Deadly Premonition 2 announced EXCLUSIVELY for Nintendo Switch (Swery is Director/Writer, 2020). First game out now as DP: Origins [See staff post]
- Thread starter Cow
- Start date
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!

It did have really loud music at times, the mixing wasn't good by any means. But I remember it feeling more consistent? Idk, I'm gonna have to do some comparisons tomorrow.
You should be all set, from what I've seen. Sounds like the Switch port is pretty solid aside from some minor audio issues.
Enjoy the ride!
so, is the audio in this port a deal-breaker? Is is just the voices or does the entire game have horrible audio?
So it sounds like Origins doesn't have the Director's Cut content? Does it have the gameplay improvements at least where the enemies don't take 1000 shots to kill?
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.
ok, so it sounds like the audio issues with the Switch port won't be bad enough to pass on this, since it's apparently a "bad" (in quotes because it's apparently still very much worth playing) game already.
pretty bold to put a 2/10 IGN review in your press release. they know what they're doing.
Just bought it and played through the first level. I didn't notice the compressed audio but I did notice that the water in the "first meetup" cutscene looked like ass. Also, the intro cutscene had some tearing abd hitches, probably pre-recorded though. The framerate during gameplay seems great.
Despite how bad it plays its one of my favorite games of all time.
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.
Full Swery statement
Ok after that intro that must have been pre-recorded, the graphics are a LOT cleaner and framerate is good. Only weirdness is the voice acting is very very soft and hard to hear.
Also, I was ready for weird, but I'm still surprised how random and insane it is after just an hour. Can't wait to play more.

People probably talked about this already, but looking at the JP direct, that's Zach in the 2019 segments.
It just straight up has the subs and says Zach. So Aliya or however her name will be spelled because wow that english spelling, interviewing you in 2019 and the rest being mostly 2005? It's kind of weird considering the age gap and how Zach looks so fucking old. Zach's scar is also super more pronounced now comparing the versions. It travels along the ridge of his nose which wasn't really a thing in DP1 as far as I've looked to remind myself.

Also looks to be retaining the charm of stupid dumb bullshit like shooting targets in the bayou, riding a skateboard, some guy with an eyepatch, badgreat sneaking, and a lot of other shit. I'm so fucking on board.

Annnnd that's a sale.
So is the Switch version of the first game the best way to play it?
Seems like the port has terrible low mixing on the voices as well as dropped sounds.
That would make it the worst port next to the PC version as hearing the voices is integral to the experience.
The original and BC 360 is still the best. Bad performance, but everything else works.
Followed by the PS3 version. Worse performance, but the sound mix works.
The Switch version certainly runs much better than the PS3 version. There are also indeed some unique audio issues.
And in the cutscene in which you first meet Emily and George, everyone's eyes were freaking me out for some reason. I don't remember the previous versions looking that creepy

That's not a bad theory, but I'd have to think they'd cross-gen the PS and xbox versions. Odd because Nintendo usually points out exclusive games (even if it's timed) on yhe direct.
Confirmed exclusive
