Deadly Premonition Remains the Weirdest Video Game of the Modern Era

Vice: Released in February 2010, during the peak of the Xbox 360 era, Deadly Premonition offered the world a unique window into gaming's delightfully ramshackle and sometimes ugly past at a time when big-box video games could be incredibly conservative.
The obtuse masterpiece was the product of six years of tireless work by a young Japanese auteur named Hidetaka Suehiro, who is commonly referred to as SWERY or Swery65. Production began at Access Games back in 2004 under the title Rainy Woodsan ambitious "cynical urban drama" with a strong focus on forensic science and murder mystery. The game was officially unveiled at Tokyo Game Show in 2007 earning immediate comparisons to David Lynch's classic TV drama Twin Peaks. But production was ceased shortly thereafter due to "technological difficulties." A more educated guess would be that Access risked facing a lawsuit for creative, or copyright theft, despite the end product remaining heavily in debt to Lynch's vision.

| Deadly Premonition: cult classic or overrated mess? Find out for yourself for £1.99

Dealspwn: "Deadly Premonition tells one of the best videogame stories of all time, an uncanny and kooky supernatural detective thriller that's like Twin Peaks meets Silent Hill. However, it's also a mechanical mess and a graphical disaster.
Personally I adore Deadly Premonition, and firmly argue that it's one of the best games of the decade -- not in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way, but legitimately great -- but my senior editor used to Skype me every time I wrote an article about it to moan about the visuals and controls. Philistine. No three people can agree on whether it's brilliant or awful, but for £1.99, there's no better time to find out for yourself."

| The greatest game objective of all time
Added: 10.03.2015 16:00 | 24 views | 0 comments
D4 - Deadly Premonition director Swery's surreal cold case mystery - is remarkable for many things. There's mannequin love, there's time travel, there's a lady who is also a cat, there's a lot of magazines to collect for almost no reason.
But no one mentions its true achievement. This single game objective, the greatest series of words ever turned into a prerequisite for progress though a game. And, like all great games, it must be stolen from. I've taken it upon myself to put this, the greatest game objective of all time, into a few other Xbox stalwarts, so that you can understand the improvement.
After the horror of No Russian and with the looming fear of a nuclear detonation, this would prove a welcome interstitial mission. Ol' Soap gets to stop for a sit down and a coo over some waterproof birds. For added fun, the line of ducklings would never stop coming until you passed an arbitrary, invisible point on the map.
Be fair, this wouldn't be the weirdest bit of dialogue in the game. The Colonel could even repeat it in that creepy bit where he keeps turning into a skull, but spell "duck" as "death" or something.
Ubisoft's sinister hive mind of devs long ago realised that if you've got one good objective, it should be repeated around 50 times. Bench relaxation is already a major part of the series - duck reconaissance should not be an exception to that rule.
This bit was really dour. We'd have to lose the bench (acceptable), but if a duck family stood on top of the coffin and quacked out The Last Post, we think it'd really lighten the mood.
A personal favourite, here. Replace famed warrior Lu Bu with a six-foot duck holding a scythe, and stick an inviting-looking Chinese pew next to it. That idea alone is better than the last four Warriors spin-offs combined.
Enough said.
