Dead Space 2 - New Arrival

Dead Space 2 Looks To Reality Over Films.

Dead Space 2 may be a long way off but the original left us so traumatised we're getting ready for the inevitable horror onslaught now

The first Dead Space managed to blend lots of sci-fi staple cliche’s and terror into a unique and horrible experience, but according to Ian Milham, Art Director on Dead Space 2, the sequel is moving away from the more obvious inspirations.

“Although we look at successful films to see what they’ve done, we really try to study the real world," Milham told NowGamer. "For a horror story to work, the player really has to believe the world, so he or she can believe what happens there and not think it’s a fantasy. So we study what makes a world real believable and have a solid grounding. What makes an airport feel like an airport and not some other setting? What makes a room feel like a real room and not a bunch of polygons? Those are the questions we’re asking ourselves all the time. We find that settings that are trying too hard to be scary frequently feel amateurish and heavy handed. Real terror comes in the perversion of everyday spaces.”
