Dead Space

[LordSappington]

Looks like it's going to be a pretty badass game. What do you guys think?

[Guitar Woman]

System Shock 2 and Doom 3 is what I think, but I liked both of those.

Well, ok, one of those. It does look pretty interesting.

[darkvare]

it seems ok but i wish there was a demo so i can try it first

[Dimnos]

Looks bad ass and I cant wait to try it

[wobzire]

This is one of the few games coming out in the near future I'm excited about. However I have horrible taste in games so thats bad news.

[LordSappington]

I was at GameStop and the girl who works at the store was showing me the art book that comes with a pre ordered copy, and damned if it didn't look AWESOME. It even had fairly functional 3D pages in it.

[Skab Redd]

Upon seeing the trailer, I had two initial reactions...
1. Girls singing nursery rhymes in montage to astronauts being torn to shreds by aliens isn't really scary.
2. I want to kill one of those alien things.
So this'll probably be a Christmas lister.

[LordSappington]

The nursery rhymes WERE kinda lame, but still, it looks damned awesome.

[Supafly345]

I'll play it. Even though it is just recycling everything from other games.

I think I'll wait until I see some reviews first.

Gamespot has some wood for it: Dead Space review

[Nick]

Gamespot takes it in the pocket, though.

[pac-man]

1up also has a chubby.

[Fathom Zero]

Holy shiit, this game is so fucking scary and fun simultaneously. So much fun.

I call it a buy.

[OxBlood]

And I wish it would ship...I really should go for an agreement with every big publisher that they send me a copy of the game THE SECOND it goes Gold. First thing to do: Mail it to Oxblood.

[Nick]

I bought it, I guess I'll have to hurry up and play it before Fable 2 and Fallout 3 gets here.

[pac-man]

Fable II is already here.

[Nick]

My copy doesn't get here until October, 27. You dick.

[pac-man]

Well, hey, you got Dead Space to keep you occupied in the meantime.

[Sam]

I'd rather have Dead Space then Fable 2.

Just sayin'.

[LordSappington]

The lights in the game are designed after dentist lights; that's what REALLY gets me; I'm terrified of dentists.
It was kinda cool, though; I couldn't put my finger on what was creeping me out so bad, then I saw that Sci vs. Fi the other night and they explained it.

After spending a healthy amount of time with Fable 2, I might be inclined to agree with you. The co-op is pretty fun, but healing my hero with food has made him a fatty.

[OxBlood]

Ok, so mine came yesterday...finally. Got to Chapter 6 and I REALLY like what they did. The atmosphere is wonderful, the main character looks excellent (I like suits with helmets/masks), the weapons feel good and interesting, they even managed to design the standart weapon well, something many games don´t get right.

The scares are pretty good too, even though the necromorphs stop being scary around chapter 4 I´d say, since you got used to them bursting through vents and stuff. Heck, even the german dub is very good and that´s a really rare thing. I´m willing to say, Dead Space is an absolutely excellent Game, a fun package. Unless it really declines in the second half, but I don´t really believe that. The thing with the dentists lights is something I must have missed, I never noticed that, but then again, I don´t care if a dentist is drilling my teeth *shrugs*

I also like the fact that you only get ammo-drops for you equipped weapons, makes it easy to focus on your favorite tools.

[Guitar Woman]

I think this game is all right!

Isaac has the greatest curb stomp since Henry Townshend, although I think if I couldn't cut off the heads and limbs of corpses I'd barely ever use it.

Also could third person action game developers learn how to make a game with fucking decent aiming please ok thanks

[DeadKennedys]

Yep, best curb stomp this side of American History X. Shame that it takes about 20 to kill even the basic slashers (at least on hard). Pretty damn incredible game, think The Thing + Event Horizon. I would've liked a few more bosses but I'm just nitpicking.

It's scary, or at least tense and atmospheric, the whole way through... but for those internet tough guys that *never get scared*, you will shit your pants during a certain cutscene, I guarantee it.

Anyway, on my 2nd playthrough going for the One Gun achievement, hoo boy
