Deadly Premonition 2 quietly received another update last week. Version 1.0.4 is live for all players.
Unfortunately, there’s been no word from the publisher or developer about the update. The team previously said it would continue improving the game’s performance, and the patch may very well be related to that.

Deadly Premonition 2 received its first major patch last month. That update dealt with transgender misrepresentation issues, improved the frame rate, fixed bugs/glitches, and changed the icon.
Another patch for Deadly Premonition 2 went live today, and the game is now at version 1.0.3. Aside from adding an inverted camera option, we’re hearing that there’s another big performance improvement. There’s also one player report of a mini game progression issue having been fixed.
Here’s a look at the frame rate while outside:

The first update for Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is now available. Publisher Rising Star Games hasn’t shared patch notes, but we do have news from director Hidetaka Suehiro as well as player reports.
According to Swery, the team addressed transgender misrepresentation issues. Deadnaming and misgendering lines from York were removed or edited. With dialogue that was edited, those lines are not currently voiced. It’s unclear if that’ll change in the future.
[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #89 – Paper Mario: The Calgon King, take me away!
Posted on 4 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, it’s Super Mario’s uneventful 35th birthday. But Paper Mario is out, and Oni Dino has first impressions. Galen loves his shlooters, so there’s a brief talk about that and the inability to “preserve” the experience. In the news, we’ve got lots of small topics. The big one worth celebrating is Swery’s (Deadly Premonition 2) apology and excellent response to dead-naming a transgender character in his game. Oni Dino applauds his caring response. Then, there’s not one, but two video games being adapted into television series, Atelier Ryza 2 got outed by the Australian ratings board, and a brief discussion on why the lack of local co-op in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered is not a deal-breaker. Hop on the caravan, and check out links and timestamps below.

[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #88 – Pikaboobs, Bakugan backlash, Deadly Premonition discourse
Posted on 4 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, Oni Dino finally gets his hands on a copy of Ring Fit and realizes he’s super out of shape. Galen eschews social distancing and parties with Jackbox. The gang covers news from rumors to controversies. Oni Dino vividly remembers the cheat code for Lara’s Bum in Tomb Raider II. (Psst… Lara Croft for Smash) Deadly Premonition 2 challenges what a video game is and neither critics nor consumers are in agreement about anything. Galen brings up comparisons of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. And the big discussion is on the Nintendo Treehouse live stream, Bakugan, and how the hype machine bit itself in the butt.
Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.
