From releasing into obscurity to retail-specific pre-order bonuses!
Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cutcomes out next month (4/30) on PS3 and it will offer retailer-specific pre-order bonuses, which is a little bit of an oddity for a game getting its unexpected second life. Almost takes the sting out of retailer-specific pre-order bonuses being a stupid and annoying trend.
GameStop will offer US pre-orderers the Espresso Suit, which triples your tolerance toward hunger and tiredness, two statsDeadly Premonitionrequires you to manage, lest York succumb to fatigue. Amazon (US or UK) is offering a Field Ops Suit meant to up health and attack power. Shopto (UK) will have the Transporter Pack, which is three souped up cars and the amazing-sounding Chibi Chibi Bang Bang Car skin.
Anyone put off by the roughness of the original game should know a few things: visuals have been updated and most textures redone; the game controls a bit less clunky, a bit more like aResident Evil-style third person shooter; and there’s a giant, expandable map that overlays the screen while you’re walking around or driving, allowing for easier navigation. It’s good stuff.
