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'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.

" Well I guess Microsoft has Activision and Sony has EA now. "

I said those exact words when I was watching the conference. EA is all about the PS3  "
I said them today, but though it yesterday with all the zooming in on ps3 controllers during the EA conference. "
And whenever they showed box art - Dead Space for example - it was a PS3 Blu-ray box. I knew something was up. 3rd parties always use 360-related stuff in their demos. Interesting... could this be why Gabe Newell had to practically apologize to Sony? Valve is an EA partner. "
Have you heard the things Gabe's said about the PS3 in the past? Oh god.  "
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. He wanted to put out the TF2 DLC for free but Microsoft wouldn't have it.  I guess Sony gives him more freedom in that respect. He said they were more "open." Hopefully this means free Portal 2 DLC for PS3!  "
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.

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?!

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.

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

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