This is going to be a day one purchase for me, but am I the only one that hates these kind of trailers? I would rather have some in game footage..........

Be glad you're getting anything before E3. I'll definitely borrow/rent this one in the future as the first was as enjoyable as everyone said it would be. I just hope they don't tack on some multiplayer features like Bioshock 2 did.

yeah but blurred and shaking and edited by someone who wishes they worked for Michael Bay....no way to tell if it is in game footage, and that is not what I really am looking for when I say in game footage...

I forgot I had this preordered back when amazon put it up for 49.99 and it was in my gold box for 46...lets hope they keep the price at 56.99 and offer a gift card on top of it....

Yeah, I have it preordered too.

Finally got around to finishing the first one. I played it when it first came out and got side-tracked during Chapter 10. I popped it back in last week and I've been playing late at night with all the lights in the house turned off (which explains why I'm wide awake at 2:30 a.m. Can't sleep -- necromorphs will eat me!)

Something I didn't realize until I finished the game and started poking around on the 'net: Here are the titles of the chapters in the first game (do not click if you haven't played the first game all the way to the end):

Spoiler:

Chapter 1: New Arrivals
Chapter 2: Intensive Care
Chapter 3: Course Correction
Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent
Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion
Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard

Chapter 7: Into the Void
Chapter 8: Search and Rescue

Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival
Chapter 10: End of Days
Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions
Chapter 12: Dead Space


The reason I was poking around on the 'net, BTW, is that I was looking for translations of the rune graffiti, and in particular the rune word that pops up when you win. Anybody seen any translations?

I came across that back around December when I completed my first playthrough of the game - pretty sweet.
I did find translations for the rune markings, but I don't have the link handy(that computer is currently in pieces). I'll try to track it down...

I don't remember the name Nicole either, I played the game when it was released, but based on what was posted, it's easy to know who she is.

Nicole is Isaac's girlfriend.

To answer your next question, Isaac is the character you play.

Dead Space Ignition is an XBLA/PSN prequel to DS2. Between this, Red Faction, and Dead Rising 2 it looks like this will become more common.

Multiplayer. Seems very reliant on teamwork. Waht do you guys think?

I can't wait. I loved the first game. I kinda wish it was a first person shooter but that's just my taste.

This is pretty much the definition of a series that does NOT need multiplayer. Have we learned nothing from Bioshock?

Having said that, I'm ok with including it as long as the single-player aspect doesn't suffer, and as long as there are no multiplayer achievements/trophies to "extend" the life of the game by making you play a thousand matches to get them all.

And having said that, I still can't wait for this game!

Completely agree.

This is a release day buy for me. Hell, I had no interest in the PS Move controller until I saw they were doing an HD version of Dead Space Extraction. I love this series and the storyline.

Anyone else get invited to the Dead Space 2 Multiplayer Closed Beta (PS3)?

Played one round last night. The same level in that trailer above. Team of humans vs team of aliens. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. Seems like the humans were supposed to set something then defend it. If they were successful, time would be extended. Aliens just try to kill the humans.

Lots of teamwork needed for the human side. If you run off, you'll probably get slaughtered. The alien side seems to be more about providing an onslaught of threats. Teamwork might help in tracking down a stray human. But aliens die so quickly. I'm not sure if an organized attack will help much.

The map is interesting. There's a wide open area on top. And the bottom is filled with tight corridors. There are tons of alien respawn points.

Dead Space 2 collector's edition with replica plasma cutter leaked

<img src="http://imgur.com/INv0e.jpg"/>

According to a (since removed) image found on Amazon and now posted on Examiner, the collector's edition of Dead Space 2 will include a life-size toy Plasma Cutter, in addition to a soundtrack CD, a DLC voucher, and a piece of artwork. EA announced its intention to produce a collector's edition for the sequel way back in January, when it sought ideas for pack-in items from fans. The plasma cutter happened to be on the list even then -- and we called it "outrageous."

Being a sort-of leaked item, EA hasn't officially announced its existence, and thus no information about its price is known.

I was invited as well. Downloaded and played one round, then went back to whatever else I was doing because, really, who needs this?

I also took the survey they sent to beta players and shared my feelings on the issue, not that I expect it to have an ounce of impact.

Spiderbite 10-13-10 02:44 PM

They had me at CD soundtrack. Wonder what the price is going to be/ This will be one of the few CEs that I will go ahead and buy instead of waiting on a price break.

So I pre-ordered this game waaaaay back in December 2009 to lock in a price of $49.25. Today I received this email:
