According to a recent consumer survey, Electronic Arts is considering bringing Dead Space Extraction from the Wii to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network platforms. According to the survey, Extraction would be presented in HD and retail for $14.99 while retaining the "guided first-person experience" of the original game.
As well as Extraction, EA is considering another downloadable Dead Space game called Planet Cracker.
According to the survey, Planet Cracker would be a "resource strategy game where players will manage a CEC Mining operation." In a similar vein to Fable II: Pub Games, the actions in Planet Cracker would yield bring in-game rewards to Dead Space 2.
Sounds ridiculous, but stranger things have happened. I wouldn't count this rumor out just yet.

But all in all, Extraction was a good game that should probably get recognized a little more. And this is one way for that to happen.
Come on guys, it's been so fucking slow today, someone argue with me!
PLEEEEZZZZE!?
(I'm not saying that publishers should have to eviscerate their retail values to move product, but this is clearly the price point they find to be fitting for it. why should we as consumers be expected to value it more?)
..and when will developers stop pretending that the Wii can't compute movement input from the user.
I remember playing Virtua cop 2 on the PC. It felt stupid.
@Sexualchocolate
You're wrong.
Happy?
PS3 DOES have a lightgun. I think you're all forgetting about the Guncon 3. Which is probably because the only game that supports it is Time Crisis 4. Seeing it on XBL would be nice, but unless they release an LCD compatible lightgun then it's no sale. And even so, I'd like to have a reason for owning the Guncon 3. This could be it.
What I mean by this is that I've never played an on rails shooter where your character moves his goddamn head so much. I mean, I understand that it's a story-driven game and you are supposed to care about the people you're walking around with, but when necromorphs are climbing down all around you and clawing at you, why the fuck would you turn away from the action to stare at the dude standing next to you to see his reaction? It just ruined the atmosphere. If a fucking monster is in the room with me, I want to be able to shoot at it, goddamnit! I don't care what the fat, bald scientist is doing!
I do own a wii but I have not bought this game, mainly on the fact that Rail shooters are not my favorite games.
its just that I don't want to pay $30-40 for a cheep trick that was there just to boost the graphics and now you can get it for $15
I don't know about you but I bought RE4 for the wii for $20 new and that was a good deal, but $50 for a rail shooter is not cool
Making a Rail shooter is a downgrade not an upgrade
As for this, there's no WAY it's going to work with a dual-stick layout. Either give it Arc support or don't do it. And as far as Natal... Good luck with that one.
I just can't see it being very fun with a standard controller.
OMG I'M TOTALLY GOING TO GET THIS. DEAD SPACE RAIL SHOOTER IN HD! YES!
Dude, activision didnt publish this game, EA did.DUH. other than that, i completely agree with you.
Are we getting senile here?
Yes, I bought the game. And yes, I'm glad I did.
I fully expect a $25 refund in the mail, EA. Actually, considering it's $15 WITH HD, I'd like $30 to compensate for my SD copy. :/
(Also, kinda expecting this to bomb just as hard on the HD consoles, like Chinatown Wars before it and just like how NMH: Heroes' Paradise will. I don't know why people think HD consoles will save "hardcore" games from bombing. Must be an overcompensating reaction to the Wii...)
sixaxis is shite, and tilt controls on an onrails shooter? are u kidding?!
