Wot I Think: Dead Space 2

Dead Space 2 Features Screaming, Ghosts
By Jim Rossignol on January 7th, 2011.

They’re calling this the lullaby trailer, which means it’s soundtracked by a spooky rendition of a children’s song. Nothing spookier than that, eh F.E.AR. franchise? Better than being soundtracked by inappropriately shouty rock music, anyway.

Actually, with the infested city and so forth, I am getting a bit of a Bioshock vibe from the environments, but maybe that’s just me. Also, I’m afraid I am one of those freaks who was able to put up with the interface wonkiness on PC and still rather enjoy the game, so I am certainly looking forward to this hitting on the 25th of January.

Standard teaser stuff for now: no real footage, but confirmation that hideous mutant dead things will once again feature in the franchise’s future, as Isaac wakes up on a heavily populated space station, The Sprawl. Will Dead Space 2 feature more stamping with big metal space boots? We can only say: yes, probably. The trailer is in the depths below…
