Holy shit if true!

I certainly hope so! I skipped the entire DP endurance run for this very possibility.

According to HMV, the game would be released in September 17h at a retail price of 25 punds. 

I checked this web some weeks ago and there was no release date at all, so maybe Deadly Premontion is actually comting to Europe, yay!
Anyway,juuuuuust in case.... if you haven't showed your support yet, go to Rising Star Games' boards ( ttp://www.risingstargames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=62&start=380  and post as hard as you can asking for the game to be released!

" I certainly hope so! I skipped the entire DP endurance run for this very possibility. "

Pre-Order Confirmed!

Here's hoping.

Yay! Good for you guys! "

Listing seem to have disappeared... Either accidental leak, or HMV messed up again (Left 4 Dead PS3 was listed at one point). GamesCom announcement? 

listing is back up my friends !
 
there is still hope.

ergh 
360 only still. 
Well, its a start.

^ Dude all PS3 games are region free anyway so European PS3 owners can import away and have their fun.
 
Poor 360 chaps have to live with the curse of region locking and Deadly Premonition is one of those region locked games.

Ok, GiantBombers, take a look at this:
 http://www.siliconera.com/2010/07/09/we-predict-rising-star-will-bring-deadly-premonition-to-europe/
 
DP has been rated by the German rating boards. Therefore, DP is confirmed to be released in Germany.

Now up at play.com too, £17.99!

So I hear this game has a sort of cult following? From the reviews I read, it's garbage, but colour me intrigued simply because of the fans here. Can anyone tell me why they like it? I'll have to consider buying it when it does come here to Europe.

• The graphics are terrible.
• The character models are terrible.
• The animations are terrible.
• The weapons are terrible.
• The combat and controls are terrible.
• The sound effects are terrible.
• The map and guidance system is terrible.
• The music is terrible.

I aim to spread as much good word as possible about DP, mainly 'cuz it's just such a rare kind of event in the gaming community and it really deserves to be talked about.  I wouldn't seek out any more info about it because it's really the most fun when you go into it not really knowing what to expect; you may not like parts of it at first, but that's normal.  Just stick with it for as long as possible.  If you can't make it, I guess you could watch the Endurance Run... as a last resort.
 
Anyway, get back to us if you ever pick it up!  I eagerly await the new wave of European DP fans.

Oh, also: Was that the PAL cover?!  AWWWWWW, SO JEALOUS
 
I may have to print that out and slide it into my box cover.  Man alive.

Up on amazon.co.uk as well, for £20.99.

Look, the game will be released in UK, but you must be over 15 years old in order to play it:

yep, even the BBFC have rated this game, it is a 15. 

Look, a higher resolution shot of the cover:

So this is all for sure now? Just don't want to get my hopes dashed again. I seem to remember a report of it coming to Europe before that was debunked pretty quick.

" So this is all for sure now? Just don't want to get my hopes dashed again. I seem to remember a report of it coming to Europe before that was debunked pretty quick. "

Cool but I already imported it.

" @jos4:  That's great, I've avoided the endurance run this far and was close to caving. Is this due to fan demand? "

So glad to see this finally coming to Europe. Too bad Rising Star is only publishing it for the 360, however... would have been great for PS3 owners to get it as well without having to resort to importing from Japan (and getting trophies they can understand).
 
I only watched a few of the first endurance run episodes so not much has been spoiled. FWIW, the PAL boxart looks more like the original Japanese Red Seeds Profile one.

YES!!!

Excellent news!

So I guess the PAL release date for the 360 in Europe is officially Sept 17?  Yes amazing bullseye if true.

Amazing. Pre-ordering it right now!

...I just did my regular, hopeless search on play.com for Deadly Premonition, like I do everytime I visit the site, and damn!

I should have known that I would not have been the first to discover this, but this is unspeakably great news!!

...Now I must definitely give up on giving up on smoking for a little more than a month.

Excellent news! I hope the boxart isn't final but I have £10 left of an Amazon giftcard, and it's been reduced to £17.99 now. I'll definitely be getting this for £8! News on Xbox360Achievements: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-5989-Uh-Oh--Deadly-Premonition-Is-PAL-Bound.html

DEADLY PREMONITION PAL RELEASE CONFIRMED  
 
 Rising Star Games, publisher of games such as Little King's Story and the No More Heroes series has secured the rights to publish Deadly Premonition.

Access Games' Deadly Premonition has become infamous for being extremely controversial among reviewers. While some responded well to its odd story and dialogue others dismissed the title as a just plain awful game.

Deadly Premonition is an open-world effort that takes place in a secluded rural town in North West America. FBI Agent Francis York is sent to investigating the ritualistic and brutal murder of a local girl, naturally - things quickly take a turn for the worse.

The game has been awarded scores that span the entire scale, from a 2/10 to a 10/10.

Deadly Premonition will be available for £24.99 in the autumn exclusively on the Xbox 360. Check out the screenshots below for more on the game.

...The boxart on the one at amazon definitely needs change, I guess the one at play and the other place is better.

Weird how amazon only shows screenshots from the first versions of the game, with the prettyboy versions of both York and the sheriff... Almost got me worried that they would do an inexplicable and horrible take on the Nier Gestalt/Nier Replicant formula.

I think the new Amazon boxart is better than the one on Play.com. It's not a messed up montage.

So these are just from an early version? "

Anyone know if this version will be region locked to European territories only, or whether it will work on Australian consoles?
 I must know... D:

" @DarkFury said:

Yup, I'm pretty sure they scrapped those, some say to lessen the similarities to certain characters from a tv-show if I remember correctly, might just have been because they didn't look badass enough... "
