I approve. Rail shooters ftw.

And so vanishes all my excitement for this game... D:

killer7 was on rails. >_>

So is House of the Dead: Overkill which I'm really enjoying right now... it's just... I dunno... D: I WANT THE REAL DEAD SPACE. ;o;

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy Umbrella Chronicles. It's just kind of annoying that they say they're making Dead Space, which we all know as a third person survival horror game, and turn it into an on rails shooter. It makes me feel fooled.

The game looks really good though. I'm not going to dismiss it.

I want to know what from the trailer was in-game. I'm not a huge fan of light gun games. It seems like some developers are just doing things to make the Wii look more obsolete. Dead Rising and now this?

I'm pretty sure all of it was in-game.

You guys DID know this was a game that was merely within the lore of Dead Space, and not an actual remake, right?

They have a ******** movie out of Dead Space.

They're making it a franchise.

I'm awaiting the Fallout 3-esque RPG. You know it's going to happen.

How can it be an on-rail shooter when Dead Space isn't even really a shooter?  

[Nomega]

Well the fact that it's a rail-shooter means that the graphics won't be any worse than the real dead space, so I'm all for this idea biggrin

True, but you could move back and forth and turn around at will on those rails.
It's the freedom maaaaaaan!
I mean a lot games are pretty linear in their levels but it's just annoying when you can't control where your character is going and you don't get to explore.

XC Screw it I'm just buying Dead Space for the 360.

....Technically, it's a TPS, third person shooter. That's like saying that Gears of War isn't a shooter. O_o

I was saying that killer7 was on rails and it was awesome, so maybe this will be awesome.

So it's going to have a rail system like Killer 7 then?
