It's almost Halloween and EA wants to help gamers get in the spirit. Starting tomorrow EA's Dead Space will be available for only 19.99 on the XBL service Games on Demand. Take control of Isaac Clarke and see if you can solve what exactly is going on in the space station. Games on Demand allow you to buy full games and download them right to your Hard Drive. Dead Space is a perfect game for this week and at 19.99 it's a good deal.
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?
Don't miss out and don't let the horror genre scare you away!
It's a really good game and excels at gameplay.
And so as in Amazon.com.
Plus you get to have a physical copy of the game for your shelf. ;)
It's 50 cents cheaper on Amazon with no sales tax and free shipping.
my game of the year 2007 and still my favorite new IP this gen...
The story
characters,
art style,
some of the little gameplay features like, not having a proper hud, ammo counter on the guns, no real cut-scene they just play out ingame and on your hud which pops out from your suit, all while you are in the game and can move, be attacked.. it just never takes you out of the experience.
Oh and not to mention some of the best weapons in a game and by far the best way point direction system ( no stupid flashing arrows or any of that crap...) everything feels consistent with the art style, theme etc.
I think I am going to have to play this again soon ! just talking about it makes me want to shoot off limbs.
oh and did i mention, it's worth every penny ! I would still pay £40 for this game if i didn't already own it. totally underrated game.
And it's great on the PS3 as well. Played it on the PS3 recently and was amazed by how well crafted the game mechanics were. Plus the amazing sound design and 'Event Horizon' style art design were extremely unnerving and fun. It's the same price in all retailers.
