Dementium II Message Board

The DS doesn’t seem like a particularly fitting home for first-person horror and that has nothing to do with the fact that Nintendo is the name on that particular domicile’s lease. Controls, screen size and unsuitability for public play all seem as though they might make a handheld an unnatural home for unnatural happenings. Dementium II’s decent combat and ‘orrible noises did draw a smattering of applause from some corners though, and the story of madness and murder is considered an improvement over the original. Welcome and surprising news of a port reaches us this morning, and perhaps the mighty PCs and Macs of the world will provide better living quarters for the institutionalised terror. Trailer below.

A portion of a Dtoid review… …Dementium II is worth picking up for horror fans and FPS players alike, or just somebody who feels their DS library could use something a little darker.

Sequel to award-winning game hits retail.

Another successful first-person adventure from Renegade Kid.

Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham reveals in his latest vlog post that Dementium II has been delayed until April 20, 2010. The developer gives the distinct feeling he's not too keen about the hold up, which is allegedly due to a "manufacturing delay." Dementium II was originally intended to freak out DS owners on February 16. Watsham asks people to please pre-order, because "pre-orders make a big difference in the success of the game." Also, it's not like you've got anything else to spend that money on during the time ... oh wait. [Via Go Nintendo]

It's all in your head. Right? We go hands-on with the latest from Renegade Kid, including the all-new survival mode.

Prepare for a scare.

Check out more screens here If the new screenshots don’t freak you out enough, you can check out the official website that was just opened. It may seem calm and peaceful at first, but once you spend some time actually sifting through the information, I bet things start to get a little crazy.

Jools Watsham's prediction of a "February-ish" release for Dementium II seems to have been right on target -- though Nintendo's release schedule wasn't. Rather than the February 2 date listed on that schedule, The company announced that the DS horror FPS will ship in North America on February 16 of next year. Europe will be subject to the horror two weeks later on March 5. SouthPeak reports that some Dementium II posters are still available to those who pre-order and send pictures of their receipts. Presumably more people will take advantage of the offer now that they now when the game they're pre-ordering will be released.

DS owners can mark their calendars now for the hotly anticipated survival horror FPS.

Would you like this on your wall? The first 1,000 people in the US and Canada to pre-order Dementium II at an "authorized retailer" (including Amazon and GameStop) and send their mailing addresses and scans of their receipts to: "dementiumii [at] southpeakgames [dot] com," will receive this poster, signed by Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove. Surely, there's room on your wall between the Muramasa scroll and the shelf you nailed up to rest your Mario lunchpail upon on its days off. The Dementium II poster was previously given away in a Halloween promotion, but was apparently popular enough among hand-from-face fans to warrant a return engagement. Speaking of Dementium II and creepy imagery, SouthPeak opened a teaser site for the horror sequel. You can visit it here ... if you dare! Which you probably do.

Get a spooky poster when you pre-order the DS shooter.

We told you about the preorder bonus poster for Dementium II, so reader Joel sent in some pics of what the thing actually looks like! This sucker is the best boxart of the year, in my opinion!

Some ghoulish screens in honor of Halloween.

Phase One has ended. We're not sure we want to know what Phase Two is.

This will scare you.

Checking back in for more treatment.

Did you know that Dementium II is going to be around 12 hours long? That’s quite a beefy title for a first person outing on a portable. I loved the first game, which means you can definitely count me in for the sequel. I hope you’re getting just as pumped as I [...]
