Breaking: Dead Space: Extraction will require the use of a controller.
Earlier this afternoon we were shocked by a trailer Electronic Arts sent around to the media. The scandalous trailer (available below the fold) clearly shows two Visceral Games employees using the Wii remote and nunchuck attachment to solve puzzles cooperatively and dismember anorexic aliens in the Wii-exclusive title. The two staffers even go so far as to explain how to play the game. Whoa.
We haven’t contacted Electronic Arts about the content in the video and certainly have not asked what the publisher was thinking when choosing to add controller support. To be frank, we’re just kidding about controller thing and asking about it jokingly be a really easy way to make EA and Visceral Games think we’re retards.
[Update: Talk about clumsy. Wii remote, confirmed.]
You don't need the nunchuck for umbrella chronicles but using it makes reloading easier since you shake it rather than the wiimote, so you don't have to mess up your aim every time you reload.
The Nunchuck also allows you to alter your camera angle by a few feet on either side in Umbrella Chronicles, which sometimes helps for zombies in your periphery.
It looks like this game is shaping up nicely. The puzzles and environmental things like blocking that pathway with the rivet gun look interesting.
I'm not entirely sure if I am sold on this yet but it is definitely looking tempting.
