Deadly Premonition and El Shaddai publisher Ignition Entertainment recently underwent a bit of restructuring, leading it to adopt part of the moniker of its parent company, UTV Group. The publisher, henceforth named UTV Ignition Entertainment, will now focus on delivering downloadable titles on digital platforms including PSN, XBLA, Steam, Facebook, Google Games and the App Store.
The change was made to satisfy "a demand to market and publish games at more inclusive price points that maintain the same level of quality as their boxed counterparts," UTV Ignition chairman Hassan Sadiq explained in a recent statement. We suppose that's an admirable goal, though we'll never forgive them for missing the perfect opportunity to name their business "Remix to Ignition." For shame, you guys. For shame.

I really don't know what to think of Deadly Premonition yet. It was either so bad that it was good or so good that it was bad. I don't know.

@AutobotIronhide - If Jeff Cannata's rant from this weeks "Weekend Confirmed" podcast is to be believed, it's so bad that it's bad.

She's staring at us. She can't resist my beautiful face.
But honestly, I think she's looking at a stop sign or something. Can't remember.

deadly premonition was an amazing game. never in video games did i ever think i would find a "b-game" (as, in a b-movie) with such character all it's own, like the first time i ever saw romero's dawn of the dead.
sad to hear that the possibility of anything similar is gone.

Back on topic, I'm sure this was a result of a board meeting.
"Our research shows that people are starting to get an inkling as to who 'Ignition' is and what we make, and that's simply unacceptable."
"But sir, what would you have us do?"
"I don't know, can we throw some random letters in front of it?"
"I... I suppose."
"Like... LMNOP!"
"Like in the Alphabet song?"
"NOOO... wait, I've got this. OPP?"
"Doesn't that stand for Other People's P--"
"Strike that, I have it! UTV!"
"I'm... pretty sure that's the call sign for a Spanish language television station."
"PERFECT."
"Yes sir, right away sir... 'UTV Ignition' it is."
