Electronic Arts has narrowed its previously announced fall release window for Dead Space Extraction. The Wii-exclusive experiment is set to slice into retail shelves (and necromorphs' limbs) in North America on September 29. Adventurers overseas have a bit more waiting to do, with the game expected to ship in Europe on October 2.
Extraction promises a number of new features over the original Dead Space, including co-op gameplay as well as new weapons and enemies. We were left impressed following our recent time with the upcoming "guided first-person shooter experience," and assuming our limbs can take all that twisting we look forward to turning back the alien scourge this fall.

I'm a Dead Space fan and this has my attention, but I won't get too excited just yet until I hear/see more about this one.

Me, too, but I hate on-rails games that aren't called Star Fox. If you want to see more, check this out.

Yeah, I've already checked that out. Thanks though. But I need MOAR still!
I will agree, but the main reason I'm interested is that this seems like they are going for more. Trying to get more immersive and lose the feeling like you can't control any of the action. Hope they pull it off.
I wasn't a big fan of Umbrella Chronicles, so we'll see.
Also, Star Fox should never be called on-rails. I prefer to call the genre that Star Fox is in as "awesomeness"

have to wait (just another week), and see what the rest of that period looks like, but depending on the schedule, this'll make my buy list. I'm generally turned off by sci-fi horror games (prefer supernatural horror, not viral/zombie horror), but what i saw of Dead Space was actually quite good, reminiscent of the more atmospheric parts of Metroid Prime.

You have to play the one for PS3/360. I'd venture as far as to say it's the best survival horror game since Resident Evil 4 (Haven't played 5.)

I'll admit, not having played the original, this game has still managed to intrigue me. Hope it goes well!

You really should play the original. It's my personal "Best game of 2008"
I even made a trophy for it. It looks so pretty.

i guess wii fans are used to low res and super pixelated graphics from the doom 64 era

You said they looked like Super NES graphic earlier. Now they are N64-like?

From what I've seen of both games, I'd say extraction looks better.

okay wii babby fanboys, vote me down but you know it in your heart that this is true and it will be a 3 hour game with no replayability and looks like a turd that is waiting to be burgled.

You know if you are going to ramble on like that, could you at least reply to your own comments. That way, all your bullshit can be contained on one section of the page.

@smooky:
If you used your head instead of your heart, you'd know that Visceral Entertainment said Extraction would be as long as the original, which would be 10 hours. I've read a couple of recent previews that indicated it might be 12 hours.

There is nothing wrong with On-Rails games if done right. Just look at Killer 7.

They don't have to. Other platforms have a decent enough programming architecture that they can make free environments and not be hampered by every single flaw that keeps the Wii from offering those same titles. Therefore you end up with a rail shooter that its going to flop.

yeah, those open world segments where my favorite part of Dead Space. They were a nice break from the cramped corridors that funneled you from point A to point B throughout the entire game.

Troll fail is is fail.
If you actually watch the videos, the environments are fully created. The choice of an on rails shooter is a design choice.
Just like random battles or realtime battles in RPGs.
Stop being stupid... Ah... You know what. I'm sorry, i tell trolls to shut up or contribute to the Internet, but that's kind of an oxymoron in itself..
