Only a handful of third-party titles can claim to be a commercial success on the Wii. Even fewer are given a second chance to become one on different platforms--and well after initial release, to boot. That's the rub that keeps me from believing EA Visceral'sDead Space Extraction will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3, but rumor suggests otherwise. And while persistence plus "no comment" doesn't equal validation, the most recent evidence to this game's existence on both platforms certainly lends credence to the whispers. 

As Kotaku reports (via NeoGAF), a rendering engineer has recently listed Dead Space Extraction XBLA and PSN as a title he's working on. The engineer's profile is barebones (and now gone), divulging little more than the fact that it Dead Space Extraction will be a "port," and his work on it started in February 2010 up at EA Montreal, the creators of brodacious titles like Army of Two.

sounds nice

interesting

A Wii port... Right.

if it supported natal in a meaningful way that would be enough for me (swaying with your body , simulating cutting off your own hand, also that would be the first game with finger-guns if it did natal)

Sure, i was gonna buy a wii for this game and silent hill, however if its coming to PSN and gets the game more 'sales' sure do it!!!

If it supported Natal or Move, then fine. But without any kind of light gun equivalent, Extraction would be absolute trash.

this may actually get me to buy the move. don't have a wii

" If it supported Natal or Move, then fine. But without any kind of light gun equivalent, Extraction would be absolute trash. "

This on Natal sounds like one of the best things ever (ok, I'm exaggerating). On the other hand, this on gamepad sounds like a clunky, stripped Wii port.

Yay!

I like the idea, I'm a huge Dead Space fan but I can't really play it on the Wii, an XBLA version would be awesome

" A Wii port... Right. "

This seems fine as long as they don't try and sell it as a full price retail game.

I'm really glad to hear about this, I love Dead Space but don't really like the Wii.
