Interactive Comic Prequel to Dead Space 2
Remember a few months back when EA was making waves about their plans for future downloadable titles? A big part of their plan was to include a "teaser" title that would launch before a larger, retail release. Meet the first game to follow EA's new online policy, Dead Space Ingition, an interactive comic-style game that according to EA will play out like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel.
The same author that penned the 2008 Dead Space comic series, Antony Johnson was brought on board to write the plot of Ignition. The game will introduce new characters and plot twists that will play out more in Dead Space 2. Through the Choose Your Own Adventure format there will be four separate endings available, each one giving you an exclusive suit for Isaac Clarke to use when you start up Dead Space 2.
It's not all Necromorphs however as 3 hacking mini games are available including Hardware Crack, Trace Route and System Overload. What any of those actually mean is anyone's guess right now.
While I am curious just how an interactive comic style game will work, I remain skeptical. More news should be available in the coming weeks while Dead Space 2 will not be hitting store shelves until January 25th, 2011. |

Wow. That actually sounds really cool. I used to LOVE Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was younger. It's cool that they have incorporated suits for Isaac to use too.
I probably shouldn't say this but....EA is actually doing something good here. I know. I just jinxed/ruined everything. Sorry ppl..... |

| Sounds fun. But, sadly, it is EA and I can't get it on principle. |

| Keep totalling getting everything a developer shoves down your throat and they will keep making you pay for what should be free |

| Yeah, I'm worried how much actual content will be in this game over fluff. If it really is a comic style game, I predict in 3 hours you'd have seen all 4 endings and unlocked every achievement. Watch them make the suits from this game be needed for an achievement in Dead Space 2. |

Look like we're seeing more of these types of things lately. Mass Effect Galaxy for the iPhone (at least, don't remember if anything else) was released before ME2 was, and gave the opportunity for expanded dialogue in the game. Also, NBA 2K10 Draft Combine is a way to give you the feel for the new game, plus create a player, export him to the main game, and most importantly, achievements.
These are like short interactive demo/trailers, but with achievements. I kind of like the crossover. Also, they have an incentive to make it good because it could potentially turn us off to the main game, which costs more and would hurt them a lot if gamers are turned off. |

| As a massive Choose Your Own Adventure/Fighting Fantasy/et al fanboy, the idea intrigues me. Looking forward to finding out more. |

| Ehhh... okay. We'll see how it will look like... but Dead Space is cool so this "comic" thing will probably be cool too. |
Awwww yeah |

| If it sucks and it affects achievements negatively, I can always buy it for the PS3 or just buy the game for the PS3, as Dead Space is probably the only EA game/series I'll buy. |
