The latest Dead Space developer's diary discusses the use of zero gravity environments in the game. Players will sometimes need to jump across areas or from wall to wall in order to take out monsters and survive. Dead Space takes place on a space station where a pathogen is mutating the inhabitants and their corpses into vicious monsters. Players will first need to maim the creatures before they can reveal their weak points and defeat them.

Our friends at Joystiq recently acquired on the box art for EA's Sci-Fi Survival Horror game, Dead Space. It's fittingly gruesome, and it proves that the player is not the only one who can strategically dismember targets! Yes, the art features a human hand floating in space. Apparently those nasty Necromorphs got to some poor space miner. Maybe this is one of the many gruesome deaths developer Glen Schefield hinted at recently.

We noticed, of course, that the hand is floating outside the ship. That's just a reminder that we'll be able to use our grav boots in the game to walk outside on the hull of the ship. In fact, we'll be able to jump between and walk on lots of different surfaces in the game's zero gravity environments. Cool.
