The sequel is also really great. Good find!
Awesome game. One of about three games I have played to completion in the past decade. Am currently about half way through the sequel.
You must have kids.
What were the other two?
Hah. Uncharted and Abzu!
I recommend you check out Journey if you liked Abzu. It's nice and short, and still pretty, so even you could find the time to beat it.
I prefer short games myself. Flower is another short but pretty game made by the developers or Journey.
amazing series - one of my all-time favourites
Watch the animated movies, they're great
amazing
seriesfirst two games in a series.Fixed that for you.
Great find shadow
Reading about the camera and frame rate issues on PC I'm glad I already played through this back on PS3. Absolutely fantastic game. The sequel is good too. Haven't gotten round to the third installment..
I started playing it on PC within the last 6months, was pleasently suprised at how well it holds up given it's age.
The third one is the weakest in the series, but still a solid game.
Nothing beats the original and the first time you step out into space.
3rd one definitely favours the Bro-op genre over horror. Is lots of fun with a friend, competing to build the funnest/craziest guns.
This game was too scary me and my friend did not end up playing due to too much horror…
Can I down-vote this for causing stuff to come out down there?
Oh also, I'm joking…
It's not OP's fault you wet yourself. Downvote those terrifying monsters instead.
And yes, this game will do that to you!
I meant shit myself but eh whatever.
You shouldn't have clarified what you meant, this game would have been ozbargained by now…..
Thanks OP. been meaning to play this for a long time.
Warning: this game is hot garbage. Especially on PC if you're planning on playing with a controller. Would legitimately give this game a 3 out of 10. The sequel would get a 9 out of 10, they fixed pretty much every issue with the first game.
Talking out of your ass
I played the whole thing from start to finish. I think I have a little experience in what I'm talking about.
Who in their right mind would play a shooter on PC with a controller?
They deliberately nerfed the mouse controls because the game was balanced around console analog stick controls. They thought it would be too easy with a mouse and didn't want to rebalance the game for PC, because most publishers considered PC gamers chumps and still do.
This isn't a shooter. It's 3rd person survival horror/action. Who plays 3rd person console games games with a keyboard?
And everyone who's disregarding my comment… enjoy the asteroid section when you get to it. And dying randomly while landing in anti-grav sections over and over and over again. And wasting clips shooting glitchy dead enemies rolling around acting alive. And the outdoor asteroid field dodging section. I could go on.
Its a third person shooter…
I played this coop on the wii.
Great game!The Wii game is a completely different spin off, just in case you weren't aware
Really wasn't aware of this. I'll create an origin account and 'buy' this now, thanks.
Edit: p.s. I enjoyed the wii game!
This game is pretty amazing, well worth a try. DS2 is extremely good (if not better) if you like this one.
Play at night with the lights turned off, with headphones, I dare you.
How is it compared to Doom? Or left 4 dead in terms of scariness?
Left 4 Dead can be tense, but not scary.
Doom has jump scares, otherwise not scary.Dead Space Is tense and scary. There were sections of the game where I was playing with genuine feeling of dread. Even after subsequent play throughs.
Thanks, got out of video games around when this was released.
PC version is fine as long as you use a 360 controller. Mouse aim is slow.
Someone fixed this last year :)
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/840-dead-space…
and use Widescreen Fixer to adjust the FOV
Wow.. only took 9 years.
Yeah guess it just takes the right person who has the skills to fix it to get the game. I replayed it last year with the 2 fixes and it's quite playable with keyboard/mouse now.
@Agret: I thought it would be the ideal way to play it, but that game used so many buttons that the face buttons had to double up their functions with a toggle (the aim trigger). I never tried playing it with keyboard, but it seems you would need a lot more buttons than a typical shooter, unless it too uses a toggle (which would be very bad for a keyboard).
I ended up playing DS2 and DS3 with 360 controller, despite the mouse aiming being fixed in those games.
I have this from when the last time it was on the house.
Sadly I could not solve flickering and frame rate issues. Looked like a really good ahead of its time game though!
I have this from when the last time it was on the house.
Me too. I tried adding it again to see if it would double up like it did with Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Peggle. But it seems like they fixed it. Not that there's any point in doubling up in your library anyway.
Great game, one of my favorites
