Limited Run Games’ E3 replacement event, known as LRG3, will be starting soon. The broadcast kicks off at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe.

Fans tuning in can expect a whole bunch of information regarding physical releases of Switch games. It’s unclear if any brand new titles will be shown, but we’ll be reporting on all of the big news regardless.

You can watch #LRG3 as it happens via the Twitch embed below.

Based on those that have had early hands-on time with Deadly Premonition 2, a common complaint is that the game suffers from major frame rate issues. It’s particularly noticeable when exploring outdoors – which is where most of the action takes place.

With other titles that have suffered from a low frame rate, we’ve sometimes seen updates released to improve things. Unfortunately, Deadly Premonition 2 apparently won’t be receiving anything like that. Jim Sterling spoke with the PR behind the game, and was told that there are no plans to improve the frame rate.

The original Deadly Premonition also had its fair share of complaints surrounding performance. Potential players will ultimately need to decide if they can handle a low and fluctuating frame rate. If plans do change and we hear something regarding a patch, we’ll definitely let you know.
