Dead Space 2 Fun With Limbs

If you’re familiar with Dead Space, which you should be, then you should also be used to the amount of dismembered limbs that lay in waste throughout the game. Executive producer, Steve Papoutsis had a few words on how these decimated pieces of flesh will come in handy during the sequel.

“Imagine if you will,” Steve proposes, “Slice off limb, slasher blade, TK (telekinesis) the slasher blade, shoot slasher blade at the enemy, nail enemy to the wall.” Then he made bang bang noises. He’s obviously extremely excited about this. “That way if you run out of ammo, you can just go for some limbs.”

One Of The Hardest Trailers I Seen In A Long Time

Much like it did with Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft is making a short film to help promote the upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. This isn’t a clip from that movie. It is, instead, simply a trailer for the game.

As a piece of film, it’s pretty good. As an exercise in game promotion, however, it takes the kind of work done by the Halo:ODST trailer and not only runs with it, it runs it into another timezone, doing a fantastic job of selling not only the setting and the tone, but the kind of weapons and tech to be found in the game, and even a re-assuring nod that, while Future Soldier is set in the future, it’s grounded in reality.

Can’t wait to see the rest of it.
