Dead Space

[FrighT MasteR]

Comes out this week, and I definitely picking it up. I'm just not sure if I should get it for my PS3 or PC just yet. I know it'll look better on my PC, but I like using the controller and playing on the big screen :shrugs:

Anyone else gettin' it, if so, what platform?

[Misfit]

:greetings: i will be gettin it for my 360

[FrighT MasteR]

I ended up just pre-ordering it for my PS3 :thumbup3:

[slimeisacharacter]

PS3 version pre-ordered and paid in full. Killing time til release date trying the different endings to Silent Hill: Homecoming.

[Gatsu18]

I love vivvdeo games!

[Il Duce]

I'll probably end up getting it for the PS3 not sure when i will get it next week though.

[realizm]

i have a 360 but ill prob get it for pc

[Matty]

The game looks pretty cool, probably rent it for the 360 or somethin

[Grandpa Crusty]

Game is getting really good ratings, got an 8.8 on IGN:

Call it science fiction survival horror, but Dead Space does the genre proud with an engaging story; action that's tense, fast-paced and extremely violent; as well as atmospheric qualities that will get under your skin and make you jump. It may be a newcomer, but the seeds of an incredible franchise have been sown, and EA's in a great position to reap a phenomenal franchise full of scares. If you like survival horror, action or sci-fi, Dead Space needs to be on your radar.



I have it preordered will pick it up tomorrow.

[Misfit]

:smokin2: this gonna be sick, picking it up hopefully in the next few weeks....just started bio shock

[Doc Awesome]

I didn't know anything about this game until a couple of days ago when a friend of mine starting yapping my ear off about it and so I looked it up and he has good reason to yap it looks like a solid game. I'll be picking this up for PS3 soon.

[FrighT MasteR]

Amazon still hasn't sent my copy out yet, says the delivery estimate if they do send it will be on Friday :mad:

[LgOr]

these next few months are gonna be expensive for games. SH, Dead Space, Far Cry 2 and of course Gears of War

[FrighT MasteR]

I won't be able to play Gears until it comes out for the PC :(

[LgOr]

:itsok:

[GruesomeDuece]

I won't be able to play Gears until it comes out for the PC :(

I hate to burst your bubble, and I'm not posting a source or link, but I'm about 99% positive that I read from and interview with Cliffy B that GoW2 will NOT be coming out for the PC.

Picking up Dead Space tomorrow, even though I'm not quite finished with SH: Homecoming. Then next week is Far Cry 2, then Fallout 3, then GoW2. Man, it's gonna be a great few months for video games.

[slimeisacharacter]

I was under the impression the PC version of Gears2 was delayed, not cancelled. Perhaps they changed their official stance though...

[FrighT MasteR]

Better not be F'n canceled :mad:

[GruesomeDuece]

Played Dead Space for 45 mins today.

A. Maz. Ing.

Game has you on edge the entire time. The dismemberment part of the gameplay is awesome, the game looks great, and the voice acting is phenomenal.

It's like Event Horizon meets Aliens meets Resident Evil 4.

[FrighT MasteR]

Damnit! F'n amazon barely sent mine out today :mad:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

:point:

[FrighT MasteR]

:bitchslap:

[Kabon]

ive been playing it for a couple hours. with the lights off and surround up. ive jumped a few times and have had the "OMFG" moments cause i had no idea where those things came from. its wicked bad ass.

[FrighT MasteR]

Amazon :shakefist:

[Misfit]

:hmmm: may get mine earlier then expected

[FrighT MasteR]

:finger3:

[Misfit]

never preorder from amazon...i preorder a dvd from them once and it showed up 2 years later :die:

[FrighT MasteR]

Saves me a few bucks cuz I don't have to pay shipping or tax. It's aight, I'm still playing Silent Hill and Saint's Row 2 anyway :smokin2:

[slimeisacharacter]

Grabbing my copy tomarrow. Love that they went the Half-life route and kept the main character speechless. Not sure why, but always liked that better than the more chatty main characters of other games.

Amazon... never trusted them with games. DvD's I am a bit more flexable with delivery dates, but games... If I want to play something, I want it ASAP.

[Misfit]

:mhehe: fright always gets fucked over with online orders

[FrighT MasteR]

:straightface2:

[Nigbo]

I got the game yesterday.
I only played it for about 30 minutes becuase I had court. But I think its a VERY VERY good game

It looks good, sounds good, plays good. I have no complaints at all.

Also for future reference for some of you guys.
There is no reason to ever pre-order a game

Unless you want a midnight release, it can be almost gaurented that the game can be found some place when its released.

Otherwise u spend the money and bind yourself to amazon, or ebgames. And in some cases u end up getting you game days/weeks down the road instead of ontime

[FrighT MasteR]

I only pre-ordered, because it's cheaper for me than going to the store :smokin2:

[PsYcOjOhNnY]

i picked it up yesterday for the PS3. I have yet to play it but i am eagerly waiting to. It looks really good and i have heard nothing but good things about it. Im also sort of curious about the movie/anime thing thats coming out the end of the month thats gives a backstory to the game. Its a prequel i think....seems interesting. Im really glad that its getting good reviews cause when i first came across the game a while back i was interested in it and i hoped it was going to be cool....i mean survival horror games are usually fun. but i was hoping it wasnt going to be like some of these games that get hyped and then wind up not delivering their potential.

[slimeisacharacter]

Got it today. Played a few chapters on easy so I can get a feel for button config and try out the weapon/suit upgrade system before I take a serious stab at normal/hard.

I love the engineering equipment-turned-weapon way they went with weapons. Upgrading system is neat, but not forgiving. Know what you want before you commit to something (not a complaint mind you, I like it). The schematics you have to find in the ship to attain new weapons and suit upgrades really makes you keep and eye on your surroundings, which can at times lead you into a nice baddie trap.

Lighting and sound really bring the creepy atmosphere home. The soft touches, like no sound in the decompressed areas and the how some lights are so bright it makes other areas around them appear darker do great to work the player over.

Enemy AI is impressive. Crawling into a wall and popping out behind the player, their movements in zero-G areas, all very well done.

I can only assume limb removal is more key in normal/hard difficulties, where ammo would be more sparse. In easy, ammo/health is everywhere so its not a hazard to just empty a clip into a baddie rather than do a bit of strat and aim for the limbs. But, its easy mode... what do you expect?

Kenetics and Statis (sp?) offer some interesting alternatives in combat. Quite a few items around the ship go bang when hit hard, allowing kenetics to be rather useful in removing baddies when low on ammo. Statis is just freaking neat, putting something into slow-motion for a period of time has so many fun and useful applications. Trick is remembering you have these two abilities and not get stuck in a 'trigger happy' mindset... like I have too many times.

Haven't run through the whole game nor tried the normal/hard difficulties, but what I have seen... its a dark, creepy, gory, wrecked shipload of fun. :bigthumbup:

[RoughCut]

Not a big gamer but this one caught me eye so I'll most likley buy it...

[Revenant]

Pretty good game, good atmosphere and very tense and creepy, especially when playing at about 2 o clock in the morning after spending the previous 6 hours working on a project...

[Rust In Peace]

No cash for anything at the moment, but when I have extra cash again I'm deffinitely picking this one up. I MIGHT wait untill I have a PS3 just beacuse it's my preferred system to play on, despite me not having one yet.

Playing on hard makes it practically necessary, A couple times I ended up having to get up close and personal with some of those things and just beat the shit out of em' cus i ran out of ammo. my favorite memory is fighting two, one of them being the ones with the two arms kind of like scythes, pretty much the common 1st mission enemy, and the one that crawls on it's arms and has a scorpion tail. I remember killing the first one and then pumping a few rounds into the crawler then running out of ammo, I waited for it to charge me and just before it stabbed me with it's tail I curb stomped it's head in..oh it was epic, and pretty rough, this game makes sure you never feel very comfortable in the surroundings.

By far my favorite thing is extremely subtle but makes the game all the more scary and that's the ambient sound they added. If you just stay in a room you cleared your bound to hear scampering, pipes rattling, something falling over, screams, growls, the list goes on. The do a great job of making it hard to determine if it's the ambience or if there's actually something there.

[Slayer]

Chapter 5 is a bitch :mad:

[FrighT MasteR]

So what's this hear about it being so hard in parts that you may need to start over :mad:

[LgOr]

:lol: Ill get this after I buy Far Cry 2

[Faceless Butcher]

haven't gotten the game yet, got socom instead. Anyway, Fright, are you going to review the movie when it comes out? Not a hollywood movie, is an animated prequel to the game like the online comic.

[FrighT MasteR]

Probably not.

[reaperofthegrim]

I plan on getting this as soon as possible. Once I move back into my house from hurricane Ike/Gustav, send in my 360 for repairs, am in a suitable position to spend money on anything other than food atm, and wait a month after sending my 360 off to get it back in. Life sucks right now... :(

[Grandpa Crusty]

Well, I've only played this game for about an hour and a half, but it is so good so far, most fun I have had playing video games in a while. If you like horror gaming, I can't encourage you strongly enough to go out and get this game, it's great. I also highly, highly encourage you to play it with a 5.1 sound system, the sound design is incredibly immersive.

[slimeisacharacter]

More time in... got a real complaint now: the map. With some areas overlapping each other, positioning the map camera to see where stuff is can be a daunting task and in some cases down right nerve racking.

Boss fights are fun and challenging. Also, I suck at shooting asteroids. (if you have been to that point in the game, you'll understand.)

click on the camera rotating thumbstick, it gives you that line to follow.

the HUD system in this game is fantastic by the way.

I use the tumble and zoom functions. Even with them, some of the maps are awkward to move around enough to see your position and nearby areas with some of the over-lapping rooms and or how the map is centered compared to the area you are currently is moving through. Good example, one of the recent maps I went through centered far away from most of the level when you zoom all the way out because a small portion of the level was at the end of a long tunnel. That default center made zoom/tumble while in the majority of the level alot more annoying than it could have been.

[Doc Awesome]

Been playing this for a little bit. Great game but I hate keeping track of inventory.

[Misfit]

just picked up this bad boy :smokin2:

[GruesomeDuece]

I don't know if it's still free or not, but I d/led the "Elite 360 Suit" from the DLC. It's got all inventory slots and it cost nothing to buy at the store.

I think I'm on Chapter 10 or 11. Game is great. I read that OXM gave it a 6.5, but it was the same girl that overrated Too Human and underrated SH: Homecoming with the same score. Obviously, she likes this number too much, and she doesn't know WTF she's talking about. This is an era where game devs are cutting corners to lower costs and it is very apparent in glitches and such. However, this game is tight, and you can tell they put a lot of time into it. It deserves a lot higher than a 6.5.

[PsYcOjOhNnY]

i have been playing this game and im up to like chapter 10 and im loving it. I love the sounds the visuals, its creepy and fun to play at the same time. I like the dismemberment that you can do. its pretty responsive and not very repetitive. I like using the kenesis. It reminds me of the gravity gun in HL2

[Misfit]

:smokin2: chapter 7 and i also use the free downloadable elite suit:D

[slimeisacharacter]

Downloaded the PS3 exclusive suit after I beat the game. The coloring of the suit fits so well in the game. Course, beating the game unlocks the teir 6 military suit... so I upgraded soon after, but I still prefer the exclusive's color scheme over any of the other suits.

Currently working on the trophy list. Some are so easy, like spend so much money at the store, get all the weapons. Some are impressively hard, like beat the game only using the plasma cutter, beat zero-g basketball, and get a perfect score in the shooting range. The second/third time through the game with a weapon or two completely upgraded is so sexy. Maxed out stasis doesnt hurt either. :bigthumbup:

Tomarrow... Fallout 3 arrives in my collection. Getting hard to pick which of my recent buys to play lately. Really interested to see how well they pulled off the free-roam world in Fallout 3.

[FrighT MasteR]

So if you get that downloaded suit do you equip it automatically when you start the game? I'm gonna be playing it soon and I downloaded the free suit :hmmm:

[Driden]

I just bought this finally I might check it out tomorrow but not sure since I just got Fallout 3

[FrighT MasteR]

I'm waiting for Fallout 3 to come in the mail :die:

[Misfit]

when you go to the store is on the bottom of the list......you gotta equip it but it has a lot of slots for ammo etc :smokin2:....i also got fallout 3 today played it for a few hours but am going back to finish dead space first

[GruesomeDuece]

The 360 suit looks pretty cool as well, but that Tier 6 military suit is bad ass.

I'm playing it through again trying to deck out all my weapons and such. I'm gonna do that "beat the game with plasma cutter" achievement last probably. That might be kind of difficult to do, though once it's upgraded that little bastard rocks.

Beating it on hard might not be as bad as I thought originally, bosses aren't too bad and the enemies go done quite easily when you dismember them.

[slimeisacharacter]

The plasma cutter trophy is not that bad really. Besides are few standard spawns, the levels only generate ammo for weapons your currently have equipped. Dump everything except the cutter in the safe and work with a fully upgraded cutter. Between the cutter-only ammo generation, the maxed fire power, and the occassional creative use of ken/stat you should clear the game just fine.

[Misfit]

:smokin2: just finished this bad boy......10/10 :cooldude: what a game!:ahheh: ending got me too

[slimeisacharacter]

:smokin2: just finished this bad boy......10/10 :cooldude: what a game!:ahheh: ending got me too

You jumped at the end scene? Hehe, me too.

[Misfit]

:ahheh: tricky fuckers

[GruesomeDuece]

I didn't jump at the last scene as much as I was paralyzed with fear. Very well made shot.

[Misfit]

:smokin2: dead space 2 is gonna be badass

[slimeisacharacter]

Certainly would enjoy seeing this branch out to a 3+ game series. Definately has the necessary story and enjoyable/addictive gameplay a series needs.

[strtfghtr]

just picked up a copy last night...hope to play the living fuck out of it this weekend

[FrighT MasteR]

Finally beat the game -- freakin' sweet! One of the best third-person survival horror games I've ever played, and ranks as probably the scariest of them all. Great atmosphere, easy controls, fun gameplay. The baddies were tough at times, but not as difficult as some made it seem. Never really died much aside from when machines or something like that would waste me.

Fav. weapons are the Pulse Rifle and Force Gun, especially when you max out the upgrades for'em :rockin:

Probably gonna try to replay this on hard since you get to keep all your gear and items and see how far I make it. I normally don't replay games, especially in hard settings, but I enjoyed this one so much that I'm gonna try it out :thumbup3:

10/10

Step into my office because you are fucking fired.The best survival horror game I have ever played. Great control,brilliant story,selection of weapons I could go on and on. Loved the ending as well didn't expect that.

[Lemmywinks]

I guess you consider any game that makes you wet your pants gay :D

Heh heh. After I beat it I went to normal but didn't keep all my gear I think you only keep your stuff playing the same mode you finished it on.

[3/6]

ya if u like horrible game play, shitty graphics..then i guess its the "one of the greatest survival horror games"
i mean, i playd the demo, and tried the 1st level once my friend let me borrow it, i was so pissed off and disseminated with this garbage...words cant explain myself

0/10


fuck this game

[Lemmywinks]

And it also made you a bad speller.:D

[FrighT MasteR]

Heh heh. After I beat it I went to normal but didn't keep all my gear I think you only keep your stuff playing the same mode you finished it on.

Yeah, I just found out that you only keep it if you load CLEARED GAME :myhead:

0/10


fuck this game

Poor tbagz :itsok:

[Lemmywinks]

Yeah thats a bummer but im still going to play the harder levels this game is a keeper.

[3/6]

sorry, im drunk...why waste time on correcting my grammar on such a bad game


horrible...cant believe u fools lke it so much

the ONLY horror survivor game is RE1, end of story

[Lemmywinks]

Resident Evil 2 was better.Well if ya don't like it ya don't like it. One hell of a game though get more drunk then play.

[GruesomeDuece]

Game was great, which kind of sucks because I think RE5 could've taken a page out of Dead Spaces book when it comes to smooth gameplay and controls.

I beat it on impossible, and it was harder than I thought it would be, mostly because the enemies take a lot more shots to dismember and ammo is scarce as a result. But if you want it to be scarier, and have a greater sense of survival and suspense, play it on impossible (which is unlocked after you beat the game on any setting). It's much more suspenseful when you have to make just about EVERY shot count.

Why im still practicing on the easier levels.

[C.H.U.D.]

I thought about picking this up, but my buddy said he beat it in about 10 hours or less. I watched him play some of it, and it does look pretty damn cool though. I'll rent it soon I guess...

Just a great game. Can't wait to see what is going to happen with the sequel.

[FrighT MasteR]

What's up with the sequel; has there been much talk on it?

[Lemmywinks]

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-222720.aspx
Looking like it and possibly a movie.I just googled it and looks like its confirmed though every article was from late October of last year. Not worried about a movie just another game but thats just me.

Dead Space Wii Game, possible film, and a sequel all are supposedly in the works..

finally got around to beating the game recently, and even though i took a few issues with it I'll give credit where credit is due. It's a great horror videogame for the most part, and the end chapter was actually pretty intense.

[Misfit]

dead space is gonna be a trilogy...maybe it will turn into more then that:tiphat:

Actually there is plenty reason to pre-order a game. Many games came out over the past 5 years that were impossible to get for weeks and\or months if you didn't pre-order. $5 that ends up going towards the price of the game to ensure I get one is worth it to me.

I agree. I pre-ordered RE5 weeks ago and through time have put more money on it which is a bonus. As of now i'll be getting it for half the price.Oh yeah Dead Space!! :metalbang:

yeah that's super hard...took me a while to get by that.

:D
you can tell with how shitty the graphics are

it's on the regular Xbox...not the 360. Looks pretty damn impressive to me on that system.

[Chief Falling Rock]

I just beat the game the other day. very fun game and I would love it if they made another 1. But the ending was stuuuuuuupid.

[Misfit]

its gonna be a trilogy

[FrighT MasteR]

:rockin:

[strtfghtr]

I look forward to the next installment...hopefully the wii one will hold me over till then

[OtepFan616]

Really liked the atmosphere that this game delievered. A trilogy? Thats good news

[Dagon01]

yeah the asteroids mission is a pain in the ass to beat. but on the 3rd try I mastered it lol.

I can't remember, Is the Wii Version A rail shooter?
(you know like what the house of the dead games are)


I look forward to Dead Space 2.
:gunner::zombxplode:

[strtfghtr]

yeah the wii one is like house of the dead but it's story is a prequel to Dead Space so it sounds good to me

[Dagon01]

I may check that out. The Wii Version.

[Judas]

I just bought this for the PC, the controls are alot to swallow

[Cyanide Christ]

Dead space is what Proper sci-fi horror. i'm addicted to this game, can't get enough of it.
