From the article:
"The first time I saw the Lullaby trailer for "Dead Space," I was certain that the game was going to make me crap my pants. I mean that quite literally. The combination of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and mangled corpses sent chills up my spine. It was the first time in my life that a song from my childhood had been used to strike fear into my heart.
Unfortunately, the retail version of the game was far less scary than its E3 2008 trailer. Though EA Redwood Shores did a tremendous job of creating tension throughout the experience, I found that there were very few moments in which I was genuinely afraid."
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?
This game is quite scary, but you have to help put yourself in the setting required to do so. If possible, 40+ widescreen, surround sound, no lights, no one else in the room to talk to, and a pair of hightop sneakers, cause youre going to jump.
Wait until you see the graphics in the 360 version *shudder*
I disagree, the game made me sh*t my pants so hard it gave me second-degree burns! From the beginning where you're chased in the hallway till the very end the game made me crap three colors of sh*t, shoot laser beams from my d*ck and almost gave me a total nervous breakdown. xD
Meh, just exaggerating a bit, it's still very scary, best horror game in quite a while, haven't had that much fun since F.E.A.R.! =D
sorry but this guy must have played it with friends around and the light on. You have to set the mood to get into this game. Alone in a dark house and the sound turned up.
Scares me when I play it in the dark.
Probably the scariest game I've played since Silent Hill.
