"Some great news for Sony Playstation fans who feel that maybe they didn’t see enough exclusive content coming their way. Visceral Games, one of EA’s subsidiary studios, announced exclusive content for the PS3 version of the Limited Edition of Dead Space 2. This isn’t your typical exclusive skin or piece of DLC, no, Visceral is packing in Dead Space Extraction on the Limited Edition of Dead Space 2. Dead Space Extraction was the critically acclaimed prequel game for the Dead Space series that ..."
BestBuy.com is offering several Nintendo Wii video games on sale this week at the best prices online or in stores. Games include Metroid Prime: Trilogy, Collector's Edition for $19.99, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for $29.99, EA Sports Active for $49.99 and more. See complete for details.
While many Wii owners are calling for more hardcore games, is it really worth it for the developers?
Dead Space sold fairly well on the PS3/360, but Dead Space: Extraction hasn't done too well at all. Despite recieving great reviews, the game barely managed to sell 9,000 units.
Capcom's Spyborgs did even worse, selling a mere 500 copies in September.
Embarassing!
"With the release of the highly-anticipated prequel, Dead Space Extraction, hitting store shelves Tomorrow. The developers, Visceral Games will host a live webcast for fans in honor of launch on September 29th at 12p.m. PST. The one-hour webcast will feature demonstrations of the exciting gameplay of Dead Space Extraction. Fans will also be invited to participate in a Q&A session with the Visceral team."
Looks like our user frostyhudson's 411mania site has ceased their great release lists, so it's back to shacknews.
Shed a tear, then remember Risen, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the Wizard of Oz RPG (really, it's gonna be good -- check for Neoseeker's review shortly), Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga, Gran Turismo PSP, Obscure, and lastly (phwew), the PSPGo are coming out (plus a few other highlights).
After critical success on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, Dead Space headed off to the Wii. Extraction isn't a port to the Wii, but rather a prequel. At GamesCom Dead Space's producer hinted that after beating Extraction, players should wait until the end of the credits as it will hint to the "future of the series". Could this mean new info on Dead Space 2?
"Activision are building a new studio in San Francisco. But need people to work there. So to get the ball rolling, they've nicked two of the senior staff at EA's Visceral Games, the team behind Dead Space and Dante's Inferno.
Glen Schofield, who was general manager at Visceral, and Michael Condrey, who was chief operating officer, both let their colleagues at EA know today that they were off to work at the new studio, whose name and purpose is at the moment a mystery."
"Electronic Arts employee Patrik Patel has cheekily updated his LinkedIn profile - revealing he’s working as a Technical/Development Director for Dead Space 2. Call us “obvious” but we’d assume the project has to be rolling before work can begin.
Perhaps we’ll see something at E3. Although don’t hold your breath. It’s unlikely this game will see the light of day until next year."
"After Electronic Theatre reported on the fact (with thanks to Blend Games) back at the start of March, Electronic Arts Inc. today officially announced that its award-winning EA Redwood Shores Studio has been renamed and re-branded Visceral Games to better reflect the studio’s culture, identity and focus on creating intense action-oriented intellectual properties."
The prequel to Redwood Shores' Dead Space is seeing some details pour in.
First, it's said to take place three weeks before the original's protagonist Isaac gets to the Ishimura, the ship we traversed last time. You start out on a planet before setting off, but things "turn nasty".
Next, you'll be able to play as two different characters, and one NPC is a heroine you must protect and save (not much of a heroine).
The flamethrower will be in the game, as well as a couple of different...
Contrary to earlier reports, the Dead Space prequel has been confirmed by EA to not support Wii MotionPlus functionality.
MotionPlus allows for greater response time when using the Wiimote moition controls, but as Extraction is a rail shooter that doesn't focus on accurate motion controls (just accurate shooting), this shouldn't be any great loss.
Electronic Arts COO John Pleasants has confirmed to those attending the 2009 Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference today that the publisher's upcoming Wii title, Dead Space Extraction, will utilize Nintendo's upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory. Details on how it will be implemented is currently unknown.
Also announced in a press release earlier today, the Wii version of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10, along with the newly-unveiled EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will support the Wii Remote...
"EA just confirmed a Wii version of Dead Space in its Q3 investor call.
The firm said it is to focus on stronger marketing for Wii in the coming year, with Dead Space, new tennis titles, three MySims games and Hasbro brands
Were a little unclear on release date for the new version of 2008s celebrated horror, but this year is a safe bet. Mr EAs calls a little flaky in the quality department.
The news comes on the back of confirmation of a heavy Q3 loss for the developer."
