EA's "Dead Space" Goes Viral



Suicide Girls just learned of NoKnownSurvivors, a new viral experience that allows visitors to explore the narrative world of EA's new survival horror game, DEAD SPACE. Over the next couple months the site will employ interactive components, 3D, voice acting, video and Papervision to tell two tragic four chapter stories. The first, "Misplaced Affection", is the story of an organ replacement technician who falls hard for a female security officer. The second, "13", will tell the tale of a sleeper agent who makes the wrong decisions.

You can view it all at the haunting NoKnownSurvivors content hub. It looks to be pretty vast and wide-reaching - beginning with 9 severed body parts, each one representing a chapter. Each week before a chapter goes live, its assigned body part begins to mutate, finally evolving in to a mature necromorph part (necromorphs are re-animated, mutated corpses of fallen crew members).

Each Monday (it started last week on August 25th) a new necromorph part will be live and clickable. The second chapter just launched this past Monday - so head on over and check it out. SG also will have some exclusive content from NoKnownSurvivors coming soon.

EA apparently has a lot of eggs in the Dead Space basket and the game landscape is due for some good dark suspense and anti-gravity guts right about now. Dead Space comes out on October 21st.

'Dead Space' is also a terrible SF/horror flick starring Marc Singer.

Am I the only one who feels like the survival horror genre stopped being interesting a few Resident Evil ripoffs ago?

I'm digging the comic book, Ben Templesmith is the artist. And yeah, so far the story is much darker than anything Resident Evil related.

this game looks sick as hell, I like how they're doing all these sideline projects along with it the animated film looked wayyyyy sweet. As does the game.
