I\u2019m like whatever happened to &#8220;X game,&#8221; you know it\u2019s old name, and they were like, &#8220;that game?&#8221; Rainy Woods is like you\u2019re not supposed to talk about that, but it was Rainy Woods five years ago. I asked about it and they were like, &#8220;Oh, you\u2019re interested in that? It\u2019s in development hell,&#8221; basically. And I was like &#8220;Of course, I\u2019m interested in that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I played Spy Fiction and I\u2019m a fan of things Deadly Premonition is inspired by. As soon as I got a copy, I was like this game has to come out for all of the reasons \u2013 the writing, the creativity, the fact that it\u2019s like Shenmue, you know it\u2019s so ambitious. It isn\u2019t the best game ever made. It has a lot of technical problems. That\u2019s why we felt the price point that we chose was right. For sixty bucks the game might have been killed at retail, but at a more palatable price it became a success. And it is one of the most successful games we ever published.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Because it was so successful, would Ignition publish a sequel to Deadly Premonition or a spiritual sequel without Marvelous?<\/b><\/p>\n<p> <i>I would say the IP rights and kind of like the content rights of Deadly Premonition in general make it difficult to imagine a full, real sequel ever happening. I would love for that to happen, but I don\u2019t think that will happen. However, Swery and Access Games, I would love to work with them again.<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This makes me really sad, I would love, love, LOVE to see a DP sequel!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with Shane Bettenhausen from Ignition Entertainment Siliconera asked the possibility of a Deadly Premonition sequel: Let\u2019s talk about another game, one that\u2019s close to your heart, Deadly Premonition.
