Looks great .. good setting. coming off of a decent game. Too bad I will never buy it.
Ok any devs that may be looking at NEOGAF today. repeat this sentence a 150 times.
PUTTING A GAME ON Wii DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO GIMP IT!
and now they are going to wonder why it only sells 200k

If that was the alternative, I'll take the on rail shooter. I do have two zappers and a perfect shot now, I'll just turn my house into an arcade, lol.
Oh and there are other consoles, where Dead Space is in HD and already out, so no need to be angry. Let's be happy more games of good quality are coming, shall we?

I think I am the only person who is really happy that this is on rails.
Honestly, this looks pretty sweet.

I know.
I fucking know.
edit: Though a focus on atmosphereic and psychological scare with some "Fear-like" scares on the side would be my best bet. Something akin to System Shock.
I swear this generation is going to end, and this will be yet another Nitnendo console we move on from with a shit load of potential untapped.
Like the one other dude said jokingly, at least this may fund DS2
Hopefully by then someone finds a way to hack the 360 to allow wiimote controls on it.
You probably already can play it with wiimote on PC.

Ok, whilst I agree that the Wii is ideal for on-rails shooters I do disagree with EA using an existing title, slapping a prequel on it and creating the most simple interface they could with the Wii possible.
What are they trying to achieve? Casual-gamer appeal? Good luck with that because 90% of the purchasers of this title are most likely gamers who are already aware of DS on the other 2 platforms.
So I ask you EA, why not just keep the same gameplay and continue with the prequel - what more do you stand to gain going for a more simple genre? I really don't see any gain apart from pissing people off, the Wii is starved of big action/adventures, would it not be better to cater to a starved audience...?

The Wii owners are just celebrating the house of the dead Overkill as their new hardcore blockbuster...
And many people liked Umbrella Chronicles when it came out..
I dont think we should dismiss the game because its on rails..
Of course i would have loved a RE4 Wii edition - esque game.. but i dont think that the game will be ruined by its genre alone

Jocchan said:I hope the game allows some sort of dual wielding.
Lynch him!
Hopefully with dual guns that shoot needle like projectiles that stick to enemies and then explode. I bet everyone would start using it as a de facto term for dual wielding cause its so cool.

No I'm happy too, I doubt that the atmosphere could be replicated on the Wii unless it was more controlled, and on rails. Plus it lets the game look many times better then it would otherwise.
Like others i'm glad they didn't do a terrible port like Dead Rising.

Like I said, I'm probably buying this. I just was expecting a nice beefy adventure game for the Wii. Hopefully when Fall comes around MadWorld and the Conduit will have satiated those desires so I can actively look forward to this game. It's just right now, I can't really get a rise out of another rail shooter.
there will be more and better games to occupy my time than some pissant railshooter based on a game that has more substantial gameplay. yeah, the game look fine, but fuck me if they expect me to be excited over this. i'm just pissed another interesting looking game fell through in terms of content because some developer thought it would be "more appropriate" for the Wii audience.KGKK said:

There's nothing wrong with on-rail shooters when the game SHOULD be designed on-rails. Examples of this are Ghost Squad and HOTD. Even though RE:UC turned out well, I don't think it should have been on rails, and Dead Space surely shouldn't. I just finished chapter 6 of Dead Space on the PC last night and I'm looking forward to the second half of the game here, and when I found out about Dead Space Wii being a whole new game (prequel) I got incredibly excited only to be shot out of the sky, tumbling to the ground and splatting harder than those fat aliens. EA, seriously? An on-rails shooter for one of your best original IPs? Such a shame.
Oh and the graphics are mind blowing. THIS IS WHAT WII CAN DO! GET IT IN YOUR HEAD DEVS!

Right which is why Dead SPace was quite tame. The enemies screaming at you before attacking certainly helped kill the atmosphere as well.
Also play System Shock, the sewer section in STALKER and the OCean Hotel in VtM: Bloodlines to see effective FP scares.
I can see why people would be disappointed that it is not a 3rd or 1st person shooter and everyone know the Wii needs more of both of those. And EA really should have given something to one of those types of games.
But for me this game just went from a "maybe" to a "buy". I adore light gun shooters and this one looks like it could be really fun.

On one hand, I like rail shooters. On the other hand, I really didn't want this to be a rail shooter.
It's like RE:UC all over again.
Also, Eurocom is ewwwwwww gross.

Ah..figured there would be a catch.
Cool that's it's more or less a lightgun shooter. Shame it'll probably turn out like RE:UC..yech.

I think this will sell fairly well and a good amount of people will enjoy it. But Nintendo, could you please start capitalizing on your leadership position in a software manner? Where is a game of Resident Evil 4 type quality for the Wii? We got it for GameCube, what's the problem?

Haunted said:Eurocom's track record is pretty awful, although half of those games are just port jobs. Graphics in the trailer looked good.
True, which is why I edited my post to include RE: UC.
edit: and when exactly did GAF start hating lightgun shooters?
Ever since FPS games reached mass popularity.

At work so I cant watch the trailer yet...but damn @ on-rails

On-rails shooters don't strike me as the best genre for developing an immersive, unsettling atmosphere. Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off, they will have to put a lot of work into the small details like the ability to turn the reticule off and the motion of the character.
