Dead Space 2 (Xbox 360)

NotAdmin · Apr 4, 2010

Besides a magazine cover, Electronic Arts and Visceral Games haven't said much about Dead Space 2. All parties involved are quiet about a release date for the action-horror sequel, but it's largely expected that it won't be arriving until early 2011. PAX East marked a coming out party of sorts for Dead Space 2, however, with executive producer Steve Papoutsis, producer Rich Briggs and art director Ian Milham coming to PAX's east coast debut to talk with fans, discuss the future of the franchise, and tease a short piece of gameplay from the game. I sat down with all three of them at PAX East to discuss Dead Space.

G4: We're at PAX. What is it like to meet with fans in person, rather than the traditional way of interacting with fans, which tends to be through the Internet?

Steve Papoutsis: Super awesome.
Ian Milham: I find it incredibly gratifying but also -- and don't take this the wrong way -- difficult because these are people that...they're big fans, they have played the game, they're really smart and they're dedicated and they can sniff out BS marketing very well, right? They know when you're not being honest, they know when you're just shining them on with sort of PR speak, so it is really authentic and great, but you have to really bring some tangible value to it. You really have to have an honest dialogue with them because they're probably the most sophisticated people we'll talk to about our games. It's incredibly gratifying, I love it, but I also have to feel like I have to be on my A-game because they know what they're talking about.

Rich Briggs: The enthusiasm is great. I love seeing fans come up who really enjoy the game and they appreciate what care we've taken to make it, and so it's great to see your work really appreciated in that way. It's nice to have a dialogue with them and they want to know what's going on for the future of the franchise, and they want to know what this element of the game meant, so it's just fun to talk to people and get their take on what certain elements of Dead Space meant and where we might take it in the future.
