Dead Space Using Godfather Engine

It has been revealed that Dead Space, the upcoming survival horror shooter set aboard a spaceship, is being built on the same engine that powered The Godfather games. This was revealed at a presentation to industry analysts by EA, who stated that a highly modified version of the engine using all the latest next-gen features was being used.

Such information comes as no surprise as EA Redwood, the studio developing the game, has The Godfather games to its credit. However, one may be surprised since the games aren’t comparable, as one of them has a free-roaming environment with a huge city to explore, while the other is set aboard a claustrophobic spaceship with tight spaces.

Dead Space is set for release later this year on all the major platforms.
