    You know the really weird thing about the image though? It's not looking through the Grill of Isaac's Mask, it's looking through the Metal view blocking parts....

    @Manuel Calavera, Reaper Supreme: Maybe, but I don't think the Cameras were all along those metal bits. Also the shape of the grill kinda suggests to me is is Supposed to be viewed through (there's a couple "holes" about where the eyes should be), suggesting that is where the camera placement would be...

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): They're way too thin, though, and it would make blasting legs off of skittering monstrosities pretty difficult, nevermind fixing complicated machinery on the ship (which is the suit's apparent purpose)

    Dead Space is to horror games what Uncharted is to action games in my opinion, taking heavy influences from all of the bests in each genre but making them feel fresh and exciting again, absolutely fantastic.

    I wonder if we'll be on another ship, or on a planet base this time, or maybe everything's went to shit and a marker somehow got to Earth creating an alien zombie ridden Earth... So awesome...

    I can only hope that Dead Space is longer than the first one, as I beat it in a quick 8 hours. And I'm really hoping for more variations in the enemies, different mutations & creatures and whatnot. Dead Space rocked my socks, but for some reason ... the replayability just wasn't there for me and I parted with the title not too long after buying it on the day of release. I now regret parting with it, and have been considering downloading it as it's $19.99.

    "And I'm really hoping for more variations in the enemies"
    Yup same here.
    In 1st one it felt really cheap the way they simply painted "old" models black to create more dangerous xenomorphs at the end of the game.
    That didnt work well for me, it just killed some of the immersion.
    Otherwise it was a superb survival horror game. Cant wait for DS2.

    I just hope that it will stick to it's roots and not going like RE series into arcade mode, or like Silent Hill into well... shit mode.

    For a minute there I got excited and eager to get the next issue.

    But then I realized I'm not a subscriber to OPM
    (Official Playstation Magazine)..

    I get PTOM
    (Playstation: The Official Magazine) :(

    Oh well, it's still Dead Space 2!! :D

    You know, for a game titled "Dead Space", there really was a lot of alive shit coming after me trying to dismember me.

    Maybe someone should slap the truth in advertising act on them and force them to recall the game. At least title it "Mostly Dead Space" or "Some of the People are Dead Space but the Things That Kill You are Very Much Alive (or at least re-Animated) Space".

    Now we get to see what happened to the REAL Marker! Death to more Necromorphs bitches!!!

    I also can't wait to see what weapons they cook up in the next game. Personally I want those plasma blade weapons that they had in the Dead Space movie. Yes, I know the movie sucked for the most part but those cutters kicked ass! They made for great melee weapons when the Necros go in to close.

    @tiekmir: I second this! The game REALLY needed some form of melee weapon... stomping was cool, but ineffective against most enemies, and the suspended saw feature of the ripper was nigh on useless most of the time.

    Plus the Plasma Cutters in the movie rock!

    Not much else to say but "We should be grateful".

    Dead Space and Dead Space Extraction weren't big sellers for EA. I'm surprised (happily surprised) they would give Dead Space another chance. Must be all that brand building going into effect.

    @WonkersWatilla: Dead Space sold well enough. It wasn't a blockbuster, but it was a solid seller and had very good word of mouth. I'm not surprised they're investing in continuing the brand. And Extraction was surprisingly good.

    Either way, I'm just glad to see a proper sequel.

    @excel_excel: Like you say, it is a slow burner. I think that's probably because, in the casual gamer market, it sold purely on word of mouth. The mainstream advertising for Dead Space must have been very poor, because I have casual gamer friends who absolutely adore the game, but they never heard of it until I showed it to them.

    If EA want better sales, maybe they should do a better job of advertising?
