I really hope this is all not true because I don't want to play online with somebody else to platinum the game.

Aside from aegies (whose credentials for said information I do not know, though I'm guessing journalist for knowing the embargo date), the only other source with this information was a post on GameFAQs stating this. No sourcing, but just their word to go on.

There is a copy floating out there somewhere in the dark bowels of the internet [supposedly], but so far no one has discussed anything at all. To me that's a bit bizarre, considering many AAA titles are leaked by this point.

 

[Proposed Law]

I'm so ready for this. Dead Space is probably my favorite new IP this generation.

Spoiler

next to Souls series

Where there has been other great new IP's who have had given us hits and misses, Dead Space has given us nothing but quality. Looking forward to a new chapter in this series.

He's Arthur Gies, formerly of IGN and currently of Polygon. I'm also assuming he's reviewing the game for Polygon.

I looked at the achievement list and there are plenty that involve co-op so unless you can do AI co-op there are a lot of people who won't be able to 100% the game for whatever reason. I am sure there are many copies already out there.

He also has played the first 4 chapters (and maybe now even the whole game) of the review copy. He also told us how the Hardcore mode would work in the demo thread earlier last week.

He knows what's up.

 

[Meatvillain]

Eyy, I like the sound of pure survival mode.

 

[Lucid07]

Really don't know whether to get this when it releases or wait a bit. Finished Dead Space 1 last week for the first time and have 2 ready to play. Guess I'll just see when I finish 2 by.

 

[WrenchNinja]

And I thought DS2's hardcore mode was bullshit. I wonder if it's set to normal, but only at one life. Damn, I'm never going to do either of these.

Ok good to know. I'll be sure to read up on some of his work when I get the chance.

Sorry, but it's Zealot, as are Classic and Pure Survival.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why would you do this to me Visceral?

 

[SeriousApes]

Crap.. I need to finish up 2 this week. I bought it at launch. No idea why I take so long to finish games.

Man, same here. I remember getting a good deal on it with the gaming coupons and discounts from Kmart during that time. But it doesn't really count as a good deal if it drops to $20 by the time I actually play it.

 

[BeardyChan]

As a dead space fan I can't wait to get my hands on retail. But on the other hand I feel that the series is going a different direction with this game. I can say without spoiling anything that you all are in for one hell of a crazy trip.

Please play this game with a coop partner, you won't regret it. This game really benefits from having a coop element that actually works well. And the folks at Visceral really gave it their fullest attention from inception to retail. Working on things that make for a great coop experience not one that feel's tacked on.

I wish I would have gotten a dev box, if only I would have known about it.

How... do you know this?

 

[Shoogoo]

You can't play co-op offline with 2 xbox linked?

 

[Lowlander2]

As the sole guy who thought that Dead Space 2's gameplay was the zenith of over-the-shoulder action (Resi 4 excluded), I'm skeptical beyond words. There was a point where I said I probably wouldn't buy this after all, but it turns out I have money to burn. So, expect a review from me a day or three after this game is released in Australia.

 

[Fezzan]

Meh, this loooks kinda like every other third person game with no cover, I will pick it up for £20 when it gets there.

How... do you know this?

He's... from the future!!!

 

[TangerineCloud]

Oh my GOD, Hard Core mode sounds absolutely brutal this time around. Finishing DS2 on HC already pushed me to my limits. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this one...

Anyone know if you can at least do NG+ on Hard Core mode now? That'd help offset the increased difficulty a bit.

 

[Ushojax]

Need more Ellie!

One of my favorite game moments ever was the fake out ending to DS2. Where Isaac saves the day and just sits down to relax and wait for his death. Just a perfect summation of the character and his journey up to that point.

I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes harder than I did at that scene. Did you honestly not see that coming? I just knew they wouldn't have the balls to just leave him there.

Anyway, I'll wait until this hits the £10 mark before I bite.

 

[Lima]

May wanna add to the OP that the 360 version is 2 discs again. Just in case some people still wonder.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I guess we don't get a PC demo?

Spoiler

I already have it pre-orderd for PC

 

[Messofanego]

lol perfection. Great job on OT!

 

[The_Monk]

Will get this later on for cheap and will play on full Co-op just like Resident Evil 6, have a buddy to play it and it's going to be fun. The hard part will be to get the same time to play since life, work, wife/girlfriend, etc is the priority at the moment for both.

Played the demo to the end, have a ME3 save file so that's a nice bonus, I guess.

EDIT: Good op, also!

those on the fence can see some bit of gameplay here, friend is playing !

[Tymerend]

I'm still kind of on the fence regarding this, and as always, will probably wait for more reviews and opinions from folks I know before taking the plunge.

I like the look of it, and I enjoyed the first two games. The weapon crafting system seems kinda nifty, as well.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Maybe see an optometrist first.

That was the only scene in a game to ever make me feel queasy.

 

[RockTurtle]

graphics look nice too

 

[TentPole]

Do you know which version he is playing?

 

[Nirolak]

Remember everyone, even if the OT is up, significant new information like new modes should still go in a new thread.

 

[Lima]

Do you know which version he is playing?

360 of course. What other version would you be able to play a week before release if you are not a reviewer.

The greatness of that scene wasn't that he did or didn't die, its how he accepted his death. Of course he would be saved.

Watched a few minutes. Looking good.

Can't wait to dig into this next week with a friend.

Well, the music sounds pretty great.

Watching this stream has restored a lot of my faith in the game. Looks like the "Gears of Uncharted Space" parts don't represent the majority of the game.

 

[ironcreed]

The inclusion of classic mode, as well as the others gives me a ray of hope. Very thoughtful additions and I at least have to give them props for that.

 

[Takamura-San]

Link to Eyeball Machine fail GIF, with a warning for sensitive readers.

I remember failing this and jumping from the scare.

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

Well, the music sounds pretty great.

Sound design and atmosphere seem top notch, as usual.

 

[Calmine]

This I like. Tried the demo out it was alright and did give me some Thing vibes. I would certainly buy but I'll wait till it's cheap. Plus my backlog urgh.

It is definitely more Dead Space-y. Would be funny if this ended up being one of those cases where I was not fond of the demo, but ended up loving the game. The classic mode and traditional building of weapons from blueprints makes me not care as much if there are options for others to buy weapons via micro-transactions. As the original way of playing was thoughtfully included. Still plan to rent at this point, but it is looking better.

That isn't how the micros work at all. You buy resource packs that give you all those resources you use to craft, and then use those to build weapons.

Edit: You're basically paying money for money.

Yes, I know it's for the resources/parts, I just said weapons for short. And I still think it is cheap, btw. But the addition of classic mode (among others), micro-transactions being optional and the footage I am watching in a stream has improved my opinion of the game quite a bit.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Loved 1 and 2 hoping 3 shares the same experiences I had prior. Even Extraction was great. I just realized that I downloaded the Severed, DLC when it was on sale a couple of months ago. I guess I'll start it tonight to get it finished before 3 comes out.

 

[DigiMish]

Is the dev edition really all sold out?

 

[1st Course]

[ArkkAngel007]

Posted yet?

Aegies gave us the day, but not the time. 9am PST is sort of weird, but oh well.

Without spoiling anything, the side missions look fantastic and it seems like the team really had a ball with them. One of the enemies returning in this game I'm not happy with the design and animations at all.

 

[Andrew.]

Thread needs more Phil Collins.

Someone needs to shop a Necro coming out of his mouth or something.

 

[Plissken]

I guess we don't get a PC demo?

Spoiler

I already have it pre-orderd for PC

I think at this point we can assume one isn't coming. All I hope for now is that the DLC comes to PC. Can CodeCow/MonkeyPants or someone from Visceral confirm/deny if PC will get any DLC for this game? Or are the overlords at EA keeping you mum on the topic?

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

Nice OT!


Thanks for the info aegies.
