EA are marching into the Survival Horror genre with Dead Space for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
I was just wondering everyones views on this game, the plot has been summed up in the following statement...
"You are Isaac Clarke, a space engineer who specializes in fixing giant mining ships for the Concordance Extraction Corporation, or C.E.C. As most stories of the like go, your company receives a distress call from the USG Ishimura, a “Planet Cracker” class ship that takes dead planets, and destroys them to extract valuable ore for the company. In the assumption that the ship has had a mechanical failure, Isaac gathers coworkers Lt. Zach Hammond, security officer, and Kendra Daniels, local Tech specialist. As you set out to meet with the ship upon the cruiser class Kellion, you soon realize that this is no ordinary distress call. In the classic sci-fi manner, you soon find that the ship has been overrun by a mysterious alien race. After boarding the ship, you are separated from your party, and this routine check becomes a race for your life"
So is this EA's "Spiritual Successor" to System Shock 2 or do you believe its something different?
I'd like to hear your views on it.

It sounds a hell of alot more along the lines of the earlier ps2 game "Run Like Hell", which wasn`t a bad game at all overall, but doesn`t even come close to System Shock.

A character named Isaac Clarke in a sci-fi game? That sounds original.:tsktsk:
