PS3-Exclusive Version of Dead Space Will Include Extraction

This is what you get for believing.

Rumors of a HD Dead Space: Extraction port have been swirling since the dinosaurs choked on cosmic dust, but now some can be put to rest. A PS3 version of Dead Space: Extraction with PS Move support will be shipped alongside a PS3-exclusive limited edition bundle of Dead Space 2.

The Visceral Games crew and Sony didn't have much to divulge about the title other than the fact that it would be included on the Dead Space 2 game disc, lending some credence to rumors that pegged Dead Space: Extraction as a downloadable-sized title. Questions as to if the game will ever make its way to PSN or even Xbox Live Marketplace weren't addressed during the briefing.

No Caption Provided
When publishers start throwing around words like "exclusive," it's best to take said exclusivity with a grain of salt. The Dead Space: Extraction downloadable port rumors were particularly persistent and have earned some cred with this announcement. There seems like there's still a chance we could see Extraction in other places.     
 
Dead Space 2 ships January 28, 2011.

I want to play Dead Space 2 on Xbox for the achievements, I hope Extraction comes as an XBL download.

I think that's a really good deal as long the price for the limited edition is somewhere between $69 or at the least 79$.

well ive been getting my multi plats on ps3, but this really seals the deal for dead space 2.
 
and this was rated for the ESRB for psn and xbla, its just free here i guess (well, not free, depending on what the limited edition costs). But yeah, that game from the Rez creator showed that on rails shooting works fine with kinect

Awesome deal! Dead Space Extraction is one hell of a great game, it's fantastic that more people get to play it now. GET THIS, PS3 OWNERS!

 
 I read somewhere (can anyone confirm) that this had support for the regular controller as well?

I cannot imagine Extraction being played with a controller. Also you miss out on the best reload mechanic in any game, ever.

Effing SOLD! I was just thinking when I heard the news... "What's the point with Dead Space 2 coming?"  Awesome, now I can justify getting a move, for one game and one game alone! Come on now, lets get an HD version of 'Muramasa - The Demon Blade' as well?!

Word. Not just casual critique, he fuckin' verbally curb-stomped the PS3. But what a turnaround! I guess Gabe ate his words when he realized how strict Microsoft is.

If Gabe Newell ate his words, he must have said a lot of things. 
But seriously I love Gabe he's a great guy great company.

I'd probably play Extraction if it were on PSN just for the arm sawing minigame, but I have no interest in playing Dead Space proper.  Something about the controls and the camera angle just doesn't feel right.

So, will this be a trilogy pack or just Dead Space 2 and Dead Space: Extraction? Extraction was a prequel to the first game, right? Seems weird to package two games together that are missing the middle of the chronological story.

This seems pretty cool.  I'm actually pretty stoked to check out Move.  Can't get that excited about Kinect, maybe once it's out I'll feel different.

Super excited.  I played the first three levels of Extraction one day and was super impressed, but trophy/achievement guilt kept me from coming back.  Not any longer.
 
It's too bad Nintendo is such a staunchly Japanese company, because having some sort of Wiichievements would get me playing more than Silent Hill and old Resident Evils.
 
For the record, I'd probably have an S-Rank in Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

I read somewhere (can anyone confirm) that this had support for the regular controller as well? If so, I'd expect to see this on XBLA. Also this Kotaku report on the rumor shows a resume someone wrote which mentions working on the port. It refers to the port as (PSN/XBLA). Details here:
 http://kotaku.com/5554809/dead-space-extraction-hd-guiding-its-way-to-ps3-xbox-360 
 
What do you guys think of the chances that I can download this on 360 and play it with a standard controller? I have it on Wii but playing with HD visuals would be worth giving up the motion control.

@Kajaah117:  I was thinking this BUT, EA would be stupid to try and pressure Valve into doing anything. They're like Blizzard to Activision, at this point they can more then likely sustain themselves without anyone else. EA just makes it a bit cheaper.

 By any chance you mean Kinect? 
  
 If so then let me ask you an hypothetical question. How do you shoot?  ( Silly solutions are valid, but will remain silly)

Too bad it didn't shake out the opposite way.  I wasn't planning on buying Activision games anymore so early DLC doesn't mean anything to me.
