Honestly, I am much happier with Dead Space as a rails shooter than the new Resident Evil game.  A few thoughts:

 

  • Novel Concept:  We've already had 3 or 4 zombie shooters on the Wii.  I know Dead Space is essentially Space Zombies, but the space colony setting, the vent traveling, zero gravity and others will be intereseting to see in a rails environment.
  • Hardware Limitations:  Strategic dismemberment is an integral part of Dead Space, and I'm not sure if the Wii could handle a full 3D application of it.  Being on-rails might allow the game to not compromise w/r/t dismemberment.
  • Co-op:  My girlfriend would hide in the other room when I played Dead Space.  Now she can blast Necros with me
  • Pushing the Genre:  Look at what Dead Space did to the core gameplay of Resident Evil 4.  One can hope that DS:E will similarly push the boundraies of the rail shooting genre

Again, the game could be crap.  But I think there's definitely enough promise that I'm holding out hope!

I WISH i could get my gf to play a rail-shooter with me. She freaks out when i play RE: 4 wii edition. I'm getting REmake for wii though so we'll see how that goes.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
