Tidbits from a chat with Dead Space: Extraction‘s production team dropped a few tidbits, which add up to promises that the title will be a full game on its own, not a warmed-over port.
According to Skewed & Reviewed:
• Dead Space Extraction will take “about as long as it took rummy 51 players to play through Dead Space,” according to someone unnamed on EA’s production team. If that’s so, they’re building a rail shooter (yeah, it’s a rail shooter) to last a dozen hours or so. It’ll be interesting to see how they do that without getting boring or repetitive.
• New areas of Aegis VII (the mining colony where the infection breaks out) and the ship Ishimura will be revealed.
• The co-op mode rummy best will allow a second player to jump in mid-session, rather than require both players to start the mission rummy golds together from the beginning.
• Vague promises of new weapons, badder enemies, different bosses to battle, etc.
