Dead Space is only a week away!


Recommended Posts

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.

Yeah I agree with KICK, a "normal" time difference really between platforms.

Try being a Silent Hill fan just now finding out SH5 which is out in America (has been for about 1 week) is being delayed to Feb 2009 for Europe :/

Off topic ... Any word on why the delay? Is it because of our german cousins and censorship?

No reason for delay yet :(

If I wasn't strapped for cash I'd import it on the PS3 as it's region free, cause I'd really like to play before Feb09 :/ (KZ2 comes out then)

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)

Haha, I was the same way. Glad to see there's going to be a PC version too. :D

it's about 10-12 hours of gameplay.

plus the reviews said that you'll need to go through the game more than once to get every item and to get the full story

one down side is that once you choose a difficulty level, you can't change it at any time during the game, including when you replay it after you finish it

hmmm I don't know.. it doesn't look that interesting to me.. I will have to pass. And I don't find the style of it appealing.. doens't look cool enough compared to games like Gears or even Bioshock. That's just me though. lol.

A small review from Ars
The good

  • Beautiful graphics, strong engine
  • Weapons are original, balanced well
  • Survival horror play makes every decision important
  • Strong story, voice acting, writing
  • Brand new IP, everything feels fresh
  • Deep backstory, which you can explore in multiple ways
  • Scary!

The bad

  • 12 hour playtime and single-player only may make this a rental for some
  • Explaining the stains in your pants

The ugly

  • The masses of gamers who will miss out on an incredible experience because of a DRM-inspired EA boycott

Verdict: Buy

From article linked above.

thank god for gamefly. hopefully I can finish this game within 2 weeks

also, this video sold me on the dead space franchise

I think I'll be picking up the cartoon DVD when it comes out.

Changing the difficulty in the middle of gameplay is a... bad thing?

I just wish they've enhanced the smoothness + graphic quality on the PC. I guess it's third person too on the PC? (looking at how you need to see your health and the video feed straight on your character)

I hate seeing those console games ported straight to the PC (you can even sometimes see the "Vibration on/off" setting on the options O_o)

well, if I finish the game and thought it was too easy and would like a challenge, I would like the option to try a higher difficulty level

Well that part makes sense, but I never understood the concept of changing the difficulty in the middle of a campaign.

From what ive heard it only applys if you want to move your character across with all the items and ect you found. other wise you can change it if you dont want to do a move.

  • 4 weeks later...

Just want to say this game is freakin awesome. My game of the year so far.

EA has redeemed themselves for awhile and proved they can still make a kick butt game with tons of gore and a great atmosphere.

Its like RE4 but in space.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
