Dead Space Extraction Details and Trailer

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]On rails isn't out of the ordinary, Zack and wiki is out of the ordinary. On rails is just something not done on consoles but since consoles aren't the only form of gaming, you have no point.ActicEdge

You could say the same for point and click adventures. The fact is that neither genre is established in the console market whatsoever, and it isn't crazy for EA to want to tap into the point-and-shoot genre on the Wii if they think they can take the top spot. It's actually a pretty smart move.

It's hard for me to argue about the what-ifs in Dead Space as a third-person shooter since I haven't played the original. There could be many reasons for them to think that it wouldn't translate well enough to be a big seller on the Wii. It could be that they're just waiting to bring the next multiplat third-person shooter installment of the franchise to all three consoles, rather than porting the first one to the Wii or making an entirely new one as a Wii-exclusive.

I've said it again and again over the past few days.... It's fine to be disappointed, but we have to look at the game that's actually being made. So far, for what it's trying to be, it looks like it has some potential. Just because this game is on rails doesn't mean that the Wii won't see a third-person installment in the future, if EA decides that the market is ready for it. People seem to be taking this game's direction as EA saying "Screw you Wii owners!" That doesn't make any sense. They're making a business decision. We'll have to wait and see if it was actually a good one or not.

I'm not arguing that, this isn't a "hate EA because they made a rail shooter". I never once stated that. This is EA not being clear on there intentions? The game will probably be good, I don't care, that's not my point. EA made this game seem like it would be big, the game wii owners had been finally waiting for, and they lied. That is why people are disappointed. It doesn't matter what EA does after this, the damage has already been done. Or am I wrong?

Personally, I'm hyped for this. I've read the interview, and seen the trailer, and it's looking good. I don't know why everyone's up in arms about it being On-Rails. I think it's a good choice, and a smart move. On-Rails games work well on the Wii. Its not like the Wii is flooded with light gun, on-rails games, so there is room for more. I've never played the original Dead Space, but this looks interesting, with great graphics and lots of scares. And we hardly know anything about it yet. Be a bit more optimistic about this one, instead of condeming it to a sad, lonely death. Shayde_Shadow

It's apparently an 'on rails' shooter, which could still be fun, but not what I had in mind.presto7640

Exactly. I didn't realize that this game was 'on rails'. I was very very excited about this game until now. Can't believe I didn't know this game was that way.....

It seems no one can be satisfied.

If it was a half-baked port of the original, people would complain that it's rubbish and they won't buy it no matter what. If it was a ground up game, people would say it pales to the original, and that they won't buy it. They decided to make it On-Rails, people complain that it's lazy and that they won't buy it.

Stop moaning about it, and give it a chance! Who knows you might enjoy it!

i loved the original and something following the vain of that game would be epic that said on rails is fun the arcades but really i cant say im a huge fan of the idea lets be honest here the original's mood was set by things jumping out of nowhere and literally running for your life back to safety somewhere on rails i cant do that i just must plunge on and really takes some of the OMG SHOCK FACTOR out.

and i would so totally buy a deadspace 2 with similar gameplay.
