Dead Space controls with a twist, literally

In the newest Nintendo Power, Dead Space Extraction is actually talked about (with exclusive pic) and NintendoDpad gives us the details of the article and the added twist the controls play in what the devs call strategic dismemberment.

Well that will def. up the difficulty which is nice. Hope they do other unique things with the weapons besides just the Rivet Gun.

good regular aiming would be to easy.

this is a pleasant surprise but im still not buying another rail shooter :`P

[rmedtx888]

I'm sorry but those graphics are way inferior than the original Xbox or PS2...Is this really a next gen console?

[matey]

YES REALLY A NEXT GEN CONSOLE MUCH BETTER THAN U MAKE OUT M8 STILL WRAPPED UP IN XBOX/PS2 ERA CANT LET GO M8 LOOK XBOX CAN PRODUCE 100 MILLION POLYGONS,PS2 50 MILLION POLYGONS,GAMECUBE 75 MILLION POLYGONS,NINTENDO WII 500 MILLION POLYGONS 4 TIMES REDERING POWER THAN XBOX 1,4 TIMES THE TEXTURE FILL RATE,IT GOES ON AND ON WII OUTPERFORMS THEM CONSOLES EASY THIS IS WHY THE GAME WILL LOOK BETTER ON WII

[slak]

this is a joke right???

[matey]

u guys stop trying to go off screens that are low res go to ign for screens of in game and stop the ps2/xbox rubbish the wii is much more powerfull the trailer for this version wipes the floor with the once cancelled xbox original it got cancelled because it wouldnt work on the console plus the dev says clearly the wii version is basically almost 360 graphics wait and see is what i say remember when the trailer landed in IGN office theythiught it was DEAD SPACE 2 FOR PS3 IF IT LOOKED LIKE A PS2 GAME HOW COULD IGN THINK THAT U IDIOTS GROW UP GO AND BUY A WII

[KruLLit]

When did people start to care about the graphics this much?
Well I guess visually content is the only thing that you debate about online.

[Argento-Nox]

Graphics don't supercede gameplay IMO, although, it is a nice addition. The Wii just needs more core games like this for me to consider buying one of my own, until then, I'll just play my cousins/nieces Wii.

>=( i'm still pissed at you EA....STILL AM >=(.

[jtucker78]

Don't be too p1ssed at them. Dead Space is one of the best things to happen to gaming this gen.

If you like horror in any shape or form, then you can't do better.

DS is the best that has been achieved so far.

I'd even contemplate buying my Wii back for this one game.

(I will buy one back anyway but wasn't planning to until the next Zelda / Major Mario title hits.)

[ChickeyCantor]

My problem with EA is that they said they will compete on the same level as Nintendo is now. And they bring a "guided-FPS" game...
I just expected something bigger...

I still call it an on-rail shooter, no matter how EA spins it.

[Product]

I'll have to say though that for a on rails this is actually a good step forward. Rails are usually much to easy for me even on the highest difficulty.
This game will be more like Killer 7 because you'll be able to point where you go but not move yourself which is much better then nothing.
To think Sidar alot of games are actually on rails that alot of us look over because the game is so great.
Examples are:
Killer 7,Sin and Punishment,Starfox 64, some parts in Contra immediately come to mind.

You say EA is gonna stand toe to toe with Nintendo but you know thats all talk.Nintendo first party always has a polish that cant be duplicated.EA was just talking PR to hype themselves.

To me it will be an experience though,yea its on rails but if they can use head turns and stuff of that matter to heighten suspense(which head turning is seen in the trailer) plus multi paths im fine with that its better then getting another arcade light gun game imo.

[ChickeyCantor]

I have a grudge against EA simply because i expected something bigger, and onrails won't do it for me when it comes to "shooter" of course arcade games are always great. However if you go back and realise what actually "makes" dead space a game, -onrail- isn't the thing you would expect.
Startfox in your example has always been onrails so i don't expect differently(GCN had 2 different starfox games i don't mind that, because it took the original concept and a new one(the adventure game). And yes maybe there were some starfox games taking a slightly different direction, but going from freemovement to onrails is more limiting than actually expanding)

I'm dissapointed because of the fact that Xbox1 already had some stuff running and we get this...

I'm not mad because its for the Wii and Onrails makes a perfect fit(although i don't agree fully on that), I'm mad for the fact that they could do MUCH better and you know it.

[Product]

ill agree with you i do think they could have done a better job with picking something different then on rails, no doubt about that. I do however think its cool that we are atleast getting a exclusive Dead Space game in the series.

Although like i said ill agree that i really wish it had been a TPS instead of rails but i can see why they did it . What im hoping for now is that they do try to give us an "experience" as they say because as much as i like arcade shooters this game shouldn't be in the style of an arcade shooter.......they better make it serious and i better not think im getting out alive lol i mean the first had that feeling to it.

[TriforceLightning]

While most gamers have scratched this one off due to gameplay preferences, I support EA in their decision to capitalize on the Wii sucess in the right direction.This game has quality written all over it and those who are still jaded should save their opinions until they have actually played the game.EA has my vote for best overall support of the Wii as a 3rd party this year.Good games Wii has and more are on their way this year.

[AKNAA]

After Dead space, I can honestly say that EA has improved big time! they are definitely putting much more effort in their games than they use too.
Next on my list C&C:red alert 3 ultimate Ed, Dante's Inferno and now that they made this Dead space prequel for the wii, I might have to consider buying the system now!

[Product]

Tell me it wouldnt be awesome if Motion + was used .....and you could see your hand FPS style in real time with your hand.........like you could put your hand down and the character on the screen would to when you go to shoot he thrust his hand back up and you could use the twisting motion all in real time, i think that could heighten the suspense of this game.

[nintendohomie]

see that would be cool but they didnt do that sooooo.......no buy

[addnewman]

when they first announced it was on rails, my first idea was(after me being pissed off it wouldnt be a TPS) was the idea you just suggested now it would suit so well especially if you could see the hand holding the gun with the lazer pointers turning them using motion+ in real time to dismember any angle

[djslapdash]

They are telling me that this game has new gameplay features. How can you call a gameplay feature new when the exact same principals was used in 2007 games.

Its like using Resident Evil 4 controls in a Resident Evil 5 game. Less stagnation and more innovation please.
