Dead Space 2

[theshadowcult]

I am glad it does not look any more action orientated than the first one, even though they said it would be. I don't like seeing his face though... it's like seeing freeman's face, kills the whole point of the character.

they honestly never did say that. They just said they will improve the action and make it a lot more fun, not that there will be more of it. Now every press event they do is started with producr explaining the proportions of horror to action are still the same
The game looks spectacular, no game from E3 line-up at recent London event made such a big impression of me as this one

[KAC]

This is turning out to be exciting. Loved the first one though end boss in first was like someone threw a turd at the game. Too easy but I loved this game and the associated comics and movie and all that jizz.

It's different though, you can see Isaac's face in dead space on two occasion and you can read his memo/thoughts on the objective screen, so not exactly the freeman type.

Can't wait for the sequel, it's just more dead space with better graphics, just the way I want it

[Sundance Kid V2]

Wicked!!

[theshadowcult]

I know that, but i still think it will detract from the character if we see more of him. A few lines and things is fine, but seeing the character in 3rd person ruins it.

The last scene on dead space is in 3rd person too

But I agree, if the cutscenes are all like that in game it'll ruin the immersion.

Hopefully that's just the cg for the trailer/intro.

[BobbyRPI2712]

I'm going to have to check out the first one, it looks like I may have missed it the first time around.

[Payne3d]

I thought the main character died at the end of Dead Space?

No.

Looks great, cant wait to play it.

I heard that the PS3 version of Dead Space 2 will come with Dead Space: Extraction, compatible with PS Move. So it will be like 2 games in one.

Can't wait.

Sony is realling throwing money at PS3 devs (Mafia has 25 dlc missions before the game is released )

Seems like L4D, you will most likely be able to play the necromorphs, I bet. Man this studio keeps getting compared to other games. First God of War and now L4D.

You are correct.

here is a very long article about the multiplayer:
http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1119849p1.html

damn, I can't read all of that.

You are correct.

multiplayer should have been called Left 4 Dead Space

[acroig]

multiplayer should have been called Left 4 Dead Space

If you see the GameTrailers show the Dead Space 2 devs calls it EXACTLY that.

[KingRoLo]

I think my only real complaint about the original was that i dont have any desire to replay it, maybe thats because its was very linear and story based but i will probably replay it just before DS 2 comes out just to reaquaint myself with the story.

[Ziklitschli]

Maybe proper AA this time... got tired of browsing German forums to correctly downsample the first one.

How is it done? Does it work with nV only?

Do tell!

Btw it does not work for me with the moment, I think I'll mess with the monitor driver a little and try again. Don't know when, 3 months old son does not leave you a lot of time for geekdom

[acroig]

Thanks! Good luck with your 3 month old, I remember what that was like.

Man I am still playing through Dead Space 1. God damn some parts they really push the M rating to it's limits! It's crazy how much gore there is in this game, I've never seen anything like it.

Plus you see really ****ed up things. Things like guys without skin and their guts hanging out knocking their heads against the wall. Then a chick torturing some dude with a saw and then killing herself. Not to mention, blood, brains, corpses and guts scattered all around the floor, especially at the morgue (duh ).

I remember when the NPC tells you "ok, make your way through the morgue to the captain! the way should be clear all the way through!" I was like "yeah right..."

They really pushed this game to the absolute limit of M.

Don't you love it!?

[Progression]

Don't you love it!?

I appreciate the boldness of it, sure. I was still impressed they didn't get an AO rating though.

I wonder if they are going to go in the same direction with Dead Space 2? Surely the majority of people who bought Dead Space couldn't tolerate the content and finish the game? It intrigues me.

I am a pretty resilient fella, but even this is on a pretty high level of gore. Haven't seen any other game with this amount of persistent and "realistic" gore.

[Ziklitschli]

Thank you very much In fact the kid is very silent/ calm but not a good idea to leave him with wife and go gaming to the other side of the house where my main PC is. That's even without mentioning that the house is kind of creepy at night, lot of strange sounds, no close neighbours and not very populated area overall. Add the fact that people visiting me were describing people they saw here who at the time were already dead (first time visitors and low chances they heard about those dead people before) and my gaming hours shrink to daytime with sun at full blast

So evenings I sit with them and my netbook, watch Trailer Park Boys, play Europa Universalis and post here

Yes, great game

[Ziklitschli]

Does it work with nV only?

DX9 downsampling is explained for nV only but should work with ATI imo fooling the monitor it can go higher res and using CCC GPU scaling option but it's only a wild guess.

DX10/11 looks like it is for both vendors (again just a guess) but I didn't analyze it beyond first read because SSAA tool is easier and probably better IQ.

Would be nice from both ATI and nV to make AA work somehow in Dead Space. I can force AO from nVidia CP and that paired with SSAA would make me one happy terrorized IQ w**** geek

[theshadowcult]

While the amount of gore in it is amazing for an M rated game... you do have to ask yourself, "WTF?", when this gets an M rating... but Fahrenheit gets an R18+/AO rating because it has a sex scene in it...

[nomore]

don't forget to tweet your own lullaby verse

[bob saget]

first one was one of the best games i ever played. period. glad i paid full price for it. second one better deliver

[Perky McGiggles]

Yeah, no kidding.

Also, I don't get the rating system. Mature = adults while AO = adults?

[theshadowcult]

Mature only means 15 (17 in some countries) plus, or teen adult, it is stupid though.

[KAC]

Can't wait for this one. Sad part is that I will have to get both PS3 and PC versions because I want to play Dead Space Extraction also. This is really annoying to be honest...

[mabran]

Yeah, no kidding.

Also, I don't get the rating system. Mature = adults while AO = adults?

Ratings much like censorship is heavily influenced by the governing bodies moral/religious beliefs.

In the US, a child can be exposed to violence just fine but the moment a naked body is shown OMG that is evil and only adults can see it.

I'm all for a belief system in our lives but they need to keep their religious beliefs out of my viewing/gaming life.

The difference between an M and an AO is probably just virtual nakedness in some form or another and quite frankly I don't get the hooplah over it.

[ViCyniC]

Yeah, to me AO just seems like the prudish version of M.

I heard there will be coop in Dead Space 2. I hope its true!
