EA Announces Dead Space 2
Dawdle was right in his prognosticatorial premonitious prophecy: EA has just officially announced Dead Space 2 after teasing it on Twitter over the weekend.
Industrial hero Isaac Clarke returns for round two versus the corpse-defiling Necromorphs, and with him you can expect to see all kinds of new power tools re-appropriated for carnage, more fun in zero G, and more space terror than you can shake a plasma cutter at. Visceral Games is working on the game, which will appear on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
EA is making sure you have all the Dead Space 2 stimulus your package can handle: catch Isaac on Twitter, and the game on Facebook as well as its own actual site.
EA ANNOUNCES DEAD SPACE 2
Sequel to Award-Winning Horror Game Delivers Intense, Personal Saga that Sends Chills through Deep Space
Guildford, UK - December 7, 2009 - Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio announced today that the award-winning Dead Space™ franchise will continue to frighten gamers with its stunning sequel, Dead Space 2. Isaac Clarke returns for another heart-pounding adventure, taking the fight to the Necromorphs in this thrilling action-horror experience. New tools to gruesomely slice and dismember the Necromorphs complement Isaac's signature plasma cutter, empowering him as he meets new characters, explores epic zero-G environments, and fights against a relentless Necromorph onslaught. Survival isn't the only thing on Isaac's mind in Dead Space 2 - this time, he calls the shots.

In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you."

I love Isaac Clarke, really, he's a great character. Or maybe it is the suit. But at the same time it feels wrong to play with a character that has zero sanity left.
