What is this Dead Space 2 image teasing? photo

Apparently, Visceral Games is making some announcement related to Dead Space 2 later this week. I know this because the studio said as much on its Facebook page. Technology! Somewhere in the picture above is a hint about said announcement.

Browsing through the comments, I learned a few things: the Unitology text supposedly means "ignition," Isaac is right-handed normally, so the image clearly confirms dual-wielding (clearly!), and lastly, some people seem to have -- seemingly out of nowhere -- associated multiplayer with the image.

Something tells me none of that stuff is quite ... uh, right? I think this situation calls for some good ol' crowdsourcing.

What it is teasing? Simple. "Sorry Issac Clarke, you ARE the father. Those ARE your kids, and you DID hit it, at least three times."

If you look closely I think you can see Minerva from Assassin's Creed 2 TIE-INS ANYONE?!

Aside from the fact that you can see Isaac's right hand and it doesn't have a weapon in it. Akimbo sure.

It's probably just a better image from a layout point of view. Most people read from left to right, and do the same when looking at images, even if subconsciously.

I don't know how duel welding would work in this game. The secondary is R2 and L1 is used for aiming, and you need that to shoot. Also, it looks like now you can increase your health with rig upgrades.

All the Dead Space team has to tell me is that there will be more Dead Space.

See that writing in the top right hand corner of the picture? That strange language that's where those three child monsters are sitting in the picture? Yeah, decipher that and you'll get your answer.

there is an alphabet key to decipher that language, but I've never used it. Check a dead space wiki to find it.

It's teasing that there will be more religious imagery in the sequel.


Am I missing something here?

The Unitology is truth.

Someone in the facebook page commentaries decoded the writings on the top right and it says "Ignition"... Don't know what that means...

From what I see, it looks like there is a Dead Space sequel coming out.

Never played 1, but I watched Aliens. I don't recall Chapels in Spaceships. Or stained glass.

Just saying.

if it translates to Ignition, then my guess is that the soundtrack will consist of R. Kelly's Remix to ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen, etc...

OR! even better, the whole narative of the game is sung by R. Kelly, like in his epic hip-hopera, Trapped in the closet.

Seriously... Can we just get a trapped in the closet game?

So, this is probably about Dead Space 2's team based necromorph vs human multiplay.

Cuz, uh, the game has it. Bye!

I got it really I do ! It's co op with others who have different rigs like the left handed girl previously pictured without rig screaming shooting. I believe she's been pictured before left handed and looks like they've invested a lot into this female.

Maybe issac dies and the girl finishes the rest of the story ? Or simply co op , either way I'm stoked.

The ignition thing is weird I'm not sure if that was just thrown in? Ignition did publish exatraction? We already know move will be used and I doubt it but 3d would kick ass. There's 3 necros on the sign so maybe a hint at 3d lol?

Seriously though that's a chick in a rig.

Dual wielding may possibly be in the game, but it is not in this picture. His right hand is empty.

On the subject of 3D...... I decided to replay this recently coz I bought a setup to do it justice..... 3D TV included. What can I say - emulated 2D to 3D on Dead Space..... Wow, I can't believe they probably will not be doing a 3D mode..... It has scared the bejezus outta me yet again and I've already finished it once already. The depth makes you really cautious.
