"Publishers seem to be taking many paths to adapting HD properties to the Wii. Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop was an attempt at a straight port which has so far resulted with limited critical success. Overlord: Dark Legend on the other hand is a new game that retains the core gameplay of the original while making the most of the Wii's controls. Unsurprisingly it is one of the more anticipated releases on the console. So is EA's morphing of Dead Space Extraction into an on-rails shooter really the best way the IP could have been adapted to the Wii?"

So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.
Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.
I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.
There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.
The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.
"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"
What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.
How can you say this.
"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."
And then say this in the very next paragraph.
"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."
I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
Although their points are valid, some i think they overlooked
They overlooking how the game will have multiple paths and even the devs themselves said that there were alot of things in the original they wished they could've put in there.
The devs also said how they thought a 3rd person perspective limited the amount and power fo the scares in the original which is why they went on-rail in the first place that way they could control the scares alittle better.
Well if you liked the first Dead Space then yes but if you didn't I guess not.
Though I did like how they did a yes and no sort of thing :)
I loved the first dead space, no question this one is going to be a blast on the wii
Yep, looks good to me.
I'm gutted it's an on rails shooter, as much as I enjoy the occasional on rails shooter I would of much preferred a dead space game with just not as good graphics.
Resident Evil 4 on wii was amazing, and it looks like Resident Evil 5 won't quite reach the same high standard of gameplay set by resident evil 4! despite it being on a more powerful system, so I don't believe all this nonsense that the wii doesn't have the power to make a good Dead Space game, fair enough the game won't be as pretty, but there's no reason it couldn't be a better game in every other aspect.
An On Rails shooter to me seems like a cop out on the developers behalf.
