Man oh man. I wish I did not sell my xbox because of this game! is there any way i can play this on my pc?

i'm gonna go find vids to post! edit: my internet is slow right now so i can't skip through them to find the cool ones.

did anyone get this? i know at least one person did. if you haven't heard of it, the best way to first describe it is twin peaks the game. the makers wanted to make a game which was alot like twin peaks, and after they got accused of ripping it off they toned down the similarities but there are still tons. aside from that, it looks weirder than twin peaks and i can't figure it out yet. i can tell from the videos i have seen that it's all definitely intentional and the guys who made this have got to be pretty smart. the gameplay itself is probably awful but that's not why i am interested in this one. i hear it's kind of an open world game and you can do loads of mundane stuff like shave and go fishing while trying to solve this series of murders.

here's me goin nuts over a game, but i really wish i could play it. i'll keep it in mind if i ever get an xbox again, which actually i probably will. unless i can play it on pc somehow but i don't think that is possible, is it?

Deadly Premonition looks pretty dope. It's like a low-budget Heavy Rain, if Heavy Rain were an actual game with fun parts and a sense of humour.

I love how he verbally congratulates himself for every single headshot, but in a tone one would use to admire paintings in an art gallery

What the hell? What a weird game. It's intriguing but I have to say it seems to contend at least with the boringness of heavy rain.

haha holy shit. it's actually DAVID LYNCH: THE GAME. i just read that it was supposed to be MORE LIKE DAVID LYNCH and they actually pushed back the release date a whole year to change things a bit, presumably so david lynch couldn't sue the fuck out of them.

my fav. character is naomi watts emily wyatt


i'll give this game a try at some point. i'm really not particularly fond of horror games, particularly the ones with dreadful controls, both of which seem to be prevalent in this game. the actual gameplay of this looks pretty hideous, but i don't think that's why you'd play a game like this. i've watched a bunch of videos of this game today and at worst it seems pretty interesting.

this is actually the first fucking game on xbox that i've seen that appears to legitimately give a shit about aesthetics and the creative presentation. so many games, even the ones that are fairly good, just seem so indifferent to the audience. it's like the status quo for games now is just hurling graphical realism at you, or some stupid game concept, and just expect you to do the rest of the work in immersing yourself into the game environment or finding some sort of meaning in the otherwise passive, empty world they've provided for you. it's hard to tell if this game really succeeds at being different than that, but it's pretty clear that they're trying. pretty discouraging that their ambition gets rewarded by being a budget title.

Oh yeah this game has always been $20 since launch. The devs are incredible.

Any chance this will get ported to PS3 or PC?

If not, I guess I'll have to unpack my XBOX again, which isn't too big of a deal.  Aside from the annoyance of untangling wires and moving my PS3

I'm going to be getting this game. it looks amazing!!

Is heavy rain as good as everyone says it is?  I've been thinking about buying that game sooner or later. I just really don't want to buy a game that is only a series of QTE.

i'd like to know this, too. i have the demo and it felt kind of cumbersome to control, so i wrote it off at first. then I went through a fight scene, and it was REALLY intense to me, even though it was just pressing the right button in time, so i'm thinking about at least giving it a rental.

i would say rent it unless you're planning on playing it more than once to get different scenes.  it doesn't take that long to finish, so unless you're really into seeing every possibility in the game, you're not going to want to spend $60 on it.  but, is it worth playing?  fuck yes.

Couldn't find it at any of the local game stores, so I just ordered from Amazon. Should be here soon. Stoked.

Destructoid's review pretty much sold me.  At first I was worried that it would be too much of a Twin Peaks rip-off (at least based on that first video), but now I think I understand.  Also IGN is the worst god damned review website on the internet and they gave it a 2, so now I just want to buy it even more.
