Dead Space: Extraction

[unemployed]

Easy to get lost? The game had a button that made Isaac not only turn in the right direction, but light up the path the next goal
Know what you mean about the gravity stuff, though. Surround sound helps a lot at making you more aware of your surroundings in that case (such as that stupid gravity basketball game... the noise the ball makes makes it very easy to track if you've got a proper surround sound system)

i dont remember a basketball game...but i have to go back and play it again on the hardest difficulty (w/ the stasis cheat of course ) i thought it was a great game and it scared the crap out of me, didnt know it could look pretty good on the wii

[missvalentine]

well, now Dead Space is on Wii, i have to buy one, three games (RE:UC, DS:E and FF4) is enough reason to justify buying a Wii right?

ahahahahahahahah !!

way to fucking kill away any respect people had for the awesome dead space.

Way to kill any respect I had for you.

I'm interested in where they take this. I wonder who you'll play as though.

[A-J]

^ well, for starters its a prequel, we've already covered the prequel in an animated movie and a comic series, how far could they stretch that :s

and seriously james, an on rail shooter .. on the wii .. ? a port of the original done right would have been better.

and on top of everything the game is being made by Eurocom .. their resume doesn't exactly yell quality.

A port of the original? So you can play the same shit over and over again? Oh! AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SAY "Hey, THE HIGH DEF VISUALS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THIS".

DIMP's resume didn't yell quality either, neither did NexTech's and they both produced some might fine games for Capcom too.

It makes me wonder if this game was announced for somethign else that it'd get a little more positive of a reception.

probably not, as yahtzee best describes it, the rail shooter is a genre of the yester-year, it doesn't belong on modern consoles.

[James]

Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead Overkill are two really fun games to play that are both on-rails shooters. Yahtzee's opinions and/or views are just that.

[A-J]

as are mine :p

i really feel they're going to ruin what can be a good franchise with this game.

[James]

Yeah, the franchise will be completely ruined and another title will never see the light of day. Moron

[Carnivol]

Don't kill eachother now, guys!

There'll be plenty of other stuff to kill when this game comes out! (At least for those of us who'll try to stay positive, yet somewhat skeptic, about this title. As we might at least be giving it a fair chance.)

[Darkmoon]

I'm trying hard to look for positives. I love Dead Space, own the movie and comics along with the game, but this is really pushing it for me. I'm not a huge fan of rail shooters but if there is one place they belong it is the Wii. The nunchuck does make them fun to play, as Overkill has proven. So I'm trying to get over my initial disapointment of that.

But I can't help but have a bad feeling about this being a prequel even now. Aegis VII is somewhere I've seen a lot of, and a second game set there...I really don't see how it's gonna be done, storywise, without shitting on the fans who bought there movie and comics. Because we're either gonna get a story we already know with an ending we can already guess or we're gonna see the comics and movie be, well, wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong.

I hope I'm wrong and there's still plenty to explore here, but I don't see what and I don't see how.

[Scott Green]

You see a lot of the colony in the comics, and a fair whack in the movie. There is not a whole lot left of that story to cover...especially given that
Spoiler:

show spoiler

No one got off the fucking colony alive and so you know the woman's dead before you insert the damned disc.

My thought completely...

Rails, goddamn you have an awesome console with motion control controllers and what do we get? Rail-Gun shooters
Why did I actually buy the Wii? Oh right UC, damnit

As for Dead Space, loved the presentation, controls, atmosphere of the game. Everything was spot on with the game. I even go back to play the game now after I already have all the achievments... Impossible wasn't really that hard...without the stasis-cheat....

Give that game rails now that would kill the controls completely, takes a lot away from the atmosphere (enemies suddenly appearing behind you, etc.), and the presentation, aside from shooting, action, etc., always lacks in rail-gun shooters for me. Besides if it takes place on the colony there is no reason to play it at all since this plot has been covered in the animated comics already. So it's a 'cool, but no thanks' case for me

now now james, opinions are like assholes, everyone has them. No need to get butt hurt over it

This really wasn't needed.

Not good... What else can I say.
