Deadly Premonition looks frightening, but for all the wrong reasons. Developed by Access Games and published by Ignition Entertainment alongside Marvelous Entertainment, it's a third-person survival horror game due out early next year.

As an FBI agent trying to solve a murder case in a remote town, specifically the kind of remote town that seems to always breed insane locals, "terrifying" creatures, and cults, it is your mission to run around shooting things until the mystery unravels itself.

Yeah ... I know. That tree did just squirt blood everywhere, and that freaky girl did just stick her hand in the guy's mouth.

As a sucker for all things horror, especially when laughs are involved, I think this game might actually be perfect for me.

i generally do not speak about graphics, but this looks like a PS2 game instead.

Wait so, is this game like the opposite of Dementium II? Because they but the hand IN the mouth, not OUT of it.

HEL105

That reminded me of Haunting Ground on PS2, for some reason. No idea why.

Dexter345

Okay, seriously, the thought of somebody sticking her hand in my mouth creeps me out.

dj-anon

I'll remain skeptical until playing a demo.

DrRockso

What is this I don't even

Necro BABS

Wow...It is bad for all the wrong reasons.

Jon B

I may be drunk, but that header image strikes me as having the "reverse rape" tag.

Adam11

This a game that's been in development for 5+ years, hence the graphics. It used to be called Rainy Woods and was also going to be on PS3. They've since retooled it b/c it was SO similar to Twin Peaks that I think they may have been sued..? Not sure. It had midgets, red rooms, a small town murder in the pine trees, lounge singers, etc. You can google the old rainy woods trailer and see the midgets, etc.

Adam11

Oh and yes I am a nerd for horror games and am excited that this wasn't canceled! It may be ugly and weird, but hey, I like ugly and weird! =)

DrRockso

@Adam11

Aha, I KNEW I had seen this a before. I wonder what kind of development hell it was stuck in to come out this late.

Jordan Devore

Wow. I knew this looked oddly familiar! Nice work.

BxB402

I've been reminding people the same stuff as Adam11 on other places.....Only difference is I think this game is(and was) going to suck and Access is a shit developer that can't make a game without stealing generously from known franchises.

Kaggen

Lol looks like a silent hill copy with shitty ass graphics and well... suckage!

I mean, a remote "foggy"? town, a cult! and wierd save? symbol taken from silent hill 3 :D It could pack some scares but it looks very unpromising and very.... very baad ugh.

Springsteen

There's some potential, but I think the survival horror thing's been a little too formulaix at this point. I'd much rather have him investigating a murder case that involves the entire town with no supernatural elements. Something like The Wickerman. The actual movie. Not the 1 and a half hour of Nicolas Cage being an idiot.

Doomsday Forte

Mmm, mysterious girl hand in my mouth. Kinky.

At first I thought this was called Deadly Promotion, leading to a whole different set of mental images. Whoops.

pedrovay2003

Actually, that looks kind of good... No PS3 version, though, so I guess I won't be playing it.

That's the typical PS3 elitist attitude: regardless how crappy cross platform games on PS3, if it's not on PS3, it's crap attitude.

I have PS3 and 360, but I must say I use 360 more than PS3. It's very difficult for me to fully invest my time on PS3. And yes, I also bought three 360s. One RROD after 3 years, and two still working fine. PS3, meanwhile, looks very pretty. I meant to play Uncharted 2, but I keep getting distracted by 360 games and community.

whateverthismeanstoyou

And the game trailer didn't look all the compelling. Just get turned off as soon as you look at the typical Japanese aesthetic of Aryan looking white people who looks like Barbie and Ken. Meh.

whatthi

whoah graphics kinda like PS2'esque huh?

anyways is this Rainy Woods?..anyone remember that game?whatever happened to that game..until now im still waiting for that game..

whatthi

ok my bad wasnt reading the top comments..it is Rainy Woods...wow looks great too bad i cant play it i had enough of my 360 after its 4th RROD!!!!

Adam11

haha. Finally watched the trailer (i was at work before). Hmm not a good trailer for sure but I'm still definitely giving this one a try when it comes out. It might be awful but I'll take something different (and awful) over a lot of the games that come out. I loved Operation Darkness and that had horrible graphics and pretty wonky gameplay so...I'm not too worried. The Rainy Woods trailer was actually better than that trailer. I wonder how much of that game was thrown out and how much was used. Hmmmm... still intrigued. We'll see.

BxB402

Well, Adam11, Considering how much Rainy Woods was ripping off of Twin Peaks and a little itty bit from Alan Wake(game structure wise)....I bet a lot has changed...They did need to rename it and find a new publisher...that's not usually a good sign. They will be lucky if they sell 500,000 copies.

Adam11

@BxB402 Yeah it doesn't have best seller written all over it. I guess I didn't mind how much Rainy Woods was ripping off Twin Peaks because I love Twin Peaks. And I love video games. So I was just imaging it like David Lynch and Microsoft had this little deformed baby. And that little deformed baby still makes me way more excited than a lot of other games that come out. Whew...that went somewhere weird and not all together clear. I am cautiously optimistic.

Nitex

OMG I was thinking the whole time this was a Wii exclusive but its for 360! Nice! HAhahahhahahahahaha

poundo

@whateverthismeanstoyou, did you ever think that @ pedrovay2003 might only have a PS3, and therefore can't play it on another console? We are all glad that you have both a 360 and a PS3, but maybe he/her doesn't. And why is it hard to invest your time in PS3? And what the did you mean by "PS3, meanwhile, looks very pretty"? Also "Aryan looking white people" is a tautology, by modern definitions. I really don't understand your post, please explain.

Aziel13

looks ghey and like I mean they are trying to hard

Happy Chainsaw Man

Surely I'm not the only who laughed when you had to waggle the stick to "get it off". I mean, come on. Comedy gold! Day one buy.

Johnny Justice

Hmm. I was thinking to myself "What's with all the horror games coming out for Wii?" (not that there's anything wrong with it.) but then I saw the buttons on screen.

Reginald

this looks awesome, and by awesome, I mean it looks like some long-lost dreamcast game made by a smaller japanese studio. tecmo or koei or toei or takai. I'll keep my eye on it because at least its not RE5 or SH5.

zombiekiller13

In agreement with others...this looks like an FMV for a PS2 game...

lewness

Wow. Dementium's hand came out, this one came in!

FoxHoundADAM

Wait this ISN'T a Wii game? Wow, it looks terrible graphics wise for a 360 game.

Aside from that the trailer was pretty boring and looked like a bad Silent hill rip off.

Batthink

'Get it out'. Sounds like a good hint. O_o

I mean, it looks like the creepy video bits from RE: Code Veronica got shoehorned into Twin Peaks: the Zombie Years.

fetusmilk

so this is the paranormal activity of video games? which means people will buy this anyway, even though they know its complete garbage just because its "scary" or "horror"

bah lame.
