I've installed mr. voodooman's immersive mod and the game looks okay I guess??? but its very jerky and feels low fps or unstable fps even though counter shows 60 fps.
Have anyone encountered this problem before?

Come on this is ridiculous. Like I said, other than the absolute most basic elements of the premise and some stylistic similarities, Twin Peaks and Deadly Premonition are extremely different. They have extremely little in common, in fact.

David Lynch, in every movie or show where he has full creative control, always conveys the exact same post-modern theme: that life is pointless, and that beneath the thin veneer of polite society, ultimately everyone is controlled by their deepest, darkest desires and that resisting them is futile.

In Twin Peaks, every single character is a self-serving, conniving bastard in some way. People sleep with each other, exploit, extort each other, want to kill each other, plot against one another, actually do kill each other...

From Deadly Premonition, the vibe, and everything the author tries to tell, is just completely different. York successfully defeats the ultimate embodiment of otherworldly evil by facing his past traumas and demons and overcoming them.

In Twin Peaks the murderer is someone who was just possessed by that otherworldly evil to do bad things. In Deadly Premonition, it's someone who had clear motivations to do what he did, who faced equally tragic past events but reacted by nurturing thoughts of vengeance, and yearning for power and respect at any cost, which ultimately made him fall for a Trojan horse that ultimately brought about his downfall.

For such a goofy videogame I thought it actually had a powerful message and a brilliant protagonist.

I also liked how the game built up a sense of having you gradually become part of a community that you are an outsider in, and developing some genuine rapport with the inhabitants, only for having some of those that practically became friends to you end up stabbing you in the back.

I think the similarities are hard to deny but they don't really matter.

DP is better than TP anyway. I don't expect the sequel to live up to the original masterpiece but I'm still excited. As much as you can get excited about a game at 34.

This being a Switch game, I imagine the PC version (if there is one) will be even more of a mess than the port of the first game. It's going to be glorious.

The settings of DP seems closer to the city of Lumbertown from Blue Velvet than Twin Peaks, but maybe that's just me ;p

Swery claimed to have never seen Twin Peaks when he made the first one.

After playing the game through, I believe him.

It's more like he heard of Twin Peaks and asked someone to explain it to him in ten minutes or so

the game is more Twin Peaks than it is not, differing to the extent it contorts (and to an extent, misinterprets and plays loose with) the source material to lead up to a big nipponese boss battle
