EA has announced a new sci-fi/horror game called DEAD SPACE, a new original intellectual property by their Redwood Shores Studio. The game will be a third person horror survival game set for the PS3 and Xbox360 in 2008. 

Set in the cold blackness of deep space, the atmosphere is soaked with a feeling of tension, dread and sheer terror. In Dead Space, players step into the role of engineer Isaac Clarke – an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It is not long before Isaac awakes to a living nightmare when he learns that the ship’s crew has been ravaged by a vicious alien infestation. He must fight through the dead silence and darkness of deep space to stay alive.

Executive Producer Glen Schofield commented, “This team has worked on some tremendous properties but we have always wanted to work on something that was darker and creepier. We are all such huge fans of the horror and sci-fi genres; we wanted to create the most terrifying game we could, and keep the player on the edge of his seat the entire time.”

Under development at EA Redwood Shores, Dead Space is expected to ship in late 2008 for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system.

Umm...how is this an original idea? "Lets take a working-class schlub and put him in an area with Aliens and he has to fight his way out". It's a combination of Doom (space) and Half-life (working-guy/alien invasion).

Great reading comprehension there. It's says it's a third person survival horror game in the second sentence.

"...the ship’s crew has been ravaged by a vicious alien infestation" Call me crazy but I bet the infestation somehow mutates the crew into horrific creatures intent on violently attacking non-infected people. I'm really looking forward to playing the protagonist and fighting my way thru dead silence.

I will give almost any game a shot. Especially if it involves me with a gun. This sounds like a mix of Aliens and Doom3...But I am down. I have not been very pleased with some of the recent FPS besides HL2 and CoD4

This sounds like a mix between Event horizon/Aliens/ & probably a bunch of other scifi/horror flicks & throw in some elements from Doom & bam you got this game...
