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.

    I use to do that back in Arizona. There was a day when I would watch Fred Rogers and Sesame Street while singing through a kazoo while rolling screen doors. And when lunchtime arrives, it's just buttered toast and water for the likes of me.
