This slipped past us in the first few manic days of the Tokyo Game Show, but during the EA press conference the company showed off the upcoming PlayStation 3 port of Wii title Dead Space: Extraction and revealed a couple of new details.
Firstly, the entire game will be playable in two-player local co-op – an odd thing to watch, as both players seem to occupy the body, the game being first-person. In addition, Extraction will not be Move-only, and will be playable using either the motion controller or a DualShock/SixAxis, for those without Sony’s new waggly doodad. Finally, it will actually ship on the same Blu-ray disk as the full Dead Space 2 Limited Edition it will accompany, rather than just being a redeemable code in the case – good news for trade-inners who might get a couple of extra bob for the LE.
Of course, no-one is expecting Extraction to stay exclusive to the Dead Space 2 special edition, and it’ll likely be up on the Store for all not long after launch, but the interesting thing to note is the inclusion of DualShock support. With the work now done to add controller play, it wouldn’t be too hard to see the port come to the Move-less 360 too.

Extraction is a superb game, but it would be utter garbage with a regular controller, and it isn’t often you can say THAT about any game. It’s currently the best sounding Move release in my eyes, main reasons being that it was great on Wii and is free with DS2(All PS3 versions are the special edition as I recall, at least in the first batch, at no additional cost).
Logistically, I don’t see how they could pull off a 360 version either. Sure as hell wouldn’t work with Kinect any better than it would a regular controller… much worse in fact thinking on it.

2 player co-op with one body? :S
