Dead Space 2 Looks To Be In The Works (Who'd Of Thunk It??)

Their shipping Dante's next year and it looks like their in pre-production on the game based on a job listing found on Linkeldn ( here's the story from IGN).  This is unconfirmed, but... come on.
 
God, they really need to start posting company jobs and not specific game jobs. This leak via job listing thing is becoming all to prevalent these days.

I wonder if they'll actually make this one scary.

I thought Condemned was and I know Dead Space really tried its best to be scary. "

" @HandsomeDead: It was... tense. "

" @jakob187: I thought it was just a lot of speculation and that this seemed a little more concrete, but hey, I believe you. "

Dead Space wasn't particularly scary, but it did have a good amount of tension, and I actually preferred it that way. I'm not a big fan of real horror games.

Hells yea! Good news.

I hope they either get rid of your powers, or properly utilize them.  Using the time slow to just walk through malfunction doors was a bore.  I am also excited to see what they do with the zero G stuff.

I must be a huge pussy if this game isn't considered scary and I couldn't even get back to the elevator after fixing the tram without quitting for good.

I guess it all depends on what you're used to. As a long time fan of Silent Hill, Dead Space's flickering lights and loud "ITS SCARY NOW! BOO!" music and moments to me are more cute than scary.
The game does a good job at atmosphere and tension, but scary? As in "entering your dreams" and "not wanting to continue playing"-scary? No. The game is as much a horror game as Resident Evil 4.

Without trying to sound like I'm being overly harsh, I don't think it did a good job of the tension as it had the same tension in every room and in a game which is meant to keep you on your toes, I felt like I knew what to expect in nearly every possible way. It just made everything so samey.

Agreed, the monster encounters are far too regular and far too predictable to add to the tension. I was talking more about the level design, the lighting, the logs, and the general presentation of the ship that is very well done. Add to that the absence of out-of-game elements like HUDs or cutscenes and you get what people like most about the game.

Yeah, there is nothing new in Dead Space. Throw Metroid Prime, Resident Evil, Aliens and Event Horizon into a blender and voilá. It speaks for the game's polish that its still so entertaining and good.
