The main prob imo is that people have a specific genre in mind when a new game in an existing IP is annoucend.
When the said a new Dead Space s coming everyone thought it would be having the same gameplay mechanics the franchise normally has. And i thought the same.
Lets imagine Nintendo anncounced SMG2 and you see the first trailer and its and on-rails Jump and Run. Everyone would think that this is bullshit because people have a predetermined imagination about existing brands.
And I say they rightfully have that. EA is only using the name Dead Space because it made so many people excited about a new game of the series. If they just had said that they are doing a Dead Space like game for Wii, nobody could be rightfully complaining if it turned out on-rails. But as it is right now it totally sux.
(I always wanted DS for my PS3 but after they said its coming to Wii I thought I would wait for that, because I thought it is the same genre. See thats what I mean with predetermination).
