Dismemberment mode sounds cool but I am confused as to why its a mode and not just part of the game. I am not expecting them to just carbon copy Dead Space (I know they worked on the Dead Space series) but the shooting combat in the game was really missing better ways to deal with enemies. Seems like this could really change up the way the game plays.
