Hmm... gotta wait for some more reviews, but thinking this is turning into a fallout 3 pre-order since it is between the 2 games... Nothing against the quality of the game and I'll still pick it up later, just not up for a lot of back tracking (reminds me of Devil May Cry 4). I'll have saints row 2 to keep me pre-occupied anyway.

 

[rollingstart]

Only 8.7?
Wasnt it getting "better than RE4" type reviews in other places?

It will be good but RE5 will walk all over it.

IGN boosts up review scores based on the how well the series or developer is known. Read the Saints Row 2 review where it is pretty much "SR2 compared to nostalgic GTA4 memories from a few months ago" where the guy says clunky lock-on is better than free aim.

 

[Witchfinder General]

Sweet, a new horror game for the missus and I.

I'll be selecting 'easy' difficulty.

Also, those with Insider: What's IGN's verdict on which platform is better? If they're the same I'll just buy the PS3 version, probably.

The game at one point was looking like the most cookie-cutter, generic game imaginable. A pure product of focus groups. It's come a very long way.

Game is gonna be amazing.

To be fair, he does say the backtracking is acceptable. DMC4 was a total trainwreck.

Who said there isn't a complete story in there? There are even additional graphic novels and an animated movie to expand the story of the game.

The possibility of a sequel doesn't mean that the story isn't conclusive, and even if it isn't that's not necesserily bad or speaks for lack of depth.

i hope you're right. but i've played too many games lately that would contradict this.

 

[The-Switcher]

Was considering a buy, but will definately go for it now.

Funny that this tramples all over Homecoming.

 

[Don]

Is there going to be a demo for this? The footage in the video review looks great but there are so many games coming out this year that I'm not sure if I will have time for this as well.

 

[border]

"repetitive......backtracking"

Rental.

 

[overthehill99]

There were some reports that the PS3 version was a little ruff a couple of weeks ago.

I thought I read somewhere that PS3 was the lead platform. True?

 

[kassatsu]

I might pick this up in Jan, too much to play right now.

 

[Oneself]

It looks quite interesting, I'll wait for other reviews...


...too many games....

 

[Iron_Scimitar]

awesome score. still not buying cuz i dont wanna shit my pants.

 

[dasupremeone]

The 360 was

 

[rollingstart]

new game plus! awesome.

And about comparing the two console versions of the game, I haven't really seem slow down in the 360 versions like I have in the PS3 videos, but that could have been fixed up by now. Then again, I haven't seen 360 videos with as many enemies at the same time as I did in the IGN PS3 videos.

 

[sublime085]

This just entered my must-buy list a few days ago. Good to see the favorable reviews so far.

Anyone making an official thread?

 

[anddo0]

Too many games I was kinda hoping this game would bomb:lol

But with the good review plus impressive showing in Qore. I may just have to pick this one up.

I don't see how its standing next to the RE series is relevant outside of "the game plays similarly to RE4". You kids and your need to rank everything.

 

[Wag]

Don't forget to check out all the Animated Comics (6 parts), and the Deadspace: Downfall DVD/BLU-Ray which starts off right after and leads into the game.

 

[∀ Narayan]

...too many games....

Yeah, I know. :\

This looks like Resident Evil 4 meets System Shock 2. I'm pleased.

 

[Creamium]

So stoked for this game

*crosses fingers for no region lock*

 

[Fizzle]

The 360 was

Didn't EA say they'd start making multiplatform games with PS3 as lead platform?

Did that mu'fucka just lie to our faces? TH 'FUCK are they thinking?

 

[TheExodu5]

You can't change difficulty on replays? WTF!?

 

[a Master Ninja]

Sorry if this is already common knowledge, but will there be a demo?

 

[neojubei]

I will have to pre-order this tomorrow in order to get that art book.

 

[DreamMachine]

I wonder how long the game is .. anyone 12- 14 hours?

 

[rjcc]

I thought I read somewhere that PS3 was the lead platform. True?

when scoble saw it at EA he said ps3 looked better, then. does the review mention it?

 

[Danielsan]

I hate that I've become part of this crowd but are there any visual differences between the PS3 and the 360 version? As a PS360 owner I kinda want the best possible experience also importing the PS3 version from Canada will save me €15 (not sure if the 360 version is region free).

 

[Draft]

I've replayed RE4 probably at least 12 times. No joke. Favorite game. Played it to death. Of those 12, 10 were probably Professional difficulty. Of those 12, 0 were New Game +. Because that shit isn't fun. The game is balanced around starting with a handgun and a couple boxes of ammo, not a maxed out shotgun and sniper rifle and bullet proof vest and half a dozen grenades.

However, lack of a quick 180 turn is critical. I'll shave a Goddamn point off for that alone. 180 turn just feels good, and is solid design. Oh well, always Dead Space 2.

 

[Tiktaalik]

That seems pretty good. I'm cautiously optimistic!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Sold! Already was on radar but the video review sealed the deal. Im a space horror junky.

 

[Doc Evils]

Here I thought this game was going to be bad. Nice one EA.

 

[gondwana]

Shame the PC version is delayed an extra week. Probably going to double-dip due to GAFhype.

 

[lostxii]

Great Score, although kind of expected.

 

[Corrupt]

Sorry if this is already common knowledge, but will there be a demo?

Seem there won't be

Andrew Green over at EA today let Xbox Evolved know that there "will be no demo" for Dead Space. Seems that, "the developers focused on the final game instead of a slice for demo to focus on quality."

 

[Future PhaZe]

I'm looking to be pretty surprised by this game. I've been on a blackout for this for a few months now so I don't know much more than its basic features.

I'm incredibly interested though. Complete real time involvement in a survival horror is absolutely necessary to me. You shouldn't be able to hide. The game sounds incredibly tense as well with difficult enemies that force you to use precision and to prioritize with no real way pause the action.

 

[Amir0x]

Can't fucking wait, looks incredible

 

[permutated]

8.7? About what I was expecting.

Stellar audio and voice work? Fuck now I have to play it.

 

[Enduin]

Tuesday morning cannot come soon enough. Screw homework and papers.

 

[Lambtron]

I will be buying this game.

 

[Wag]

Only bad thing is the game comes out Tues the 14th and the BLU doesn't come out until Tues the 28th! Who scheduled that?

Do you know when it will be airing on Starz?

 

[Kiriku]

As a big fan of horror games I will give it a try, although I have this feeling it won't really be scary (enough). Hearing about the excellent sound design makes me slightly more hopeful, could add a lot to the atmosphere.

 

[Arkaerial]

Ooh yes this will be mine, since it always reminded of a "what if" The Thing meets Event Horizon.

Now which system should I get it for. I'd prefer the PC for textures and higher frame rates, but I don't have it going through my stereo. I want it for the PS3 for the audio, but I want it for the 360 for the controller...grrr decisions decisions.

 

[Wag]

Do you know when it will be airing on Starz?

I have no idea, but I think I'll be buying the BLU anyways as it has a DTS-MA lossless soundtrack and hidden codes and other extras (along with 1080p, which of course the Starz broadcast won't offer).

Why do you people always do this?

Buy a wired 360 controller and use it on your PC.

 

[No_Style]

Anyone going all out with the Dead Space lore? There's the Blu-ray and novel coming...

I just checked Amazon.ca and I'm very tempted to pull the trigger and pick it up for $54.99...

 

[Ken Masters]

RE4 had a story that would insult the mentally challenged


if this games story is actually good, I may need to check this out

 

[Wag]

Why do you people always do this?

Buy a wired 360 controller and use it on your PC.

You don't even need that. If you have a 360 wireless controller, all you need is the 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows. The wired controller will plug right into any USB port.
