I would definitely like more variety in the environment, more ways to dismember, and for the pulse rifle not to suck.

Traps. You could lay down like a plasma pad or some weird shit like that and lure necromorphs into it. I don't know.

;_; so good

Ugh, please no co-op. RE5 was basically ruined by it. What I would really like would be more "dynamic" enemies, if that makes sense. When I originally heard of Dead Space I thought every enemy would be able to regrow limbs at will and basically mutate as the fight goes on. So you shoot off a leg, it grows 2 more there, shoot off an arm, grows a big tentacle with claws, etc. Things like that would be awesome. It'd also be good to have random enemies spawning and moving around too.

@ black. The pulse rifle was supposed to suck. It's not a cutting tool.

I played the first one and it was pretty much cool. I'm looking foward to play the Wii one too.

The PC Version was gimped, hopefully that isn't the case with number 2.

@Insomniac
Remember how incredibly hard it was on Professional, and incredible fun RE:5 became because of co-op?

fixed

Still need to play the first one. Valkyria Chronicles is next on my "buy list" though....if I ever see the game in stores T_T

Dead Space needed more boss battles and way more clever puzzles.

Watch them ruin it with multiplayer.

Come to think of it, I'd like to see way more Zero-G environments. Those were the best parts of the first game, but there were way too few of them.

i want character development, and more characters introduced into the story line so i can be shocked and disturbed when they're murdered off.

How many people here were genuinely surprised by this?

No shockingly awful DLC please! Or is that asking too much?

Updated zero-g would be a plus. Instead of just barreling towards a wall, you should be able to shoot at enemies and maybe change direction with some kind of thruster boots. Mmmm, thruster boots. And random enemy spawns would be a great improvement; knowing where every creepy-crawley is going to pop out got old. Still, this is going to be a first day buy for me.

@Zipppyduda - Do yourself a favor and DROP everything else and play Dead Space.

Even though I haven't played it since I've beaten it, Dead Space is one of my favorite PS3 games and the best survival horror title I've ever played. Stale environments? Never noticed them, too busy kill necromorphs and getting the crap scared out of me by the amazing audio production that went into this game. Pulse rifle sucked? Didn't mind since I nearly maxed out my plasma cutter. Thin story development? I could barely follow the plot between Downfall and the events in the game. Light character development? In that situation I wouldn't imagine you'd have much time to chit chat while running for your life (you are fucked and help is not coming).

So for all the things that may have been inadequate for some, I found a lot more in the experience of actively playing the game that more than made up for it.

What could be better? Everyone griped about the weapons so how about some real ones--of course you can't change that without changing the context of the story/game so maybe the story is set after a military ship like the Valhalla tried to tie the whole debacle off. I agree, set it planetside and you may get more environments out of that--but the claustrophobia is part of what made the game so freaking scary. Definitely more enemies that behave but don't give me another necro with 4 arms that behaves like every other four-armed necro.

Yeah, I like Dead Space--so yeah, I'll be getting DS2 as well as Extraction on the Wii.

I really like Dead Space, but it had some flaws. Namely, I felt like the story did not live up to the one built in the comics and the website. There were glimpses of a great story, but they did not really pursue the narrative of the Ishimura, her crew, and the Marker enough. There was no real characterization of anyone, and all you did was fetch quests and ship maintenance. Its like they took System Shock 2 and removed most of the audio logs and story.

Also there were way too few interesting enemy types considering the Necromorphs were supposed to be just randomly mutated humans.

Still loved it though!
