EA SET TO REENTER THE DEPTHS OF SPACE WITH DEAD SPACE EXTRACTION
The Panic Before the Terror Starts Hitting Store Shelves on September 29th
Redwood City, CA - May 28, 2009 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and its Visceral Games(tm) studio announced today that Dead SpaceTM Extraction, will be available in stores on September 29, 2009 in North America and October 2, 2009 in Europe exclusively for the Wii(tm). Dead Space Extraction delivers the highly-polished, action-horror experience the Dead Space franchise is known for while upping the ante for technical excellence on the Wii with some of the best visuals ever showcased on the platform.
"Our team is really excited to bring the intensity of the Dead Space universe to an entire new audience," said Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis. "We are going to deliver the same high quality, cinematic experience we delivered in the original Dead Space, while also adding co-op, new enemies, weapons and taking advantage of all of the unique features the Wii has to offer."
Developed at EA's award-winning Visceral Games studio, Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game introduces Lexine, an important new heroine, to the Dead Space universe. Players will play as the crew who falls victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, with it quickly becoming clear that protecting Lexine will be their only hope for survival.

I like this timing. By beating the glut of Oct-Nov-Dec titles, Dead Space Extraction will definitely earn some playtime in the Rudden household.

Yeah I dunno how the Wii can get a prequel for a game they never had. Oh well. I just hope it actually moves some copies of a Mature game for once. If it is anywhere near as good as the first one it should be a solid game. I wonder what they will do for the graphics, if they will actually push the Wii and put out a nice looking game. Or put out a very ugly iteration. Time will tell.

Hey they changed the release date it doesn't come out on my birthday anymore oh well. Can't to get this game for those of you who like the idea of Dead Space:Extraction i just have to say one thing the metal gear game (Metal Gear Solid Rising) is coming out on the Xbox 360 thats something that i don't like but i like MGS so i have POSITIVE thoughts about the game. (But you what it's easier to get a 360 game ported to a PS3 then it is for a Wii game to be ported to another console so ohhh.)
