Just a week ago, we brought you news that Electronic Arts' survival horror title Dead Space had its released pushed forward. Today we have more even better news: the release date has been pushed up again, this time from October 24 to October 14 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will ship on October 20.
We've also been told by Dead Space community manager Andrew Green that the title has been completely banned from the following countries: Germany, Japan, and China. That's right, there's just too much survival and way too much horror in Dead Space for these countries to handle. No word on whether EA has any plans to alter the game for a future release in those territories.
I haven't had a chance to go hands-on with Dead Space (woe is me!), but everyone I've spoken with who has only had good things to say about it. Who else is looking forward to donning the trash can-like helmet and killing some monsters?

Yeah I know. Silent Hill and Resident Evil is A Ok
Violent Rape Porn is A-Ok.
Child Porn is A-Ok.
Dead Space? Hell Nooooooo!!!!!!!
The awesomeness of the actual game however, most likely will be crystal clear.
Anyways, I'd have loved to play a demo, if only they hadn't debuted it on the last day at PAX.
I'm guessing this is more about some retarded taboos than any objection to graphic violence.
"Yes, a monster ripping out someone's entrails with its fangs is fine, but shooting a guy's head off? Heavens no!"
That's from the end of June. It looks pretty good to me, but it is a dev walkthrough. And it looks pretty good in the Xbox Live Dev diaries, too. I think they're just getting out from underneath Fallout 3.
EA dated Dead Space in February for Halloween. Bethesda didn't date Fallout until last month. With all the success that sequels have been having in the market, it should only make sense that they're trying to snag them before they get buried in the hype-monster that is Fallout 3.
I hope they're both awesome.
Developers take notE: I want more Resident Evil 4 clones please.
Ok, it's friday morning, I don't feel like working and the boss is sporting a bad attitude. I have all the rights to go nerdy on Dtoid.
Not Japan... China. There is a difference.
I mean a game where you have sex with children is ok, but a game where you shoot space zombies is not
Did EA really tell you guys that?
I'd say its highly likely that EA will have this one be region free anyway (Orange Box was region free on 360). If not german and japanese gamers will just import their copies, as I'm sure EA would rather see sales than let piracy give gamers their fix.
Roll on October, with Fifa 09 and Dead Space, EA are getting a lot of my money.
Why the fuck would we make this shit up.
They pushed the release date up i'm sure because of the fact that it got banned. Yeah, because they didn't have to print sooo many more copies. Thus speeding up the process of release.
That & before anyone else decided to ban it. lol!
Ah ha deduction my dear Watson!
I can see your point, but just awhile back in Canada, some dude got decapitated on a bus, and it\s not banned here.
still, I'm SO pumped for this game, it looks surprisingly good for an EA title.
If D-Toid is pleased, I'll be pleased.
