Deadly Premonition and other terrible ports

[davie jambo]

I bought Deadly Premonition on release and it was just awful. Frames dropping into the 15s (This was on an ivy i7 and twin 7970s) , 720p locked resolution , controller support not working.

I had read about the problems being fixed so decided to give it another go. You have to download a fix for the resolution but the frame rate is now solid 60 all the way and the controller support has been fixed.

So played it for most of the weekend. Apart from the occasional crash to desktop it's been good and it's a good game. Something a bit different than a shooter using the unreal engine

My question is , are there any other obscure console games ported over to the PC that I may have missed. As despite this games problems it is really quite good

That's weird, the controller didn't work for me. It keeps looping and cycling weapons.

When you run the game , it brings up a launcher - go into the settings in that and change it to controller

Controller will work. It did not work at all when the game first come out but they have fixed it

The big two that come to mind are Saint's Row 2 and Red Faction: Gorilla
