Visceral Teases "BIG Reveal" For Dead Space Sequel
See Full ImageIf there's one game survival/horror fans are waiting on, it's Dead Space 2.
And although we're expecting a lot more details to arrive at E3, it seems developer Visceral plans to treat us to a "BIG reveal" tomorrow. This information comes courtesy of the game's official Twitter page: "Stay tuned tomorrow, we'll be posting a BIG reveal and our fans and followers will be the first to see it!" Okay, so that implies the reveal may hit that Twitter page first, or perhaps they've got a members newsletter floating around of which we're currently unaware. All we have of this hotly anticipated sequel so far is the following debut trailer, with a few helpful notes from GameTrailers:
So who's hyped for this one? I admit that Resident Evil 5 was fun, but Dead Space really opened up a new pathway for this niche genre, so the expectations for the follow-up are sky-high. And if you're concerned about the faster, more aggressive gameplay, Visceral has already clarified that they won't sacrifice any creepiness or tenseness for the sake of...um...speedy death.

I am very hyped over Dead Space 2, and that video almost makes me want to go play Dead Space 1 again!

I'm still a little concerned. I thought the game was perfect and I'd be happy with just a change of scenery. Having said that, they've made the only multiplat to have maintained a Space in my collection, so I'll trust them.

It mixed together, amazingly: a great intriguing story, actual sci-fi weapon technology like the plasma cutter (which in my opinion is the most bad-ass gun in the game), dual shooting modes, awesome and addictive gameplay, a truly creepy atmosphere, diverse situations throughout (although this is where I fill they can expand on in the sequel), a solid voice cast, cool boss fights (although they weren't the most challenging bosses but I'm not complaining), and personally I felt like I was planted in the universe and into Isaac's shoes.
I truly felt engaged in this game, in the world, on the spaceship, with some alien creature infecting, spreading, and killing. When I look back to my first playthrough, I remember jumping a lot. Now GIVEN of course I have a decent 5.1 stereo system and an HD television. It takes a lot to horrify me...I'm no pansy but Dead Space really did a number on my horror resistant mental barrier. It didn't break it down but it caused it to crumble. If DS2 is as good as the first as I'm sure it will be with the higher emphasis on Isaac's psychological status, I'm pretty sure it'll get me jumbled up just as much.

I take it the weapons are gonna change this time around, no more mining tools. I think Isaac will be a little bit more prepared than he was for his first encounter with necromorphs.

i certainly hope not because well dead space was not exactly scary, so any deduction no matter how minor would be very disappointing.
who do i have to kill to get a game have me cowering in the corner with the lights on?
honestly the last game i could call remotely scary is doom 3 and that was released what 5 years ago!!
the last game i could truly call scary, i mean really scary was the suffering.
not only was that tense, and had allot of BOO! moments, it also had a psychological effect that really played with your head.
come on people its not like im hard to scare, i cant watch horror movies for peeks sake!
if any horror movie can scare the sh*t out of me, than surely someone can come up with a game to do the same thing.
fear was good, not great.
scary but not as scary as i would like, it was really cool though i loved the flashbacks.
especially the one where your walking to a door and can hear a baby crying, than you turn around the room starts filling with blood than alma appears.
god i CAN NOT WAIT! till fear 3 comes out!!!
hopefully it will be a return to the original, not that crap they call fear 2.
wonder what monolith are working on now?
id love to see a new condemned 3 be announced at E3, i loved condemned 2 such a cool game!!!!

I did not buy the first Dead Space as horror is not my thing, but if a DS2 came out and proved worthwhile I would be glad to have it as the first of this type in my collection.

EDIT: Dead Space blew RE5 out of the water. EA and Visceral really surprised a lot of people with Dead Space and breathed new life into the survival horror genre. I just hope with their new focus on action, they don't turn this into another RE5.
