Dead Space scares gamers a week early in Europe

by Dustin Burg { Aug 29th 2008 at 2:45PM }

In one of the most surprising announcements since the original Gears of War 'just sell it whenever' release date, Electronic Arts has announced that Dead Space will be releasing a week earlier than originally planned in Europe. That puts Dead Space into the hot little hands of 360 gamers by October 24th in Europe. Why, that gives everyone a full week to enjoy the game before Halloween. We can't wait to see all the Isaac Clarke costumes and Necromorph Jack-o'-lanterns.

Finally Europe gets a perk. Too bad I'll be getting Far Cry 2 instead.

ryan @ Aug 29th 2008 3:24PM

oct. 21 for US.

Alex @ Aug 30th 2008 8:36AM

Finally. something good for us. The US gets everything before us.
What about Fable II? Lionhead is a UK company, does that mean that we will get that early too?

Games to get on October 21st

LittleBigPlanet
Bioshock PS3
Dead Space PS3

Any games for 360 I should know about coming on October 21st?

Dead space is on 360. You could have played Bioshock countless time before it's even released on PS3 so all in all you have little big planet.

That makes 2 games that are good on PS3. MGS4 and LBP. All the rest are available on 360.

Stop flamebaiting you troll.

OK SHUT THE FUCK UP

I just simply asked a question.

I've beaten Bioshock on 360 and I heard the PS3 version has extra stuff.

Dead Space is lead platform on PS3 i'll get that over the 360 version. Just like Fallout 3 is lead on the 360 i'm NOT getting the PS3 version.

Don't give me that, this and that are the only good games on PS3 bullshit. Its so old and played out and only worked in 2006.

MGS4 and LBP aren't the only good games on PS3 and I won't even tell you how much of the rest aren't on 360.

That PS3 only has this and that game is so old and played out. Only worked in 2006-early 2007.

Lastly, I asked I simple question you stupid immature little childish piece of baby shit.

You have no idea how dumb you sound.

Muffin_man @ Aug 30th 2008 11:56PM

Hah, it's funny how you call me immature when you repeated yourself twice in one post, didn't list the games that are supposedly worth getting and the fact you used a stream of prafinities in your post.

Who's childish now?

It doesn't matter which platform is the 'lead platform' for a game since games that have been developed first and foremost for the 360 see little change in the PS3 counterparts and vice versa.

Another point is that you say the 'No good games' argument doesn't work any more. Tell me how it doesn't? No good games is an opinion, if I were to get a PS3 this instant, the only games I would buy are LBP and MGS4.

If I were you, I wouldn't argue with someone who is on the intellectual high ground (that would be me).

You have no idea how dumb you sound.

MetalGearsOfSolidWar @ Aug 30th 2008 10:18AM

Hey Fable 2 on Oct. 21st. One more game to get on that day.

MetalGearsOfSolidWar @ Aug 31st 2008 3:48AM

Maybe I was wrong about the other guy being a fanboy but you are most definitely a fanboy.

Dead Space wasn't developed “first and foremost” on the 360.

If you think MGS4 and LBP are the only good games you obviously have problems but it is your opinion. Even though its incredibly stupid.

You are nowhere near this intellectual high ground you think you're on. Don't delude yourself into thinking you are at the least bit smart or intelligent.

I'm immature for repeating myself. Lots of people repeat them selves to get the point across to stupid people.

You're the immature one for catching feelings and getting on bitch made because I mentioned PS3.

If you want a list i'll give you a damn list. White Knight, Disgaea 3, FFXIII Versus, Valkyria Chronicles, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Team Ico's game, The BBC Reporters game, Resistance 2, Socom, Motorstorm 2, and MANY more but I won't go into detail.

You are the dumb one for snapping off at me for asking a question. You are far from any type of intelligence.

Done arguing with you, fanboy piece of shit.

I guess gamers don't exist anymore, its only trolls and fanboys now.

Muffin_man @ Aug 31st 2008 11:45PM

I am not a fan boy. In the last generation of gaming I owned a PS2 before I had an xbox and I also had a gamecube. First console I had was a playstation. Now I just like getting value for money (because I have grown up and my investments dig into my wallet unlike some kid who gets all the games from his parents). For me, xbox 360 and PC gaming is value for money.

I wasn't snapping, merely pointing out that you were acting arrogant. It wasn't because you mentioned PS3 it was the fact that what you typed could very easily be interpreted as a jeer. You caould have said this on joystick and I would have thought nothing of it because that site is a middle ground for gaming. Coming to the 360 site and touting the PS3 while questioning the 360's line-up certainly seems like a flamebate to me.

If it is I who is far from intelligent, tell me, how come you used so many profanities and expletives? Does my absence of anger annoy you? Is it my condescending tone? I wouldn't take it personally, I just love telling people how they are so wrong.

I also don't think you repeated yourself to get your point across, more so that you could try to convince yourself that you are right. Constantly lie and you will begin to believe that lie to be true; and so it is, that you happen to repeat yourself to hammer the point you are trying to make into your own mind. Forcing yourself to believe because you know what you're saying nobody is buying.

Also going by your list the only interesting games there are Socom (I loved it on the PS2) FFXIII is on the 360 (Yes it will be better on PS3 but at least I won't have to buy the console).

And as a final point that I'd like to make, I honestly can't fathom the idea that you think I am the one who is stupid. You are obviously deluded.

Oh and use the reply button so I can get back to you quicker. I eagerly await your retort (I hope using a dictionary isn't too taxing, I know I used many big confusing words). If you're done arguing then I guess I have won this debate.

Oh, and see how I got my point across without swearing once? Yeah, I'm that good.

MetalGearsOfSolidWar @ Sep 1st 2008 1:00AM

Much to my dismay.

1. No comment

2. Nobody was questioning 360's line up of games. Its just a coincidence that 3 are for the PS3. Along with Fable 2 and that new Castlevania DS game. My point was that many good games are coming out on Oct. 21st. You never even thought of that, because in a fanboys(you) view of things, the slightest mention of PS3 will turn you into the stupidest fool.

3. Well try again because i'm far from wrong, and I swear all the time don't feel flattered.

4. I love how you went in my mind it automatically knew what I meant. Thats EXACTLY what I did.

5. If you think thats all the PS3 has either you're a fucking fanboy or you really don't know enough about PS3 to criticise it.

6. I'm no Einstein but i'm smart enough to know that you are far from being intellectually superior to me. So far you've made 3 assumption without stopping to think of any other reasons, and you convinced yourself that I was doing exactly what you THOUGHT I was doing.

If you think the words you used are big words, then you really are stupid. You are far from good.

Muffin_man @ Sep 1st 2008 3:18PM

You were questioning the 360's line up while touting the PS3's that seems a little too much like a flamebait to me.

Again it is in my opinion you are wrong so I gues we just have to disagree. Oh and I am not flattered (do you know what that word even means?), I was more astounded that you could get so heated over a simple quarrel.

I already explained that I am not a fanboy. I just said that the games you listed don't interest me (except the ones I listed).

While I did make an assumption (that's all you really can do based on evidence on the Internet). Yes you're right, that is what I thought, I thought I made it clear that the tone of what you said appeared to be jeering?

And on your final point, I know they aren't big words; I was judging by everything you had said up until that point (all the profanities and mistakes) and comparing it to the words I used. Yes, they are not big words but compared to what you were saying they were.

Thanks for this little discussion. It was fun!
