''He intentionally inserted a negative side to every character. Forrest Kaysan was a nice guy and good with kids, but he had trouble keeping his pants on.'' 
 

 "Swery explained that he originally didn't have any combat in Deadly Premonition; York was just intended to run away from shadows. However, the publisher told him it wouldn't sell in the US if he did that, so they added the gunplay in."
 
So without stupid publishers the gameplay of Deadly Premonition could actually have been somewhat interesting.

God damn it.
 
Is there any video of this thing?
 
They have a Cliffy B one I know.

i dont think they posted a video for that one, i looked after watching the swery video here and couldnt find it.

" @Doctorchimp: People loved Shattered Memories for its atmosphere, and for the way it collected data about you and altered the story and the environments based on that. "

Running away isn't interesting. See Shattered Memories.  "

Oh and he also puppeteered a great deal of twisted homicides, as well as enacting his own, but being a man-whore is pretty despicable too. I know, it was spoilers sake, but I still found it funny :P

Don't see how that's a "negative side". "

" @Cirdain: Rising star picked it up for EU release long after it came out the US so they are safe. "

So now I can pretend DP's original gameplay more resembled Shattered Memories, a game where people complained about the gameplay.

That was a good read. I think having York run from shadows (like shattered Memories) would've made it better.

I just wish Swery can realize his dream in Deadly Premonition 2, by adding bicycles and cologne.
 
Gaming will never be the same.

Warts and all I like DP the way it is. Maybe if some of the mechanical things were improved it would have damaged the overall experience. I am very interested to see what Swery can do with a better budget to work with though. Hopefully, a publisher with some resources has seen the buzz DP stirred up and bankroll him.
