Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 is the sequel to the 2008 surprise hit Dead Space. A third-person Survival Horror game, Dead Space 2 is in development and is due for release in 2011, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. EA has confirmed the Isaac Clarke will still be the protagonist.
More Information
Set three years after the first game (Dead Space), the player will once again take control of Isaac Clarke as he continues his fight against the Necromorph threat. Isaac continues to be plagued by disturbing visions brought on by his encounter with the marker in the previous game. The church of Unitology and the government will continue to have an important role in the story.
Visceral Games has said that Isaac will be taking the fight to the Necromorphs, suggesting a much more aggressive style of gameplay than what was seen in the original Dead Space. Isaac Clarke will also have lines of dialogue in the upcoming game. You can still expect the familiar formula of the original, consisting of dark corridors as well as open zero-G environments; tactical dismemberment with hard hitting sci-fi guns; major plot twists and lots of heart-pounding scares throughout. The game will be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in Q1 2011.
Gameplay
Four new enemies have been revealed so far. The first is the Stalker, which is formidable when attacking in groups but weak and cowardly if caught alone. The Pack is another enemy which behaves similarly to the Stalker in that is also chooses to attack in groups instead of by itself. The Crawler is a monster resembling a baby, reminiscent to some of the necromorphs in the first game; what separates this monster from its predecessor is that it explodes on impact with the player. The final new enemy is the Cyst. This creature can be found attached to surfaces all around the game; it lacks and mobility, but it can shoot out an explosive pod if the player gets too close to it.

Marketing
As part of a build up campaign to Dead Space 2's release, Visceral Games ran a competition via Facebook to get your face in the game by creating a piece of text, video or artwork detailing a melee kill by Isaac Clarke. The winner, chosen from ten finalists, will have their face put on a character in the game who will meet a rather violent end.
