I'm sure many have heard of EA announcing Dead Space for Wii. IGN manage to get some details about Dead Space Extraction. It seems the game will NOT be a port of the 360/PS3 versions, it will actually be a prequel with a different storyline and it will also be in first person. Sounds great, I was hoping it won't be a port.

It appears EA was more serious about supporting the Wii than I expected.

Edit: I just wanted to add that, I was aware this was on rails. I watched the trailer and read the interview before posting.

If that video has in game graphics then woooo that's some nice stuff going on there.

And this is exactly what I hoped it would be and what I pray the Wii gets more of, same universe different stories.

does "on the rails" mean that the screen moves without the player having a choice? Like some older arcade shooter games?PA_DUTCH

Traditionally, your character follows a specific path preset by the designers and you shoot stuff as you go. You don't have much choice in your movement. But, the interview says they're going to introduce some 'new ideas' to the formula...whatever that means. It's EA, so I'll keep my expectations low, and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

IGN: Dead Space for 360 is a third-person action game. This is not true of the Wii version. The title shares more in common with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, right? Please explain how gameplay works.

Steve: Our gameplay takes advantage of a guided and cinematic camera which allows us to frame the action on screen and deliver fantastic and gripping action sequences packed with loads of scares. We plan to evolve the game by focusing on a frenetic first-person perspective that we believe will enhance the tension and horror the player experiences as they play the game. The unique gameplay and first-person perspective allows us to combine a high action horror movie experience within an interactive environment.

ANOTHER ON RAILS SHOOTER...

It is really sad that it will be an on rail shooter...i already own two

on rail shooters... i will not buy it if it is onrails

how disappointing, and it will fail if it becomes a Rail shooter

lets keep posting negative comments in hopes of anybody in EA to see lol

wow I feel bad for you guys who only own a wii because this game is amazing.

I knew something was fishy about porting the original game because the graphics were way too crisp for the wii and they'd have to be a lot of dumbing down and they would've had to spend a lot of money just to make that port.

but rail shooters? thats just awful. rail shooters are only fun in arcades. no one wants to play that at home.

Sorry to be a pain but can someone explain why they dislike a on the rail shooter? Is it because they all play the same? or lack of choices?PA_DUTCH

Lack of freedom

Less hours of gameplay

People wanted this game to be a ground up and Play similar to Resident evil 4:wii,it would also have been good if it was a Plain FPS(no rails) but EA just killed the Dream.....

I'd rather have a port than a more of this on rails junk!umcommon

Wow, lots of hate for on-rails shooters in this thread, while there is currently massive love for House of the Dead: Overkill permeating this very forum. You guys confuse me sometimes. ;)

We should judge the game for what it is, not what we hoped it would be. Judging from the trailer, it's going to be a pretty sweet arcade shooter.

FU EA

when i read it was a prequel i was like "omg original content yay!"

then on rails. lazy just lazy. seriously this isn't dead space then, how is on rails ever scary, you die and you put your coin in and come back (or press 1!)

this sucks. F U EA. can't you see DQ10, MH3, LKS, conduit, madworld, RF:F, FF:MOLE, are all taking wii seriously

i wanted something more dead space than house of the dead

and now we know critics will pan this game even if it ends up being the best on rails shooter ever, once again EA, F U. you could've really done something for wii, but no. had to take an easier way out. F U

Wow lots of negative comments here and the game is still in the early stages of development.King-gamer

but it has been revealed that it will be a Rail Shooter, that just kills all the Hype about the game controling better than the ps3/pc/360 one...

but, at least it looks nice to be in early development

yeah but you have to remember that HOTD has always been a On rails Shooter, while Dead space was a 3rd person, people were crazy about the idea of Dead space +Wii remote

It doesn't say this is an on rails shooter does it, it just says the camera is controlled by them to give the best cinematic experience. Isn't this much like what the old REs used to do?

Normally, I'd agree with judging games by their own merit. But in this case, we've got the hype from EA, a simplified, restricted, on rails game world, the extremely short development window (Q3 2009), and a successful name to play off of. This is beginning to look like nothing more than a cash in trying to ride the coattails of The Conduit and Madworld. A rails shooter is completely different than the original Dead Space and EA may only be using the name because it has high expectations attached to it. IF that is what they're doing, then I don't think it's wrong to judge the game by the same expectations EA is using to sell it.

Steve: Extraction is not your typical Rail Shooter. Our goal is to innovate and push the genre forward like Dead Space did for third-person action survival horror.

They call it on rail, just not a typical on rail. But he doesn't elaborate on what that means.

So this is EA's "quality effort" with Dead Space on Wii? Turning it into a rails-shooter?

Is that what every developer is going to do? Turn all their top-tier franchises into rails-shooters just uphold graphical quality for Wii. I would rather the game take a small hit in the graphics department, than have it turned into this. EXTREMELY disappointing news.

While I have no problem with "on-rails" games (Overkill is great, UC was good, but I hope Capcom NEVER does it again), I DO have a problem with Dead Space being turned into one. Call me selfish, but its just not what I wanted to see for that franchise as far as a Wii version goes. Not one bit!

When is a developer going to look at RE4 Wii Edition and how great it is with Wii controls and expand on that? WHEN?!

[QUOTE="loco145"]Come on. Re:UC require tons more skill than the original Dead Space did.umcommon

I was talking about the notion that On-rails FPS is some kind of inherent "casual and very easy"genre.

Umbrella Chronicles is a high-quality game that also happens to be very fun. It's not like any other game in the RE series, but that isn't always a bad thing.

People are crying "cash in" and "lazy" and "casual game that requires no skill." This game could turn out to be a well-made, high-quality, fun game, and it sounds like a lot of people here will pass it up just because it isn't what they wanted it to be. If this didn't have the Dead Space name attached, would we be seeing the same reactions? I can understand disappointment, but the utter rage and language that demeans the game itself just screams overreaction.

So, saw the news, new Dead Space and not a port, excitment +1. Then saw the trailer and hey it actually looks pretty nice, +1 again... and then I saw the on-rails, and I "facepalm", excitment -2 and we're back at 0.

I guess it's impossible to put 3rd person horror game on Wii, I mean RE4 only sold a million+ and that was a port, obviously it doesn't work :|. Having played the 1st one, I know how running away from those monsters was a key part in the game, it was a survival horror game afterall. Having no character to control just reduce the scare factor for that kind of game big time.

But hey, I might still check it out, the Dead Space story is a pretty interesting one so just for that I might look into it. However I did not buy RE:UC and HotD so chances of me getting this one are no better than those 2 titles.
