That takes me back, first exposure to it was a god awful trailer, did not sell me on it lol. What did though was Giantbombs play through of it. Went out and bought it a few days later.

speaking of which, have the sound & other problems been fixed? was the september patch the last one?...
Great game but an absolutely dreadful PC port!. I had no idea there was a workaround that allowed you to aim up and down until I reached the very end of the game.
Just saw that it has gone up in price on Steam. Was very cheap a few years ago, under 5$ unless my memory deceives me.

the last patch (1.0.2) came out in october. the first patch fixed the audio cutting issue, the second one fixed some driving related issues. the game is still buggy tho, and does occasionally crash.
A shame that it has never received a decent port, the performance in the 360 and PS3 originals was poor and yet somehow Director's Cut was worse, meanwhile from what I've heard the Switch version has tons of problems too. I've had to keep my imported PS3 Red Seeds Profile copy around.
Happy 10th birthday to one of my legit favorite gaming experiences of all time. A lot of the legacy of this game seems to be people thinking the fans of this game like it ironically. I cannot stress enough that there is no irony in my love for it. It's a one of a kind experience, that has equal parts heart, whimsy and horror. It is far from a well put together game, but that adds to the charm. From the hammy dialogue, to the overbearing music, to the janky controls, almost everything would usually indicate a bad game.
To quote Jim Sterling's classic perfect 10 Destructoid review:
I'll never forget the experience of jokingly playing this game with my roommates in college when the legit horror of GIANT DEMON DOGS CHASING MY CAR happened.
What are your memories of this game, Era?
EDIT: Whoops, called it Deadly PREMOTION in the thread title. Mods halp.

Dang, tried to look for one but didn't see it. Still! Glad to see the love. Feel free to lock, mods!
My friends were constantly talking about Supergreatfriend's DP lets play. Eventually caved and picked up the game, couldn't be happier too.

how is the Switch version these days? still crashing? how is the frame rate?
I'm thinking of playing this once I'm done with Yakuza 0.
edit:
oh. well that sucks. a console game that still crashes after its final patch is a tough pill to swallow.

I still remember Shane Bettenhausen pimping DP on the 1up podcast.
I think he was involved with the localization of it, but he was SUPER hyped about it either way, ending with, "And it's ONLY $20!"
I remember thinking that it sounded kinda jank but I wound up picking it up shortly after for 360.
Well the rest is history. Game went on to tie with RDR for my GOTY 2010.
What a glorious disaster. Damn, I love that game.

One of my only Platinums as well, finally cleared it from my backlog after word of the sequel.
Speaking of Let's Plays, Northernlion did a great LP of Deadly Premonition late last year. This one clip is the perfect moment between NL and York:
He doesn't have the series on his youtube channel because of some of the gore/nudity, but there is a series of edits of the best parts put together with his blessing on another channel:

Wasn't it said another was in the works? I don't know why Toybox wouldn't patch it up more. They already did the PS3 and Steam versions IIRC so they should know the game fairly inside and out by now. Maybe as they finish up DP2, they'll go back to fix up Origins some more.

i wouldn't hold my breath, the PC version is basically broken and they've been selling it like that for years.
i hope they do it tho, at least the crashing should be fixed, not really acceptable for a console game.
