Ganepark32 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I had a very quick run on it earlier. Wasn't impressed. Just found it a little frustrating, running out of ammo and having no reload button apart from using the aim and shoot buttons. I'll have a longer run on it in awhile. I can see that the demo isn't going to show me much and I'm still going to get it at Xmas. It is ashame though that this and Mirrors Edge havent sold great.
Solo Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Yeah I think it's just that the demo doesn't give a very good impression. It's just a small room with you and a few monsters, it gets frustrating fast. From the videos I've seen the full game looks great, really atmospheric and some interesting puzzles.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I will probably avoid the demo then. I will just buy the game when the time comes. There seems to be a little trend starting at the moment for companies releasing shit demos. There was me thinking the idea of demos was 2 get ppl to like the game and buy it!
Ganepark32 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 The demo, I felt, was useless in giving you an idea of what the full game will be like. Very pointless demo.

It's an horror game, it suppose to take stuff away from you I also ran out of ammo, but I just bought more! It's a damn good game is Dead Space. I'm not sure what you mean about reload but onthe PS3 to reload you just held aim then pressed square and it reloaded.
Cube Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I wasn't a big fan of RE4, but I absolutely loved Dead Space to bits, even with a keyboard/mouse setup (I don't find it comfortable). It's also got a great learning curve. Ammo isn't a problem for the first half of the game. Then you slowly realise that you're using up more and more as you go along.
Deathjam Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Just arrived form rental was hoping for R2 but this should make do hopefully. Will give impressions soon. Game is awesome. There is no way you wont like it.
flameboy Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 got this on my new rental list at tesco rental so look forward to trying it out before deciding if its worth buying...
MATtheHAT Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 The Missus has gone to MeadowHell today, asked if I wanted anything..........'Dead Space please' That should be all the games I want for this year bought, maybe pick up MotoGP 08 at some point. Gonna play it tonight, dark, lights off, pull the chair up close to the telly.

Gonna play it tonight, dark, lights off, pull the chair up close to the telly. Won't be doing that for long, let me tell you Eventually had to play it in doses as it used to creep the hell out of me. Gets easier further you get into it and stronger you get but there are LOADS of shocks to be had.
Ganepark32 Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 ^ the scarier the better. Can't wait to get this. Getting it on xmas so even though it's a bit late in the year for scares, it should provide adequate entertainment for those late hours of the night/morning.

WARNING: This game breaks some conventions: Enemies WILL follow you, not neccesarily through doors...The also know the environment better than you. Safe areas are NOT SAFE: what care do enemies have for save points? Enemies wont wait for you to finish shopping: Hmm what's that noise? Oh enemies just broke into this place. Ah well, im at the store so im perfectly safe right? Right? Always watch your back, and left, and right.
Domstercool Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Maze? It's really impossible to get lost in Dead Space since the game gives you a line where to go. someone wrote this :p http://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/dead-space-ps3-xbox-360/
Deathjam Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Its definately getting better though i am stuck at the bit where you go to the first zero gravity area. I cant shoot the key into the swittch... The game is good but i hate the backtracking. Backgrounds look fairly samey. The horros aspects are genious though. But i dont feel too motivated playing it. Will keep at it. Many games pick up at some point for me. If I remember correctly, you just drag te key into the switch or /e. Playing through it again to get a few easy trophies so maybe i will come across and understand your problem.
Deathjam Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 How do you jump? Aim with your gun then press triangle. In zero-g only of course.
MATtheHAT Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 I actually shat myself last night. Upto chapter 7 now, I love ths game. It has managed to keep my attention longer than BioShock. Some of the best graphics I have seen since Uncharted. OMG the worm things that grab you to pull you in are awesome Probably finish it tonight, then gonna go through it for the Trophies.
MATtheHAT Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Finished this game last night, this is definately one of my favourite single player games. Sadly it has been overlooked due to the recent pre-christmas gaming blitz. It is one of the few games that as soon as I finished it, I immediately started back at the beginning on a harder difficulty setting. Superb.
Deathjam Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 So far i am enjoying it. Seems fun. Chapter 5, you may struggle to not break out into a sweat. Fun will change to thrilling. Maybe I should play this on hard...
Ganepark32 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Apologises for the bump. Got this at xmas and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. However, I thought it was supposed to be scary? I've been playing at night, in the dark with thw sound up and nothing, not even a jump. Still fantastic though. I've just started Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival and have boarded the Valor. Should be interesting to see what's happened on there. Atmosphere is great. If/when Retro Studios get back to making Metroid they should really take some note from this because this has it spot on (apart from the lack of scares so far).

If/when Retro Studios get back to making Metroid they should really take some note from this because this has it spot on (apart from the lack of scares so far). Either you are a true man who fears nothing, or you lack imagination, meaning the sounds and atmosphere dont make you fear that an enemy will be jumping out at you at every corner.
Ganepark32 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Well, I don't lack imagination that's for sure. I think it's just that I am expecting things to jump out from the walls and so when it happens it means nothing. The sounds of things clinking and clanging do make me a little on edge but don't really lead me to jump in fright at something. And I'm playing on medium so I thought it'd have at least some points. Like for example, the first time that thing comes out of the wall and starts dragging you back into where it came from, I didn't get scared. I just sorta went 'cool'.
Aimless Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 However, I thought it was supposed to be scary? *Jumps into his Delorean Jansen 88 Special* I don't think it's a scary game, but its atmosphere is so thick you could cut it with a plasma cutter and the audio work is easily some of the best in the business. Dead Space is very good at making you tense or uncomfortable — in a good way — but it is very much a Resident Evil 4-style action game; you'll be peeking around every doorway and eyeing every vent suspiciously, but when things kick off you'll be all business, cutting off limbs with clinical precision.
dazzybee Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I find the game terrifying, and I don't usually get scared by anything.... You didn't find it terryfying that monster in Chapter 1 where you thought it was dead and it sprang up? Or in chapter 2 in the lab and the thing burst through the glass? Yeah they're almost horror cliches (which I usually hate) but they shit me up!!! Ive only just done chapter 2, my main worry is the gameplay getting very samey!!
EchoDesiato Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I'm playing the game for the third time on Impossible with 5.1 heaphones, the immersion added by the headphones and the difficulty have made this game terrifying for me.
