Ignition Entertainment has announced a new Xbox 360 exclusive title, coming in March 2010. Titled Deadly Premonition, it's a third person survival horror game where you play as an FBI agent in a rural town. Head on over to the official website to check out the full trailer.

In early 2010, Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames is working in conjunction with Marvelous Entertainment to give gamers a glimpse into Deadly Premonition, a third-person survival horror action game releasing in North America on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
Deadly Premonition, developed by Access Games, is a third-person survival horror action game which puts players in the role of the intuitive FBI Agent Francis York Morgan. In the process of investigating a murder, players will examine a series of interlocking mysteries in a remote rural town and will encounter an array of complex characters pivotal to the unraveling of the storyline’s mystery. Suspenseful action sequences will force players to make strategic moves, gliding by enemies in the shadows or engaging them with long-range weapons or hand-to-hand melee combat. From the unparalleled atmosphere, music and mysterious storyline to driving vehicles and exploring the entire town, Deadly Premonition will offer players a unique and haunting interactive gaming experience unlike any other.
“Deadly Premonition is an intense and unforgettable action game that we are thrilled to add to Ignition’s 2010 lineup,” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “The gifted developers at Access Games have created a game that will undoubtedly heighten players’ senses as they dive deeper into the mysterious town, eerie story line and action-packed interactive elements.”
“Ignition Entertainment has done an incredible job finding and targeting each game’s primary audience and we could not be more excited to team up with them to publish Deadly Premonition,” said Hidetaka Suehiro, Director, Access Games. “We’ve developed the graphic styling and game play of Deadly Premonition to uniquely trigger the suspenseful emotions in every player. We promise an astounding ending if you can meet the challenge to solve the mystery and make it there!”
Like a mix between Alan Wake, Silent Hill and Resident Evil 4. I must say that my initial reaction is that the graphics looks like a mix between current and last-gen. I like the visual style somewhat though, and that matters a hell of a lot more than number of polygons on-screen. Just one thing though; the colors looks really washed out and too bright. I wish they'd make it have stronger colors and have it a little darker, but then again perhaps it just takes some getting used to.
The music sounds really cool, gives a great atmosphere. Story sounds intriguing, and gameplay - although it looks a bi clunkish and slow, could prove to be perfect for a survival horror title. Like a slower Resident Evil 4.
I'm glad they are taking this route when it comes to survival horror, instead of the recent 3rd person action piece of shit that was Resident Evil 5. Being a survival horror buff, this title is a definite must-buy.
Is it just me or does this game look like it came from the beginning of this generation... Maybe I'm just becoming a graphics whore...

Horror games are pretty uncommon these days. They are treated more like action games now (Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark). I'll definitely check this out, regardless of its dated visuals.
Not to de-rail the thread but what is with people hatin' on Flash? I haven't had any issues with it at all. I read 'I hate Flash based sites' a lot on various sites. I really don't see what the problem is with it.
