Dead Space 2 Continues To Tease (Update 3)
See that little greenish pic up there? Well thats something Visceral wants us to spend days trying to solve. Over the next 2 weeks they will continue to further reveal just what that tiny little pic is showing. All we have so far is that that may be Mr. Clark in the middle surrounded by green necromorph snot. Maybe Issac is inside a big baddies nasal cavity. Only time will tell. So keep an eye on Dead Space 2’s official Facebook page. While we stare at it…for hours…
Update: And now for round 2. The previous image was a zoomed view of what we now see. We see teeth and saliva, so its pretty safe to assume this is a mouth of some sort of necromorph, we’re guessing a worm. Lets see if we are right.
Update 2: Another image, another round of “WHAT THE F**K IS THAT?!” We still go with the wormy body idea, but you can now see what was once its eyes and possibly nose. We still can’t tell what this necromoph was before it was changed but its safe to say this thing will hardly resemble its original form. This is the 2nd to last pic. Next week we will finally see the full figure. Until then, ponder away and cry inside.
Update 3: Well here is the final image guys. Yes, I was wrong. It was not a worm… Even so, this new necromorph is still pretty ugly. He sort of shares some traits with Resident Evil 3’s Nemesis. They both share that sever cleft lip thing. So what do you guys think? Is this new necromorph not as good as previous? Is it scary or just goofy?

Dead Space 2 Announced, Officially
What?, who?, when?, Dead Space 2?! Where did this come from?…No, but seriously, like if it wasn’t obvious enough EA has finally announced Dead Space 2. The press release promises that Isaac will be returning to kick some more necromorph ass in Zero-G environments and will meet some new characters along the way. Also, as suggested by the teaser image from Twitter, not everything is as it seems. Suggesting Isaac isn’t completely sane anymore and might be seeing things (more so than in his last adventure). No screens at this time but we expect some assets soon.

Twitter Account Teases Dead Space 2 (Update)
A new Twitter account simply called “deadspace” has been created and it’s first and only tweet links to what looks to be a Rorschach test with silhouettes of Necromorphs and what could be “The Marker”. Also below the is some writing in the mysterious alien language that littered the USG Ishimura’s walls. We tried to decipher the text using a cleaned translation guide but all we could get was this mess “THEMRIG7HTKREISO__R H_TITFIL_OTCND“.
The text on the image is very messy and we just can’t do it. If you feel like taking a shot then hit the forums with your results. With rumors of Dead Space 2 being unveiled in the next Official Playstation magazine, this new image surely gives fire to the rumor. We definitely expect an announcement very soon.
Update: User Aglaophotis has solved the riddle. It reads:

Dead Space 2 Entering Production Stages
This wouldn’t be the first time a job listing has let slip that something was up with Dead Space 2. Linkdin.com has a job listing for a “Lead Combat & Controls Designer” for Visceral Games. The game is toward the end of it’s pre production stages and will be entering full production mode in the coming months. Visceral just released it’s Wii prequel Dead Space Extraction and aren’t leaving much down time between the 2 titles. There seems to be a big emphasis on the fighting game genre, and brutal moves. Sounds perfect for Dead Space 2 (as long as its for beating off creatures and such, not a fighting game) Here is to seeing some new Dead Space content by 2010. Isaac, we miss you.

Dead Space team become Visceral Games, Dead Space 2 please
The team behind the horror hit Dead Space and upcoming Dante’s Inferno formerly known as EA Redwood Shores have changed their name from a less dull “some part of EA” name into something more personal with more of an identity to it – Visceral Games – and have adopted a nice x-ray skull logo. Nice.
Aside from working on Dante’s Inferno and the “not rail shooter” rail shooter version of Dead Space, Dead Space: Extraction, they are also working on two unannounced games. Of course we’re hoping for one of them to be Dead Space 2.
