To promote the upcoming Dead Space 2, EA and Visceral Games will host a live stream, where fans can ask question for a chance to win prizes.

Dead Space 2 hits stores across the country tomorrow, but if that wait seems too long you can get your fix by heading online and watching the game’s developers discuss the game, show off footage, and then answer questions. There will also be prizes.

EA seems to have an awful lot of faith in this game. While some publishers will push the ads immediately before the launch of a title, EA is putting the Visceral Games developers on the front lines to answer questions from gamers. Now, if you have ever seen gamers’ discussions, this could go one of two ways. On one hand, things might go swimmingly. The questions will be precise and insightful and cut right to the chase.  Of course, far more likely, things could quickly go bad. Very, very bad. Dear god, the horror, the horror… In other words, the questions may range from the thought process that goes behind the creation of the Dead Space universe, to why the game is stupid and the developers suck so hard.  Such is the joy of the anonymity of the internet.

The event itself will also show off the Dead Space game for the iPhone, as well as a new Lurker kill designed by a previous contest winner.

The event starts at 4:30 PST, and can be found online at www.ustream.tv/deadspace. Look for Dead Space 2 to begin selling tonight at midnight, and look for our review of the game tomorrow.

  1. Prof. Benny Oblivion at 2:30am 25th January 2011 Well here's to hoping that EA's long awaited sequel to the near perfect Dead Space surpasses the first in raw carnage. The "Mom hates it" line of ads are encouraging and welcome news if legitimate, but from what I saw in the demo for Dead Space 2. Mom would have hated the original equally. I didn't wait over 2 years for an equal amount of carnage, I want spine-ripping, brain-sucking, cartilage cracking, bloody evisceration splattered all over my helmet's plexi-glass face shield from #2, not to mention a whole host of new nightmares in the form of creative, new alien predators. Does DS2 deliver on THAT level ? I tentatively await DS2's release to honestly assess Issac Clarke's new journey in terror...
