Dead Space Is Awesome!!

Woot, just blew the barricade to the med lab to get the code off the captain's body :D Not opened the door because i know its going to be a boss fight of some sort, so im taking a break lol.

I genuinly am loving this, so new and fresh yet so many older touches from different games, but only the best bits :D

Walked up behind a half man half zombie or what ever it is, the man was smashing his head against the walla nd eventually killed him self.... such a tiny touch but really impacting.

i watched a couple of Deadspace trailers at the London Expo today, then i managed to get one of the EA/deadspace staff to give me one of the 200 copies of the "making of" book for deadspace :D

i'll be buying the game shortly :D
 
The controls are absolutely dire. I'm not even sure if i can carry on playing. Its jittery, super floaty, totally counter intuitive, and makes combat a nightmare - and not in the good way.

Its almost like im fighting against the controls in order to play the game, you can really tell this was developed for the consoles, it has the classic feel of a shoddy console port.

Dissapointing.

I found the controls a nightmare until i turned vsync off - much more responsive afterwards.
 
Has anyone sussed out whats up with the main character?

I think he is mentally disabled, hense why he is talked to like a idiot and never says anything, obsessive disorder on a doctor is a bit odd (the vid).

my thoughts anyway.

That fix works for nvidia cards too. The game feels a lot smoother with proper vsync and triple-buffering enabled.

Indeed I'm rocking with vsync on now after doing this on my 8800GTX and lag is much better. If anyone is getting problems starting the game with D3D overider on just start it after you fire up DS via alt-tab

Now if only i could find the config file to increase mouse sensitivity and get it perfect.

Probably of no help to you, but I have my "My Documents" folder in a 2nd hard drive and the game saves there without any problems. This is on XP though.

Unfortunately this is an issue with the game under Vista!

Can anyone tell me the dir structure the game uses to save your game files?

Maybe someone who is only at the start send me their save file or better yet game folder it creates (keeping structure in tact) ?

This will help me determine if it's a simple case of creating the folders and copying the file sin so it recognises them!

Cheers
 
I have played a couple of hours now .... and no issues here and also I am just starting to enjoy it - that is with the lights off and 5.1 headphones :D

To be fair, that was after a hour or so of messing with the settings !!! Reminds me of Doom 3 (which I did not finish cos I got bored) so I hope that I can get into it and not quit too early ... I have just played FEAR Perseus Mandate and fancied a 'proper' scary game and this 'seems' to fit the bill.

Now getting into it and I am gonna master those frackin controls! Last game I managed to play through in third person was Halo 1 :) That was cos the game and Xbox was a birthday present from the missus so I perservered! I have a few games on my shelf barely played because of third person & controls so here goes my attempt. Atmosphere is good so that may carry it for me ...
 
Well, after 12 hours I've just completed it. Chapter 12 is brilliant! A very atmospheric and engaging game. The ending has to be one of the most epic ones I've seen in a while!

I've just noticed a really cool/scary spoiler though. Look down to find out!

*I'm gonna leave the spoiler out, 'cos I dunno how to hide it from view. How'd you do it?
