Dead Space is only a week away!

[Massiveterra]

All of my excitement of seeing Event Horizon for the first time is coming back. can't wait for this.

I'm a little hesitant about the real-time menu but whatevs. This game is already getting GOTY nods.

what I find most interesting is their re-invention of the HUD, where your energy level is indicated by the lights on your spine, your ammo located on your gun, and cut-scenes used as holograms.

They've implemented most of the backstory in the environment and backgrounds, similar to Portal, Bioshock, etc

Basically there idea of the HUD/Story/Cut Scenes is the way games should be. However, it requires effort to do.. so most games just dont bother :p

I think DL and I were just talking about this yesterday. He would have to verify that, I dont remember. :laugh:

But it does look good. Now i'm thinking about it. Probably will wait to see some reviews first.

Too many games, so little time...

My wife's gonna hate me. I'll be locked in my office all day and night playing these kick-ass games that are releasing within in the next month!!!!

[Massiveterra]

I really hope there's no places in the game where you're upgrading your weapon/armor in the real-time menu and monsters start attacking you and you have no clue what's going on

Hah, i think my mrs is dreading the coming months... to many games coming out! :|

[Unimatrix Xero]

im really looking forward to this on PC

My wife's gonna hate me.

Wives do seem a bit redundant at this time of the year hey. Good for bringing food to the PC mind. :p

Anyway this games one I might look at in a few months. I haven't followed it but it does seem pretty cool but what with half a dozen games coming out now too it doesn't yet factor into my list. Hope it's a good game but as it may be one to grab in Jan/Feb.

it looks raelly good!!! i wish the plot was different and it wasn't soo alienny and bloody. i personally just get too scared of games like this and can't play.... there have been plenty of good games that i just can't play because of this. i hate it...

[Massiveterra]

IGN gives it a 8.7

I have to admit it does look very nice indeed, but I cannot dismiss the one thing that I notice in all of the game play trailers thus far, and that is it looks very clunky when using the weapons. Hopefully I am wrong, but this is one of those games that I will definitely have to try a demo first before committing myself to a purchase, especially after my recent splurge on building a new PC :)

Does anyone know if a demo is forthcoming? Major Nelson's site hasn't mentioned anything :(

:laugh: It's nice to know I am not the only one who has to deal with it, as I have literally been prepping my wife for the upcoming holiday gaming season for at least the past month now.

It started off as small little reminders, like;

"Remember, The Holidays mean lots of games for me to play."

Then I eventually made much clearer statements, for example today I said out of nowhere;

"Dead Space. SOCOM. Little Big Planet. Far Cry 2. Fallout 3. 5 games I want to play, and unbelievably all 5 are coming out in just the next 2 weeks!!"

So I think that made it pretty clear what my intentions are whenever I have free time.

Dead Space is Game #1 on my list of incoming games by default as it has the earliest release date of the bunch.

It also helps I am actually quite looking forward to it as well. They have talked it up to be scary, and I want it to definitely deliver.

It looks like an interesting game.

Got into it by reading the prequel comics and now also looking forward for the prequel movie.

I hope there is a demo so I can try it because from the videos I saw I am not too sure :/

[Massiveterra]

After a few searches on the interweb, I don't think there will be a demo for this game, unless it will be up after the game is released

[qdave]

interesting. first time i hear of this and i think i will enjoy it.

[Remysaus]

the more i see of the game, the more i want it, but there's just too much coming out right now that i'll have to wait for it to drop in price or get it second hand in a few months. I just don't get paid enough for all this :p

[PricklyPoo]

I'm really excited, i love the horror kinda games, looks fun.

Still hard to decide whether to buy this, fallout 3, or farcry 2...hmmm

Well my computer is too slow to play any of them above minimum settings anyway. :(

[gigapixels Veteran]

I'll be honest, I hadn't even heard about this game until I read the IGN review yesterday. It sounds amazing from what I can tell, and I'm about to watch the GameTrailers preview that was linked in the OP.

I'm looking forward to it for sure (Y)

[sin-ergy]

Cool I didn't know there was a review out already. I can't wait!!! :) :) :)

Thats a shame because I am not sure if I will buy it unless there is a demo to try! Will wait to see what the reviews are like also.

[trix]

does anyone know if there are any feature differences between the ps3/360 versions? - i'm undecided which console to get it for at the moment :/

[sin-ergy]

Well ****, the PC release date isn't until October 20. WTF EA?
