Just the fact that all those places banned it might be a good enough reason for me to now take interest in this game!
I'm getting more and more curious / excited about this game. I like the fact that it's been pushed up so much, stuff like that doesn't happen TOO often.
...Australia isn't in that list? Must be because all the horrible graphical murdering is vaugely justified. Looking forward to this one :D
Awesome, this is my most anticipated game right now. The sooner I can get my hands on it, the better.
I don't get how it's banned in Japan. That place has some scary shit going on, Dead Space fits right in.

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!!!!!!!

Yeah, the Japan ban is confusing. So is the release date being pushed up multiple times.
The awesomeness of the actual game however, most likely will be crystal clear.

It's an insta buy for me. Sure I'll piss myself while playing. Sure I thought the game looked like drek when they started show monsters spoiling my desire for an exploration based space horror. But god damn if actual gameplay vids and previews sell me on this thing. It looks freaking glorious.
I am getting it and... japan, banning a gore tentacle game? anyone seen tetsuo or guinea pig or any anime lately? this seems right up japan's alley
Japan has been cleaning up their games market lately, lots of censorship. See also: the removal of all the blood from No More Heroes.
Anyways, I'd have loved to play a demo, if only they hadn't debuted it on the last day at PAX.

Nonsensical. But no surprise, I guess. RE4 was censored in Japan to take out the dismemberment and decapitations, and Dead Space's gameplay (apparently) revolves around those concepts. It would be really hard to censor out that stuff without completely re-doing the game.
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!"

Yaay. Best october ever. Or worst, I guess, if you're looking at it from a monetary standpoint. Too many good games. I may have to turn to a life of crime.

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.

I'm begging to think this game was supposed to come out this early but they are announcing it like this to make us feel like they love us; when in fact, they do not.
I can't wait to play this. I'm skeptically anxious to rent it and try it out.
Developers take notE: I want more Resident Evil 4 clones please.

hmmm so I was thinking- we have 6 weeks before august and every week the date gets moved up by one week- so we are looking at a sept 23 announce of a release that day yes?
Let's go nerdy. Considering we move forward in time and this game's release date was moved closed to where we are (that is today), why "pushed forward"? Pulled backwards, maybe. Pushing forward you keep the direction you're moving in, in this case the future, thus moving the pushed object farther from where you are (again, today.)
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.

wow I just LOVE it when Japan bans games because it's one of the most hypocritical things ever
I mean a game where you have sex with children is ok, but a game where you shoot space zombies is not

Srsly, I hate this fucking country. I understand if violent games like Manhunt get banned, but Dead Space? WTF?
Maybe Japan are angry because they portrayed tentacles as mindless murder machines. When in the real world, they just want some good sexin.
I'm glad the release date has been pushed forward, gives it less chance of being banned in Australia (hopefully).
@Kakya - What? Have you seen trailers for this game? Gooey dismemberment is gooey dismemberment, carbon-based or otherwise.
"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."
Did EA really tell you guys that?

I wasnt going totally crazy for this game but im definitely getting it if its banned in 3 countries!
Lol. Its their loss if they want to ban a sweet game, but it continues to show the kind of ignorance that goes around. This games got hit written all over it anyway, and it should be interesting to see how it does before RE5 turns up in 08.
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.

Nerfgun: Yes, I got the e-mail directly from EA as well. Plus, go look at the OFFICIAL DEAD SPACE BLOG THAT TALKS ABOUT THIS TOO.
Why the fuck would we make this shit up.

I'm 12th in the online contest (last I checked) and I envy the mofo who cracked the codes faster than me--grand prize is going to be that ridiculous helmet, scuttlebutt sez.
I think RWarrior1CO nailed it on the head as to why it was banned in japan....has anyone else heard the story of a kid decapitating a classmate, then leaving the head on the school steps? i think something with decapitation/limb removal as its main focus would be hitting a nerve for the Japanese.
a horro game that gets banned has to be great! fucking awesome that the releasedate is being f=pushed forward instead of backward...
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO DROP for the PS3! ...
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!
