Quantcast



If this latest trailer for Ignition Entertainment's Deadly Premonition is anything to go by, the upcoming horror-action game exclusive to Xbox 360 is destined to be a cult classic.

The other possible outcome could be something along the lines of a Syfy Original, except with much better visuals. This game's low-fi graphics are more impressive than any of the CGI found in those so-bad-they're-good movies; the same could be said of most Atari 7800 games.

To me, that honestly doesn't sound like a bad alternative. Either way, the total overdose on goofiness is present, which is all I really want to get out of Deadly Premonition. Thanks, quirky taste in games/films; you make life exceptionally fun.

Would YOU pay twenties dollars for a zombie to shove her hand down your throat?

I will check this out.

Yeah, for twenty dollars I'd say it's worth looking into.

Oh yes... I'll be getting this on the PS3 for sure.

Did they undetermine that this was also coming to PS3? I remember seeing something about it being multiplatform.

And for 20 bucks it could be the worst game in the world, I'd still buy it. Especially since it seems like the kind of game that gets a single production run, then suddenly people find out about it, want it, and can't get it.

So they intentionally made it look like a PS2 game?

@Greylocke

Which is why it's priced less than a PS2 game.

Strange gossip, bleeding trees and manual esophagus probing. Interesting.

I still hope a European publisher picks it up (not 505 Games though), but I'll probably have to import this. Either way, I really need this game for reasons I can no longer remember!

What is this I don't even

My wife made me play Rule of Rose, another absurd survival-horror game that I still don't quite understand. I'm sure she'll make me get this once she sees this trailer.

This has got Japanese B-Movie written all over it. Which may or may not be a bad thing.

And it whic way is this different from Silent Hill ?
The sign is even similar, the monsters to, and for god's sake, there is even a car accident into a fogy town.

If you go to the website and look at the screen shots, it does not look to bad. This is not going to be a graphical wonder but it may be a decent game though. So lets wait until we have more info on this before making conclusions.

Man, this game sucked. It must have done some real miraculous shit in the second half, because the first half was utter shit.

Just shit. Shitty shit shit. I can't believe you guys tricked me into playing this.

Such shit.
