Dead Space is only a week away!


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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)

Thanks :)

Also doing well here - http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/...?q=dead%20space

(I prefer Metacritic)

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

That's only a week longer, what seems to be the issue? At least its not months.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
