Visceral Games' Dead Space 2 may not be the next game you play in the sci-fi franchise. Recent surveys point to an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network port of Wii misfire Dead Space Extraction and something brand new, Planet Cracker.

One survey's description of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 port of Dead Space Extraction indicates that any planned port of the game would feature the same on-rails "guided first-person experience" gameplay, pitched as an "interactive horror experience" in "full HD." A tentative price of $15 USD was mentioned in the survey forwarded to Kotaku.

Another title, known as Planet Cracker, was potentially more interesting. Described as a "resource strategy game where players will manage a CEC Mining operation," Planet Cracker focuses players on attempting to "maximize their daily profit" and "defending their hard-won ore from Space Pirates." Sounds like Ore Tycoon aboard the USG Ishimura.

Planet Cracker was billed in the survey as an extension to the story of Dead Space 2 and could yield "in-game rewards" for the retail version of the sequel, similar to the Fable II Pub Games that preceded Lionhead's role-playing game and netted players in-game gold.

Both Dead Space Extraction HD and Planet Cracker were listed a possible incentives for Dead Space 2 that could be unlocked to those who pre-purchased the game.

While the survey appears legitimate, EA's plans may change, so we're labeling this information as rumor until any official announcements are made. We've contacted Electronic Arts to get clarification but have not yet heard back.

If this were to happen it'll probably be around the time Natal and Arc launch.

I hope those people who don't own a Wii enjoy their GUIDED FIRST PERSON EXPERIENCE.

That piece of shit isn't even worth it at $15

Yeah I'm still bitter from the time before the gameplay was revealed and it was just "Wii getting a new Dead Space game." I wish EA would hurry up and go bankrupt

that would be sweet

one of the best Wii games ever made heading over to the HD boys? Sure lets share teh wealth

Yes, plz.

Hahaha! cAPSLOCK, U are soooo funny! I mean, it was a pretty good game w some amazing story and gameplay! Idk what u're talking about but I think it's good news more ppl will enjoy it! =D AMAZING GAME!

if it was 15$ when it launched on wii it would have been worth it. i wont pay more than 20 for it myself.

Honestly I'm a huge fan of light gun games (my youth was me wasting quarters playing HotD 2 player with me controlling both guns) but man Dead Space Extraction impressed my friend way more than it did me... you'd meet a character, that character would die, you never felt anything for said character so their death was meaningless, then it tried to combine Dead Space gameplay and lightgun gameplay which is basically arcade love through and through, and it didn't work for me.  Not to mention the bugs... not a lot mind you but they're there...

Visually I was impressed though, like when the mining crew was in the suits it looked just as good as they did on PS3/360 it really looked above and beyond the normal Wii game. 

It might actually sell on PSN/XBLA cause they wouldn't charge 50 dollars for it and there's been like one lightgun game total on the PS3, some people like my friend will like it, I however will stick to HotD Overkill that's a game that HD only owners should beg for lol

$15, that doesn't show much confidence in their own product.
