Dead Space - so good even the taint of EA couldn't ruin it (at least this title in the series).
Dead Space is such a quality game made by passionate developers that even the taint of EA couldn't drag it down. Well, at least this title in the series.

Released in 2008, Dead Space is an action horror title with heavy inspiration from Resident Evil 4 and System Shock 2. Dead Space comes from an odd period in EA's timeframe where there were pushes for more original IPs (before they drove them into the ground - some things never change). Dead Space is one of the most immersive, atmospheric, and best-paced games I have ever played
It's one of the most immersive, atmospheric, and best-paced games I've ever played. Each section doesn't overstay its welcome, constantly changing up, and knows just when to end, not feeling that it was too short. Dead Space is consistent in quality throughout and doesn't have any major drops in quality.
This Dead Space review/analysis/critique/retrospective will look at how Dead Space came together, the atmosphere, the setting, combat & weapons, zero gravity, the amazing UI, sound design, the horror elements, plot analysis (spoilers), along with what happened to the Dead Space franchise, and why you should be excited for the Callisto Protocol.

I think Isaac is so calm in the opening cutscene of the game is because we probably weren't supposed to see his face. I always thought that it was weird that camera actually allowed you to rotate camera in that section, so probably it's an oversight

@efxnews4776 3 года назад

Honestly, i may be a the exception, but i don't think Isaac should be a silent protagonist in the first game... Somehow it always look awkward during conversations... Silent protagonists work in some rpgs like fallout, or when theres a reason to like for Doom slayer wich is as alien as the demons he fight. Dead Space is a very linear game, with a straight storyline, Isaac isn't a demon slayer, he is just an engineer.

EA normally waits a bit before ruining devs they own. They buy them and then wait about 1 or 2 games before sucking the life out of them.

Honestly, the voice actor of Isaac is great, they did a good job in Dead Space 2. And in fact for a game so realistic as Dead space, a silent protagonist sound kinda awkward, the game is almost perfect in any way, but is in during those conversations that It falls flat... It makes sense a silent protagonist for Doom Slayer he is almost as alien as the demons he faced, it kind gives and aura of a mighty archangel who does understand the language of mankind, but doesn't speak it. Issac is no demon slayer, he is just an engineer, theres no reason for him to be a silent protagonist.

In order to change the V-sync Value manually you must locate the settings.txt (show hidden files enabled) located at (User)\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\Dead Space\settings.txt. once open you can change the V-sync Value from 60 to 120 (or double your Monitors Refresh rate). By doing this you should have a proper 60fps with V-sync. So in settings.txt if the V-sync Value is 60, the game will run at 30, if the value is 120 it will run at 60fps, at 240 it will run at 120fps and so on. **Please Note** you will still have potential physics and wall glitches if you run the game over 60, the game was not designed to run higher** The game engine cuts the refresh rate in half whenever you enable V-sync so doubling it in the Settings.txt "Tricks" the game into thinking it cuts it in half. BUGS & STUTTERS BE GONE!! Hope this helps.

@elielc.8459 3 года назад

Dead Space is without a doubt one of my favorite game IPs of all time, so I'll take any chance I can get to see the series be revived. One of them, like you mentioned, could be a remaster. Even though graphically the games have aged quite well, I wouldn't mind another excuse to replay them. The other would be new entry in VR or adaptation of an existing one to VR. I feel like Dead Space is definitely one of those series that would translate better to VR than most (looking at you Far Cry 3). The in-world HUDs and inventory menus, the limb dismemberment mechanic, the suits, the horror. It's good opportunity that EA will probably miss out on, sadly.

Dead Space is an amazingly atmospheric game, however we are now 13 years past its original release date and it STILL has the same graphical bugs that kill the game during the first 15 minutes, during the turret boss fight section, and finally the final chapter dragging the Marker along for me after all this time. That this happens without fail, and requires the same solution everytime is still the only reason I go back to DS2 over the first any time I play the series.

Hi boulder punch I’m a relatively new fan and I watched your old videos on thief and how it had really good sound design I was wondering if you’ve played a game called hunt showdown it’s a multiplayer can that heavily relies on sound and being cautious I recommend it if you haven’t played it

@grittynerd 3 года назад

The level design never really is so complex that the navigation path is essential, i usually find it more useful in the second game to check if i need to backtrack for stores/etc or new ones are available in the new area. But certainly there are some cases (like in Dead Space 3) where some paths seem a bit too similar (or confusing, some zero gravity areas) and it's faster to check the path. It kinda sucks that with this feature basically you never check the 3D map but i think it's interesting when games try to use that approach. Some games like Daggerfall have one that is more of a confusioning mess than something useful but it's find to check titles that try to use it. Some weeks ago for example i was replaying RE: Revelations and i found it has a 3D map, curiously a cruise ship is split in a grid of cubes, joined together where floors/rooms/corridors/etc are. Kinda interesting approach ;)

I personally think that they won’t do a Dead Space trilogy remaster. Unless they change some portions of the code between them to add dlc for the first two games and some way the earn the mk-v parts without going online on the third game. Even if they release the first two without dlc for PC they still have tackle the mk-k parts situation.

@Zamusss 3 года назад

Wouldn't too hard, they can honestly entirely ignore the enhanced parts all together or just make them auto unlocks on NG+ or as a reward for beting the game on X difficulty.

@SolSeal 3 года назад

@@Zamusss we are talking about EA. :) . And you have the example of ME Remaster collection that missed 1 or 2 dlc. Even though they weren’t very important at their time… it gives you an idea of what could happen if there was a DS collection. They could have added them but they chose not to make the effort to do it. I doubt they want to get more backlash because of differences between versions like there were between the console and pc versions of the first two DS.

@Totone56 3 года назад

@@SolSeal To be fair to Bioware, they tried to get the missing Mass Effect DLC back, but some of the source code was missing. They explained it in great lenghts during an interview, having contacted old members of the studios, trying to find the physical hard drives used 15 years ago to see if something was on there, etc, it's not about an "effort" to make, the material was just lost, hard to do anything about that ... The could have remade it from scratch, but it wouldn't fit the game at all and stand out like a sore thumb. (Pinnacle Station was really useless and boring anyway, it was just a "gun course" DLC on a space station with no tie to the main plot in a game where gunplay was a weak point)

I’ve always loved the dead space franchise nice balance of horror and action that is the case for the one and two , three was to much action and the lore was hard to follow in the third game really enjoyed the first and second game didn’t like the third at all , also I enjoyed the animated movies and series surrounding the dead space series

The first Dead Space worked so well for me because it perfectly captured that isolated feeling that the first Alien movie did so well. It's an often related but rarely well done formula, and when it works it's my favorite genre.

@MintyLime703 2 года назад

15:00 I just finally played through Dead Space for the first time and I almost immediately forgot about the locator. I played nearly the entire game without directions. Very rarely did I need to use the map but it was atrocious. But what stuck out to me is how I didn't need it. The ship seemed realistic enough and my objectives made clear enough that I could easily find my way around without getting lost at all. Near the end of the game I finally rediscovered the locator and I started using it quite a bit in the last two chapters. Way more than was necessary even though I probably already knew where i was going. So although it's a good feature for people who get lost easily it's also really tempting to abuse. Now that I'm on Dead Space 2 I've been using it to see the main path so I can avoid it and explore side areas first. Also similarly to the System Shock games and Resident Evil series I can still map out areas in my head well after having finished the game. Especially the early game chapters and the bridge. That's some good shit.

One of the best horror games of all time. When I played for the platinum, the plasma cutter only-run was actually the easiest. You unlock all the perks fast, get more ammo and get a lot better at aiming with it and you learn the flow of it. Like the amount of stopping power you need for which enemy. I felt very unstoppable.

To be honest, DS isn't the most terrifying game i have played... Alien: Isolation hold the bar higher, is absolutely terrifying be completely powerless against the alien, that in the game is basically imortal, all you can do is hide from him and pray that he doesn't smell you under a desk or find you inside a locker. Isaac was pretty much a space Rambo from the start, while Amanda Ripley was basically her mother in the first movie.

Great job on this video, you earned yourself a new subscriber! Such an awesome game! I was 13 as it came out and I fucking loved it! Also scared the shit out of me, but in the best way. The limited hud, the gameplay relevant gore & dissmemberment, the gothic architecture of the ship. This is the type of game influencing people to get into game development (at least in my case :D) with great design and very competent execution. Just like they were inspired by the system shock series, I'm part of a generation inspired by dead space.
