No he was brought in early on, but much of what made it in has been altered so much that only the very basic structure of Dead Space and the naming of the characters can even be attributed to him.

So it seems my order from EBGames has shipped. Here's hoping it'll arrive tomorrow (free overnight shipping FTW).

Hmm. I noticed that EB switched to "ships within 24 hours" which means this game could very well be in stores tomorrow. The hunt begins...

9.0 from Gamespot

The Good
Deeply engrossing story Breathtaking visuals and nerve-wracking audio Strategic dismemberment adds an entirely new, satisfying dimension to combat Truly terrifying gameplay keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The Bad
Repetitive mission objectives Close-quarters combat is troublesome.
Click to expand...

Dead Space is a remarkable game from a well-tread genre that manages to stand out from its competitors in almost every way, from visual presentation to engaging story, innovative combat mechanics to fright factor. Whether you're looking for a terrifying horror experience or a deeply story-driven adventure that will keep you engaged for 15-20 hours, Dead Space is a fantastic game that you should not pass on.

wow, this game reminds me of Riddick. That game just came out of nowhere for me and turned out to be one of my favourite games.

Well then I'm wrong, oh well.

I was speaking more out of generality with Gamestops BS though, they always tell you to come in Tuesdays and when you do they look at you like you're a fucking crazy person. :lol

My order from EBGames shipped. The status of the game says it ships in 24 hours on their website. People have supposedly already found the game at Best Buy and my Gamestop has confirmed with me that they received it today to sell tomorrow. Guess it can't hurt to check tomorrow, eh?

I hate that, I wish sites would show the street date. I don't know how many times I've walked into a store and they never got the game in.

my gamecrazy told me tomorrow, and they usually go to pick up games from the airport themselves even if they are only moderately hyped so im inclined to believe them.

I'm getting the same feeling. Man I hope it holds true. Riddick was absolutely fantastic.

I hate to start this again, but I am genuinely conflicted about which version to get. I kept hearing sporadic posts saying that the PS3 version has better audio. Is this confirmed? Is it due to the fact that blu ray has more space and they compress the audio more on the 360 dvd?

I would much rather get it on 360 since I like the controller better, especially for this kind of game, but if the audio on the PS3 version is superior it might sway me.

Ah yes, Riddick definitely seems like a good comparison here.

Im only relying on actual text from reviews, of which I havent seen anything relating to which version is better. Im just gonna go with the 360.

I'm playing it with a controller. If that has input lag too, then I'll go console, but I doubt it will.
Click to expand...
As far as I understood, the mouse lag stems from the fact that they are emulating the analogue stick of a controller (instead of "true" mouse support). So basically the mouselook was as clumsy as an analogue stick would've been. But if you're playing it with a controller anyway, that point's moot. Then it's identical to the console versions.

I'm honestly considering playing this with a controller as well, just bought a new 360 one last week. Will try both options and decide then, I guess.

Oh wait, this comes out tomorrow? Shit I've been watching my Gamefly for so long it made me believe it was releasing on the 16th.

Oh well, I can wait a little longer.

So when can we expect Dead Space Wallpapers and Themes on the Playstation store?

I've never understood why we don't see more official themes and wallpapers, especially for big games like this one. I mean the devs already have all the assets at hand, and building themes is so damn easy. If the argument is that the artists have finished their duties and been re-assigned well before launch, then why not have them build the themes/select the wallpapers before they go, and just hold off their release until just before launch?

It's such an easy way to build word of mouth (so much easier than doing animated comics/movie!). Whenever I have friends over to play games or watch movies, the first thing everyone sees is what theme/desktop my PS3 is using, and invariably they ask me about it. These people are your target audience...

Gamecrazy rocks, I used to work there during the Gamecube years, was the best job I ever had.

People there usually know what the fuck they're talking about too, not like Gamestop where the employees sound like they post on Gamefaqs during their breaks. :lol

Can't you just make your own? It's not like the 360 where you have to pay for that kind of shit, right?

From what I seen you can use your own. I thought 2 just went up on the PS3 last week? Either way I have a nice dark on set right now.

Oh fuck not again! Why do they do this shit. I didn't finish Bioshock for months because the mouse control was so aggravating. Someone refute this, please! I don't want to cancel my pre-order.

What was wrong with the mouse control in Bioshock?

It's just not smooth and feels overly erratic and spastic. Turning it all the way down doesn't really help...
It's part of the reason I refuse to finish Bioshock on PC as I can never get used to it.
Seriously, Bioshock plays best with a controller as the core game feels like it was designed around it ala Gears of War

PS3 audio in games have much more going for it. Its not uncommon for people to say this. There was a thread on here not to long ago about this and most users on gaf prefer PS3 sound output. The rest is up to you.

I can't wait to try and get a few trophies for this game this week. The Story line is what has me really excited about this title.

The reason many say the PS3 sound output is better is mainly

-DTS support on all EA games, which improves sound fidelity and cranks up the bass quite a bit, and
-Better 5-channel separation, in my opinion.

really? ...on all EA Games? ....don't remeber if it was in Army of Two or not, then again that was UE3 and I've never seen a UE3 based game with DTS support

but yes, please someone post if Dead Space has DTS support!

It's just starting to sink in that audio is probably going to be really important to this game. I might need to see if I can get the PS3 instead of 360 tomorrow since my 360 is quite loud (not a problem for Saints Row 2).
