dead-space-goes-gold-elite-360-obsidian-ps3-suits-revealed-as-timed-exclusives

EA announced today that their highly anticipated horror third person shooter “Dead Space” has gone gold and will ship in the US on October 14th for the 360 and PS3, with a PC version hitting stores on October 20th.

In addition to the gold announcement, EA has revealed two downloadable suit variants for PS3 and 360 owners that fork over their cash during the first two weeks of the games release. Gimmick yes, but if you are planning on buying the game, here is a little incentive to help pad their numbers.

If that isn’t enough, 360 owners in the US will also be granted access to an uber limited edition run of 1,000 “Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition” copies of the game complete with an art book, graphic novel, animated feature, and an exclusive illustrated lithograph signed by Australian graphic artist, Ben Templesmith.

Full press release available after the jump.

EA ANNOUNCES THAT DEAD SPACE HAS GONE GOLD

The Award-Winning Sci-Fi Survival Horror Game Ships to Retailers on Oct. 14

Redwood City, CA – October 1, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today that Dead Space™, the highly anticipated new survival horror game, has gone gold and will ship in North America on October 14 for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. The PC version will ship on October 20. Dead Space will be in stores in Europe on October 24 for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system and the PC.

Players who buy the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 versions of the game within the first two weeks of the game’s release will have the opportunity to download a platform exclusive suit. Xbox 360 fans can download the Xbox-themed Elite Suit* on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PLAYSTATION 3 fans can download the PlayStation-themed Obsidian Suit* on the PLAYSTATION®Network. Both of these suits will feature new looks and increased toughness and inventory slots, to help players fight for survival in the Dead Space universe.

In addition, for Xbox 360 owners in North America, the EA Store™ is offering a very limited run of 1000 copies of the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition. This package contains a copy of the game, Dead Space Downfall Animated Movie on DVD, bonus content DVD, 97-page art book, the 160-page graphic novel (which combines all six issues of the Dead Space comics), exclusive lithograph illustrated and individually signed by Ben Templesmith, and an Ishimura crew patch, all sealed in a limited edition Dead Space packaging. The Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition can be ordered through the EA Store and will ship on October 14.

The bold and often bloody Dead Space promises to deliver the ultimate in psychological terror and gruesome cinematic action. Set in the cold blackness of deep space, the atmosphere in Dead Space is soaked with a feeling of tension, dread and sheer terror. In Dead Space, players step into the role of mining engineer Isaac Clarke, an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It’s not long before Isaac awakes to a living nightmare filled with vicious genetic mutations inside a dead, claustrophobic silence. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a desperate fight for survival.

    This game actually looks like it has some “jump” moments in it, i personally will be playing this game from day 1 :). The horror video games have always drawn my attention like silent hill, resident evil, F.E.A.R. etc., hopefully this one lives up to hype it is recieving

    Anyone else growing annoyed by the continued onslaught of exclusive content offered to console owners as part of a not-so-subtle effort by the developers to push gamers away from the PC?
