- Dead Space pushed forward!?
- Posted 3 months ago by Voyou San
Well it is def. a nice change of pace to see a game pushed forward, even if it is only a week. Are you guys looking forward to this?
Well this is a pleasant change from how things normally go down. EA's survival horror space shooter Dead Space, once slated for the October 31st release date coveted by scary games everywhere, has been pushed forward. See? It doesn't seem natural, does it? EA released a statement in Europe earlier today stating that the console versions of the game would be hitting store shelves on October 24th, a full week earlier than originally announced. The North American version is due out a few days earlier on the 21st, because we like our games earlier in the week for some odd reason. Note that the European PC version is still scheduled for Halloween. Gamestop here in the U.S. lists it for a release alongside the console versions, but they have been wrong in the past.
So the game loses some of it's spooky Halloween ambiance, but that's more than made up by how frighteningly well EA is handling this title.

well that is exactly why i dont rent.. spend half the time going back to the store to get another copy.
It's not the renting that I fear it's it "what if this game's so screwed up on its surface?" that scares me. I had a game from Gamefly once that halted my PS2. Haven't rented games since.
i have not rented a game in like 3 years.. i have a fear about doing that..
What if the cardboard box was padded with some sort of foam? I mean, they do put crazy people in those rooms. I'm sure they can make an exception, don't you?
Sounds good....@evry gamer out there....that is why I rent and only buy a few games nowadays....living in a cardboard box isn't comfortable.....
I'm with Mattingly and Voyou... my game cup runneth over while my wallet feels the pinch of depletion.
Now there's too many games of interest coming out within such a short period of time. Good thing there's a break in the week but still.
i feel the same way.. my wallet is already having a fit, can't even try to persuade it to let me open it anymore
As much as I want this game it won't matter when it comes out because I don't think I can afford to spend anymore money on games for a while. Several hundred dollars in pre-orders are waiting to attack my wallet.
sweeeeeeeet.
they said because they are done, well if they are done why not a month earlier or something more hardcore?
I wonder why they moved it up. Wasn't the whole point of the Oct. 31st release date to play off of Halloween?
I wish it was getting pushed forward a week here. Like there's not already enough games coming out on Oct. 21
