Deadly Premonition is the definition of “cult hit”. The unbelievably weird game from director Hidetaka Suehiro is a bit like Twin Peaks, with all the weird connotations and Lynchian metaphor that comparison implies.
The game is a 3rd person survival-horror and a action adventure game, and upon its original release in 2010 was panned by critics….and became a successful cult hit. The obviously low budget, the awkwardness of the charaters, the controls, the off-putting music….it was nonsense. That is, sheer brilliant nonsense.
Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cut features a new control system, new HD textures, and a new scenario created by the game’s director. Aiming to achieve the original vision of the game, Director’s Cut will hopefully enhance the game so as to make its willfully surreal world more engaging. The game will also let players download exclusive content for the PC version.
Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cut is available now on Steam for £17.99 until the 1st of November where it will change to £19.99. What do you think? Will you want to try the game now that it has had some issues addressed? Let us know in the comments below.
