Visceral help wanted posting says Dead Space 2 is in pre-production
According to a LinkedIn help wanted posting from Visceral Games, Dead Space 2 is currently in pre-production.
Here’s some information pulled from it:
This M-rated action/shooter sequel will set new standards for an action-packed story-driven console experience.
The game is in the later stages of pre-production, ready for production in the next few months, with many of the navigational and combat mechanics in place. We have complete autonomy and creative control over our own decisions. The Games Label at EA is 100% committed to this IP, and has already worked on IP extensions such as comic, animated features, and action figures.
The ad was spotted by Superannuation.
Thanks, Blue.

This Superannuation chap must have earned a pretty hefty price on his scalp by now.

Correct, it is publicly posted, like almost all of the content I have appropriated, and it is a job listing that went up on various places, so EA HR knew what they were writing in the copy. Plus, the Dead Space 2 existence was leaked out in May (another discovery of mine) or so.
I’ve only gotten one cease-and-desist, and that was for a couple pieces of content that were hidden behind a (free) wall. And I was threatened with a lawsuit, but that was over someone else’s post I had nothing to do that however linked to me for some reason I cannot fathom.
I think companies harbor more of an animosity towards people who say to write a little than they do towards me. If anything, I’ve helped someone’s marketing department in some instances.
