Terrific news!
Say what you will about gameplay, but creativity, interesting storym clever dialouge and wonderful characters should be rewarded.

About bloody time. There really is no excuse for such single-region releases, especially in this day and age. That goes for Japan-exclusive games too, of course.
Yeah, the game had interesting enough dialogue and plot to justify a playthrough, but there were serious problems that really made the whole experience frustrating, along with guaranteeing I will never replay this game.
SO Happy right now, but I'm wondering, I live in Australia, would this be a PAL version of the game, one I could use?
well that's the biggest surprise of the day.
can't say I've ever wanted to start a boycott group or something cause this game's not released in Europe before, but now that it probably is I'll probably pick it up. it's not even full price, for God's sake!

Nice to see this game making its way to Europe. I've played through it three times, myself, and I can't get enough of the game. Excellent value for the money.
Welp, I now have more of a reason to get one of those 2limline 360s, Zack.
@nort het: Most Japan-only games wouldn't sell at all well in America or Europe. Hell, the subject matter of more than a few (not to mention actual content) would only attract all kinds of ridiculous, idiotic reports from the media screaming about how these games turn children into rapists and murderers.

I find it funny that people seem to be so much more receptive now but when it came out..most people would have laughed at you if you liked it or thought it was good.
I haven't played it yet myself so judgment awaits!

Yeah, I just played this game along with no more heroes 2, super Mario galaxy 2, and space channel 5, and it made me realize that games are better when they don't try to take themselves seriously and be cool. However, it's sad that people are willing to rave about a crappy game just because it has an interesting plot.
Regardless, it seems you people are intent on getting excited about this game anyway, so here are some tips to make this game as enjoyable as possible.
-play on easy difficulty. The faster you get through the combat sections the better. The developers thought harder = more hp for enemies, to the point where in the end, it takes 100 machine gun bullets in the face to kill an enemy on medium.
-premptively search on gamefaqs to see which sidequests to do. Some sidequests will make the game alot simpler like the radio which will let you fast travel (do want). While some sidequests have you running around for an hour for a trading card of a sandwhich (DO NOT WANT).
-Use the tree of Anna. Some sidequests will only activate on Tuesdays, from 8:00-9:00, only on rainy days, etc. The tree of Anna gives you a place to sleep, along with infinite pickles to eat do you don't starve.
End epic post.

I tried to play this game since the hype from destructoid... First hour in I was like wtf am I playing? Why is the gameplay so bad? Jeez I couldn't stanf the gameplay enough to even enjoy the story.
@Gilgamesh1317
Hahaha! I thought I must have missed that part of E3, where Microsoft unveiled the name of the new 360 as "2limline", and I was like, "How the hell do I pronounce that?"
@HEL105
I agree 100% about the combat. Holding down RT to aim, LT to lock and pressing A to shoot is just ridiculous. In fact, the controls in general are mind-bogglingly bad, but I figure that just comes with the genre.
Other than that, though, the game is awesome! I'm playing through right now (never finished it when I first bought it because I got sucked into Mass Effect) and I've already had a ton of genuine "oh shit!" scary moments, and York is probably the most interesting protagonist I've ever played.

Did I just read you could push LT to lock-on? I should check these kinds of things.
@Sir LegendHead: I wouldn't be surprised if I saw something like that in the game.

Finally I'll get to see what the fuss is about. Not sure if I'm willing to part with £25 for it though... Hell, I bought a new copy of Uncharted 2 yesterday for £13!
So thats why I couldn't find a copy, well I'll bet Deadly Premonition won't sell much in Australia either..
