Dead Space 3 |OT| Can I Play With Madness?
- Thread starter NotTheGuyYouKill
- Start date
Ocular penetration by foreign bodies is like... My number one fear in life. And I totally failed this sequence on my first attempt ("success" isn't much better...)
God I love Dead Space.
But only when I'm not playing Dead Space

The music in the stream seems a bit overbearing at times. Its all very nice and even sort of giving me vibes from Alien, but for atmosphere's sake, less is more sometimes.

Yep, already been mentioned but thanks (seriously, this is awesome). I love the little bit of VIP treatment going on in the chat.
The Origin digital platform does support DLC and Dead Space 3 is being released on and is using Origin.

Stream was just shut down. Surprised he got as far as he did.
Still, that was amazing.
^haikira: Yeah, the stream service found out about it and stepped in with an official "We do not allow users to stream content of unreleased products" or what-not statement.

AAAAAND we're done with the stream.
Too bad. Even Codecow was in the chat!
Faith in game has been restored to almost unskeptical levels. Except for Chapter 1. WTF is that!?

I'm with you. The demo bummed me out pretty hard, but the stream was fantastic. I'm super stoked for DS3 again. Feels good.

Hell, that stream probably did more to convince me to rethink getting the game than any marketing ever could.
Kind of reminds me of how a preview build of the first several hours or so of Deus Ex:Human Revolution leaked pre-release, yet that was probably the best marketing and most convincing thing I saw of the game pre-release. Sometimes just showing the opening several hours of the game with no commentary or anything is the best way to sell the game.

Damn seems like I just missed the stream, so perhaps this game will actually be good despite very iffy marketing and demo?
Would you be able to tell us for sure that we won't be able to collect every single item in the game without co-op?

Except for Chapter 1. That will probably sour a lot of people who were already skeptical. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE to play. Guess we'll have to bite through that for the better stuff.
BTW the stream was archived.

Relieved to hear that the stream is giving a much better impression than the demo did. Being forced to play co-op to 100% the game is kinda horse shit, though.

The physical form of blasphemy
Honestly, I was really close to writing the game off. The stream kinda brought me back on board. I didn't see the entire stream, but a lot of what I saw reminded me of Dead Space 1, more than the majority of DS 2 did. I'm still kinda weary, but what I saw of Chpt. 7 looked great.
It's terrible how they couldn't just show shit like that mixed with the planet, instead of explosions, explosions, guns, and a partner gunning down explosions. :| Fucking EA man...
That really is true. Who knows how I'll feel when I'm playing it, but it seemed excessive.
Line gun + Force Gun combo looked like a lifesaver.

Not entirely, but it made a lot of goodwill return. I feel bad for Visceral that all the shootbang was chosen for PR.

The physical form of blasphemy
Not fully. There was a segment towards the end of the stream that looked by the numbers and tedious as all hell, and I still hate the majority of the demo -especially the entire existence of that miniboss-. I did see a lot of promise and things that made the series special...
I honestly blame EA and the demo being used to target a specific group of people, instead of just playing to their strengths...
Great news, thanks for the reply!

Just watching the beginning of the stream and I love how they have [voice actor spoilers]
.
The cover system and combat with human enemies looks pretty clunky though.

It certainly gave me a much better impression, so yes. The game looks like proper Dead Space to me, which is all I really wanted to see more of.
Enjoy it! It's still my favorite of the franchise.
It'll be 20-30 by mid-March. I'm excited to play it, but its typical EA where the price drops quick. I can wait it out.

My impression is If you're a fan of the series you might be disappointed or thrilled by some of the changes thematically and gameplay wise. You'll still get to stomp death metal style throughout the game. But whilst saying that the new stuff is fantastic and not something to be missed. Weapon creation and a tremendously strong co-op element elevate this game's replay-ability into a territory not seen in the dead space universe.
I wouldn't say it's the sole reason the game get's as much praise from me personally. But it does help that they are at least trying to do something with the universe outside of making the same game. To me this is the Resident Evil 4 of the Dead Space universe. It has taken cue's from other 3rd person shooters (Uncharted, Gears of War) and made something unique and different that I think works.

I was going to wait for reviews. Maybe pick it up on a sale! I've got a huge Steam backlog. No need to be hasty, right?
Then I saw the launch trailer... who am I kidding? I loved DS1 and DS2, so this was always going to be a no-brainer.

I believe codecow said the saves aren't locked.

Will the PS3 version have a mandatory install? I'm running low on space these days, wondering if I can squeeze this in.
Yeah, that was my initial response, but I'm going to give Codecow the benefit of the doubt. He most likely can't give a definitive answer, so stating that it's on a platform that allows DLC to be sold is good enough for me. BF3 on Origin sold the DLC expansion/maps/weapons, EA likes money, so I see no reason why they wouldn't sell DLC for Dead Space 3.
Did the console version of DS2 have them? I don't remember. I know for a fact that the pc version did so I'm hoping it has them in 3. Nonetheless I'm really looking forward to DS3, huge fan of both 1 and 2 and really hope that, regardless of the fact that virtually every news and pr piece surrounding the game has been met by nothing but backlash, the game turns out to be a polished entry in the DS franchise.

Awesome OT tile.
Pretty sure it's in DS1 / DS2 console versions. Can anybody else confirm? I've played the console demos for 1 / 2 and I remember them having flashlight projected shadows. I would check but I only have the pc versions.
Maybe they had to cut back on shadows in order to "up" certain other elements of the visuals. If that's the case then I sure as heeell hope they didn't arbitrarily remove it from the pc version ( with regards to the "pc version has no extra features" hooha )

Day 1.
Been on media blackout - I know there has been a lot of worry about DS3 (with good reason), but I'm giving Visceral the benefit of the doubt.
Still can't separate DS1 and DS2 in my affections!
No mandatory install.
Yes, they're still in there although they are area dependent. The second player (if he's there) will not cast shadows from his flashlight.
I am a "code monkey" if you will, not a PR person, so you will never find me announcing anything on purpose. I will make vague statements that you can interpret how you'd like.
