Dead Space Extraction trailer goes on rails, maybe

EA has just released the first video for the Dead Space Wii remake called Dead Space Extraction. It has the usual things one would expect from a Dead Space game: scary things, scary voices and even a soiled seat after watching the entire trailer. However, what I didn’t expect was to see the game portrayed as a light shooter a la Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Don’t get me wrong, rail shooters can be fun, but when you’re expecting a full port of the 360/PS3 version, it’s hard not to get a little disappointed. When a better quality trailer is released, I’ll be sure to post it.

    Woops, you’re right. Fixed :P

    In my defense it was before I had my morning coffee. Forgive me? :)

    i’m actually okay with the on-rails decision, i think that it caters to what the Wii can do well, and allows it to focus on that. I guess my opinion is a little bias though, as owning multiple consoles would make me lean away from a direct port to Wii in comparison to the other options. I’ll consider picking this one up on launch day if it is looking good, where as I wouldn’t have picked up a port.

    The Wii can do third person shooters well, too, as shown by Resident Evil 4. I also think being on rails will probably hurt the atmosphere. Less freedom means less nervousness. :P

    But it’s probably going to be a perfectly good rail shooter anyway.
