I'm especially interested in seeing how they could use the MotionPlus w/ Dead Space since EA said that they are looking into using that as well.

Interesting, I hope this does not go the same way as Deadrising. As long as there are extra gameplay features it should make up for the lack of graphical power.

If by a huge graphical downgrade then yes what else can you expect. the Wii is not the 360 or even the original Xbox.

No not because of the graphics thats obvious Xbox360/PS3 ports will never look as good on Wii. I mean by gameplay since I got put off by Deadrising after hearing they got rid of the 72 hour countdown clock.

Perhaps responding to criticism as a lot of people hated that mechanism and they figured that if the 360 crowd didn't like it the casual fanbase that is rightly or wrongly attributed to the Wii, wouldn't either.

Well this one surprised me. I thought this game would stay firmly planted in PC and 360 territory

Gah! It's not even out and you've already decided the control scheme?

In many ways, a Dead Space release on the Wii makes sense. While the graphics are going to be considerably stripped down, the game's similarities to Resident Evil 4 make it a natural candidate for motion control. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition felt right at home with the Wii's interface, and Dead Space will likely follow the same path.

woooooooo!
At this rate I won't have to buy a 360. I've just been sold on the motion plus thing too.
