Dead Space (Remake)

[Gimpymoo]

Just as an example I played Just Cause 2 to death and loved that game but not sure whether I would buy a remake especially after the disappointing JC4. Sometimes good gaming memories should be left there. In the memory.

I played JC2 for soo long after pre-ordering it on release and thought it was amazing.

Because I enjoyed it soo much, soo many memories, I never felt the urge to play the others which I know sounds really weird. I actually went back and played the first which I appreciated more second time round.

Back on topic though, a "Remake" makes no sense, just another example of the AAA gaming industry being creatively mute.

JC3 is not bad the carnage you can string together with a couple of grapple hook mods is hilarious. Played through that 3 times. JC4 is just a turkey they couldnt even get the cut scenes right.

Rather a remake of Dead Space 3, it was such an utter disappointment after the first 2.

But i thought the weapon crafting system was great, some crazy overpowered weapons could be made, almost comical

I only needed a controller with bit of the first game, two and three were not a problem with KB and mouse.

Initially though you couldn't remap the keyboard / mouse controls in the first and second game (don't know about the third), which rendered it quite unplayable for some (or completely unplayable in the case of one disabled forummer).

I'm excited as I've never played any of the dead space games

Get ready to cream yourself. I was so immersed in the game particularly after you watched the anime movies that explains what happened to the base and everyone on it. It ends with the ship you arrive in at the start of the game. So yeah pretty scary. Lol

It's on YouTube.

I had no idea this existed, amazing, thanks for posting!

Thought I'd fire up the original, this thread had me craving some space zombie action.

I played it originally on the Xbox, but I picked it up ages ago when it was going cheap on Origin.

To be fair, it's not a bad looking back.









But the mouse controls are god awful.
I heard the problems were tired to Vsync, but turning that off caused further problems in the game, flying corpses and I was unable to progress past an open door due to an invisible barrier.
Apprently there are ways to fix this with varying degrees of success. But I'm not sure whether I should persevere or just jump to Dead Space 2.

I was initially dismissive of the remake, but after trying the original again, if the price is right, I think i'll buy it.

 

[Midlife Crisis]

turn off vsync in game and then enable it in your cards settings that will be the cure, or it was way back then

 

[stooeh]

Hah, my overriding memory of this game is the dodgy mouse controls and iirc there was a chap on these forums who gained some traction pointing out that the limited control bindings option in the sequel were severely hampering his ability to play the game.

Here's my tip - USE A CONTROLLER! The game is clearly designed for one, with the stasis function it's not a fast twitch shooter for which you need mouse precision anyway. It's a shame to be put off if you aren't satisfied with the mouse.

Fast or slow paced, controllers for shooters is *****

Try this fix. I haven't used it myself but other fixes in the past have made the controls much better and this seems to be a more modern solution.

What heresy is this?!

Thanks! That's actually made it playable.

Forgot how damn scary this game is, some very unnerving sounds and lighting.

Initially though you couldn't remap the keyboard / mouse controls in the first and second game (don't know about the third), which rendered it quite unplayable for some (or completely unplayable in the case of one disabled forummer).

They never fixed the remapping for the first game. As a leftie I found it extremely frustrating that I couldn't remap the arrow keys, which I've been using for movement in PC games ever since Doom.

But a modder managed to reverse engineer the mapping file (which was in binary, so not easily editable) and released a mapping tool. That along with the mouse fixes made it into a decent PC game.

As for the second game, I started a new playthrough recently only to encounter a bug where stasis stops working and you can no longer progress. This is an old bug which EA never fixed! There's no workaround or user fix either. Hours of gameplay lost.

Never actually played the first one. I got 2 and thought it was brilliant, and enjoyed 3 so bought 1 and instantly regretted it when I found out you couldn't change the keybinds. Mental.

 

[SpudMaster]

This seems totally pointless to me. As stated already in the thread the original still isn't a bad looking game. I liked the first two Dead Space games and would much prefer a new game than this.

Forget the third game exists and continue the story after the second game.

 

[DEL 707]

Finished the game today.



Still really enjoyable after all this time and I do think the graphics hold up.

 

[ne0]

Meh. It's a great game but I've already played it. Doesn't even seem like that long ago either. Boring idea.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

I had a run through of all three last year and they all still hold up, apart from the controls in the first being useless on PC so you HAVE to you use a pad, amazing games.
