What's it like at Visceral Games now that the studio's former-Vice President Glen Schofield has left?
That's the question GamerZines put to Dead Space producer Richard Briggs at a recent Dead Space: Extraction hands-on event, who told us that the team was "sad to see" Glen leave, but that they "had the people in place to keep moving forward".
"Obviously we're sad to see someone like Glen leave," said Briggs, "but we have a really deep bench of talent at Visceral Games and the team was pretty much wrapped up with Extraction when it happened.

Schofield left Visceral Games in July alongside ex-COO Michael Condrey to join Activision as general manager of a new development studio.
Schofield was the creator and driving force behind the studio's popular Dead Space title, a third-person survival horror which launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC late last year.
The game's prequel, Dead Space: Extraction, launches exclusively on Wii this October.
Alongside Dead Space: Extraction, Visceral Games is currently working on Dante's Inferno which releases next February, as well as two unannounced titles. One of them is presumed to be Dead Space 2.
