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

Will definitely buy for the iPad. Really looking forward to digging through it this week.

 

[dark10x]

That IGN review is probably the most poorly written professional game review of all time.

Well... except this one:

That was amazing.

Makes me wish there was iOS emulation on the Android, since EA will probably never port this. ;_;

The one day, the one day I would like off, my boss randomly has to go to court and I have to go to work early. How do these things happen!?

Watching now. I don't get why watching people play video games is as awesome as it is.

Haha. This is awesome. The guy is already not doing great but is still having fun. Very entertaining to watch.

Hm? What Visceral thing?

I read through the OP and didn't see anything on it.

I usually hate stuff like this but this is hilarious to watch. Plus it's been a while since I've played Dead Space so it'll be a good refresher.

 

[DancingJesus]

Cool beans, I'll watch it

Hopefully they show some neat footage in the gameplay segment.

I've beaten DS1 three times in the past week or so, so this is just "kind of predictable."

 

[Despera]

Chapter 5 in 2.5 hours. And I'm playing really, really slow.

Hmm... that's not good. :/

I might have to wait till a price drop.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

Really looking forward to this. I have always regretted not buying the first one even though that asteroid shooting mini game nearly ruined the entire game.

That reminds me, for those who have played the game there is no segment like the asteroid shooting that was in the first?

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Chapter 5 in 2.5 hours. And I'm playing really, really slow.

Confirms my choice of Zealot difficulty on first playthrough.

 

[brandonh83]

Same amount of chapters this time?

There's more this time.

Another review for Aftermath:

http://bluray.ign.com/articles/114/1145707p1.html

7/10 - The film is good, but there are no bonuses at all. It's just the film and subtitles.

 

[Square Triangle]

I hate the style of the Dead Space movies, it just feels so cheap.

 

[brandonh83]

Survival horror games are usually about the right length so that they don't outstay their welcome. Hell I think the first Dead Space could have been a bit shorter, and you'll rarely hear me say things like that.

If there are more than 12 chapters and it's taking people 2-3 hours to get to chapter 5, that's looking like 5-7 hours to hit the length of the original, with more after that. And some chapters are probably longer than others.

Sounds about right.

 

[Square Triangle]

Meh, to me anything under 7 hrs is forgettable. I don't mind horror when it's long, as long as the pacing is good and the cheap scares don't continue every chapter.

 

[-tetsuo-]

No matter what reviews say I still expect this to take about 10 hours.

 

[brandonh83]

Meh, to me anything under 7 hrs is forgettable. I don't mind horror when it's long, as long as the pacing is good and the cheap scares don't continue every chapter.

I'd rather have good pacing though than just filler for the sake of making the game longer. I too like longer games, but in an action game like this I don't think it needs to be over 6-7 hours.

Of course, if it is, and the pacing remains tight and there's no backtracking, the more the merrier.

 

[Monkey Pants]

The game is a little longer than the first one, with far less backtracking, etc. Anybody finishing it in under 7 hours is an animal. Some of us at the studio couldn't do that.

 

[boredofcanada]

can't help but think that they are just trying to beat the game before it comes out.

 

[brandonh83]

This is what's important to me. If it's seriously longer than the first one with very minimal backtracking, that's pretty awesome.

Even if it were the same length as the original with less backtracking, the game would still feel longer or at least feel that there's more content.

I figured as much. Thanks for clarifying!

 

[Despera]

Just got to chapter 6 after 3 hours. And holy shit this game is awesome!

It seems like each chapter is 30 minutes long. Well, as long as you like sightseeing like myself

Yup. Your pace sounds about same as mine

I would but the black levels on my TV suck. I'll be sure to replay it in the dark immediately once I get my plasma and surround sound system later this year.

Soon as I get home from the midnight launch I'm popping this baby in. Lights are a no-no for a game like Dead Space. Or any horror game for that matter.

 

[pakkit]

I'm really glad Visceral works on horror games and not comedy.

Some of this conversation during this stream is so cringe worthy, haha.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Stalkers are the velociraptors of the future. Believe. I'd better some Muldoon images at some point.

I knew Visceral hates kids!

Oh, that's disgusting... the audio guy made himself vomit so he could get the sound of the Puker.

Didn't they already compare them to those clever girls, a long time ago? :S
