New Dead Space 2 Trailer Is A Knockout

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "This trailer shows some of the game play that was demoed at E3 and at the EA Holiday event in NY. Nothing compares to seeing and hearing this game in all it’s glory on your LCD. It has some of the best sound design I’ve ever heard in a game. The work these guys did rivals some of the best sound design teams in Hollywood."

looks awesome, cant wait when this comes out, and dead space extraction to chop some of those things up with the move! ;)

MariaHelFutura5784d ago

I`ve already seen this, this is on the PSstore in the e3 section if I`m not mistaken.

Well, it looks like EA has ruined another franchise. The original developers are working for Activision now, you can tell. They've taken everything that made the original game special, scary atmosphere and environments and turned it into TPS action game in space. No wonder they are throwing in extraction for free. The graphics look like they've taken a step backwards. Here's a couple of trailers from the " REAL " Dead Space...RIP.

AGAIN...play the games, know the truth. This should be called Indiana Drake-lost in space.

BTW...the gentlemen that made the first Dead Space masterpiece are making a new COD game...that should be interesting...out in 2011.

Cez. Read my post below. I hope you are wrong, but I kind of agree with you.

So glad they gave him a voice and a face. Character driven story is the way to go.

Perjoss5784d ago

Personally, I loved to Gordon Freeman approach better, but this will not stop me checking it out.

Rich16315784d ago

I love Half-Life just as much as the next guy but I can't stand it when the character you are playing doesn't talk. It is just stupid, IMO.

Perjoss5784d ago

you are supposed to be playing the role of Gordon Freeman, if they gave him a voice it would not sound like you therefore breaking the illusion that you are Gordon Freeman. Same goes for Master Chief, he speaks but they kept his voice quite neutral and lacking any emotion.

Rich16315784d ago

Yeah, I figured that is what Valve was going for but I like my characters to have personality which allows me to connect to them more. To each their own though, neither of us is right or wrong.

Venatus-Deus5784d ago (Edited 5784d ago )

The first game created atmosphere because you imparted yourself onto the non speaking character. The effect was that other characters were then talking directly at you (the player) and you were alone trying to escape the ship.

The formula was a success because it made you feel as if it was you walking down the corridors and not a character and that helped with the overall emersion. It helped make you jump and to care what was around the corner. That’s why some people didn’t find DS scary. They couldn’t make that personal jump and the relationship between Isaac and the player remained separated. They are now reinforcing that separation.

Survival horror shouldn’t be a story driven game. The survival aspect should instead drive the story forward until its conclusion.

I loved the first. The second will be different, but I hope it will be just as good.

NYC_Gamer5784d ago

i'm really hyped for dead space 2 :)

PS360WII5784d ago

That is a great trailer. So fighting for his mind rather than just his life this time ;)

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee85d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein119d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator119d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1119d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw119d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
