Dead Space 2 Trailer Gives Isaac a Voice

This video "interview" with Dead Space 2 executive producer Steve Papoutsis provided by Electronic Arts details some of the changes being made to the sequel to the original third-person horror shooter.

First, protagonist Isaac Clarke will be getting a voice, which the developers hope will strengthen the game's narrative. Secondly, the Javelin Gun will let the player pin enemies to walls, subsequently setting them on fire or electrocuting them.

Dead Space 2 will be released in early 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, which was recently confirmed by EA after some doubt.

I feel like they just wait for BS to drop a game, wait some time then drop a game just like it. I mean they boasted the javelin gun, which to me sounds like the spear gun from BS2 except it can electrocute people. Will there be an awful tacked on MP to go with this as well?

Neat. They really should have done this in the first game. The story about his wife was never going to work with a silent protagonist.

I'm iffy on the voice. I prefer games where it's my OWN thoughts. Like System Shock. I played through Dead Space on the Wii and the voice overs really didn't do the game justice, of course neither did it being a rail-shooter. But I like RE4 and it had VO.

Anyways, I should reserver my judgement though until after I play DS2 on my PC! :)

Still playing the original and loving it. Im still not clear on where this will be set though. I love how the original took place on a ship (non static setting.)
