Visceral Games have finally started hinting out some "useful" info on the upcoming classic horror game. They've even released a trailer which briefly explains what the next game will be about... Unfortunately all the captions in this trailer are in the alien text but not to worry, IGN have translated it for us anyway :)

From what I've read, the story begins with Issac is in a mental institute (I'm sure anyone who went through what he did will eventually wind up in the crackhouse anyway). Noone believes his stories... until of course the inevitable arrival of the necromorphs.

As any sequel to a videogame, there will be new weapons and improvements in the graphics/physics as well as a more controllable zeroG-jump (player can supposedly now move sideways/fly during the jump instead of just the one direction). The story will also go into more detail about the history of the Unitology and that damned marker.

One thing to note is that Issac actually has a voice in this one - and his suit looks way cooler/more badass.

I can't wait for this, I loved the first one as it always put you into constant suspense and that's what horror classified games should contain.

I guess the suit design was probably because Issac being an engineer and not some combat marine.

Found this gamespot interview with the executive producer of Dead Space 2. He explains some more changes they're doing with the game. You also see a couple of screenshots too. Looks like some of the original enemies are back in it, as well as the good ol' plasma cutter.

A more detailed gameplay trailer. I know you'll enjoy this Nathan.

Check out the Javelin. It pins the necro into the wall (roughly 2:15 into the clip). It also shows the city that Issac will go through - looks fkn EPIC.

btw, there's a part 2 to this clip on its way within the next couple of days.

First one was brief as it didnt tell you much until you were pretty far into the game to actually realise exactly what the hell was going on.

Nevertheless, an awesome game especially when you play it late at night locked in your room, lights off, surround sound on loud...man that keeps the adrenaline pumping through your body the whole time.

+1

Playing it this is the way to get the most enjoyment out of the game. If you only have a small TV with no surround sound, you may as well play resident evil.

It's one of those games where you'd shit you fkn pants if you were actually stuck in that situation... That being said, if I were Issac, I'd upgrade my suit and stay inside the upgrade hatch. F**k going back out.

I'd hate to be him in the second game having already gone through all the shit he went through in the first one. STUFF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like this game that is so horrible one. I like its all characters as specially Isaac Clarke which is the main character and silent protagonist of this game. Nicole Brennan,Isaac's girl friend is also a wonderful character. The graphics and animations are too entertaining of this game.

Okay Dead Space 2 is now available for preorder through EB games $98. (Gamestop US has it for only $58 USD)

This being said, a collector's edition will also be available although I don't know how much (Gamestop US is selling it for $78 USD). It will contain a replica plasma cutter (why not a real one??), a soundtrack, an animation cell and obviously exclusive downloadable content.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
