Visceral Engineer Makes Dead Space 2 Trailer In Minecraft

Michael Noonan, gameplay engineer at Visceral Games, put together this trailer using Minecraft to celebrate the release of Dead Space 2.

"The whole environment and shot set up I've done myself, though the actual scale of the marker is closer to the one in DS2," Noonan told Kotaku. "I genned a couple worlds until I found a big mountain to put the marker inside, fortunately it was naturally hollow to begin with, I only needed to blow up a floor a bit."

"I didn't want to copy any Dead Space trailers, most of them show off the monsters which I just can't do in MineCraft, but it was definitely inspired by the 'Twinkle Twinkle' and 'Ring Around the Rosie' trailers," he continued. "I'm not really good at audio stuff, so I spent a couple hours looking for a creepy a lullaby until I found that Silent Night music box melody that just seemed to fit the theme perfectly."

What do you think of the final product?

There are no words to describe my reaction to seeing two excellent games melded together into a 2 minute video... it's just... AWESOME!

Not that impressive imo. . . just shows a red structure for 2 mins in normal background.

That's why the chicken crossed the road, I guess.
I'm sorry, I know how lame that was. :P

Pretty cool. But.... chicken? Man am I glad that thing actually isn't in the game. That would scare me to death so bad

Minecraft is way better than Roblox, by far!
by Chance Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 09:57 PM

Minecraft has become adult legos.

That's pretty cool
by bioshocker Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 09:58 PM

That chicken at the end cracked me up, no joke, lol.
by jdkscore Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 10:01 PM

That's awesome!

I do not understand the fascination with Minecraft. I wish all these talented people would use their abilities to make actual mods, or at the very least, Littlebigplanet levels or something. However, even I have to admit this is pretty cool. Reminds me of 3D Dot Game Heroes; seeing a modern game design done in 3D pixels. Great job, Mr. Noonan.
