Deadly Premonition directory SWERY 65 has revealed that he has plans for a sequel and prequel, as well as a special edition re-release of the original cult comedy-horror.
The special edition would feature enhanced graphics, answering criticism that the original looked fairly hideous. As for the brand new games, the eccentric developer did not confirm that they were in development right now, but he certainly seems like he's got it all mapped out.
He's also confirmed that Western publishers are very interested in an all-new IP that he's working on, so it would appear that SWERY is becoming quite popular on his side of the industry. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Now excuse me while I dance a merry jig in celebration. More Agent York is important to this industry!

Don't change SWERY, we liked it just the way it was...maybe change the driving mechanics.
But then I stopped after about an hour to answer the call of the Battlefield. I'll get back to it some day, I promise!
Couldn't happen to a better person. Isn't that right, Zach?
That is all
Although I wouldn't mind seeing some high definition FK in my coffee.
Would like to maybe play this >.>
Prequel AND sequel, Yes please!
Good luck to the guy, I say. We need more devs like him. They were abundant in the PS2-era, but sorely lacking in this generation.
i love how all those guys here when basically any game is released exclusively on 360 they talk how it should be multiplatform yet when there are talk about ps3 exclusive that's actually good(which is rare) they shout "get ps3 to play it".
Interested in news of the Vita port he wanted to do. Didn't Microsoft pay for exclusivity for the game?
There's a PS3 version already anyway. I don't know if it's got English language, but anyone so inclined could import the game easily since PS3 is region-free.
!!!
I have seen so many people who once loved this game now change their minds once they realized it isn't really cult material. It is just an abysmal game with abysmal graphics, gameplay, sound design, story, voice acting, pacing, and controls. These things added together do not equal a memorable game. They equal garbage.
Just because something is quirky and isn't afraid to be different does not mean it deserves cult status. Some things are just garbage and should be treated as such.
Seriously, the graphics can use a touch up, but what they need to work on are the mechanics. Aiming (add a sensitivity option), character movement (I thought walking in circles was just a Heavy Rain thing), and driving (HAHAHAHAHA! FUCK ME!) all need to undergo some major surgery. Pretty much everything except the characters, story, and dialog can use a long hot bath in a tub of awesome.
Counterpoint: I had fun playing it.
You mad?
Fuck yeah! Piss on that sign! Piss on it! Go!
@Sofik
......
Shut up
The graphics being touched up is nice, but even more important would be the driving, the map, slightly better menus. Still. Good DAY.
Still, I'd knock it down to a 9 if only for those upside-down screaming witch things that shoot black smoke out their vagina.
Something doesn't achieve cult status because of popularity or overall quality. It earns its place because enough people appreciate it for what it is despite its lack of mass appeal. The fact that you think it sucks and so many others think it's pure fucking gold can only serve as proof that Deadly Premonition is a cult game.
Now tell all those people who stopped liking it just because it wasn't cult material to stop being such fucking hipsters.
