I thought the game was a couple of months out, and I was going to use that time to decide whether or not I was going to pre-order it. I probably won't now. I don't know what I'll do. :(
The original Dead Space is one of my all-time favorite games and I'll be super bummed if this one is a total flop. I mean, they have to do something right. I didn't like DS2 as much as I liked the first, but it had it's highlights (Gunner Wright did an awesome job voicing Isaac, apart from making him an athlete they fixed up the mechanics pretty nicely, and the Sprawl had some nice, diverse elements and was overall interesting). I've always liked the settings and Tau Volantis lives up to that, at least. It just doesn't look like it will work well.
Watching gameplay videos of uninteresting dialogue, "pulping", and the two playable characters doing flips and rappelling is breaking my heart yo
