If you are a fan of Dead Space and looking forward to the release of the next chapter, Dead Space 2, then this creepy trailer will help you make it through to January 2011.
Dead Space 2 is a survival horror game that takes place on a densely populated space station, dubbed the “Sprawl”. The game will begin in a hospital on board the Sprawl, and players will witness the horror of the Necromorph infection as it begins in the station.
The Setting and Atmosphere
The Sprawl is a massive space station built on the remains of Saturn’s moon, Titan. Unlike the isolated and claustrophobic setting of the USG Ishimura in the first game, the Sprawl is a bustling metropolis with schools, churches, and shopping districts. This change in setting introduces new dynamics and challenges, as players will navigate through both public and private sectors of the station, each with its own unique atmosphere and threats.
The developers have put a significant amount of effort into creating a more immersive and terrifying experience. The game features improved graphics, more detailed environments, and a dynamic lighting system that enhances the eerie atmosphere. The sound design also plays a crucial role in building tension, with unsettling noises and whispers that keep players on edge.
Gameplay and Mechanics
Dead Space 2 retains the core gameplay mechanics of its predecessor, including the strategic dismemberment of enemies. Players must target specific limbs of the Necromorphs to effectively neutralize them. However, the sequel introduces new weapons and tools to aid in combat, such as the Javelin Gun, which can impale enemies and electrocute them.
The game also features new enemy types that require different strategies to defeat. For example, the Stalker is a fast and cunning Necromorph that hunts in packs, forcing players to stay vigilant and adapt their tactics. Additionally, the game includes more zero-gravity sections, allowing for more freedom of movement and adding another layer of complexity to the gameplay.
Another significant addition is the multiplayer mode, which pits players against each other in team-based matches. One team plays as humans, while the other controls various types of Necromorphs. This mode adds replayability and offers a different perspective on the game’s mechanics.
Dead Space 2 will be arriving on a console Xbox 360, PS3, or PC near you in January 2011.
