EA Launching a New Sci-Fi Horror Title - Dead Space

It looks like developers still have faith in developing games for the PlayStation 3. EA has just announced that they've been working on a game called Dead Space for quite some time now, over at their Redwood Shores Studio. The game is set for a Fall 2009 release, jumping from the sci-fi horror genre on to Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360.

The official description says that the game enables gamers to step into a third-person sci-fi survival horror experience that promises to deliver psychological thrills but also gruesome action.

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.

"This team has worked on some tremendous properties but we have always wanted to work on something that was darker and creepier," said Executive Producer Glen Schofield. "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."

Now remember, Dead Space is currently under development over at EA's Redwood Shores studios, being expected to ship sometime during the fall of 2008 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The game hasn't yet been rated or priced, but there's an official website already up and going for it, so you might as well check it out and see if there's more stuff that interests you.
