Dead Space Wants To Scare You

Posted by Soulskill on from the BOO dept.

Kotaku recently ran a story questioning whether the survival-horror genre still exists, and how Dead Space may or may not fit into it. With reviews for the game starting to come in, Ars Technica reports that the game is, indeed, both scary and good. Gamespy wrote up a Dead Space survival guide, and Gamasutra has a lengthy interview with the game's senior producer. In the production of the game, the developers studied things like car wrecks and war scenes to increase the level of realism. They also want the game's sounds to terrify players, including appropriately timed silence. The launch trailer is also available, though it does contain spoilers.

    That crazed maniac John McCain scares the shit out of me.

    If he is this crazy and unstable on the campaign trail what will he do in the Oval Office?

      You know what scares me? People who post things saying "The (party) candidate is EVIL and will rape the women and take all the candy and kill babies!!!!!! Plus he'll make global warming worse!!!!!1!!!one"

      Fuck you. McCain and Obama couldn't be more alike if one had been cloned from the other. They're BOTH assholes.

      I'm voting for Cthulhu. Why should I settle for the lesser evil?

    Why would you elect a man for president who would blend in with a dirty floor while he was on his knees scrubbing? Tell me, what would such a man have to hide?

    Not to mention Obama is a verified terrorist! Oh well, looks like he's going to win this "popularity" contest.
