There are shops and restaurants around Greenvale where items and weaponry can be purchased. York himself must eat and sleep (or at least drink coffee), as well as shave regularly and wash his clothes when they get dirty. Greenvale itself is a large, open town that can be freely explored on foot or in a vehicle, with a slightly-accelerated day/night cycle dictating when shops are open, when people are available to talk to, and when missions to drive the story forward are available. The player controls Agent York as he investigates the mysterious circumstances in Greenvale. Strange red seeds, a mysterious man in a red raincoat, and the secrets held by those in the town.ĭeadly Premonition is a survival horror mystery game with open-world elements. York comes to Greenvale to assist local law enforcement in solving the murder, whether they like it or not, but things aren't nearly as simple as they might seem at first. The sudden and brutal murder of a young girl draws the attention of FBI agent Francis York Morgan, a man with an unclear past, a split personality named Zach, and a personal interest in cases like this. In Eurogamer's own review we revealed that "from a technical perspective, Deadly Premonition 2 is a disgrace", adding "its frame rate could charitably be described as inconsistent, but out in the open world, it's a migraine-inducing single-digit slideshow compounded by stutters and seconds-long hitches".Greenvale is a small, peaceful town somewhere in the northern United States. "The old frame rate would actually give me a headache but I just played for an hour doing side quests and it felt much better."ĭeadly Premonition 2 received its first (and very much-needed) post-launch patch on Switch at the end of July, taking an initial pass at improving the game's abysmal frame rate, while also making a range of tweaks designed to remedy its heavily criticised handling of a transgender character.Īs Matt summarised at the time, the long-awaited sequel to developer Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro's cult classic mystery adventure also came under fire at release for elements of its script in which transgender character Lena Dauman is misgendered and deadnamed. But performance outdoors is a lot more playable," said a reply. "It's playable now though! I've been waiting for a patch like this to continue my playthrough, so I'm excited to dive back in."
"Definitely an improvement though performance and load times are still what some people might call inexcusably poor," replied another player. I still get micro stutters outside but the frame rate itself is so much better.
"Holy sh-t the frame rate outdoors is night and day," said a Reddit thread which publicised that patch 1.0.3 is now available (thanks, MyNintendoNews). Deadly Premonition 2's latest patch, 1.0.3, looks to have addressed the more egregious issues plaguing the sequel's framerate, especially when players are taking their characters outdoors.
