When entering a large area, like the main town of Le Carré, it typically took about ten seconds to load, and smaller areas took about three or four seconds.
Loading times are significantly better, but maybe still a little bit longer than people would expect. Let’s start with the biggest problem the original release had: low framerates and high loading times. And, frankly, while things don’t get worse, the new PC port is more reminiscent of the original’s PC port than you might think. The release of a PC port should be the perfect opportunity to fix things and provide the definitive Deadly Premonition 2 experience but, given how bad the PC port of the original was, things could get even worse. Though things have been improved with a few patches, they're still far from ideal. This video from Digital Foundry shows off how bad things were at release, with an average framerate of 15fps (going as low as 2fps) during open-world segments and load times over a minute long. Releasing as a Switch exclusive, it fell victim hard to the limitations of that hardware, and was plagued by a nauseating framerate and horrifically long load times. Deadly Premonition Origins, its port to the Nintendo Switch, should have been an opportunity to clean things up, but again, it struggled with its performance and the Switch made the already-dated visuals even worse.ĭeadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise got it the worst, however. The PC version was even worse, lacking any of the options expected in a PC port, suffering from poor performance and being very finicky with its setup, eventually requiring a mod from Durante to save it. The Director’s Cut version of that game, however, had a troubled PlayStation 3 version, with further control issues and a poor framerate. Initially released on the Xbox 360, the original game is mostly fine, if not for some weird problems with controls.
The Deadly Premonition series has a long history of technical issues.
If you'd like to know more about the game, you can read our review from its launch back in 2020.įor the record, the game was played on a PC with an AMD Ry6-Core Processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and this nvme SSD. This first impressions piece is mainly focused on the performance of the PC port of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise, rather than critiquing the game itself.
