Deadly Premonition

[The Sarge]

Deadly Premonition, developed by Access Games, is a third-person survival horror action game which puts players in the role of the intuitive FBI Agent Francis York Morgan. In the process of investigating a murder, players will examine a series of interlocking mysteries in a remote rural town and will encounter an array of complex characters pivotal to the unraveling of the storyline’s mystery. Suspenseful action sequences will force players to make strategic moves, gliding by enemies in the shadows or engaging them with long-range weapons or hand-to-hand melee combat. From the unparalleled atmosphere, music and mysterious storyline to driving vehicles and exploring the entire town, Deadly Premonition will offer players a unique and haunting interactive gaming experience unlike any other.

“Deadly Premonition is an intense and unforgettable action game that we are thrilled to add to Ignition’s 2010 lineup,” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “The gifted developers at Access Games have created a game that will undoubtedly heighten players’ senses as they dive deeper into the mysterious town, eerie story line and action-packed interactive elements.”

[hanzo]

[SuperBrother]

As I said before - David Lynch's laywers could have a field day with this.

2002 called. It wants its ideas back.

David Lynch called. He wants "Twin Peaks" back. Which is shamefully the reason i will definetely give this a go.

You never know it might be cheap and cheerful fun. Being released in the US for $20 so may be worth a nosey.

Oh, Shane....

Those screenshots remind me of Fahrenheit, same graphical quality too.

"Don't worry! I'll eat you... err... save you!"

[Judgement]

So thats what happened to Cher

[Preacher]

In their defence, this will be retailing at $20, which puts it firmly in b-game territory.

What's going on in that crucifixion picture?

Oh hey let's show a tortured woman with a gaping wound in the middle of her chest, BUT NOT THE BARE BREASTS!

[suzzopher]

This looks pretty awful, but in a cool kinda way, like Disaster Day of Crisis.

It's Overblood 2! But for the year 2010!

Character Profile - Agent York.

The lip syncing in that clip reminded me of this (jump to 1:00):

[Concept]

That does look like it could be a fun slice of cheese. The voice acting looks about on par with Heavy Rain's.

Character Profile - Agent York.

Holy shit, they even ripped of the clues found under the victims nails!!! And he talks to a person who may or may not be a tape recorder....and then at the end he's having a damn fine cup of coffee. Can't wait for this. Custom Twin Peaks soundtrack FTW!

[RubberJohnny]

What the hell, I swear this was cancelled years ago.

I'd still go to Alan Wake for my Twin Peaks style mystery.

"so bad it's good"

The Destructoid review has convinced me to give this a go, provided it's a budget title here.

[The Sarge]

It's gone down well over on GAF, a lot of people are reporting that it's a joy to play, very funny and generally 'out there, wacky, etc'.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any solid info on a UK/EU release, but it should be releasing on the PS3 very soon, so those who really want to play it will be able to import. (it'll probably be quite expensive compared to the budget US price)

£50 - £60 as a Japanese import for the PS3, (it has English text) unfortunately.

[Sir DangerM]

It looks amazing.

[Chow]

I need this game! There just isn't enough FK in my coffee!

[Judgement]

Wow its looks so bad I might even give it a try too.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Gymnastic zombies! What the fuck is going on with the teleporting and extreme motion blur too?

[Rudderless]

I love the massively-slowed-down "don't kill me".

[FuzzyDunlop]

And "I don't wanna die"

[Rudderless]

Reviews are all over the place. It sounds quite ambitious in many ways, but the execution is lacking, obviously partially thanks to lack of funding. I burst out laughing at the garish menu screen.
