First Look at Deadly Premontion

Chad Lakkis writes: "What do bloody red peace signs, country bumpkin limbo zombie with a tongue feeling fetish, rumor spreading whispers, a hydroplaning police car, and hemorrhaging trees have in common? They're all featured in the first look trailer for Ignition Entertainment's Deadly Premonition, a survival horror game due to hit US store shelves as an Xbox 360 exclusive on February 22nd, 2010."

Wolfie5971d ago

Horrible trailer. I love survival horror games but this is a joke.

green5971d ago

i predict a metacritic score of 22.

Nostradavis5971d ago

Agreed. This is by far one of the corniest trailers I've ever seen. The bit with the women whispering in each others ears was just flat out bad.

THE MAX SPEED 215971d ago

the part where the female zombie puts her hands in that guy's mouth was HILARIOUS!!

Nostradavis5971d ago

@MAX

The fact that she is doing the limbo and then puts her hand in his mouth is what made me laugh. I mean, how slow do you have to be to not be able to move from a zombie coming out you that is hunched over and walking backwards???

@TOO PAWNED

I will agree with you in that I'm sure PS3 fans aren't sitting there going "darn I wish we could play this too!!" lol

ReservoirDog3165971d ago

Really? Really?

Why even write that? What good would it do?

Pistolero5971d ago

This doesn't look good, but Too Pawned is an idiot...I guess he is nervous about the amazing 360 lineup this year.

Bungie5971d ago

i've seen that trailer back in 2007-2008

this is a very old vid

thereapersson5971d ago (Edited 5971d ago )

Or maybe he was making a joke and you can't lighten up enough to see that?

edit @ below

Well since I don't track every user on this site or view every single comment ever made, I'm never sure of that.

Besides, there are a lot more immature people around here than just him...

sack_boi5971d ago

No, he's just an immature fanboy that hates on a box.

el zorro5971d ago

@ thereapersson

That isn't a joke, that is a stupid fanboy jab. It has no business in the gamer zone. If a 360 fanboy made a comment like that in a PS3 article he would be crucified. But go on defending it. We know where your allegiances lie and that is the only reason you are backing him.

Besides, to be funny jokes have to at least be partly based on truth. His comment had no truth to it.

Chris3995971d ago

But it's quirky and Japanese, so I will probably get this when it - inevitably - hit's the sun $20 mark.

I played Bullet Witch all the way to completion, if that gives you some idea of how low I can go :)

thereapersson5971d ago

You have no business pointing out someone's perceived bias with your history on this site...

SoX FireBlade5971d ago

lol looks like they made the game within 5 minutes

too bad this is a 360 exclusive

starchild5971d ago

After your comment 1.10 you have no business pointing out anybody's bias either, thereapersson. You are no better. Do you think because you have a higher bubble count it means you are any less of a fanboy?

As to the video, it looks crappy. Poor graphics and a really cheesy trailer.

It looks like a Wii game graphics look horrible for a 360 game, but the concept looks interesting. I expect 5 or 6s reviews with one or two 7 or 8s.

JokesOnYou5971d ago

Who are these guys, I mean do they really think this game is going to compete in a market that is packed with so many top-notch quality games?

JOY

Tony P5971d ago

Not a great trailer.

I don't mind the overall look of the visuals, but some of them look plain uninspired. Overall it looks like it could be an interesting game albeit poorly done.

pixelsword5970d ago (Edited 5970d ago )

I have to look at the trailer... (BrB)

?

It looks like FMV for a game made on the Dreamcast

What the heck man, Don't even say this game and Alan Wake in the same sentence.

PlainOldGamer5970d ago

OMG LOL I just looked on Gamestops website and this game is only 20.00$!!! They sure don't seem very confident in this game >_> (btw this game looks like a terrible mash up of silent hill + resident evil 4)

TOO PAWNED5971d ago

Gun X Sword is great anime btw

xaviertooth5971d ago

these are ps2 era left-overs ported to EXCLUSIVE to XBOX360.

MajestieBeast5971d ago

Lol that hand in the mouth just made me laugh.

Doc Sony5971d ago

they can't all be Mass Effects, but this seriously looks like it belongs on the Wii.

Video Games Proud To Not Be For Everyone

Plenty of games have made a name for themselves as being proud of the fact they’re not to everyone’s taste over the years.

If you make something for everyone, you please no one.

mkis007475d ago

I mean I can do without nintendo games if given the choice. They are not nearly as mature rated as the average.

Yui_Suzumiya475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

Yeah but I use my Switch OLED primarily for anime booba style games (visual novels and JRPG's) and ultra violent FPS's. Far from kid friendly, lol

JohnBLZ475d ago

The problem with that line of though is that games have never been as much "for everyone" as in 2025.
The only thing that's not for everyone in gaming lately is the gatekeeping. Devs will try to appeal to as many people as they can, but if you dare have your own tastes and prefer something a bit more obscure, then you have "L takes" because at the moment, popular opinion equals right opinion.
So devs should simply own the fact they water down their games and go Hollywood to please everybody. Then indies will go back to being trendsetters that are different from AAAs, instead of being roguelike and gacha copycats.

Okay, but "games I'm not meant to love" means I won't play them.
Games are for fun. They're their own art, it's a disservice to reduce them to interactive stories. You can focus on making your audience entertained on a positive way and still stand out.

jznrpg475d ago

No game is for everyone. Some games are more mainstream or casual friendly but there is always someone who won’t like it. Same with anything else

It’s sooooo janky but the story is so good and the agent is so quirky I loved it thouroughly, the story is that good that you can actually make it through all of its jankiness and issues .
It’s a diamond in the rough and rough is saying lighly.
This game deserves a remake out of any game I can think of .
If they fixed the combat ,driving and movement this would be one of my favorite games all time and it already is in a way.

After10Ben1189d ago

The first time I turned on my flashlight was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a game. His suit just sort of lights up. There's no physical flashlight in his hand--hilarious. It's also the only game I've played to truly capture the delightfull quirkiness of Twin Peaks. I'm with you on how much I like this game. Despite all of its flaws, it's a genuinely fun experience. "My coffee warned me about it," is probably my favorite line of all time in any video game.

I still haven't played the sequel, but I will some day.

shinoff21831189d ago

I enjoyed this back during ps3 days. I'd buy it again if they re released it fixed up a little. I had fun with it.
