Dead Space: Extraction

Dead Space: Extraction is an upcoming video game for the Wii that serves as a prequel to the 2008 video game Dead Space. It will be published by EA Games. Extraction will be developed by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores) with assistance from Eurocom. It had been in development for at least a year before it was formally announced on February 18, 2009. The game takes place before the events of Dead Space and the animated film Dead Space: Downfall. It revolves around a group of space colonists fighting against a strange infection. The game also introduces a new female protagonist to the series.

Extraction is a first-person rail shooter that is set to introduce new enemies, characters, weapons and environments to the series. However, Redwood has promised a new experience to standard rail shooters, hinting at new gameplay aspects to the genre, and dubbed it, "A guided first person experience". Some elements that differentiate it from a standard rail shooter are the inclusion of puzzles and branching pathways, making it more of an adventure game than an arcade-style shooter. Players will also have some degree of control over the camera. The gameplay uses the pointer function of the Wii Remote to aim at enemies. Twisting the Wii Remote will activate a weapon's secondary firing mode, and melee attacks are performed by swinging the Wii Remote. Features from the original game like stasis, dismemberment, and zero gravity will remain and will stay critical to gameplay. Extraction will also have drop in/drop out co-op play.
