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.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
