Even as a Wii-only owner, I think this game just looks ugly. From the very noticeable dithering to the low-res texturing, DSC really puts this to shame. And really, it just gets more pathetic every time they try to say this is a "real" dead space game. Just reeks of desperation for acceptance of a spin-off.

Considering this game seems fun and DSC seems to be another boring UC, whatever.happyfunball said:

The game looks pretty cool, but they really should have done themselves a favor and avoided showing the humans so much. The character models for them are weak, especially that woman who seems to pop up in every clip. Her visual design is atrocious in both concept and execution. It feels like something shoehorned in to remind you it's for the Wii or something. Why construct such a compelling universe then keep breaking the illusion with the awful looking protagonists? The helmet in the first game was badass. More of that please. The difference between the cover art for Dead Space and Extraction says it all.

looking goodEmCeeGramr said:
i'm not really feeling this game. it looks like the dead space version of umbrella chronicles
i dont really want to see any more low budget, simplified, outsourced, genre hopping spinoffs of good games from EA
when it comes to wii, i'd love to see what one of their good internal teams could do. maybe a new ip or a game in an existing franchise that hasn't been bastardised in any way

I dunno, seems like a prequel to me. And I say this as a big fan of Dead Space.
Then again I didn't think RE4 was a "spin-off" just because they changed things up.

Every video I actually watch of this is giving me higher and higher hopes for it. I'll definitely be checking this out one way or another. Especially seeing how it will actually answer some questions from the originals storyline.
AniHawk said:
ehh
they seem very similar. they both seem very slow paced and have large distracting cursors. dead space seems to be nicking some stuff off house of the dead too like shaking the gun and choosing your path
it sounds like an outsourced, low budget piece of "lore" (like the cartoon and comics) at a high budget price. they even said they're trying to make it like a movie (which isn't hard in a lightgun shooter i guess)
i dont really know who they're aiming it at either. dual console owners who want more story from the universe?
Okay, but...Sipowicz said:
a.) Anihawk has tried both games.
b.) It's by the original developer
c.) You have no idea if it's low budget (if you're being comparative, sure, but one's an HD game, and one isn't)
d.) Story-focused light shooters are a pretty new idea as far as the genre goes

The voice acting is terribad, hopefully it's better in the US version or you can at least turn it off.Pennywise83 said:

New dev diary: http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14320036/dead-space/videos/deadspaceextract_trl_bigboss_90209.html
Shows a lot of new areas, a new boss, and some of the psychological stuff.

hey, product placement for ya! though it was probably pretty brilliant. it gives spotlight to the brand and grants mindshare to those who otherwise may not have known anything about it. good move imo.Broadbandito said:
though i'm still not buying this for two reasons, principle (i still refuse to buy UC and DSC, no matter how pretty. i DO need to buy OVERKILL though...) and sheer number of games i'll be buying this winter, from Muramasa to Modern Warfare Wii to Sky Crawlers. i can't even buy games i WANT like Cursed Mountain. i'm actually foregoing my purchase of a motorcycle this semester because i want to get rid of my credit card debt and use the rest of my money on a new graphics card and video games.

Game looks awesome. Will be forcing skeptical friend to play through it with me.EmCeeGramr said:
Gamespot uploaded a boss battle video conducted by one of the developers. Smart video ahead :

Looks like a solid fast-paced on-rail shooter with plenty of movements dynamics. Liked a lot what I watched.

this game is much different but, from what I saw, keeps the same atmosphere as the original game. As well, it is much more action-oriented. Otherwise, I don't see many differencies and I can only say that it is shaping to be as good, if not better, than the original game. Trust me I played Dead Space on PC

Not actually that important
AniHawk said:
Yo Ani, do you know if it's possible to get rid of the cursor so to play lightgun-like?
I don't think you can do it in DSC but I fear for Extraction it'll be the same...

Does co-op mode have two actual people or is just two cursors and the game will treat it like one person with two reticules?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I have to wonder, when it comes to Extraction, which decision came first; to develop for the Wii, or to develop a guided experience?
I ask because its pretty clear the developers love their franchise and want to take it down every avenue they can, and I can totally see them wanting to create an interactive controlled environment regardless of what platform, and ultimately deciding to head development on the Wii due to the success of previous rail games on the system.
They didnt necessarily think Lets make a Wii game make it a rail shooter. , but instead Lets make a focused, guided experience lets put it on the Wii.

That's my point. People act like Visceral Games decided to make a Wii game first, and then chose to make it a lightgun game. What I'm saying is they may have wanted to make a more focused, streamlined game from the very begining before deciding what platform. They may have wanted to make a more story based heavily scripted game, and realised that it would be more expensive and possibly unnatractive to consumers on others systems.
Thus, decided on the Wii as the best platform for the game they wanted to develop.
And since when is it outsourced? Eurocom are not heading the development, as far as I'm aware. It's still mostly being developed by Visceral Games, yes?
EatChildren said:
my understanding is that it's being developed by eurocom and there's a few "key members" from EA helping out. whatever that means
and once again i dont think this game would've existed if it weren't for the wii. i'm guessing they saw the success of the wii and they wanted to capitalise on it as cheaply/quickly as possible. hence arcade game made by eurocom
EatChildren said:
EA wanted to put something on Wii so they had someone concoct this spinoff abortion of a game. Anyone who believes that this game came about for any other reason than "hey let's throw something quick and cheap at the Wii" is being incredibly naive.
EA has not changed their view that Wii is for casuals and "real" games go to the HD systems (and I don't expect it ever will).
pakkit said:
No it isn't. It is being done by Eurocom, with help of the team that made the original. Still, outsourced.
It almost proves the point that it is a low/mid budget game; if it wasn`t, they`d let the original studio do it (and would outsource Dante`s Inferno instead). Which again talks about the quality if the game too: if Eurocom is so capable, why not letting them handle the new IP while the team that created the Dead Space franchise makes this Dead Space game?
The game wasn't just invented after the original Dead Space was released, which seems to be the belief of some. This game's been in development since early '08, well before EA had any idea how the first would perform, so the notion that EA thought they would cash-in with a quick turnaround or whatever is kinda unfounded considering the first game disappointed them with its initial sales.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
What frickin difference does it make?
If the game is good, it's good. Buy it, enjoy it. If it isnt good, move on with your gaming: there's plenty out there.
Speculating on the philosophy behind greenlighting a title? Does this really sway you're enjoyment of it? Save it for the 'this is another test' thread.
