I loved the original Dead Space, this almost makes me wish that I didn't sell my Wii.

Dead Space 2 is going to rock! i expect it to drop next year and it will certainly be a contender for GOTY if they just lengthen the campaign. i am on my 4th play through of the first one. it's just such a great new IP. devs did an amazing job.

1.4 - I just traded someone on Craigslist for Deadspace last Sunday.
It's pretty decent.

I traded Battlefield: Bad Company, I wasn't playing it anymore, so, out with the old in with the.......used. heh.

Next game, I'll try and trade for Bioshock.
Anybody wanna trade?
PS3 btw.

1.5 - 500% more dialogue?
Probably 99% less action as well. It'll probably feel like it atleast.

That means that the feeling of solitude, which further adds to the already creepy atmosphere, will be toned down. To me, that is not a good thing.

1.7 - 500%
Maybe Im being picky, but is this a situation where percentage is necessary? How about "5 times more dialog" ?

But it sounds like more.

Example: You can get five times the pay, or, a 500% increase in salary.

In my opinion thats NOT a good thing - id rather they made the game 500% longer

considering there wasn't much dialogue in the first dead space, five times more dialogue probably isn't a whole lot.

something tells me they're wanting to make this into a long term franchise...kinda follows the legacy of resident evil, where it started out cheesy and plotless only to grow into a huge history filled series

it looks better to me joke it looks on par with the 360 version u are a silly boy to even think it looks 500 times worse wake up the wii can do 360 graphics all day if devs take a little more time polishing it it would have looked better than the 360 version sorry m8 its a fact when IGN got the game in the office they thought it was dead space 2 for wii everyone is wrong except u i dont think so grow up badkolo

3.2 - @ Matey
He said 500% worse which means 5 times worse, which grammatically means 1/5 as good graphically. The Wii cannot do 360/PS3 graphics. It just doesn't have the hardware for it. And the original Dead Space started out development on the PS3, not the 360, so stop bashing the 360.

Actually Dead Space was originally planned for the original Xbox but was saved for Next Gen instead.

3.4 - ABHAHHAHA is this a wii fanboy on N4g
thats funny. The wii will never have visuals half as good as dead space on the 360 and PS3. Sorry buddy, you are gonna be playing the crap light gun version while ps3/360 owners will be playing the real game and its sequel.

you are obviously a moron who has never played dead space. If you had you would know the wii cant even come close to those visuals especially while its in 480P standard def. Also a light gun game will never be as good as dead space. Sorry anyone whos played dead space knows the truth, and you seem like a whinny little biatch cause you can play the real version.

Im sure dead space extraction will be good for a SD on rails shooter tho.

3.5 - But who cares....
I mean,
Graphics don't necessarily determine a good or a bad game.

I'm playing Fat Princess, and it reminds me of 32 bit graphics....it's a innovative and fun game.

Poopface the 2nd -- "...while it's in 480P standard def."

You do know that progressive scan is enhanced def, not standard def...right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Wii games certainly can't equal the high def consoles, but they can look good enough to still be visually impressive in their own right (see: Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3).

That said, I'd rather have a slightly better-looking Wii game that plays like Dead Space or RE4 instead of a rail shooter. Just not my favorite genre of games.

they are going for immersion with the characters and story. This could turn out well. Wii Rail Shooters have been really good though, for old school gamers.

I guess it's because there are a lot more characters that you actually interact with in this game. Not that I'll be playing this anyway but the eerie silence when walking through corridors, only to be broken momentarily by allies radioing in or logs you picked up, was awesome.

I enjoyed playing DeadSpace on my PC which looked far better than the console versions. But that won't stop me playing this game because - and this may shock you - it looks like it will be fun to play.

I did play the first one, but for me it was overrated (it was good) :), nice visuals, but for me they aren't in first place.. and I love good rail-shooters so I think it might have a chance to be better than the first one.. can't wait :)
...and joystick's have a noob sticks :D wii control is much better ;)

good, the first one needed more talking. i lose touch with the story sometimes if i'm not constantly talking about something or interacting with people. the only time people talked in dead space was when you get a new objective and stuff which was annoying after a while.

Oh how wonderful, get lost in the dialogue instead of game itself.

Shame that this game is not on PS3/360. I thought Dead Space was a very excellent game and no doubt one of the best games of 2008.

16 - That's alright
from all the previews i've seen they are really innovating in how storys are told in a rail shooter and it is so innovative they want to call it a "guided FPS" last I heard. The fact that they have so much dialogue says to me that someone put alot of heart and soul into the plot for this game so you "Hardcore" kids that say your wii has no good games, should buy this so games with this much effort behind them get some compensation. Or I suppose every one of you will wait for some garbage port that will take place after Wii HD hits shelves.

I'd rather get that prequel now personally rather then being a whiny **tch who can't cope with a franchise getting a good spin off for a system you pretend to hate because you think that makes you cool somehow.
