Videogamer writes: "'Interactive horror movie experience.' That's how Derek Chan, the game's global product manager, describes Dead Space, due out on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC this Halloween. He's talking in the basement of a darkened London gallery, and at the same time showing off a game EA hopes will be the start of a hugely successful series. We sit back, relax, and prepare ourselves for a frightful assault on the senses.
"Can we have the lights turned off please?" the EA demo guy, PS3 pad in hand, asks from somewhere behind us. We see some of the lights go off, but it's still not the pitch black he's hoping for. "Can we have all of the lights off please?" We detect a hint of annoyance. We don't notice any change in the lighting."
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
Taken Doom to the next level, some of the vids on game trailers are mindblowing. If you like this sort of stuff anyway. http://www.gametrailers.com...
In space no-one can hear you scream, hehe
I haven't played a decent survival/horror game in ages. There haven't been any good horror movies lately as well. I just hope EA doesn't screw this one.
Some survival horror love for next gen consoles. Now all I need is for Silent Hill 5, Siren, Alone in the Dark, and Resident Evil 5 to come around the corner.. Speaking of horror games, whatever happened to Rainy Woods?
enough said. first day buy for me.
