EA's new sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space had been pegged for an October 31 release date since February, but the company today announced the game will be released a week earlier.

According to the European arm of the publisher, development of the game at EA Redwood Shores finished ahead of schedule, and in Europe the game will now ship October 24 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version is still set for an October 31 release.

It is expected that the North American release of the game will ship earlier as well, but confirmation has yet to arrive.

Seriously, one week isn't going to make the game suddenly better. Even if one change is made that would improve the game it'll take longer then a week to implement if you'll ever notice it usually. Moreover, the game will need to be done and in production way before hand, this could easily be a move on EA's part and doesnt effect what the the developers are doing anyways.

I admire a developer that's got enough sense to say, this is good enough to ship now. Extra production and polish is great, but knowing in advance what needs to be done and getting it done even ahead of schedule is just great planning.

......Assuming the game doesn't end up sucking :P

There is no game on earth that couldn't benefit from more time spent on it.

I was going to make a snarky remark about how if it's not earlier for the PC, then it's not really early at all, but honestly I'm just glad it's coming out for the PC.

I like being able to turn and aim. :(
