You have balls of steel then. I guess games where I don't have a weapon or at least very, very limited amounts, scare the crap out of me. Fatal Frame did it, Silent Hill, Clock Tower (especially when you can't kill enemies), etc. I've never really found horror games where you can shoot (Dead Space, FEAR, etc.) scary.



The thing is, the ques and set ups for something to 'jump' at you were so obvious after the first few. Oh music? Oh bodies lying on the floor?

I must have. And I've barely played any of the classic horror games :( With Amnesia, I mostly got irritated at the fact that most sound effects were nothing but just that. They stopped being scary when they barely ever came from something besides a sound file on my harddrive, you know?

Another review in: Swedish mag LEVEL: issue 58 gave it an 8/10 (and another 8 as second opinion). Not entirely sure why, but from the last paragraph I read this; DS1 was a positive surprise, while with DS2, we've known pretty much from the start that it'll be awesome :)D). That apparently lessened the impact for the reviewer.

They also have a big article/preview of the game. How come no one said they made a visit to SF? :p There's also an interview (and a top 3 best looking games) with our very own monkeypants :D The producer, Sherief Fattouh is also interviewed :) They say he has an enchanting smile :lol Oh, and Mr. Steve Papoutsis as well. Of course. GAF's favorite isn't mentioned though :'( Seems like a nice burn on Schofield from Fattouh as well. Haven't read it yet.

And I just realized that I completely missed the live stream on facebook. Great.

What's so bad about the IGN review? I'm not reading anything (haven't even watched the last few trailers) because I'm trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible.

Dead Space 2 is an amazing game. I'm going to write about its scary moments, cool kills, and how much I dig the main character's internal struggle, but Dead Space 2 is about more than this.

Some fans threw hissy fits when Visceral said that there'd be more action in Dead Space 2, but it works and I love it. Isaac feels like a badass here, and he should.

Another stumble is multiplayer. I've played all of the game's five modes/maps, and none of them did anything for me.

Really? My facebook said it was gonna start at 16:30, which I assumed was in my time xD And that was 4 hours ago. Good news, thanks.

I'm conflicted. PS3 has a free copy of Extraction, but 360 is where I play multiplayer games, and I might want to jump into that. Efff, man.

I feel you man, I'm in the same boat. Got a PS3 version coming but I might double dip.

Cons:

Click to expand...

Does that mean there is a cliffhanger or is the reviewer being an idiot and pulling some "The only bad thing is that the game is too good!"

Did I read a page or so ago that unlocks can be carried to the next difficulty up?

Seems like it. I'm not sure 01:30 is a better time though :lol Lecture at 10:15 and game development from lunch to 16:00 tomorrow.

Internet rumors have hinted at a teaser for DS3 at the end of the game. It's coming :)

iMac? You really think an iMac is going to be able to drive Dead Space 2 at that resolution?

I'm hoping I can run this one at 60fps too, like I can the first one. And here's hoping AA is supported correctly so I don't have to use MLAA.

Im kind of the same, played the first one and loved it but it was pretty damn scary so I forced myself to go down that hallway knowing something will jump out at my ass at any second. Im going to force myself to play this one becasue I know its great but wont be looking forward to it, lol (if that makes sense).
Click to expand...

Shit I don't know man. I could only play DS during the day time, pretty sure DS2 will be the same.

Oh man I so want to play it... Shit.

Hey Everybody.

So glad to see the anticipation building. For anyone in the Bay Area, a lot of the team will be heading down to the Gamestop location on Powell St. in San Francisco for a Midnight Madness Celebration.

If you're in the area, stop by and say hello.

Just went ot pre order at gamestop for the Rivet Gun, they said they are out of pre order Rivet Gun codes. How the fuck do you run out of codes? Its a virtual item.

Needless to say Gamestop didnt get my reserve money. If I must Ill walk in tomorrow and just buy the game to be a smug ass,

Just preordered from bestBuy.com with 500 bonus reward Zone points instead. Also got the Aftermath BD for $5 with it. Pick up instore tomorrow.

Also, does anyone know if PS3 or 360 supports DTS?
Click to expand...
The first game had DTS on PS3, so I'm sure the PS3 version of DS2 will have it as well. I really doubt that the 360 version will have DTS support. That would have been fairly big news we would have known by now if it did.

Well, I'm not THAT far away. If you want I can dress up like a necromorph and lurk over your shoulder while you play the game for added tension.

Ok I may have missed this but couldn't seem to find anything with my poor searching skills. Will this be available via Steam at the stroke of midnight per chance, or the regular Steam time?

In preparation for DS2, I had meant to finish off the first game this week. To my surprise, after booting it up after almost a year I found that somehow my save was gone. Not sure what happened there...possibly a corrupt file.

The good news is, I decided to start over from the beginning and am very glad that I did. Since my first go-round, I purchased a better TV and a surround sound system. I'm even more enamoured with Dead Space then I was when it was launched. What a fantastic game. Looking forward to going directly into what looks to be a great sequel.

So that iPod/iPhone DS game? IGN confirmed that it's a prequel to DS2, and not a remake of the first game:

http://wireless.ign.com/articles/114/1145661p1.html

Do you live in New Zealand? If so, you can splash your iPhone and iPad with the blood of Necromophs right now as Dead Space is already live in the NZ App Store. But the rest of us? We have to wait until later tonight (expect around 9PM PST) to get our mitts on the iOS-exclusive Dead Space.

Dead Space for iOS is a prequel of sorts for Dead Space 2, which drops for consoles tomorrow. Taking place just before the events of Dead Space 2, you help Codename: Vandal push through the infested mines of Titan. Something's gone sideways. And you're on clean-up duty.

The iPhone version of Dead Space costs $10NZD, which comes out to around $7USD. Having played the game quite a bit, I can tell you it's worth every penny. The iPad edition should be $9.99USD.

Look for a full review tonight on IGN.

So Visceral's idea of making a game hard is to limit the number of saves.

Heh. 3 save slots only in Hardcore mode. What a terrible idea. So a single death can easily set you back 3-4 hours in the game.

That hardly seems like a fair way to challenge a player in a high difficulty setting.

Hardcore difficulty wasn't made for you, play Zealot mode instead.
