Dead Space is going to spook your wits off, in this sci-fi & horror genre mixed game, which lasts for more than 20 hours, the developers have divided the game play into scary moments to bring you to the edge of your seat, and draw you into psychological moments, which cause a feeling of unease within you, trying to mess with your minds as much as possible.

The developers claim to have borrowed horror ideas by watching A-list horror flicks to cheap horror genre movies, which kept the developers guessing how to design a AI, that keeps the horror element tight in the game, so they have blended in-game horror with special camera angles, sound effects and gripping story line, they term this experience similar to a situation when you know you don’t want to go behind that close door while you watch a horror movie, but here you have already made a choice to go behind the closed doors, it’s now dependent on your gaming skills how you survive the horror.

To portray scenes of terrible carnage and realism, the EA Redwood Shores studio team studied bodies of car crash victims, war deaths, they have also used some anti-gravity technology, this is a technology that allows blood to be splattered in the air to depict gore by having blood and limbs and even maggots floating around.

AI in game has being designed to surprise you by bringing out shocking moments which you would not expect, so once the game is out, make sure you black out your room, pump up your PC volume, get ready to play a refreshing horror title which aims at taking horror element in gaming at new heights.
