An EA game like Dead Space simply "wouldn't have happened" prior to the company's change of strategy two years ago, gameplay engineer David Yee has told VideoGamer.com.

Aeropause, along with several other blog and horror sites, got a chance to head up to EA Redwood City to see and play through their new upcoming Survival Horror title, Dead Space. Along the way, we had time with the development team and producer for Dead Space.
That VideoGame Blog: "But possibly the coolest thing, aside from the game itself, wasn't even a part of marketing the game to us, it was just something one really passionate developer on the game did. Chuck Beaver is a producer for the game, but he's also a bit of a cosplayer, so on his own free time he put together a truly amazing Isaac cosplay."
