Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



GameTrailers finally brings us our first look at Dead Space's storyline. We see that the monsters that you'll be fighting in the game were once people, and that this game continues to look better with every new detail released.  The trailer above doesn't reveal a whole lot; but lucky for us, GameTrailers has more to share.  On the latest episode of GameTrailers TV, Geoff Keighley interviewed key members of the Dead Space development team, and they revealed lots of new information on the game.

One of the more interesting facts taken from the interview is that the monsters won't simply be taken out with just a couple of shots. All of the monsters can have their individual limbs shot off, adding an extra challenge to the combat-- and it looks like losing a few limbs won't stop these bad boys. Even shooting their heads off won't be enough in most cases. We also get to see some of the new gameplay elements such as the ability to slow down monsters in a small time warp, and the gravity puzzle elements. 

Be sure to watch the very end of the interview as we get to see one of the aliens called a Brute bite the main character's head off and then rip his body in half! Groovy.

The game is starting to remind me of Doom 3. But this, you see, might actually turn out to be good!

Looks pretty cool!

Actually, weird thing: I just woke up from some dream 5 mins ago about pretty much the same thing. Except the aliens were more like zombies: slow and deliberate. In the end some mother who was the only other survivor ran with me to the last ship with her baby, and threw her baby against them in a last effort to get to the last spaceship's airlock. It didn't work. I went into the ship to power it up, but they just ripped open the airlock like it was paper. No human weapons or explosives worked against them... and I woke up. I guess they found the weapons to kill them in the sequel :(

Geez, the word viscious comes to mind after viewing this trailer. It was nicely done and definitely peaked my interest for the game.

As a man trapped in space, I am on the lookout constantly for these types of creatures! If I ever come across one i'll be sure to give it a blast from my 12 gauge!

Alas there havent been that many evil aliens Ive encountered yet, only some strange underpantlings and a weird p3nis shaped entity that used his chin as a lazer!

I guess you will need to keep up to date on my space diary to find out if any viscious alien gets to taste my lead!

Cool! I read about this game and thought "meh," but the trailer looks really good.

Looks like it's really shaping up, hopefully EA won't ruin it.

After watching that gttv thing, does anyone else feel like almost knowing too much about the games story now? There's something annoying about that, but then again I refuse to watch movietrailers if I can help it because I feel they show too much, too. But some of those questions to the developers were really going to deep into the storyline for my taste, especially because it seems to be a game heavily focused on a strong narrative.
Thing is, I like to be informed well because obviously a video game is a much larger investment than a ticket to the movie-theater or a dvd rental and a bad surprise is more painful for my wallet.

Looks great, but please someone tell me I'm not the only person who thinks the protagonist's outfit and helmet look kind of ridiculous. Something's just...off...

This reminds me of the first time I blew someone's head off in RE4 and he continued to grab me. I pissed my pants and I'm sure this will do the same

Oh please. This game looks predictable and boring.

[i]DeadSpace! Walk down metal corridors that look nothing like Aliens, or Doom 3, or Prey!

DeadSpace! Fight demon-alien-men that look nothing like anything you've ever seen before in Doom 3 or Condemned or Prey or ...

DeadSpace! A totally non-generic space survival horror game that in no way resembles Doom 3 or every other generic survival horror game/movie![/i]

*sigh*

Seriously, anyone who is excited for this game must have never played a videogame before ... ever.

So, it's Aliens mixed with BioShock? Mmhmm. Not interested. Looks somewhat promising, though.

After seeing the trailer I'm pretty interested in the game.

Did I hear Jenna Fischer or are my ears playing tricks on me?

I wasn't too terribly excited for this game, but after watching that video this game is moving up my do want list. Groovy.

Why do people keep calling Doom 3 a survival horror game?

I'm definitely looking forward to see how this turns out.

I msut admit, I'm pretty floored by how good this is starting to look.

I watched the first trailer way back when it was first released, and it got a gigantic MEH from me.

but after watching this, I must say it's definitely on my list of things to at least try out.

I jsut hope it has no cliche plot twist, that'd suck.
