I think this is a mistake. The suspense of a non-speaking character amplified on Ishimura...this could break the effect. I'm not saying it'll ruin the game but in terms of design choice a silent Isaac Clarke has a profound impact on the atmosphere. Isolation.

Multiplayer can strawberry float off.

How would they do it anyway? Just a deathmatch with 16 different Isaacs?

Probably something more akin to Left 4 Dead would probably work quite well. Hope it doesn't distract their efforts at making a fully comprehensive sequel, mind...

Both sentiments I agree with.

I think having Isaac talk is a good idea, I've never been a fan of mute characters as it detracts from the experience in my book.

Multiplayer may be a mistake, but co-op could well be a fantastic addition if implemented well.

Let's face it, Isaac was hardly a mute in the first one, was he? With all the grunts and growls coming out of that helmet he made more of a racket than all of the mutations combined. Besides, if handled properly I don't think him stringing together sentences will detract from the overall feeling of isolation. With mentions of his character becoming 'slightly unhinged', it could, in fact, work in the games favour.

Time'll tell.

I have faith in Visceral either way, look at the quality of their output of recent years (especially concerning the Dead Space series).

Will Visceral still be as good without Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey?

This bit caught my eye:
The all-important horror element will return with bells on. Enemies will be less predictable and pacing will be more considered; at times you will feel like the hunter and at times you'll fight wildly like cornered prey. Visceral wants to lower the amount of monsters bursting out on you and instil an eerie, thought-provoking scare.

Also: Isaac speaks! Be interesting to hear who they've got to play him.

Excellent, I've been saying during some of my lectures at uni that in horror in particular, less is more when it comes to actual enemy encounters.

Cannae wait... the first one was The Thing in space. very alien like, if this is like aliens, Im sold. :mrgreen:

Holy gooseberry fool!

One eye-catching addition is dead, grinning and naked infants that have no lips and sealed eyes. They'll dash at and pounce on Clarke, stabbing mercilessly at him with long claws. Another humanoid enemy literally spills his guts, which will infectiously slop towards Clarke.

Or there's a tentacled man who's gullet hangs from his mouth like an enormous tongue. He'll attempt to lasso Clarke and bring him close. But our favourite new addition are Stalkers: speedy pack hunters that will try to trick Clarke and out-flank him or lure him into a trap.

Sounds amaze. :wub:

Also liking the news about the game taking place during the the opening stages of the infection, will be great to see entire areas helplessly fighting against the Necs.

And space station? That will shut up those people who complained about the lack of variety in DS1.

OFF TOPIC: I never thought I would see that Fur TV sex tape again! Was involved in that in my old job, and still login to the official Mervin Minky MySpace profile.
