Not bad, doubt it'll be as fun as L4D but I'll give it a go.
I just want the single player though.

I could care less about multiplayer in a game like this. Just give me an awesome single player and I would be happy. Damn shame I think that every game feels as though it has to add multiplayer nowadays, but sad fact of the matter is that maybe they do. =(

I hope this fails so we don't get more L4D clones. L4D sucks balls.

Looks cool would be better if it was a Horde/Firefight mode. I might be seeing things but the pack looks a bit taller in this then in the E3 stuff.

Left 4 Dead doesn't even have a proper single player mode.  Just sayin', for all those people talking about how Dead Space is ripping it off.  They are obviously different games.
 
Awesome trailer, and I'm always ready for more cooperative focused multiplayer.  Sign me up.

looking interesting so far though from this one specific video i do get the feeling that the necromorphs are way underpowered :P lets see how it ends up, obviously they have to be alot more versatile than the single player necromorphs!

The gameplay for the monsters looks a little annoying,  but who cares about that. This HD video is great! Well worth the investment. Thank you.

 I think it looks like it could be fun for a while, but it feels tacked on and unnecessary. The single player campaign is the reason people are going to buy this game, I don't understand why multi-player needs to be in games like Dead Space.

The game itself looks awsome--the multiplayer I don't know. It looks ok and odd at the same time but I just don't know.

I have to agree that this looks pretty unpolished. I was hoping for a more AvP-style direction for the multiplayer i.e low light, greater use of shadows, sounds etc;   fingers crossed for some interesting game-types. 
 
Loved the first game, so as long as the single player is better I'll be there for the sequel.

Can you say Singularity MP? 
 
No thanks. This is not why I will buy the game. I guess it's nice to have the opinion for others.

Yeah.. game devs would give a game called "alone in isolation world" multiplayer. That shit is screwed up.

Wow so this trend of playing as the enemy is picking up huh. First Left 4 Dead, then Singularity and now Halo: Reach (sort of), Dead Space 2 and Gears 3. 
 
edit: Also some of those player names are actually good. I would love to have the Gamertag "Plissken" or "and then some"

Getting major Left 4 Dead vibes off this trailer, but I have to wonder about how the multiplayer will be balanced. In L4D, the infected team has a horde of zombie grunts at their disposal. If the zombie team in this game is limited to attacking 4 at a time, I see no reason why the humans won't just tear them apart, what with having guns and all. That said, I'm still really excited for Dead Space 2.

First it was Gears of War 3 and now Dead Space 2. I personally love L4D and L4D2 so it's all good with me.

 You know...I'm still not sure what to think about this. It looks kinda cool, and a messed up, gruesome multiplayer actually sounds sort of neat, but it's definitely not what I'm buying the game for, and I hope they didn't have to divert resources from making the single player shine to make it. 
 
Though I suppose Uncharted 2's multiplayer was surprisingly good, so I'll give this one a chance. As long as I get to play as tentacle baby.

That was both awesome and hilarious, which is why I will only ever be playing as the leap-baby.
