Game looks hot as hell.

Dismemberment FTW.

Looks awesome. 

I'd like to hear more about the story.  It sounds like it could be interesting.  I imagine they'll play it out in a Metroid Prime / Bioshock kind of way with audio logs and whatever.

Looks ok but I want to see some actual game play rather than "ooh spooky" cutscenes before I get all hyped about it.

It's survival horror so I would imagine the core gameplay will be like what we've seen in snippets here and there - you walk around slowly and aim RE4 style.

The dismemberment tactics, lack of one-shot kills, and zero gravity should spice it up a bit though.

I wouldn't mind a good emulation of classic sci-fi horror though. Give me genre standards in a well produced and well playing package, I don't mind. After all, this has yet to be done well in a game. Sure, a few games in sci-fi settings feature somewhat tense scenarios, but this is an actual horror game. Horror in space.

Plus, it's EA. At worst, it will be a good game that is somewhat shy of greatness.

I do like that they are keeping everything thing in the gameplay perspective the entire time.  Only problem is that it looks stupid when a flashing a button comes out of your suit which totally kills it.

I'm not fond of the horror genre...but this in space reminds me of stuff like Event Horizon (love that movie).

I'm not sold on it though.

EA kicks ass

I really liked the tone and atmosphere in the trailer, until the monster jumped out and it became a Doom 3 clone. I was really hoping for something a little more unique.

The monsters, and the ways you engage them, are nothing like anything found in any Doom game.

You really don't know that, and the trailer does have a lot of monsters leaping out of thin air at the player.

I am super pumped for Dead Space, though. I think it looks and sounds amazing.

[duckman2000]

I know that the game focuses on dismemberment (different techniques for different characters), and that the monster designs are leagues ahead of the Hell Awaits stuff that id seems to be so fond of. I also know that id is not the original designer of the "monster jumping out of nowhere" concept.

Seems you know a lot.

Enough to question arguments that it's somehow a Doom 3 clone. Which doesn't require a ton of knowledge.

[TVC15]

Not interested until I see some gameplay footage.  Zzzzz

I don't think it looks like a DOOM 3 clone, but I do think it seems that many monsters are hiding in closets (next gen closets like playing dead or from the rafters.

Horror staples though, aren't they? I guess if it stays the same through the game, it could be less amusing. But EA is usually pretty good at making entertaining and "solid" games, be they historical masterpieces or not. I don't think they are going to screw up that bad. And the horror genre is so rich that they could stick with borrowed material through the whole game, and it'd feel fresh. All they really need to nail is the setting, that's its defining feature.

[brawndolicious]

the gametrailers gameplay footage really showed how important the dismemberment is.  The plot sounds like it will probably be interesting so at least it's unique by survival-horror standards.  I'd rent it probably.

[Smooth Groove]

Looks generic.
