PS3 Fanboy Write
"EA's upcoming survival-horror title Dead Space, whose lead platform was switched from the Xbox 360 to the Playstation 3 several months back, is coming out on Halloween. The previous trailers gave us a glimpse at the story and visual style of the game, but this new trailer, titled Strategic Dismemberment, features almost all gameplay. It has a voice-over narration which explains to you how you deal with the antagonists of the game, called the Necromorphs, with unusual weapons like a stasis or telekinesis gun. The video highlights the unique nature in the game, as simply shooting them won't be enough. Rather, one needs to "rip them to shreds" and "completely tear them apart" using various "creative" methods. Being big fans of the film Event Horizon, from which the developers drew inspiration, we can't wait to try this game out ourselves."
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?
Looks just so boring and bland. The character looks absurd and the whole game seems like a SIFI or USA up all night original picture.
A darker, scarier version of Bioshock. Also looks like it'll be banned in Australia ;___;
i think the game looks sick, there not many games im gonna buy this year but this is 1 of the ones i am its also great that the ps3's the lead platform NO crappy port from the 360 this time
i'm still skeptical over purchasing anything EA made on the PS3. even if the studio prioritized it over the next system. if anything i'd get it on the 360. i'm going to need a demo for this game because i'm not plunking down $60 for a broken title, i'll only buy it if it was ea published. which is why i cant wait for sabatour for from panademic studios. but we'll see. i'll start buying EA when their in house studios has a better rep. army of 2 sucked. about the only game i liked this gen from EA was burnout paradise and thats because criterion made it. ^^
hopefully there's a demo out for it.
sounds really gory. nice.
i like the fact you literally have to rip them to shreds to kill them.
