Dead Space 2

netieb · Jan 31, 2011, 09:09 AM

The new Dead Space deserves a fan club ^^

Spoiler

What do you guys think?

caleb · Jan 31, 2011, 09:20 AM

I think if they added some "labyrinths" and removed the marker where you have to go to complete next objective would make it a great unforgettable game like SystemShock2 was.
No matter what monster they throw at me the game still has that console sugar added that spoils the thrill.

Mussels · Jan 31, 2011, 09:40 AM

i suggest avoiding any spoilers, use [spoiler] tags.

anyone wondering why it feels slow and laggy, turn off Vsync. the dumbasses capped it at 30FPS (probably a leftover from the consoles to prevent them overheating)

lol amen brotha

At least on the pc it looks sharper than on the consoles, how did they use AA in this game, in the first it didn't seem to do much.

Dumbasses indeed. Having your watercooled rig with top-end everything run at a shitty 30fps due to some lazy-ass coding is just not on. It's the sort of thing that would make me not buy a game if it couldn't be fixed.

Flibolito · Jan 31, 2011, 10:26 AM

Aye so it's either laggy ass 30fps or 190 fps and tearing the hell out of the images haha.
Either way Dead Space 1 was awesome and imo a sleeper hit which actually delivered a horror atmosphere something that Resident evil and other have failed to deliver in the last few years.
I'll prolly get this off steam when its a little cheaper.

i disabled Vsync in the game and get ~150FPS, but actually dont get any tearing.

Spaceman Spiff · Jan 31, 2011, 10:46 AM

Disable Vsync ingame.

Use D3DOverrider to force Vsync and TripleBuffering in DirectX games. (CCC and Nvidia Control Panel only force Trip Buff in OpenGL)

Presto. 60 fps constant with V-Sync enabled. (This method cures all mouse movement issues in Dead Space 1 as well.)

netieb · Jan 31, 2011, 10:46 AM

The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes you have to fight thousands of enemys in a f****ing tiny room. That is just to cramped.

i was going to try that soon myself actually

Spaceman Spiff · Jan 31, 2011, 10:59 AM

Also, adding Morphological Anti-Aliasing makes this game look really, really nice.

You got a HD 5xxx or 6xxx card, I highly recommend it.

I hear ya bro but sometime its part of the horror experience just like the old resident evil games with pre-rendered backgrounds gave a much better atmosphere (at the cost of some gameplay) using awkward but effective camera angles. Being a fan of the original I'll give this one a shot especially with the V-sync tuning.

InnocentCriminal · Jan 31, 2011, 11:08 AM

Have they improved the controls at all?

Grnfinger · Jan 31, 2011, 11:15 AM

Enjoying the game so far, just started Chapter 6
My only annoyance was trying to figure out how to turn off the gravity in Chapter 5 oterh than that fun game.

chapter 7 has a few annoying puzzles like that

Spoiler

controls are fine this time around, Vsync tweak makes me happy.

HookeyStreet · Jan 31, 2011, 11:43 AM

I started this game last night on the 360. It looks and plays very nice

phobias23 · Jan 31, 2011, 12:49 PM

im getting the game today(1week later, hv been working) Dead Space is one of my top5 games. Anxious to play the 2nd. So i have read enough -30fps- what a F%%$ng crap its that!! EA seems to concern now just consoles. Any news about a patch/fix or something??

as we said above, disable in game Vsync. If you want a 60FPS cap, use D3Doverrider.

Thanx Mussels i read your post i will do that asap when i grab that piece of game, but what im saying is that pc gamers are being not taking into consideration. We are lucky to have the 2nd part in PC, I cant say the same with GoW 2 and the upcoming 3.

BumbleBee · Jan 31, 2011, 01:07 PM

see I was right!

it's a good game. I have completed the single player campaign a couple times now. Brad at Giantbomb suggested Dead Space 2 Multiplayer needs a Survival or Horde mode (Humans vs. Waves of Necromorphs) I so agree.

Grnfinger · Jan 31, 2011, 01:18 PM

vsync on

vsync off ( in game setting no D3D)

TheMailMan78 · Jan 31, 2011, 01:57 PM

Ok so all you have to do is turn off vsync in game and enable it in the GPU control panel?

kid41212003 · Jan 31, 2011, 01:58 PM

My V-sync is working correctly o_O... it capped at 60FPS.
