Dead Space 2 to be less scary?
Dead Space 2 was announced not too long ago and many people are wondering what new additions it will bring. It appears that the second game will feature more action but less horror. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Visceral senior VP Nick Earl told Industry Gamers:
We’ve got two main teams; we’ve got some supporting content for Dante’s Inferno coming out, but we’ll mostly shift our attention to Dead Space 2,
The first one was well received, and we want to take advantage of that start with something that has tremendously wide appeal.
We’re more focused on the action than the horror this time. We’re more empowering to the player. We’ve got a lot of feature innovation and we feel comfortable because we have something with resonance and we have something that’s so capable.
I’ve heard some people say that Dead Space was the most “un-EA game” they had seen, and they meant it as a compliment! Funny anecdote, when [EA CEO] John [Riccitiello] in his position several years ago and was touring the studio, he said he wanted a horror game. He went away and when it came back, he helped support and finally realize that game in Dead Space.
let’s build quality and let the rest follow.
What do you think about this?

if Dead space 2 if cofusing in action this time and less horror then this game will be a epic fail, what keep me hooked to Dead space (and i love it more than Re5) was indeed the feeling of me aware of each step i did in the game because i dint know what will try to kill me in the next second. if is a action oriented game then im not buying it this time. (more action… seems or means they are out of ideas)
