Is anyone else looking forward to Dead Space Extraction?

I got this month's edition of Game Informer the other day and they have this big article on the new Dead Space game for the Wii which is a prequel to the Dead Space on the other systems. When I heard that it would be on-rails it was a big turn-off. I can honestly say that after the preview it doesn't matter to me that it's on-rails. I picked up the original game back in October and i loved it. Extraction is to be released in the Fall and i can't wait.

I am. I just hope its good.

i can't honestly say that ill be sure to pick it up , i loved DS but turning it to an on-rails shooter is just horrible, they could have made the same game on the Wii , did anyone saw the xbox beta video on youtube? those are the kind of graphic that Wii will handle.

I hope they do it right!

I dont like paying full price for something as broken as a rail shooter but with all this love for it i might pick up the 1st Dead Space though assuming its cheap enough.

Well, at the moment, I'm not excited...but I need more info first.

EA was hinting about maybe redefining the rail shooter genre with this game, making it much more cinematic than usual.

If it's a really original game, and not just 'HotD in space' then I'll get interested.

No I'm notI don't like those type of On-Rail Shooters I just don't like when developers take games from Different genres and try to turn them into On-Rail Shooters.

I love Rail Shooters like Sin & Punishment, Space Harrier, Rez, Panzer Dragoon, and Star Fox. I don't like First Person Rail Shooters because they make them so slow while the Rail Shooters I'm talking about are generallyfaster paced.

No, getting rid of the GOOD over the sholder with the BAD on-rails.

This is why I'm buying a gaming PC, because devs are giving us crap versions of all their big releases.

Something that might be seen in the furture:

EA: "Hey, Left 4 Dead will be coming to Wii."

GAMER: "Yeah!"

EA: "We will turn this 4 player online co-op FPS with almost unlimited replayability into a 5 hour 2 player offline co-op on-rails shooter."

GAMER: "What the ****?"

I personally like Rail-Shooters, I know they aren't the deepest types of games when it comes to gameplay, but HOTD:OK was one of the best games I've ever played. So, I'm looking forward to it.

I too am anticipating this game. :)

I am looking forward to that game. It looks like a quality production to me. I like on the rails shooters...but i think this will expand that genre a little. Its seems they are trying a couple of new things with this game. I am glad it will be a different game that the one i have already played on my PS3.

on-rails? I didn't read that article yet, but already you assured methat I do not want anything to do with this Wii-destruction-ness of a good game.

i'm looking forward to this game

I really couldn't care less.Another dumbed-down version of a successful game ported to the wii that will sell on name alone. Even if it is good, I just can't see myself spending 50 or 60 dollars to shoot aliens that pop up from behind boxes. Ugghh...

I fully support this statement.

I agree, although house of the dead overkill looks fun, but that's cause there are zombies. I can't imagine it would be exciting to shoot aliens without being able to move. Zombies are scary and it would be a more intense experience, but aliens don't really scare me.

Glad to see some people are looking forward to it, who knows, maybe this whole on-rails thing is a sham :)
