Facial animations look slightly deformed and unattractive. This is also where the game’s art style is revealed and it’s not quite what I expected for a game pegged as an interactive comic. A “that’s what she said” reference is thrown in the mix to give you a sense of the tone. It kicks off with cheeky dialogue between our main character, Franco, a space engineer with a deep knowledge of circuitry, and a woman who goes by Anderson, a pair that appear to have some sort of history between them.

I got hands-on time with the demo shown during EA’s studio press conference. To whet the appetites of hardcore Dead Space fans before the sequel’s release next year, Visceral Games in conjunction with Sumo Digital will add a downloadable title to the franchise explaining the events leading up to Dead Space 2.ĭead Space Ignition is an interactive graphic novel with “choose your own adventure” style gameplay that will branch out into four different endings depending on the storyline branches you take.

The success of the original Dead Space launched a massive fan following that spawned a comic series, an on-rails shooter, and a highly anticipated sequel to further expand the lore.
