"When it was announced a Dead Space game was coming to Wii, most fans of the original and many new-comers were excited by the fact that a prequel was coming out. Although, when it was revealed that the game would be an on-rails shooter, most soon began to question just why they didn't go third person shooter?"

So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.
"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"
What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.
How can you say this.
"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."
And then say this in the very next paragraph.
"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."
I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
I know the Wii could do a quality third person Dead Space, to bad they went where a lot of other big franchise games have gone....on-rails. I like the genre just feel Dead Space would be better played in third person on Wii.
looks good. house of the dead style creepy though
the devs said they could do the same graphics on a 3rd person dead space if that was what they thought they wanted but for this game were going for a new take on the arcade shooter and calling it guided fps abit more freedom than usual but im not bothered the game looks as atmospheric as the last 1 and when i seen extraction i thought along with alot of people including IGN 360/wii team that it was dead space 2 so graphics must be amazing due to dead space 1 being 1 of the best looking titles to date on the 360 i think weve been getting had over on our wii games when u consider this but better late than never bring on dead space 2 wii/360/ps3 or on wii maybe abit later than other 2 versions but with IR pointing controls wow
Two reasons:
1. The Wii isn't powerfull enough to pull of the effects and physics needed for a 3D game like it is on 360/PS3. So they dumb it down to on rails
2. The audience of 50 to 60 mln. that owns a Wii needs to be guided by the hand through a game. They aren't real gamers. So its all for the quick fun, easy jump in gaming. Here you go, you only need to point and shoot
And thats it folks!
