Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut on PS3 Q1 2013
Better combat controls, same bizarre mix of humor and horror
Cult open-world horror game Deadly Premonition will see the light of day once again in the first quarter of 2013. Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut will arrive exclusively for PlayStation 3 with updated graphics, controls, and new content, publisher Rising Star Games announced today.
Deadly Premonition initially launched in 2010, only on Xbox 360 outside of Japan. The game, which has an unusual mix of offbeat humor and horror often compared to David Lynch's Twin Peaks television series, actually earned the 2012 Guinness World Record for "Most Critically Polarizing Survival Horror Game."
"When Deadly Premonition went on sale, I got loads of feedback from the users, opinions, complaints," director Hidetaka Suehiro told Eurogamer. "So I've got a list of about 200 things they want improved. I'm going through that list and choosing the things I think will be good to work on."
The Director's Cut will also feature a new scenario produced by Suehiro, and new downloadable content.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo.
