Dead Space Coming To Wii, Mass Effect 2 In 2010

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 02:44pm 06/02/09 | 19 Comments

Alongside today's Battlefield 1943 and Bad Company announcements, EA boss John Riccitiello has also stated a Wii version of EA Redwood's survival horror sci fi smash, Dead Space, is in development and should hit Nintendo's platform later this year.

As for BioWare's Mass Effect II, we'll reportedly see the game within this coming financial year, likely putting it in the 2010 period, finally putting some concrete information behind the series moving forward since EA acquired BioWare in 2007. You can also expect the series to hit multiple platforms instead of only PC and Xbox 360.

Why do I have a bad feeling about Dead Space Wii?

because it was terrible on pc and will probably be worse in the port?

Exactly. It was s***. Same with Mass Effect, what a terrible game the sequel deserves to be an xbox exclusive.

dead space was awesome on pc, i just dont think the wii will be up to generating the required visuals though:

control will be good;

How much GFX horse power does it take to render the inside of a corridor? Have you played Metroid? Even the gamecube could do Deadspace.

Have you played Metroid?

Have you seen Dead Space? Or are you just speaking out your arse, because it really looks nothing like metroid.

Dead Space was fantastic though, not too sure the Wii can do it justice, but if it increases the chance of a sequel, then I'm all for it :P

Dead space was enjoyable. I think the visuals wuld need a slightly different style on Wii to succeed; Metriod Prime 3 looks great because they worked WITH the systems limitations instead of trying to cut down a HD product.

If done right, I think it would be excellent, but if they just shrink the artwork resolution I expect suckiness.

Although the controls might actually be easier to manage like this.

I want some more good games for my Wii, Nintendo!

It would be stupid for EA not to release it on PS3 really, I figured it was a given.

I've got and played both. I wasn't suggesting that Dead Space should look like Metroid. I was stating that Metroid looked pretty good, so Dead Space should have no trouble looking convincing.
It's the wii, it doesn't have to look like the 360, just look good enough.
