The frame rate isn’t great, and quite why the Switch has gotten a version based on the original 2010 release and not the 2013 Director’s Cut is beyond me. It’s a game that, visually, has aged badly, and it looks somehow worse on the Switch when docked. Unfortunately, Origins is probably the worst way to play the game if you haven’t done so before.
Inspired by Resident Evil 4 but nowhere near as good, what makes Deadly Premonition a cult favourite is because the sum of its parts add up to something more. Weird as you like.Īs York, you’re tasked with going to a rural town (Greenvale) to investigate this murder, but it quickly devolves into him talking to his split personality, Zach, zombies moaning “don’t want to die!” as you kill them which, to be fair, is as horrifying as it was when it first came out. As un-Nintendo as you like, a pre-title screen sequence lets you know what you’re in for: there’s peculiar voice work, a naked eviscerated woman stuck on a tree, and twins sat in a chair having a conversation you aren’t privy to.
Retitled “Origins”, SWERY’s cult classic remains as weird and awkward as it did in 2010 and, indeed, 2013. The surprise announcement of a sequel for Deadly Premonition is as good a time to put the game out on Switch, I suppose. Switch Re:port covers the Nintendo Switch port/version of a game newly released on the platform.Deadly Premonition originally scored 7/10 on PS3 in 2010, and Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cut scored 8/10 on PS3 in 2013.
