Dead Space 2 in Preproduction

A LinkedIn help wanted ad from Visceral Games (spotted by superannuation, who else?) reveals that Dead Space 2 is in preproduction:

The previous installment in the Dead Space franchise received numerous awards for gameplay, visuals, and sound design, and the same core team is in place to create an even better follow up.

The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place. We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions. The Games Label at EA is 100% committed to this IP, and has already worked on IP extensions such as comic, animated features, and action figures.

Used D3DOverrider to lock the framerate at 60 with V-sync. Bit of a hoop to jump through, but once that was done, the game was damn near perfect, certainly superior to the console versions running it at 30fps.

I never did experience the "lag" half the people here seemed to bitch about at release, either on the controller or mouse/keyboard, with or without V-sync.

Definitely a stand-out title; everything good about Resident Evil 4/5 turned up to eleven, with plenty of refinements added to the formula (like some actual horror. And walking while aiming, which, while not at all realistic for shooting with perfect accuracy, is really a must-have gaming mechanic.)
