Since its reveal in December 2009, Dead Space 2 has been in the minds of horror fans. Even lovers of epic action can appreciate the sequel to 2008′s Dead Space, as developer Visceral Games has promised action at the height of the Uncharted series. With the debut of Dead Space 2‘s gameplay, they weren’t lying either.
The first gameplay video of Dead Space 2 has gotten online, which was filmed at Visceral Games‘ Dead Space 2 PAX panel. Based on the video, the promise of action similar to Uncharted will be kept.

Dead Space 2 is scheduled for release in Q1 2011.

Yeah looks like the took the U2 train sequence too…
Iron man much?
Hope they improve on what made Dead Space 1 great, you know, the survival horror aspects.
Ha! something tells me that this sequel will get much criticism for straying far from the 1st one. Resident Evil 5 anyone?
WOW! This is way different from the 1st and doesn’t look scary at all. Looks like we have a Dark Void/Iron Man mixed with Uncharted game coming our way. I really don’t know what to think of this…hopefully it gets better.
I have a feeling this will be one of those sequels where the publisher wants to appeal to more people to get better sales than the first, so they will dial down the horror to put in more action. They know most horror fans will buy it to begin with because they have high hopes after playing the first and they want to try to appeal to action fans so the original Dead Space fans will be left disappointed. Hopefully I’m wrong for all you horror fans out there but this is published by EA isn’t it?
some where Tony Stark is mad as hell that someone stole his tech

@ giese095 agreed
I can already hear them talk about dead space 3. After dead space 2 “dead space 2 was more action and less scary than the original, so in dead space 3 we decided to go back to the roots and make it even scarier than the first” At that time they would already have fans of horror games and fans of action games such as Uncharted.

dead space was scary? hmm news too me!
Dead Space was good for a quick scare when playing by yourself in a dark room with a huge HDTV,,, yes… but after the first run through the game you knew where all the scare points were, it lost that… and upon losing that, it lost a lot of its appeal, because then you start to notice the gameplay flaws… like your total lack of mobility, how some weapons were totally useless, and how that scare thing was what made it interesting in the first place. I’m hoping that improvements on the gameplay will make up for the “less scaryness” thats coming… and yet, hope that the scary parts are less predictable on the second run, so you can still get that “holy shit” rush going.
Afterthought – how can you judge how scary it is from this not even 60 second video? Really what you get from it is how much more mobile Isaac will be, which really was the main issue with the first game… it looks like a great improvement. Otherwise its not “way different”, in fact, besides his little jets there, the environment, enemy, weapon, etc, all look exactly the same.
I don’t know. A lot of things looked very true to the first game- the camera, texture, lighting and art style were all on point with the first. With less that 45 seconds of game play, I’m not ready to make an assumption on the fear factor of this.
Isaac had mobility issues in the first game?? He could walk AND shoot!!!
