Dead Space 2 looking "incredible," says Visceral

Visceral Games has teased that upcoming survival horror sequel Dead Space 2 is looking ‘incredible,’ with the development  team now able to shift up a gear following the release of Dante’s Inferno this week.

Speaking during a recent interview, executive producer Jonathan Knight commented: "That's [Dead Space 2] next up for us. There's a different executive producer on it. It's moving into full production and the company is excited about it.”

Knight teased that the game is looking mighty fine, and observed that while not straying from its roots, the team have tweaked a few things to polish up the experience: “I've seen it internally, and it's looking incredible. They have some great ideas - it's still a space horror piece, but they've expanded upon the first game nicely."

Dead Space 2 is in development for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. A release date has yet to be announced.

    Ah this is going to be awesome. Nice to see they are excited about it, always a good sign. Hopefully that means we'll get a better game.

     Well, I don't think I'll get this because I need to get Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII and if there's a game I would just pick up it would be MAG. I was considering God of War 3 but GoW really is a rental game for me because of the lenght of the game.

     I enjoyed the first one accept for it seeming slightly repetitive  with you going back and fourth to the rail system and a bit linear but all that aside it was enjoyable. I have a feeling this next one is going to stray quite far from the survival horror aspect and become more of a action game like the trash capcom released known as RE5 which completly ruined the series.

    Awesome :D

    I'm currently going back through Dead Space trying to get a Platinum. The only one that I think will take me forever is to beat it on very hard.

    One of my top 5 games of all time.  Cannot wait for the sequel to come out, let's hope they don't screw it up!  But everything sounds good so far.

    I pre-ordered Dante's Inferno just got the confirmation that it's coming now so should be playing it tommorrow wahoo, BioShock 2 is out next Tuesday I'm going to be seriously skint by this time next week lol.

    If they have done D.I in 60FPS I am betting D.S 2 will be as well, D.S 1 was a sleeper hit and my personal opinion is it's the new resi evil but better people are only just discovering no.1 and it's great. Looking forward to no.2 really am 2010 for PS3 is looking better than last year,

    Dante's Inferno, BioShock 2, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy 13, Dead Space 2 gonna have a goooood games collection.

    Dead Space is in my top 3 games, I love it and had great fun getting the platinum. They say they're adding more polish, didn't think that would be possible, it looked so good first time round.

    @ Sonan, don't forget the cheat code that refills your stasis when you pause.  It really helps if you are going to play impossible mode.
