Dead Space Trailer

Another new trailer from Dead Space shows off more of the upcoming science fiction horror game. This "lullaby" trailer was not given ESRB approval for North America, so North Americans should hide their eyes while watching, or something like that. The clip is posted on Gametrailers, though it may be slow in loading, as the site seems to be having troubles, perhaps related to E3 media.

Is this game for consoles only or is it across the board?

Ah, good old Wikipedia. It's going to be out for PC also. Nice.

Give me a scripted experience in a shooter any day over a some lousy sandbox "so-called" AI.

Need any proof? Half-Life anyone? Half-Life 2? AvP2?

Need I say more? If I hear any more about the greatness of "sandbox" shooters Im gonna puke. Most of the important sequences are scripted in those games as well anyway.

I have high hopes for Dead Space. But then I really love SF, and SF horror themes.

I have a nifty blue line!

After watching a few videos of the game (E3 08's included) the combat looked horrible and highly scripted (one shot experience).

I recently was turned onto a Post Apocalyptic Comic called Wasteland. And after reading the Book One collection (Issues 1 to 6, I think) I read the stand alone comic issue 7. Inside was a back story called Walking the Dust. I was a bit let down that WtD was not in the collection. So I read the version available on their website. Then sent an e-mail to inquirer about their cycle and when I would be able to catch up on the back story.

To my surprised the author himself, a very nice British gentleman, named Antony Johnston responded to my inquiry. We corresponded a few times and I asked him if he had done anything else in a PA setting. He turned me onto Dead Space a Sci-Fi Horror story (which is the next best thing). The comic is a prequel story to the video game of the same name which he also wrote for EA earlier this year.

If the story in Dead Space the game is as great as Wasteland & Dead Space the comic I'm thinking the game should do fairly well. I have yet to see the game-play but for him I hope the studio held up their side of it all. Screens looked promising.

If you're at all interested in Wasteland the comic or Dead Space the comic they are both widely available in NA and the UK. Plus Oni has a nice site for Wasteland: http://www.onipress.com/thebigwet/ where you can read/download the first issue and also read Walking the Dust stories that were published in issues 1 through 8.

Here's Antony's site if you're interested. http://antonyjohnston.com/ He's a great person and a great talent. One of his books should be appearing in film version soon. I'll leave it at that.

I feel like I am going against every moral fiber when I say I look forward to something from EA.
