Quantcast



This latest trailer for Dead Space entitled "Loved Ones" (which can be found after the break) is the creation of Saw director James Wan.

It's not every day you see a film director delve into videogame trailers, but Wan says he's a "massive fan of space horror stories" and that he was "blown away by the cinematic visuals and philosophy behind [Dead Space's] story."

The trailer itself does a fine job of showing off the game's creatures without revealing too much in the process. Whether it be a movie or a game, monsters are almost never as scary once you get a good look at them.

Bioshock in space is going to be awesome.

Holy shit, this game is going to be pretty scary! It reminds me a bit of the movie "The Thing", wich is my favourite movie of all time.

Game looks pretty good.

Anything James Wan is great in my book.....the original Saw has IMO the best ending of any movie, ever.

@Projecttexodus - The Thing is one of my favorite movies too. The resemblance between it and Dead Space makes me hope the game will turn out great.

I can't wait for this game, I really hope it doesn't disappoint. Cool trailer. Although I think I may be the only person left with electricity who hasn't seen any of the Saw movies.

This trailer has simply confirmed the awesomeness that is this game. There has to be at least 10 games that I am interested in that are coming out in October.

@ "Bioshock in space"

You sound like you picked up Gaming in 2007.

@Keaglez, Just in case you're serious, I think he means that Bioshock in space kind of already exists. It's called the System Shock series, which Bioshock is the spiritual successor to. They were designed by Ken Levine as well and released in the nineties.

or he could be referencing doom...which is the first thing that came to mind when i saw the first trailer for dead space "how awesome would it be if this is what doom3 was".

This looks closer to Silent Hill in space, but still awesome.

This trailer scares me, I want the game but I may need to invite friends over to play it (I can't play scary games alone ;_;)

It actually reminded me a bit of Doom 3. I know that was on Mars and all but it has a similar dark claustrophobic look.

Hmm. I like that everyone is comparing this to completely different games. To me that shows that the game really will be something new and unique.

This looks great, really reminded me of System Shock and that's definitely a good thing. One question though "Sometimes you have to kill the people you love." What kind of stupid shit tag line is that???

This should be awesome. If it's like any pre-existing game, then it looks like a combination of Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3. That is a good thing.

This game has great potential. With visuals like these, playing Dead Space in a dark room at night is going to be more thrilling. I really hope the game play can follow up this good trailer.
