Valve Decided to Approve That Divekick Game

And something called Deadly Premonition, too.

No Caption Provided

In the latest string of Greenlight approvals for Steam, Valve accepted fan favorites Divekick, Deadly Premonition, and a slew of others.

The complete list is as follows:

Valve covered a wide range of games here, from crowd-backed prospects (Among the Sleep, A Hat in Time), to already released games seeking a bigger home (Rekoil, Operation Black Mesa), to the types of games one wouldn't ordinarily think needed to go down this road (Deadly Premonition).

In case you missed it, Divekick now has a release date, too: August 20. That’s for the $10 version on PlayStation 3 and Vita, which comes with the always welcomed Cross Buy support. I wouldn’t be surprised if the PC version joined that date, too. I could track Dave Lang down in Chicago and ask him? Nah.

Really happy that A Hat In Time was greenlit. Now I hope Gears for Breakfast get enough funds to release it on eShop for Wii U. That game must be on a Nintendo console.

That's some hardcore foodie nonsense, right there. I respect that.

Releasing Divekick the 20th of August seems like a VERY bad idea considering that splinter cell, The Bureau and Saints Row 4 also release that day.

How are they expecting to sell with that kind of competition?

Fuck yeah! Among the Sleep, Deadly Premonition and BroForce are the games I look forward the most. I don't really care about Divekick. I highly recommend checking out BroForce they have a demo on their website and it's super good.

Sweet. Deadly Premonition is the perfect game to pick up on a Steam sale. Especially since it seems to be slightly difficult to find the standard $20 original 360 version.

And DiveKick was built on a PC, so one could imagine that it would be the platform most ripe for release on Aug 20.

It's only been on there for all of maybe a week or so. I assume it must've immediately gotten like a zillion votes and page hits, for it to immediately make the next batch of Greenlit games.

I'm sorry guys, but Deadly Premonition is a garbage game. I watched the Endurance Run because of the GB crew - their commentary.

Your opinions are wrong and morally abhorrent. Be ashamed.

In other news, looks like I'm buying two copies of Divekick.

I APPRECIATE DEADLY PREMONITION AND ITS QUIRKY NATURE, so much I use caps. Also I'll be buying it for the 3rd time even if I've never opened the 360 or PS3 copy.

Really hate greenlight with finished games like Divekick, Deadly Premonition & others where the game is done & it's just steam being picky on what goes on their site. Glad to see these games going on steam/pc though as they're great fun.

Dope. Cook serve delicious is still caught in greenlight limbo though. Go vote for that.

This. Everyone please do this. Such a fun game.

Agreed, this game needs to get on there.

I don't understand why Deadly Premonition even needed to go through Greenlight given it already being out on two major consoles. But there we are, I guess. You should all pick it up in next year's summer sale (if not before), it's genuinely a wonderful specimen - just one wrapped in awful control systems.

I did buy it for PS3 when it was finally released here earlier this year. Haven't opened my copy either, but I'll probably buy another copy on Steam when it's released there.

Had Deadly Premonition been submitted through a traditional cert system I'm sure it would have taken more than seven days and $100 bucks to get the game accepted.

Apparently, Greenlight is terrible even when a game sails through without issue. Who could have predicted that?

@funkasaurasrex: I can't believe cook,serve,delicious hasn't been greenlit yet! I bought that game ages ago after the quick look on the dev's site but I knew it was in green light awhile ago. This game deserves to be on Steam for sure!
