Dead Space - old Build on XBOX

[Zomby]

Hey guys I found this video on youtube.com

Does anyone has more footage and maybe a better video of the above ?

Thanks for the link... I didnt even know that development for this started on the original Xbox. Definitely interested in seeing more. (since that video wasnt the most clear) :110:

Nice find.

I don't remember the exact details, but iirc, I think the Xbox version was shown off last year-ish at Animex or something in the UK by part of the dev team (possibly at other festivals and some other occasions too where they show off Computer Technology in a video game context)

It was at least shown on a big screen to an audience in the form a video collage played in WMP.

The above clip was shown during a presentation called "Creating Horror and Immersion with the Art of Dead Space" that was given by the game's art director Ian Milham at this year's Animex game and animation festival.

Heres another copy of the video. Notice how the filename says 2006? So i doubt this video is of the xbox version of the game.

The video probably just says 2006 to show when they tossed it together.

Quick guess is that they were probably working on the game at some point during the Xbox' active time (or started initial development pre-360 specs reveal), then put it away as they worked on some other project (Godfather, maybe?) and then, instead of potentially suffering layoffs or the fate of having to make another license game -> Dug out something from the archives -> tossed together a demo video of what they had -> presented it to the higher ups -> Got it greenlighted -> Moved everything to current gen.

Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. That some old tech demo/concept/game gets the thumbs up after years of inactivity.

This is very probable. I had some DVT kits very recently that had beta's of Wheelman on them. Wheelman not seeing a release until 2009 I can only assume that the same happened there too.

It makes me wonder how long Deadspace was in development, don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure that they trademarked the title Deadspace in 99.
