Dead Space 2 on January 25

EA announces a January 25 release date for Dead Space 2, including the PC as one of the target platforms for the horror-themed shooter sequel, something that was in in doubt as recently as February, though the PC version was mentioned in EA financials, and since. Here's word on the game:

In Dead Space 2, engineer Isaac Clarke makes his return in a blood-curdling new adventure on an all-new space installation known as “The Sprawl.” The lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation, Isaac finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling dementia, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate the relentless enemy onslaughts. Equipped with a new arsenal of tools to dismember the necromorphs, Isaac faces the challenge head-on. Players will see Isaac fight bigger, scarier and more epic battles that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

I'm definitely getting this game, although I have concerns about how good it will be in the long run. I saw a brief clip yesterday and it was just going through room after room in a building and the combat seemed a bit generic (lots of monsters one at a time with lots of ammo.)

I think the first game really nailed it with being confined to a mining ship and I was always keeping an eye on my ammo, adding another level of tension to the game.

I can only wait and see, but my concern is that I didn't really see anything new and I'm concerned it may be more of a generic shooter now.
Dimentia sounds a bit stupid. I definitely would have taken the story elesehwere.
A "fear" snob; only saving that for System Shock and one or two other games,
