Alan Wake for the atmosphere and story alone imo. The combat is repetitive and one-note but fun enough to experience the story. Deadly premonition is a buggy mess

Both great games but Deadly Premonition get it. One of the best stories/cast in gaming tbh.

Theyre fairly similar, yes? Kinda Twin Peaks Stephen King vibes?

Alan Wake leans more toward Stephen King and is linear while DP is more like open world b horror movie schlock. If you have a PS3 I heard the Directors Cut improved a lot of the technical issues.

Nah, Playstation is for people who think fingerless gloves are cool

Alan Wake is probably the better "game".

In terms of presentation, graphics, controls and production values.

However, there is an incredible charm, atmosphere and passion which is present throughout Deadly Premonition leading to one of the most unique, weird and wonderful games I have ever played. It has a captivating cast of characters, quirky design philosophy and is overly ambitious to a fault but there truly is nothing else like it.

Alan Wake might also have some of those elements present but it is nowhere near as captivating. It's AAA aspirations make it too "clean" next to something as B tier as Deadly Premonition.

really depends on what you like out of these games. If you want a polished AAA shooter with AAA narrative and AAA voice acting, that's Alan Wake. Deadly Premonition is like a forgotten PS2 game that somehow got an HD remake. The voice acting is sometimes Castle Shikigami 2-tier, and the mechanics/design feels a lot less refined compared to Alan Wake.

But both games are kinda outdated by today's standards. Alan Wake's attempts at being AAA feel more like fumbles now, whereas Deadly Premonition is still as charming and schlocky as it always was. Alan Wake feels like a committee of writers tried really hard to make the game memorable and serious, whereas Deadly Premonition feels like the writers were true fans of the inspirational material and really put their hearts into it.

I *love* Twin Peaks and because of that really Enjoyed Deadly Premonition - both in spite of and because of its jankiness. (I've yet to play Alan Wake, despite having it in my backlog forever.)

I *would* recommend a PS1 game in the style of Twin Peaks, but I can't. I played (part of) the English Patched version of Mizzurna Falls. And it does so much right in terms of atmosphere, characters and that small-town, insular and creepy-undercurrents vibe. But it's a technical mess. I kept getting issues where the world wouldn't load along with a host of other problems. I tried different bios, changed my emulation configs, etc, but it just didn't matter. I understand that it's incredibly buggy on native hardware as well. It's a shame because I was *really* loving it, but just wasn't allowed to keep playing because of technical issues.

Deadly Premonition is the best worst mess of a game ever fucking created. I played it on the PS3 and it's an unmatched experience.

 

[regawdless]

Didn't play them, but saw a lot of gameplay videos, let's plays etc.

Based on that, lol man Deadly Premonition will be the more entertaining one for sure. One way or another.

Of these 2, I recommend Deadly Premonition more. I beat both. Deadly Premonition has this...kooky vibe to it that's really zany. You get a sense as the player that Agent York is aware that the game he's in is a mess, and goes along with it. It feels intentional half the time. To me it was more memorable because of that than the technically better but less memorable Alan Wake...there was only like, 1 thing I remembered about that game post playing it. Both are good in different ways basically, so you can't go wrong with either. But I'd recommend Deadly Premonition for a first go of these 2.

Alan wake is better production value. Both are fun though. Hard to decide.

 

[Cravis]

Alan Wake is linear, desperately wants to be a movie more than a game.

Deadly Premonition knows it's a game and just wants to have fun. It's so crazy you either get it or you don't.
