Dead Space 2

[SgtPotato]

Already pre-ordered the pc version of Collector's edition.

Gotta to have my own plasma cutter.

Really wish I had the funds to buy the collectors edition.

I really need to finish the first game, got to the mining deck last time I played.

[Crécy]

Dead Space has interest me throughout it's existence. Thing is I'm afraid to play horror games or watch horror movies. (Once I watched a horror movie trailer and it bothered me for three days.)

I actually ordered the first game and when it finally came I sent it back as I decided that I do not dare to play it .

[Falkirion]

Spike and Crecy I really advocate playing it. I dont usually do horror games but I've forced myself to play Dead Space and its been really enjoyable despite almost crapping myself a couple of times.

Its not the enemies that're scary, its the way EA Redwood have used music and the ships environment to keep the atmosphere so darn intense. The games really enjoyable despite this, just make sure your kids or friends or siblings dont sneak up on you while you're playing.

Yea, the first one is great, the narrow corridors and confines with lighting etc make it quiet scary, a bit like Doom 3 imo.
The second one will be a more 'open' environment, no less scary and immersive though, i'll be purchasing it asap.

BTW, here are the minimum system requirements for Dead Space 2: CPU: 2.8 GHz processor or equivalent (any Pentium 4 2.8 GHz or better, AMD Athlon64 3000+ or better, any Athlon64 X2 or Core Duo processor)
RAM: 1 GB (XP), 2 GB (Vista or Win7) or more
DISC DRIVE: 8x speed or faster CD/DVD drive
HARD DRIVE: At least 10 GB of free space
VIDEO: 256 MB Video Card and Shader Model 3.0 required. NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or better (7300, 7600 GS, and 8500 are below minimum system requirements) ATI X1600 Pro or better (X1300, X1300 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements)
SOUND: Direct 9.0c compatible sound card

Shouldn't be a prob nowadays, right?

As you can see from the advised minim. specs req'd, in particular video card and cpu, always exceed the min. specs req'd.
God knows why anyone would want to run Win 7 on a Pentium 4, with 256 MB of video graphics

It actually doesn't bother me as much as it used to(would sit at the edge of whatever surface I was on, my stomach in a frequent state of worry). The main reason I haven't played is due to the fact my PS3 is currently at the girlfriends house. Don't really feel like moving it around everytime I want to watch/play something.

I'll probably get it on my ps3 just for the extra Deadspace Extraction game.




In other Dead Space news, I dreamt I was playing DS last night. I was walking on catwalk that turned right and followed a wall up ahead. On the wall were white splashes, like something shot some sort of chemical. There was also a light shining on these splashes. I get to the wall and turn right, and up ahead there were 4-5 beds shrouded in dark. Shined a flashlight on them, and these big necromorphs stood up from the beds. They then proceeded to shoot the white stuff() at me. I opened fire with my ripper, but since they were far away, I was having a hard time hitting them.

I run out of ripper ammo and switch to the military rifle(forget its name), while a necromorph that can go invisible runs up to me. I pull the trigger and nothing happens(unsure if I was out of ammo, or if it had something to do with unbinding the fire button) it rushes up to me and the game goes into slow mo as he kills me. Next thing I know, I'm looking at the controls page in the Pause menu. And then I woke up.

Its perfectly fine to be picky. Visceral games, my bad. Need to not just rely on Steams word. Though it occurs to me now it displays the publisher, not the dev. So my bad

[Spike88]

I just played the demo. All I can say is holy sh*t. I need to hurry up and beat Dead Space 1. The action is definitely more intense, but the game keeps the same edge of your seat horror.

Dead Space 1 made me feel safe in the elevators, nothing ever attacked you in the elevators(especially since they're so small), was in the church part riding an elevator, and one of the necromorphs dropped in. I was like , and then shot his limbs off with the Pulse Rifle.
