Dead Space: Extraction PS3 is an exclusive pack-in if you buy Dead Space 2: Limited Edition, which will be available exclusively for the PS3 version.
Extraction was the previously Wii-exclusive rail-shooter game (a prequel to the series) which was praised critically but commercially bombed. So this will be a great way to get the highly-praised game into more people’s hands and an incentive for people to pick up the game for the PS3. Even better, the game will support the PlayStation Move! Which is great because the Move essentially mimics the Wii Remote & Nunchuck, which Extraction was originally built for.
This was announced at Sony’s E3 2010 Press Conference.
Launching January 28th 2011, Dead Space 2 will unleash a truly epic Action Horror experience that will bring the psychological thrills of deep space to a terrifying new level.
“The Dead Space 2 Limited Edition will include Dead Space Extraction in full HD for the first time ever. Dead Space Extraction on PlayStation 3 will offer the entire single-player game complete with all-new trophy support, as well as co-op gameplay, using the new PlayStation Move motion controller, in addition to the standard DUALSHOCK 3 and SIXAXIS controllers. Players will be armed with an arsenal of weaponry and an easy-to-use control system customized to take full advantage of the capabilities of PlayStation Move. Dead Space Extraction will also be sold separately as a standalone game via the PlayStation Network Store.”
“We’re thrilled to couple two terrifying experiences in one box. With the Limited Edition, PlayStation 3 fans will receive real insight into the cause of the necromorph infestation and the destruction that followed. This is the genesis of the dark and twisted world Isaac inhabits,” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer on Dead Space 2. “The addition of support for PlayStation Move allows us to bring a truly unique experience that was previously unavailable to players and we can’t wait to see what they think.”
