I'd be happy if they gave us more zero-g/vacuum environments. Now lets hope the marketing for Dead Space 2 isn't as embarrassingly bad as the marketing for Dante's Inferno.
I’m surprised Isaac is the main character again, he already knows how to handle the Necromorphs.
I thought that’s why a lot of horror games always change the character for each entry, so that it’s scary because they’re vulnerable.

@ Handy:
Maybe they'll do something to freshen the experience like maybe give Issac a giant scythe for strategic melee dismemberment.

The first was my surprise of last year, and ended up being one of my go-to games for scares and slaughter for months. The only thing that bested it in the end was Left 4 Dead. I am definitely looking forward to the next one.
After pimping how action packed the game is going to be, and the aggressive stance the main character has taken, I sure hope the game still has you wandering unnervingly quiet corridors, and experiencing the anticipation of combat. I don't want Dead Space 2 to be a re-imagining like RE4 was to RE3. I think the anticipation of combat is what makes or breaks a game in terms of it being of the survival horror genre.
I hope they take what they learned about the sort of forced pacing they dealt with in Extraction and apply it to the sequel.
I can't fucking wait for this.

Wait a second. Wasn't part of the story of the first game that Issac was crazy? Why would he be calling the shots?
I would have kept this game if it had multiplayer. The replay value was kind of non-existent even with all the awesome add-on dlc.
I still need to finish the first game. I picked it up about a month ago on a whim because of the 20 dollar price tag and am only on chapter 3.
So pumped for this game. I still pop the first one in every once in a while for some good dismemberment action.
EA has guts again. Not a perfect track record of late but still the aim of quality, visionary games is a positive sign. Now if only people would buy them...
about 5minutes ago i finished dead space. pretty good game really enjoyed it. maybe the scenery got a little tiresome about 60-70% of the way through, but i would say one of the better games i have played in a while. resident evil just lost its crown
@father33: Really? Multiplayer? REALLY?...*sigh* It's a sad day when a game is judged solely for its inclusion/exclusion of multiplayer...
Dead Space was amazing and it was a gorgeous game to look at so consider DS2 pre-ordered as of right now.
Finally, and nice to see Mr. Clarke alive after all.
@Vice: Agreed, even worse, it's becoming a trend more time/resources/development is spent on multiplayer than the main campaign.

At first I thought that bringing back Isaac Clarke was a stupid decision but then I thought about Ripley from Alien franchise and what they did with her character by bringing her back constantly.
It made her the Alien expert and put her in ridiculous situations.
Then again if Isaac Clarke doesn't talk I don't know how that would work.
BAH

Eh. I'm a little over half-way through the first one right now, and I am not impressed. If this one manages to include more variety and actually manages to scare me, which the first one has almost completely failed to do so far, I might look into it. Otherwise I will probably skip it.
wow PS3 is the lead platform. EA loves them some Sony now. This game has replaced RE IMO in the horror realm.
Day one buy. First game was easily the best horror game of this gen (thus far), and I'm willing to bet this one trumps it.
Really, bloody brilliant game. I'm excited.

"and the PC."
FUCK YES. I was worried.
Loved the original, one of the best games of last year. Can't wait to play this one.

What will be cool now is if you have completed the first game to have you be able to transfer all your weapons, armor, and upgraded ability's over to the new game.
What ruined Dead Space:
1. You got too powerful and lost all sense of danger or fear.
2. The story got old fast and the 'find my girlfriend' sub plot never worked because Isaac never spoke or emoted. He didn't even face people when they talked to him.
3. The sheer number of necromorphs ruined the scare factor, you cant be scared of something you can blow in half with the starting weapon that also looks like a 13 year olds idea of 'scary monster'.
And by the sounds of it they've completely missed all of that and gone with the 'Bioshock 2' route of development; more guns, more player power, more enemies. My hype for this game is officially dead.

I'm definitely going to be buying this. Dead Space was a lot of fun, had it's share of scares and I just liked the way the game handled overall. And to those that didn't like that he did not speak at all, in my opinion I liked him as the quiet protagonist. Because his actions throughout the game spoke very loud. Like how you seem him crawling for dire life from necromorphs, and so on.
!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!
The last boss fight in the game was a little disappointing. If it had a lot more variety in that last fight, it might of finished with a bang. Also, the nicole sub-plot was alright. Also, didn't it seem like Nicole's necromorph killed Issac at the very end? I'm glad he's alive and all, because it bothered me knowing that he overcame all these horrors and giant monsters only to be blindsided at the end with an attempt at a cheap final scare/chiffhanger. But knowing that he IS alive somewhat ruins that scene. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

They've revamped the Dead Space website, too: www.deadspace.ea.com
First pic they have up, in addition to the ink blot, looks intense. Of course, can't see the full pic, but I'm stoked!
Hopefully Antony Johnston and Ben Templesmith are back!

Hell. Yes.
I'm so excited. I loved the first game, definitely my favorite game of 2008. It's what RE5 should have been. I cannot effing wait for this. Maybe this time I'll get to play a harder difficulty with my upgrades and weapons? Please EA?

Officially announced, and I am now officially excited. The first one sacred the piss outta me more than a few times, and while I eventually got a little de-sensitized by the end, the last level was still cool as hell, and the subplot was awesome. Soooo can't wait for this...and the necro-baby creatures still creep my brother out to no end, even just a mention gives him the willies.
damn i still need to play the first one. got it on day1. but never played it because of all the other games that came out that month.
I have a feeling there will be 2 characters in DS2. We play as Isaac and someone else alternatively throughout the game, still, looking forward to it, I liked the first one.
@Chaotic Wolf: I don't think that was a necromorph at the end, that was just Isaac Hallucinating. for one, The screens were filled with those unitologist letters, and secondly the necromorph in question was not distorted in any way. It was as human as he was. So I don't think it could have been the real Nicole, just a hallucination.
SPOILERS!
It would be kind of a silly ending if the Nicole Necromorph was real anyway. Think about it. The guy gets into a shuttle without checking it thoroughly for the very same monsters that have repeatedly been attacking him, then, after he saves the day (sort of) this Nicole-romorph decides NOW that she's going to pop out and attack when she could have attacked Isaac at any time while he was flying TO the planet.
Then we're expected to believe Isaac could be taken down by one Necromorph when he spent the whole game slaughtering them. Pfft, sure, whatever.
