Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut Is Happening

With new PS3 content for both newcomers and experienced coffee drinkers.

No Caption Provided

Deadly Premonition designer Swery 65 has been teasing a PlayStation 3 version of his celebrated piece of gaming eccentricity for a while, but it’d been a while since we’d heard anything about it.

That changed today, with Rising Star Games confirming Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut.

This updated version of the game, exclusive to PS3, includes new “scenarios,” reworked combat controls, and downloadable content to “expand the mystery beyond the original game.” That sounds like there will be new material for both players who want to play Deadly Premonition a second time (or coming to it for the first time), and content for anyone who wants the closest thing to a sequel.

That we’re even seeing Swerey 65 being given a chance to dip back into Deadly Premonition is impressive enough. I’m curious what the new material will be like. Deadly Premonition was created in a vacuum, and this new content comes after everyone heaped critical but enthusiastic praise on the game. Will that reaction influence what Swery 65 ends up creating?

Guess we’ll find out early next year. The Director’s Cut launches in the first quarter of 2013.

Think this will be what gets me into it. Was about to watch the ER but guess I am waiting now.

what the hell? So you held off on watching it all this time?? why?

I have no idea why. Pretty crazy that I held off.

It is pretty crazy but i guess you made out like a bandit, you get to experience this game 3 times, play it, watch BrRy videos and then the ViJe videos. If you see yourself going insane, remove anything sharp.

Haha, yeah, gonna be fun!

This has been confirmed for some time now. Nice to see something a little more concrete though. Shitty boxart is shitty though! The 360 and JP releases both had way better covers than this. I'll still buy this and play the utter fuck out of it however. I started playing it on 360 with a friend and the few hours I played were nothing short of undeniable genius.

The game deserves it, especially if they're able to improve the combat. Good for Swerey.

I actually thought the Brad and Ryan segments were significantly funnier than the Jeff/Vinny segments, gotta say.

This is the game that is selling me on a PS3. They should release a Deadly Premonition-themed console bundle to save me some trouble.

It starts off kinda bad, but after they start getting into it its pretty good. Jeff and Vinny never encounter the giant demon dogs.

Also I feel like I'm gonna buy this game, especially if the reworked combat is good.

Well, this is good news and I think PS3 is a good fit for this release. Much of the criticism form gaming outlets that scored it poorly mentioned the controls, so it seems inline with logic that they would discuss control improvements from the outset. If this remake does well in sales I hope SOMEONE considers backing the company for a true sequel.

I don't think you are going to get your ER, but I am in the exact same boat as you...maybe I should wait for it to come out on PC......pulling that stunt with Dark Souls, eventually.

Nothing stops the endurance run. Even when everyone finishes playing the game, the game keeps going.

More Deadly Premonition is always good news, I wonder if they'll keep the same price tag of $20, or bump the price to $30 for the added content.

I doubt it. I mean this'll still be a re-release of a 2010 release after all, even with the addition of ''HD graphics''.

aren't the people who are going to buy this game already obsessed with it? Therefore the question is how much would you, crazy fan of deadly premonition, pay for such a product. 60 dollars? 100 dollars?

I suppose that's a good point. The game has a fanbase now and I guess they may use that to their advantage, just to see how much we'd be willing to pay. But y'know what, I would totally pay... $30, erm so like £20-£25 I think, for this enhanced version of Deadly Premonition. Any higher and they'd be pushing it...

They should QL the Director's Cut with all four endurance runners together to see how it fares and reminisce. There never was a end of ER podcast or anything with both groups talking about how it was. Not that there needed to be, but it woulda been cool.

Will absolutely buy. I'm hoping this will allow me to experience the great-bad parts of the game with less of the bad-bad parts getting in the way.

Also, Kickstart a PC port.

Why is it a exclusive to the PS3? I'd do anything for a PC release and an inclusion of the some of the assets or builds when the game was even more like Twin Peaks.

It is. Ryan was in top shape during the ER.

God yes!! I watched both of them, and they were both amazing. In fact, this past Friday I decided to go back and watch them both again...they are even better the second time through.

BTW, while watching the Brad/Ryan ER, there WILL be times when you'll want to reach through your computer screen grab the controller from Brad and beat hom to death with it. But, that's just part of the charm of a good Endurance Run! ;)

The correct answer is Dave and Drew ER.

Nah! Not for DP.

Besides, Drew probably saw it all when they were recording the videos, and I'm pretty sure Patrick played it on his own because he has good taste in video games.

It should be Dave and Patrick, so then it'll be the DP DP Endurance run. That of course could work with Drew, too. I just have a particular fondness for dear ole David.

Just hope they fix the awful map system in that game. I was very forgiving towards a lot of the games quirks, but that map made getting around a hassle even I found tough to stomach. Still completed like 80% of the side quests, though...

Anywhoo I'm excited all the same, and I'll gladly buy myself a third copy of this motherfucker.

But if they fix the map, then people will realize that the town's roadways are in the shape of Willie and they'll catch on to the greater conspiracy about him!

There was totally a view of the whole map in the pause screen. I picked up on the dog shape real early on.

@Yummylee: Yeah, Dave has a higher chance of saying goofy/silly things. Drew's usually all business.

Oh, wow... on two accounts. First, you're right, that really does look a lot like Willie! And second, being a proud Englishman, I was looking for something completely different at first and figured SWERY to be big, ole perv.
