Dead Space

[Binge]

I got Deadspace to repeatedly start up with no issues if I change the settings to what I need in the main menu and then exit the game. Every time after that the game has loaded fine. It will crash a bunch while I'm playing though >.> Lame

:FIXED: Updated sound drivers and the game works without crashing.

I picked up my copy today. I'm going to be buying alot of games in the next couple months!! Guitar Hero Aerosmith is out for PC now, Guitar Hero World Tour, Fallout 3, Far Cry...when does it end!!(Never)

Man, this friggin shit is scary as hell. Why do they have to fall on you. The erie music doesn't help you either when they start ripping at you. You might as well have a death wish if you play this on hard.

 

[RadeonX2]

From what I've seen/read, this game puts FEAR to shame when it comes to scaring the crap out of you.

sh1t I want this game asap

 

[wahdangun]

Oh and this is more like Resident Evil 4 with nicer controls than something like FEAR

what i realy like Resident evil, i think i will buy it next month. and i love horor game with 3rd person view .

i hope that game doesn't contain spore-like DRM.

 

[RadeonX2]

FEAR 2 project origin should be more scary I guess

 

[TheGuruStud]

It's hard to aim. When you go into aiming mode it slows the mouse down to like 50%. I have the mouse maxed out. Would've been much better 1st person or at least if they gave you the choice.

 

[wolf]

think event horizon, but awesomer and about as scary, not to mention you get to play.

I second that for another AVP; God what a classic set of games.


Though, give Dead Space an hour or two of your time, and you'll start to find some features, aspects and such that broaden it's horizons. I won't say anymore, don't want to spoil it.

Visually speaking it's alright; for me it has way too much of a console look or maybe a 'Carmack,' look. The physics are dandy smooth, but the texture resolution is awful, and the lack of AA support is definatley left wanting.

I won't re-harp on the controls, but I for one am glad you move slow. It adds to the creepiness, and it also helps the yucky controls seem more tolerable

The more i read about the more i dislike it lol.. Thing is i cannot buy every game that comes around as soon as it's released so have to picky and this one will have to wait till it's $20 as to me it's not finished...

Think i'll throw my cash at Fallout 3 which is out in 44 hours.

Thanks for the details though at $50 it should be like a PC game and if not this is bad IMO. I'm sure it's a good game though and even i'm said it has not turned out like a PC game and thinking about it i guess it for the better as buying it will only send one message to them..

Ya, if you loved DOOM III and Bioshock and Masseffect, then this is all three rolled into one, but if you're indifferent, then the places it falls down, might leave a bad taste in your mouth.

It's definatley a rental or a bargain binner.

 

[EiSFX]

from what i have read about the mouse aiming thing is if you turn off vsync and max out the mouse sensitivity it will help alot

 

[ste2425]

from wat i can gather the controls remind me of ghost recon advanced warfighter2 with the slow moving slow turning controls and lack of aiming actuall having to use sights of the weapon to aim etc. From vids an screen shots it looks bloody beautiful but i tink ill wait a tad or go for bioshock as i dnt actually own it yet

 

[Binge]

From what was stated above if you turn off Vsync and increase your mouse sensitivity it fixes the aiming issue. Also middle mouse wheel and space bar while in aim mode will change the weapon's firing mode which makes everything a lot more simple.

This game is amazing. The 2nd chapter was WAY longer than the first and the third even longer than the 2nd. Play the game on HARD and you'll get what you paid for! The necromorts get pretty freaky difficult on hard >.<

 

[ste2425]

i was saying the controlls was a good thing haha ive had my eye's on the game for a while just waiting on people opinions and from what ive heard it seems very good i think ill be getting it

 

[wolf]

AWESOME game

Great atmosphere - very horror, and reminiscent of event horizon

visuals are great - not bleeding edge, but if proper vsync (60fps) is held its silky. very smooth textures and lighting is spot on for the feel of the game.

somethnig new - every 5-10 minutes i go, "ooh...ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh" and discover something else awesome

cliche - every time you pick up an audio log it ends in "oh god there coming in, oh no...nnooooo" *static*

all in all i give it 9.5/10 SO FAR, its pleasing me alot, and has a great pace, there are times you shit yourself and dont want to move, or walk into a room, and there are times you can sit back and listen to or watch logs.

awesome game.

Doom 3 was a load of lame spawning cr*p don't know about Mass Effect but again the 3rd person issue with me makes me feel like i am playing a console game. How ever Bioshock was 1st person and loved it and cannot wait for the second one.

For PC it's not much to ask for 1st person view as well lol... I'll get those games when there nice and cheap ..

If you want an easter egg / ***spoiler***...read the first letter of each chapter down wards.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Just got Dead Space. WOW. NICE. I'm finding it more fun the Crysis.

Dang do I have a lot of games to keep up with.

Dead Space

Far Cry 2

Fallout 3

Left 4 Dead 4

Fable 2

What a month.

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I got this game last night. Its really fun. I didnt find it that scary until I walking down a corridor and saw something in the corner of my screen! One of those creatures was stalking me just behind the view of the camera. Great game I found it more addictive than FC2. I like how if you clean all the enemies from a room they dont just respawn when you leave an come back. FC2 pissed me off for that.

I hope ATI gets an AA fix for this game since Im getting 100+ FPS max settings and I want more detail.

To force crossfire to work rename the game to godfather.exe this game uses the same engine as godfather which ATI has a crossfire profile for.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I have farcry2,fallout3,and deadspace......So little time so many damn good games coming.

I have tried this but i think i will be playing fallout3 instead.

Awesome to hear! I really love how eerie the atmosphere gets when you get to the baby room

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I haven't mad it to the baby room yet but I agree the atmosphere is great. I found that the flicking lights didnt actually have the effect they should on my system though. Since vsync is disable I could see the image tearing and I never got the full effect of the blackness between flashes. Gonna tweak it tonight to see if I can make it work better.

 

[johnnyfiive]

^^ I really wish a patch would come out to allow vsync to work RIGHT. I want to play the game in all its glory, which means I need vsync dammit!

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

To make vsync your friend do this:

In game vsync - DISABLED. (cause its a lame 30 FPS vsync)

Use D3Doverrider that comes with RivaTuner. Add a profile path for DeadSpace (which you should rename to godfather) and enable the options for Forcing vsync and tripple buffering.

Launch DeadSpace and enjoy a locked 60FPS

I already knew how to do it but I was on a limited time frame last night and didnt feel like restarting the game.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Another kool aspect of the game is the facts that its linear gameplay, so its not likely you are going to get stuck and aggetated.
