First Dead Space 2 image shows off Isaac's new armor

TVGB: "As part of a teaser for GameInformer's next issue, one of the places where the game will be revealed, the very first Dead Space 2 image has crept out of the shadows, showing off Isaac's new, pointier looking armor and what looks to be a new necromorph. The new, meaner looking outfit seems to reflect Isaac's new Im'ma-whoop-your-ass approach which EA said the protagonist now sports as they officially announced the game yesterday."

[Delta]

That's some pretty awesome "new" armor. Cant wait to get this.

[Sevir04]

Dead Space totally rocked and this one will be better. and that armor/suit and new necromorph looks amazing as well.

[Admiral_Benson]

Really hyped for this, can't wait!

Dead Space was awesome. I just hope they stick to a similar formula to the original and don't go all balls-out action like Capcom did with Res 5.

"The new, meaner looking outfit seems to reflect Isaac's new Im'ma-whoop-your-ass approach which EA said the protagonist now sports as they officially announced the game yesterday." - That has me just a little worried. The feeling of being totally outnumbered, alone and vulnerable was what made the original great, i just hope EA don't ruin it by going in the opposite direction for the sake of boosting sales.

[DARK WITNESS]

I am not a sales man, just a gamer like everyone else, but seriously, if everyone loves the game, show your support. Buy the game new, if any game deserved the sales for 2008 it was Dead Space.

once i played it i was recommending all my friends to go out and buy it asap.

I really regretted paying full price for FarCry 2, Fallout 3 and Gears 2.. Dead Space was the only game that left me feeling the game was worth every penny I paid on Day one release.

Support the Dev's and the publishers will support them more and invest more in such new IPs.

hope this game is every bit as awesome as the first. again, its one of the few games I actually bought DL content for. The Astronaut suite looked totally AWESOME !

can't wait for this game !

my GOTY.

[solidt12]

Man i feel the need to go back and finish the first one all of a sudden. great game.

[ceedubya9]

Agreed. I actually did just that by downloading the game from Live this past weekend. Same with Mass Effect. I wanted to run through both of those games again, especially before the sequels release.

[miasma]

I am digging the new armor, but I do hope they explain why or how he got it (i.e. he custom made it to deal with this Sh_t). Not just another upgraded suit or some crazy "super -space-marine" armor. That, to me, would develop the character more seeing as he is an engineer.

Oh, and that 'new' necromorph in the picture is his girlfriend :)

[Ace Killa 08]

couple days ago the images of Dead Space 2 was approved and i was intrested in the ame again, so right now im playing 1 or 2 chapters a night. and man even though i passed this game its still scary !!

[TheBlackSmoke]

Definitely buying this day one but im a little unsure about this whole bad-ass butt whoopin version of isaac. What makes DS so good is that your just a regular guy trying to fix the ship so you can escape, all your weapons are mining tools and your armor is actually just the equivalent of space overalls. If it becomes isaac in a batsuit running through left 4 dead in space tearing up everything the survival aspect will be lost.

[HammockGames]

I'm eager to see what they crank out for the higher level suits in DS2.

The Scorpion suit was my personal favorite from the original, although the obsidian and stormtrooper-like suits were pretty bad ass too.

[Saaking]

this game is gonna be great. The first one was amazing, and imo one of the best new IPs this gen.

[jerethdagryphon]

my guess is that custom armor he designed to counter necromorph sharp bits

less holes for clas to snag in and such

still looks good im 3 trophys from platinium on it

:( impossible is not fun

[bruddahmanmatt]

I just hope the game doesn't go all action-adventure on us as Dead Space really filled the void created when Capcom decided that RE5 would be more shooter, less horror. As much as I enjoyed the original RE games, Silent Hill and other similar titles in the past I've never been TOO big a fan of the survival horror genre. Survival horror games were usually rentals for me when I was a kid. Dead Space however, well let's just say that I'd be lying if I said that Dead Space didn't turn me on to something new. The game is simply phenomenal and I still don't know how it's not on some folks shelves when the game can be had for as low as $10 these days. I'm definitely looking forward to DS2 and have come to enjoy the franchise so much that I hope a third person remake of Extraction one day makes the jump to the PS3/360 as a PSN/Live download for fans of the original to enjoy.

[ThanatosDMC]

Day 1 since i liked the first. I had some trophy problems though. I finished it twice without cheating. Heck, i didnt even know there were cheats. Anyway, i stopped getting trophies after chapter 3 or 4.

Yeah, i still kinda want co-op but it's fine if it's single player. If it's co-op, i bet there's still a way to make it creepy and have that survival feel.

[FunAndGun]

The first one was so damn solid and polished, I am really looking forward to this sequel.

[Doc Sony]

I thought he died in the end, at least I assumed it.

But cool, lets hope he talks this time around.

[thief]

Spoiler tags please!

[Fade_Walker]

It's not a spoiler.

[m-s-8-2]

The game came out a year ago. If someone hasn't played it by now they probably won't. There should be a 6 month cap on mandatory spoilers alerts.

[rogimusprime]

using that logic, how would you like to have every movie you haven't seen spoiled just cause you hadn't gotten around to watching it yet?

there is NO statute of limitations on "spoiler".

I don't care if I sat down to watch the godfather III after seeing the first two, and some A-hole yelled "hey, you know he dies at the end right...I mean c'mon this movie is OLD"...he would still get socked.

[Fade_Walker]

Seriously, this is not a spoiler. It shows in the title of the article that he is still alive and he did not mention how the game actually ended.

[redsquad]

Actually, I found the very final scene to be utterly expected - Standard 'horror movie' fare - And I would imagine anyone who plays the game from start to finish would expect it too.

[very normal guy]

not so sure maybe... With the end of the first dead space who know...

[Redlogic]

in excitement! Dead Space has to be one of my all time favorites for this generation. This is a day one purchase, no doubt!

[nnotdead]

completely agree. Dead Space is in my top 5 games this gen.

[bitboi]

cool looking armor! It def' looks anime inspired, especially in the helmet design. Can't wait!

[Pennywise]

I am busy right now. Someone answer me this: Unreal Engine?

[dgroundwater]

No. Dead Space ran on The Godfather Engine. It's OK to be confused lol. Just know that EA re-purposed a completely average engine to make a gorgeous game!

[Pennywise]

Ahh, Thank you +bubb.

It did feel kind of like unreal engine. But they did do good things with that engine. I hope they make it better this time around.

**Deadspace was a good game, the engine felt old though.

[redsquad]

Guess Isacc fought off his zombie girlfriend then!
The brilliant first instalment has me eager to pick this up, multiplayer or not.

[jerethdagryphon]

his girlfriend wasnt there that was a halucination brought on by who knows how long in combat and stress he knew she was dead, but she still helped him in his mind she kept him sane even though she was hiveminded.

its odd but cool

[tristanmike]

I am looking forward to this one. I hope they don't butcher the series.

That is all.

[liquidus118]

"I'mma-whoop-yo-ass" attitude?
Yeah, it's ruined then.

[micro_invader]

Don't count it out just yet. We've yet to see anything from it, aside from this one pic.

[NRG]

Yeah I was kind of thinking that too. Heavy armor and curb stomping aside, there wasn't a whole lot suggesting Isaac had a malevolent personality. He just wants to do his job and find his girlfriend. Of course, getting the armor upgrades did kind of give you this feeling though. I guess that's what EA is trying to expand on.

Last thing I want is to play as another jarhead out for vengeance. Been there, done that.

[Fade_Walker]

I really like the new armor. I hope a Collector's Edition is more available then the fist one (EA store only with limited quantities).

[Stationfan]

Yeah the game was awesome and had a great atmosphere. They really went all out with the monster thingys. Ive read that the artist would watch alot of pictures of deceased people.

To recreate the character models, the game was a gory game i remember having to bash in every dead person face in so the wont eventually turn into a monster.

[hamoor]

NO MULTIPLAYER!!!! JUST FOCUS ON THE SINGLE PLAYER!
what makes me frustrated that some great SP games ruined by the stupid multiplayer i mean BIOSHOCK2 WITH ONLINE??? WTF!!!
if it was exclusive to the ps3 then there is no problem to throw in a decent multiplayer because of the space that the blueray disk can offer but the dvd9 is limited to 7g only and if they put online in the game that well mean short single player

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Nice. Cant wait. And hopefully Isaac is still unable to speak, that way it feels like its you...traped in space....a dead..space.

[kesvalk]

good, the more chars armors resembles Samus power suit... the better, for me at least

i am looking foward to this game...

[J@D]

Getting @ launch. Hope for a collector/limited edition this time around :)

[micro_invader]

Replica plasma cutter? :0

[Silentmerc3nary]

Gold plasma cutter.

[J@D]

or a figurine from a Necro o our little pal Issac :)

[CannonB8]

If you haven't played the original Dead Space in a pitch black room with full Dolby Digital, you haven't lived....

[kurochi]

or you haven't been scared..... @_@

[devilhunterx]

How about some new Vocal Chords as well?

[Jeff257]

That new suit is looking really good. Ive played through the original a lot and it is still one of my fav games this gen. Ill be buying DS2 on day one.

[mdkgod43]

thats not lsaac if u look close its a girl

[eugenewatson]

Have to agree with MDKGOD43, Issac not the lead role this time, that character is all women, look very closely at them it is a female

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

but I was really disappointed by how routine the last game became. Once you first encounted the tenticle arm thing in the hallway... afterwards, you just came to expect the same ole' thing... which lost it's luster when it happens like 2 or 3 more times throughout the game. They over played that concept. Also a little too repetative on the "omg this room is sealed shut, lights and sirens are going off, must defend myself until it unlocks for me" moments. I also wished they actually made the dismemberment part, much more fleshed out... as it just felt I was killing necromorophs rather than needing to target strategic points... I was just blasting till they dropped. Would make for a more tense expierence if it became more important to dismember said limbs!

The shooting gallery and the basketball stuff was a freaking awesome break from the game for sure. The weapons are really sweet as well! same as the suit upgrades!

I actually haven't beat Dead Space yet. I got stuck at the part with the Regenerator where you need to stasis him to slow him, while you teleketicly move the bunkbeds to get out of the room with it!. I remember how hard it was that I just gave up, lol. Im gonna go back though as this DS2 annoucement has got me excited again. Game definatley had some hard as hell moments thats for sure!

[Tyler_XMB]

Looks epic. I just hope there's no multiplayer unless it's something like one player is Isaac and the other is a random necromorph that's trying to kill him.

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Why EA always makes his armor look like a bunch of garbage put together?

[PS360PCROCKS]

Gotta say I have to hand it to EA for finally letting their studios be creative. The first was an awesome game and really freaky edge of your seat fun.

[bunfighterii]

it looks like the 'space suit' DLC from the first one.

[J-Train]

i think it's really good but why doesn't Isaac talk? makes him a little dull.

EA trying to save money on a voice actor?
