Hi guys!
Since there has been a lot of rumors about Rising Star Games publishing Deadly Premonition in the EU, but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet, I've though we could show our support for a PAL release by posting here:
http://www.risingstargames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=62&start=260
That's the section where users suggest which games they want to see published in Europe.
Let's all post there and let them know Europeans want FK in our coffee too!!
An Endurance Run is great, but as a European gamer I also wanna experience the game myself!! :D
Deadly Premonition
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Feb 23, 2010
An open-world action-adventure game following an eccentric FBI agent as he investigates a series of bizarre murders in the small rural town of Greenvale.
Show your support for a PAL version of Deadly Premonition!!
Demon's Souls STILL isn't in the EU?" This game isn't very good. I think Demon's Souls would be a much better game to get published in EU. "
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Import the game. It's well worth it." @jos4 said:Ok, I'll obey you." @JJOR64: Why not? After reading many reviews and user impressions it looks very interesting to me. Also, I'm a huge Twin Peaks fan, what more could I ask for, a Twin Peaks inspired game, yay!! "Because it's a horrible game. That's all you need to know. "
Just show your support for a PAL release in RSG webpage and I promise you I won't play the game when it gets an official European release! You've got my word on that! ;-)

That should tell you how terrible the game is, if they can't be PAID to finish the game.

I've wanted to play DP looong before the rumors of it getting an Endurance Run were brought up..

" @havelava said:The story and characters are engaging. It's not Halo, Modern Warfare or Mass Effect, but that does not mean it's bad. It already has a cult following." @DystopiaX: Have you played the game? "You don't have to play it to realize it's a bad game. That's like saying you have to play Big Riggs before saying it's a bad game. "
While your at it, release Grandia III in Europe to.

Why should we suffer for your terrible taste? Please support your fellow Europeans!" lol this game is awful. i do not want to see it in my region. i will thoroughly enjoy the ER and leave it there. "

But i'm sure it'll get a sales boost thanks to giantbomb, even i bought persona 4 after watching the ER =)

People don't like Deadly Premonition because it's a great game. People can still like bad games. Just ask the BROTRRers.
" I'd be down for an European release no doubt. Few games have piqued my interest such as this.My point is that it's a niche game- Deadly Premonition was not this popular before the ER, and gained a lot of fans on this forum because people were desperate for an ER-any ER. The "lot" of people that you claim like this game on this forum are a small percentage of actual gamers (there are only 470 people who have played Deadly Premonition on this site, by the achievement unlocks page). This is FAR less than any of the popular games on this site- the praise you were hearing from before the ER came from a very small percentage of gamers, and the "popular demand" was bolstered by people who don't give a shit what the editors play, as long as there's an Endurance Run.

It is true that it's a niche game, but even within the population of people who would enjoy it, it's still a niche game. A double-niched game you might say. What I think I'm seeing is it becoming more and more of a single-niched game, and that gives me hope for more creative games in the future (or maybe even a sequel with an actual budget).
You're absolutely right that this isn't a good game in the conventional sense, but I've gotten bored with conventional games, even the good ones. For all its rough edges, this was a breath of fresh air for me if for no other reason than that it was completely different than anything I've ever played.
You can describe Dead Space using Resident Evil 4 or Gears of War using Kill Switch, but there's no one game that you can use to describe Deadly Premonition. And frankly, unless this gets a sequel, I doubt I'll see another game like this for a long time.
Thanks to all of you show showed your support, I really hope we get a EU release! And those of you who haven't posted in RSG forums... what are you waiting for!?
BTW, take a look at this sales chart:
NMH2 sold 80K in 10 weeks while DP sold 40K in 7 weeks.
No More Heroes 2 for the Wii will actually be broguth to Europe by Rising Star Games. If we compare the sales of both games, I think that Deadly Premonition isn't doing bad at all.
You know, No More Heroes is already an established saga and its creator is relatively well known. Deadly Premonition is such an unknown game which didn't have any kind of advertising at all, nor it is a hyped title. And also, it looks ugly as hell.
Even though it managed to sell pretty well, not far below No More Heroes!
I really think Rising Star Games should consider bringing DP to Europe, sales wouldn't be catastrophic, and they'd probably manage to create a cult following over seas!
