Its official, the rumors were true. A Dead Space game is indeed coming too the wii here is a trailer and information:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/18/ea-announces-dead-space-extraction-for-wii-coming-this-fall/
Now from what I have seen and read, the good news is that it looks pretty good for a wii game. The monsters as well look like the ones from the 360 version and the lighting is great. Its great to see a good looking wii game in motion every once and a while, it really pushes the limit of what the console can do. Bad news, however is the fact that it will be a rail shooter. Now even though that is not bad news for most people, Dead Space was a survival/horror shooter along the lines of Resident Evil 4. Yeah those games had rail shooters too, but practically all of them(except Umbrella Chronicles) were shit. I just don't see how Dead Space can be a rail shooter, even though EA said they were going to put many interesting factors in the game(no doubt the strategic limb removing will still be there). Still, even though I cannot trust it, I will keep an eye on this one.

I don't understand why they keep pushing on-rails shooters. Keep them in the arcade!

You do realize that the arcade is almost totally extinct right? If it's as good as some of the other shooters I've played on the Wii, this could turn out really good.

I was annoyed that it was going to be Wii only since I don't have one nor the money to buy one right now and I love Dead space. I now know that it is on rails... and now I couldn't give 2 shits about it.

Touché.

So it seems either way is a lose-lose. I guess we just have to wait for Nintendo to release the next in their franchises.

for once i actually agree with steel on something. the two biggest highlights of dead space for me were the survival horror elements (for the first half anyway) and the total immersion of the game. this looks like a really cheap typical bullshit EA cash in on a franchise, and seems to have barely anything at all in common with dead space. the immersion is completely gone and i hear this has co-op as well which, combined with it being a rails shooter, means there won't be any survival horror whatsoever.

i have absolutely zero hope for this being a good game in any way.

They must be scraping the bottom of the barrel if they started cashing in on something that isn't even 2-3 solid games. I mean Resident Evil has like 12 games under it's belt, while Dead Space has 1 (soon to be 2) and I just don't see Dead Space being a gorilla.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Yeah, I don't trust this project at all. EA seems to be doing this with all of it's good franchises today, even(admittedly) battlefield. Don't make Bad Company 2 EA/DICE, make Battlefield 3 already!

i get the feeling this is a really good post but i don't know what it means!

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
