Dead Space is definitely on my list of best new IPs to come from this generation. Plus it got a great reception for being the most survival horror-y game we\'ve had in a while, so I dont think there\'s a chance for it to lose that like RE did.

Is it possible for them to IMPROVE on the first one? I\'m not sure, but if they do, holy ____ it\'s going to be awesome.

it\'s a game, not a rare astronomical event. go rent it or something

and yea, it\'s going to be tough for them to outdo themselves. Hopefully they come up with a few good gameplay changeups like the zero gravity puzzles. Plus the dead space universe is open to whatever enemies their sick minds can come up with.

I don\'t rent games; and too many new games to buy, AC2, God of War3, GT5, Heavy Rain, FFXIII, and too busy lately with Uncharted2 and MW2.

[size=+1]Guess what? Unless Visceral’s being amazingly cryptic, Dead Space 2 – announced today – is to have multiplayer.[/size]

I\'m happy that this will be ONLINE multiplayer...this game is not meant to be played offline multi....and the first game was imo the best horror game of 08....yup as good as RE5 was, that game just wasn\'t scary and completely lost it\'s horror roots.

Dead Space kept you on edge and the situation that you was in seemed hopeless..THAT is how survival horror is supposed to feel, chris was uppercutting zombies like he was ryu or some s**t....i\'m definitely lookin\' forward to dead space 2.

The game was pure awesome at its best. I would consider it a must have ps3 game period. Can\'t wait for part 2 wonder how more awesome can the game get. "Looks at uncharted 2 laying on the floor"

The first one is brilliant, one of the best games out there. I will look forward to a sequel.

I was a bit concerned in the article where it states gamers stated that they didn\'t feel "badass" while playing the first game..:rolleyes:.....i hope they don\'t cater to these idiotic 12-13 year old halo/ call of duty/ grand theft auto/fps shallow playing nitwits.

You\'re NOT supposed to feel "badass" when playing a game like this....those gamers that want badass can go and play RE5....but after reading the rest of the article it seems that are still going to stay true to the dread and hopelessness of the first game.....tho they did state that the player will have moments of feeling superior over the creatures, i just hope that isn\'t a major part of the overall gameplay....i liked feeling on edge and helpless in the first game.

There\'s waaay to many horror gaming idiots out there that want their horror games to be a RE5/ left 4 dead blastfest....it\'s what\'s ruining horror movies today and if they\'re not careful, it\'s going to ruin horror video games as well....me? i\'ll stick to tradionally scary intense atmospheric gaming content....so far I can only get my fix currently from Dead Space/Siren new translation and The Silent Hill games...RE is completely action now.

ugh. thats so retarded. What\'s even worse is their sales will probably go up if they make their guy "bad ass". you can feel like a bad ass in almost every other game out there. i swear people say they want different games but they really just want the same game over and over again.

doesnt even make sense to be an engineer (not even a soldier) on a ship that was taken over by f-ed up aliens and be a bad ass. defeats the whole purpose

I can pick up the first dead space on the 360 for about $15 shipped... so i\'ll probably do that after Christmas. So many games I need to catch up on since I\'ve missed so much not having a console.

I can see me buying TONS of used games... should keep me busy for a good while :thumb:

Last December, Electronic Arts revealed that internal studio Visceral Games was underway with a sequel to the acclaimed survival horror title Dead Space. Then, the publisher said that series hero Isaac Clarke would prove more aggressive and that the sequel would also include a new online mode.

Speaking to IGN, senior vice president and head of Visceral Games, Nick Earl, offered a few more details about the anticipated project -- namely, that action and polish are at the forefront of the sequel. Earl even compared the effort with two non-EA franchises known for their undiluted intensity.

"I can tell you that we\'re a little more focused on action horror as opposed to survival horror. We just created a really beautiful sequence that we\'re showing internally -- we haven\'t showed it externally yet, but we will get it out there soon -- that I think speaks to the high voltage nature of the game," he said. "Some really strong action sequences that I think are on par with the level that we\'re seeing in the Modern Warfare series and with the level that we\'re seeing in Uncharted. Just beautiful, visual imagery and very electric action."

He also said that Dead Space 2 will see further polish, "... which is saying a lot since Dead Space was so highly rated."

While he wouldn\'t yet talk about any more specifics, he did say that the experience would prove "jaw-dropping in terms of scale and scope."

"I feel very confident about where Dead Space is. I can tell you that we\'re not resting on our laurels. We\'re going very, very aggressively to take it to the next level," said Earl.
