I'll be skipping out on this game. It doesn't look that great. If it was more adventure then maybe, but when I saw the battle screen like the one above, I told my self no way am I getting this.
I'm not an FPS turd but I'm the kind of guy who wants a game like Silent Hill without the stupid battle systems.

Easy buy on the $20 alone. If it's even half as good as some of the Simple 2000 games that use to come out, I'd be satisfied. It'd be great if the US just started dropping games like the Simple 2000 series. Fun, amusing games, at cheap price points that aren't just downloads. I actually want this as a warm up to Heavy Rain and Alan Wake.

“At the moment we can only confirm what is available in the press release. In other words, it is only available on the Xbox 360.”

Oh lord. Timed exclusivity is so stupid.

From what I gathered from reading this, it's only $20 the first day as a promotional price.

Hopefully the PS3 version will do the same thing.

EDIT: re-reading it again, I guess that really means it'll be $20 from day one and onward.

Loving the price. May buy just to support this ballsy move.

i've got to admit, i was more excited when it more heavily ripped off twin peaks. trading the dancing man for two dancing men was rather transparent, but acceptable. trading the two dancing men for two angels? not such a great deal. i want a harry s. truman look-alike in my game. i want to start out at the bridge were ronette pulaski was found. there are still some nods, but they're more vague like the girls whispering like laura to dale in the newly modified 'red room'. i'll buy the game at 20, but i feel that the twin peaks rip-offs were the game's biggest selling points. i'm sad to see them go.
btw, the crusade for deleted scenes on the FWWM dvd continues.

Graphically it looks decent and sort of looks like it'd have decent gameplay, but then again, so did Alone in the Dark.

Im the only one laughing his ass off because it is a XBox Trailer with PS3 footage?
Even better, they say there is no PS3 version? lol.

I just assumed it was downloadable because of the Xbox Live logo at the end of the trailer, I guess they all say Xbox Live for all 360 games, I don't remember… Probably too big for a d/lable game though.

If I had a 360 I'd definitely buy this, if only just to support the audacity of a $20 price point. Though the game does look interesting. Here's hoping for a ps3 version..

No it's still retail, just $20 at retail.

So this has been downgraded and become a downloadable game now? Looks kind of underwhelming after the original Rainy Woods trailer.. I guess that's why it's $20 and not looking to compete w/ Heavy Rain and Alan Wake..

The price point and trailer make me a little hesitant about how game this is going to end up being.
