first game?
Deadly Premonition is a terrible game. It's also an incredibly charming and entertaining experience that's worth experiencing in spite of its myriad flaws.
To date Deadly Premonition has split reviewers down the middle—Destructoid awarded it 10/10, saying: "Judged as a piece of entertainment, as a game that consistently surprises and amazes and leaves jaws hanging, I have no choice but to say that Deadly Premonition goes above and beyond."
At the other end of the scale, IGN named it "terrible," awarding it just 2/10. It said: "Awful in nearly every way… Terrible controls. Terrible pacing. Terrible sound effects. Terrible visuals."
Despite how bad it plays its one of my favorite games of all time.So I've never played DP1. What's all the hype for? How was the first game?
Imagine a weird Shenmue like game with dozens of characters with daily schedules and sidequests and fucking around doing nothing, except it's an open world game set in a Pacific Northwest town in a practically copyright infringing homage to Twin Peaks. There's extremely janky third person shooting because they thought Americans wanted that.So I've never played DP1. What's all the hype for? How was the first game?
Annnnd that's a sale.Imagine a weird Shenmue like game with dozens of characters with daily schedules and sidequests and fucking around doing nothing, except it's an open world game set in a Pacific Northwest town in a practically copyright infringing homage to Twin Peaks. There's extremely janky third person shooting because they thought Americans wanted that.
It's also extremely charming, especially the protagonist, an FBI agent who can only be described as either eccentric or a lunatic, constantly speaking to an imaginary friend in front of others about super esoteric topics or 80s movies.
Annnnd that's a sale.
So is the Switch version of the first game the best way to play it?
Could be that they're aiming for the PS5/Xbox2 launch, which they would not be able to confirm before the platforms are announced.
