Ignition Entertainment, partnering with recent publisher BFF Marvelous Entertainment, has announced a new survival horror game for Xbox 360 called Deadly Premonition. The game is the second original work from Access Games, who created the PS2 stealth game Spy Fiction, and also codeveloped The Sky Crawlers and Ace Combat X.
The game stars an FBI agent investigating a murder in Silent Hill a rural town full of unexplained events, mysterious characters, and, apparently, dripping blood. It will feature exploration and driving in addition to fighting creepy Jawas. Ignition predicts an early 2010 release.
If this game looks familiar to you, you have a really good memory! It was announced back in 2007 as Rainy Woods, and was a multiplatform release at the time. It's now been renamed and targeted just at the 360.
This has been my most anticipated Xbox 360 game since it was announced years ago. I was hoping it would come to PS3, but I'm just happy that the game has a release date.
Though, I may end up renting first just in case it gets a PS3 release like Vampire Rain did. Anyway, it looks interesting and I'm looking forward to playing it.
WTF?! Are you serious?! Why the hell would you be waiting for this piece of crap? Xbox1 graphics from a developer with a terrible track record? I'd pay $5, max.
Definitely looks like a budget game, which isn't a bad thing (Earth Defense Force 2017 freaking rocked). Freaky, but I would need to see more gameplay footage.
I'm with everyone on the graphics looking VERY last gen. WTF?!?! Crappy graphics aside the game looks pretty terrible. I have a feeling quite a few of these discs are gonna end up in the bargain bin or eventually become a small stack of very expensive drink coasters.........PASS!!!!

Will be getting this. Not because it might be good, but because it's a survival/horror.
I do love my horror titles.

Looks like a 2nd rate PS2 title....
Gavin @ Nov 10th 2009 5:59PM
I was actually gonna say that. The lighting in this is really flat and through and through it doesnt stand up to current gen standards :(
brizzah @ Nov 10th 2009 6:24PM
agreed.... when i was watching the video i thought to myself "this has to be a wii game" ....then i saw the 360 logo...

Seriously, it looks like a PS2 game, and not a good one at that.
Drewtlo @ Nov 10th 2009 3:33PM
Not impressed by the trailer at all and I always look forward to a new Survival Horror title.

Silent Hill 39 - The comeback...

Let's see, all the previous games from the developer blew, it's a Silent Hill wannabe, and http://www.joystiq.com/photos/deadly-premonition-xbox-360/2440537/ ....
Yup.
Petebot330 @ Nov 10th 2009 3:35PM
I'll skip this for the Silent Hill Wii game.
MonKENy @ Nov 10th 2009 3:37PM

I don't know why but I found the part where the female zombie puts her arm in the protagonist's mouth to be freaky.

Yeah, I'm serious.
I don't know why anyone would be waiting for Guitar Hero and Call of Duty but people buy them.
People have different tastes.

Look, it's a bunch of dead Sims!

Screen 5 is freaking me out, his head is turned way too much.
I can imagine the Exorcist scene playing out in that car.
Courtney @ Nov 10th 2009 5:04PM
Holy crap that looked bad.

My "deadly premonition"? This game is going to be a dud...........
Soiden @ Nov 10th 2009 5:31PM
Horrible trailer.
Very bad graphics for a X360 exclusive.
Almost nothing of gameplay.
Repititive music.
Lack of atmosphere.
Let's hope they work a lot more on it.
modok @ Nov 10th 2009 5:41PM
i have a Deadly Premonition all right: No Sales
DranoMax @ Nov 10th 2009 9:55PM
Alan Wake? Is that you? It'd be interesting if one of Wake's stories was THIS game. Interesting but impossible.
dehnertcollin @ Nov 12th 2009 10:15AM
it's a girl game
