Dead Space Art: What they studied


So the Dead Space team studied pictures of car crash victims and war scenes to get it right.

"We knew this would be difficult to portray, because sometimes gore in games looks cheap and unrealistic," executive producer Glen Schofield told Edge. "Sure enough, the first few corpses that we did, just weren’t convincing enough. I rejected them.

"This sounds horrible, but we had to go look at pictures of car accidents and war scenes and things like that because we had to get it right; we had to portray scenes of terrible carnage and realism. It’s a big part of making that experience convincing."

Leakages and Street Dates Being Broken


As seen above, the street date for Little Big Planet was broken. I've got a question. What is up with leaking and broken street days?

Personally I would launch a plan with the game developers to sell the game from their OWN OFFICIAL website. This is just getting out of hand.
