Dead Space 2 'scarier than the first'

Dead Space 2 will be scarier than the
first according to executive producer Steve Papoutis.

"It was
awesome making Dead Space, it came out of the blue and was well received
by critics and fans," Papoutis told PC Zone. "It's daunting to try and
top it."

"In order to be a better
game, we need to step our game up in all facets - that's the visuals,
enemy designs, new weapons, tools and mechanics."

"Certainly
horror is a big part of that," Papoutis continued. "So when we're done
with it, I hope we can say that it's scarier. That's a goal for us."

Dead
Space 2's online multiplayer is still on the cards as well which, if
it can manage an atmosphere anywhere near that of the original single
player, could make for a really intense experience.
