Dead Space, being developed by a "renegade" team at EA, sounds a lot like what we'd expect out of the rumored System Shock 3. Is there a connection to be made? And more importantly, can one man cut through the darkness?

Do you live in Oz, where there's yellow brick roads and Emerald Cities? Welcome to Real Life.

It is ok for games to take place in fantasy worlds (like Oz)

Go into a dark room and tell me about all the vibrant colors you see.

I vote for a FPS where the Scarecrow mows down the emerald city in search of his brain, which is being held by a mad scientist with super powers. Yeah, on second thought, that plot blows.
On another note, isnt it easy for one man to cut through the darkness with the aid of a flashlight?

Why my walls are a lovely shade of Nintendo red and white. I wear Link's clothes all day and I drive a Pikachu car.

Is this going to involve stopping the future Hitler before he becomes the president by finding out there's a "dead space" in the visions of the future you have showing you that you have the power to prevent it?

Event Horizon? Since when is a crappy re-imagining of great sci-fi (Solaris in this case) a cult-classic? The ship went to hell? Really?

Hell is only a word. Where it went, was much much worse. A dimension of pure chaos.

"In the far reaches of space, humanity brings to light a forgotten alien scourge. Can one man cut through the darkness?" Wait a minute, Humanity brought light to the scourge then they ask one man to cut through darkness.

Well, just because they brought the light doesn't mean they've done anything with it. Lazy bastards.

Seriously though, one of these sci-fi games need to take place on some random world made up mostly of blue with a pink sky. Just to shut everyone up.

Well Joystiq failed to mention that other websites including IGN (which unveiled this game 2 months ago) is that it is coming to PS3, 360 and PC. Wii owners will instead get another game involving Mario (sigh)instead!!!
360/PS3 FTW!!!!!!!!!

The trolls have so little control they don't even bother changing their avatar. I realized it changes your avatar retroactively which is why my one post under Phoenix Wright with my parrot looks weird now. And when BPM had a pedobear and chargin' avatars.

It's always nice when EA dredges up yet another one of their ancient dead and buried IPs acquired from one of the dozens of companies that they purchased over the years whose visionary designers and top programming talent fled as soon as their non-compete agreements expired.
It's even better when they then pattern the new installment directly on one of those visionary creators' latest hit game.
Fuck you EA.

Seriously, what's next? A new populous game featuring a snappy young lad and a third person perspective integrating one button combat?

Wow, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but I find it hard to bet excited by anything in game informer since they are nothing more than a glorified gamestop sales flyer. OTOH, why can't we get a sci-fi game based on firefly? That would be an awesome universe to set a game in.

Does anyone but me think that the term "Survival Horror" is an oxymoron? Think about it. What's the opposite of survival? Non-survival? Are there any videogames dedicated to non-survival?
"Look out! Zombies!"
Then you pull the right trigger to be quietly eaten and digested.
If we keep using the term, Halo is a "survival shooter", MGS is "survival stealth", etc.

And I completely misread that comment. Go me. Well, they brought the aliens to the light, right, but there's some other darkness right behind where the aliens were, and... You know what? I give up. Quick, someone else, say something clever!

That's pretty much what I said, if you read this glorified sales flyer, you are retarded. They are going to score reviews in line with whatever will move product, and the sheep will follow. Plus their timing sucks, I've had a game in my hand for a week when I got the GI issue that PREVIEWED it. Lame ass gamestop.

GTA comes out, games try to rip it off, Oblivion comes out, bunch of wanna-bes come out, Bioshock comes out, and this happens. How about this isn't a fresh IP, its cliche as hell.

You Effing morons really think they developed this game since Bioshock came out? Come on idiots it takes years to make a game. I find it truely unbelieable that so many people are willing to trash a game based on.....a magazine cover? Sure EA has made some crap no doubt, and sure you have nothing better to do than wait for mom to call you for dinner, but really, lets at least wait and see more than one still image before the snarking begins. just my 2c.
