Dead Space 2 Announced

Posted by Soulskill on from the now-with-extra-dead dept.

Electronic Arts announced on Monday that their popular survival-horror game Dead Space is officially getting a sequel. According to the press release, it's being developed for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. There's speculation that Dead Space 2 may include some form of multiplayer, after an EA job opening was spotted on LinkedIn that mentioned multiplayer level design for the franchise.

    I wonder if we will actually be able to see more than 60% of the screen, this time? From the screen shots in TFA, it doesn't look like it. Within 5 seconds of gaining control in the first game, I opened up the menu to look for a way to change the perspective. When I realized that you couldn't, I gave it about 15 (incredibly frustrating) minutes before I simply shut it off, never to be played again. That was a UI decision right on par with Microsoft's ribbon, if you ask me.

      It may have been a great game, but they absolutely ruined it with the camera.

      It was a fairly deliberate design decision, they wanted to make you feel constricted and claustrophobic. Apparently it worked too well in your case.

      One of the biggest tricks with PC Dead Space was that you *must* disable vsync. Vsync in the game is horribly bugged and causes major input lag. Without the lag, the controls (especially the camera) are a lot more responsive and you'd probably find that after a bit of play the constricted view becomes less of an issue because the game no longer feels like you're issuing commands to someone on the moon.

      That doesn't make sense. Rotation should occur the same speed in both directions regardless of where the axis of rotation is placed. Rotating about a point outside and to the left of you is awkward, yes, but you don't rotate faster in one direction than the other.

      Now, because part of your screen is covered by your character, you have to rotate FARTHER to see everything coming from your left. But speed doesn't factor into it.

      This was on the PC, for what I've heard the choppy gameplay was also due to it being a bad console port (what else is new?).

      It's the worst console port I've ever seen. I had to use 3 3rd party applications to even make the game somewhat playable.

      You can't remap most of the keys with the UI or config files, so I had to use GlovePIE because I don't like to play on WASD.

      You can't choose the level of Anti-aliasing and when it's "on" it can't be more than 2x, so I had to override the value using Catalyst.

      But worst of all ... the game is unplayable with V-Sync on for some reason (everything is choppy, even in the menus) but when you turn it off there is also another bug that makes mouse speed dependent on your frame per seconds. The faster it runs the slower your mouse is, I basically had to drag my mouse across my desk twice to do a 360. So I ended up using a tool from RivaTuner to enable V-Sync in Direct X while its disabled in the game.

      That made the game somewhat playable but there was still a small dead band for the mouse (meaning you had to drag the mouse the equivalent of a few pixels before it registered it) that made precision shots a pain to do.

      I'm sure I missed out a great game, but since even after all those effort the controls were still awful compared to any other FPS straight out of the box, I played for maybe 1 hour and never touched it again.

      The pace was a little slower... But given the slightly awkward controls and camera, I think that was a good thing. Especially since you had to aim rather deliberately to cut up some of the creatures. Something truly fast-paced might not have worked well.

      Some of the environments became a bit repetitive, that is true. But if you paid attention there were usually some changes from the last time you were there. Not enough to hide the fact that you'd been there before... But better than having it completely identical.

      You mention Alien... Frankly, Dead Space reminded me a ton of Alien.

      Nothing happens at all for the first half of Alien. They're waking up, figuring out where they are, landing the ship, etc. The most exciting thing is when they break something while landing. No monsters, no blood, no chaos... Nice and slow. And just as you're settling in and getting used to the pace of things, it all goes to hell.

      But even after it all goes to hell - even after we've discovered the monster and he's killing people one by one - the pacing still alternates between calm and chaos. You'll have a scene or two where the monster is killing someone and there's screaming and crying and blood and everything... And then you'll have a scene where the remaining survivors figure out what has happened and deal with their decreased chances of getting out alive.

      Dead Space had a similar kind of pacing. There were lulls where you were steadily trudging through some area that was more or less safe... Some area you'd been through before, or some area with just some pansy monsters... And then they'd drop something worrisome on top of you. A new monster you didn't expect, or one of those tentacles that drags you away, or whatever.

      Gonna have to disagree.

      For the first half (or so) of the game it felt like I was trying to fix the ship. Most of the objectives directly involved fixing something that was broken. And generally the process of fixing the thing involved locating spare parts and flipping switches. There were certainly monsters in the way, but they were simply obstacles. The goal was to get some gizmo up and running (for whatever reason) - not just to kill something nasty.

      After some point (and I'll admit it has been a while since I last played, so I can't very well identify exactly when it happened) it felt like the primary goal was to kill the monsters - not fix the ship. The regenerating super-necromorph is a good example of this... You had an entire couple of levels that seemed to revolve entirely around killing this guy.

      Yes, of course, the marker and the monsters were always part of the story - even before you knew what the marker was or where the monsters came from. And the ship was always part of the story - even when you were eyeball-deep in necromorphs.

      And I realize there weren't a whole lot of real boss monsters in the game.

      Nor am I suggesting that you ever got a mission objective that simply said "kill the boss necromorph."

      But it seems to me that at some point the ultimate goal changed from get enough of the ship working again to get out of this alive to kick necromorph ass and chew bubblegum.

      Not that there's really anything wrong with kicking necromorph ass and chewing bubblegum... But it feels different.

      The first half of the game felt like I was stuck on a rapidly sinking ship with some unpleasant monsters. The monsters were less of a worry (because I could kill them) than the sinking ship. The primary threat to my continued existence was the environment (the ship) itself. If that ship was allowed to sink, it wouldn't matter if I killed monsters or not, because I'd be dead either way.

      Once the ship had been sufficiently fixed, it became just like pretty much any other shooter/horror game. I was no longer on a rapidly sinking ship, but rather on firm ground. I could take my time to deal with the monsters in whatever manner I felt necessary.

      I've always felt that a hostile environment adds a wonderful amount of tension to a horror movie/game/story/book/whatever. Look at something like Alien - not only is there a monster that wants to eat you, but there's nowhere to run to. Or The Thing - you can't just walk away, you're out in the middle of the ice and snow.

      Once the ship had been stabilized, that sense of a hostile environment was largely alleviated. Sure, you were still stuck on the ship out in space... But it was a freaking huge ship. It felt distinctly possible that you could find a quiet place to hide out and wait for rescue.

      And that meant that you were some kind of lone warrior taking the fight to the enemy - much like in Halo or Quake or just about any other shooter I've ever played.

    I've tried several controllers

    There's your problem right there. The keyboard and mouse are way more responsive than any controller. (again, like others have stated, once you turn the in game vsync off the gameplay is perfectly fine)

  14. Scared teh crap out of me by FrigBot · · Score: 1

    I borrowed the game from a friend and played it a fair amount. But it scared the shit out of me. I just couldn't finish it. I'm serious, it was too much. This was on my PS3. Which has since died the blu-ray laser death. Anyway, maybe I'll get around to finishing it someday if I fix my PS3. And I didn't mind the controls or the view or camera angles at all. But then I'm used to Grand Theft Auto and the 3rd person view to begin with. I think a sequel could be good, as long as there are some real evolutionary improvements and not just a rehash of the original. Scared the shit out of me, man.

    With the way the first DEAD SPACE was received and sold, they should've been working on it over a year ago. And by now, we should be hearing, "Dead Space 2 preparing to release in Summer 2010" or something.
