Why do the faces look like they face Vaseline on them?
Take that PR guy
So has anyone explained why Playism is distributing this and not Microsoft themselves? Did it underperform so badly that MS is washing their hands of it and letting any ol' schmuks pick it up and do whether they want with it?
Well they never really owned the IP and I don't think they wanted to pump any more money into it after the first season so I imagine that's where Playism came into the picture.
Huh? Interesting. So does that mean that Access just kept it exclusive to Xbone out of the goodness of their own hearts? That's weird. But it does explain the fuck all MS did to promote the game. Fucking SWERY. Makes games weird, sells games weird.
No, it wasn't done out of kindness. Microsoft funded it.
Then that certainly doesn't explain the fuck all MS did to promote that game. But then again, if it made any sense at all, it just wouldn't be SWERY.
Has any of his games been shown at E3 before MS did it? It seems this game got the most advertising any of his games did, they also made it free with gold. His games just aren't appealing to lots of people and understandably so.

E3? I'm not sure, but the original Red Seeds Profile was shown at a trade show, maybe TGS? (That's where Shane Bettenhausen first caught wind of it.) Still, Microsoft, the platform holder of the console where D4 was an exclusive did NOTHING to promote that game. Fuck, there was a NeoGAF thread started by a dude that was essentially a call for help to try to promote the game and gets some sales going that probably did more to promote the game than anything MS did.
Showing the trailer at E3 was a huge push and it wasn't like the game was hidden, iirc, they showed it off at every show they had and Conan streamed it on twitch. Idk what people expected. I bought the game day one and enjoy it, but it got way more promotion than any of his prior titles.
Sure the hardcore fans knew all about it, I bought a fucking Xbone the day it was released (fuck you SWERY for that by the way). But a friend of mine who loved Deadly Premonition but doesn't read NeoGAF daily was blindsided be the release of that game (as was I, and I DO read NeoGAF daily). Whoever was in charge of PR for that game cocked it up something fierce in my opinion.
It was like the Saturn "oh and it's on sale NOW" CES/E3 announcement where no one was ready. Hyping up your game 5+ years prior to release = dick move. Announcing your launch 30 seconds prior release = also a dick move. A knowledgeable PR person knows you've got to let these things cook. Not too long, not too quick.
