IGN recently caught up with Producer Steve Papoutsis to talk a bit about Dead Space Extraction for the Wii, including such topics as the game’s development, a sequel, and more.
However, when asked about how successful EA sees the sales of the game, he sidestepped the question, stating “Visceral Games and EA are both very proud of Extraction. We set out to create a high quality Wii game and we feel we nailed just that. Everyone that has seen or played Extraction at the company has high praise for the quality of the game. The team are very proud of what we were able to accomplish with Extraction.”
In addition, he addresses the possibility of a Wii version of the original title, stating “I think it is very possible to port the original game. The biggest thing would be making the right compromises and having enough time to do justice to the original.”
He added, “Just to remind everyone another certain Survival Horror game that was ported to the Wii took almost 6 years of development before showing up on that system. So it’s not as easy as flipping a switch to make those types of things happen. Even when you are starting out with a game that runs on very similar hardware to begin with.”
While that may or may not be a fair point, I’m really not sure which other survival horror game he’s talking about.
