You happy for the remake or that spiritual successor the creator is making?
Looking forward for The Callisto Protocol
Kinda has mixed feelings about remake
>Isaac talks
>D2 zero gravity movement
>Isaac talks
Frick really? Why would they change that?
Supposedly to make him more grounded. But the thing is Isaac is silently freaking out. The man was suffering. The yelling was up to the player.
I don't get why most people seem to be so annoyed by silent protagonists. I always feel a lot more immersed with them like intended.
also anyone who thinks DS2 was better is objectively wrong
>I don't get why most people seem to be so annoyed by silent protagonists
It has to be some kind of autism or something, I dont understand it too.
Normies need shit spoonfed to them. The number of people that don't seem to realize the necromorphs weren't a virus is astonishing.
In the early 2000s people HATED silent protagonists because every game was doing them, and it was seen as lazy, derivative and understandably void of personality. But now they're suddenly hip and cool I guess, because the current mainstream trend is to have blabbermouth characters who vocalize everything they do.
I don't care one way or the other, but it's a mindfrick to see the fashion cycle turning.
Skip to 4:07
ngl that's a nice touch
They said they're adding lines in a couple places where it's weird that Isaac doesn't speak, eg at the start when he's being directly spoken to. Pretty sure they've said in no uncertain terms that they don't plan to add voice lines for every little thing, he'll still largely be a quiet guy, just not a mute self-insert.
I liked his lines in 2, so I don't really have any issues either way. Actually just now checked, I thought his VA sounded different so I was a bit disappointed, but apparently it's the same guy all the way through reprising his role, so that's cool - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunner_Wright#Video_games
>just not a mute self-insert.
Dropped. The only story games I can tolerate are ones where the MC is dead silent. I don't like blue haired trannies putting words in my mouth.
Seems fine to me. That intro where Big breasts McGee asks you a question and you just stare at her fat boobas was jarring as frick, though not entirely unrealistic
Watch them retcon Kendra's big tiddies in the remake.
The fact that I bought this game for six buck at a flee market. One of the best horror experiences I've had with a game.
Nice try Jamal. We know you stole it.
Rent free
Indeed.
Frick no. Everyone should be against it in principle because of how they fricked over and destroyed Visceral and the franchise.
>Dead Space remake that isn't made by Visceral
No.
>that isn't made by Visceral
Visceral was never anything special. They were a support dev that EA setup. They made shit like Sims 3 expansions before Dead Space. The guys who came up with Dead Space 1 left afterwards and had nothing to do with the sequels. Don't bring that MUH TEAM SILENT bullshit into Dead Space.
>remake
doesn't have the original creators on so it's a pass, EA doesn't deserve money. But i'll say that at least the devs seem to care about making it good
>spiritual successor
which one? there are like 3 or so. I mean, if it's actually good i'll buy it otherwise i'll skip
3 has some soul in the coop only missions but the rest was EA trying to make their own gears of war with mtx
I can say one thing positive about Dead Space 3. The dlc. The only thing that felt like Dead Space, and it felt like a final sendoff from the creators of it.
while it doesn't save the game the DLC ends DS3 on a high note.
It's a bleak fricked up ending and gives some cool as lore to end the series with
it's not enough to salvage 3 but it did bring back some much needed SOUL
The dlc actually made me like the concept of the alien moons.
I'm excited for Callisto since I think the DS magic is still there
I've seen compressions to Back 4 Blood saying you shouldn't be excited since that was a spiritual successor too
Difference is Back 4 Blood looked shit from day 1 and the whole "we made Left 4 dead" thing was 90% bullshit since only like 3 dudes worked on L4D made B4B
Callisto is being made by the original creator alongside many former DS 1 and 2 devs
Callisto looks like it has souls while Back 4 Blood looked like total shit from the get go.
I > II >>>>>>>> literal shit > III
2 > 1 > 3
Okay fricking how and why?
Simple.
Because I say so.
>we will never find out why his father's files are marked "Top Secret" by government
nah, it's 2 > 1
1=2 for different reasons though.
So why Isaac and other survivors weren't affected by Marker?
They were, you dunce. In Isaac's case, he was just smart enough to be able to interpret the Marker-shit without going psychotic.
did you even play the game dumb Black person necromorph
I remembered that "being affected" is getting infection, apparently I was wrong.
Smart people see diagrams, equations, and specifications for building markers. Dumb people become moon fodder.
If remake sell well, we will eventually get D2 remake. But what about D3? You think they would completely remade/reboot it?
So why creator left after first game?
It really was. Frick it was good. I wish I could unplay a game so I could play it again
>yfw mom gave all family savings to the cult
>dad went missing and protected by government
>had to take shitty university despite being genius
>girlfriend left to frick bumb nowhere
Extraction was good railshooter
>Tfw you will never get to pump Lexine full of semen
Nathan is in heaven weeping and jacking off while watching Gabe impregnate her.
The GAMEplay of dead space 2 was far superior because of the extra time spent refining it
1 > 3 > 2
>3 > 2
I value single player horror over co-op and co-op over single player action.
Please elaborate
Giving isaac a voice was the worst decision and killed the series.
This
[Spoiler] but I loved "frick you abd frick your marker" part
I would mind if he spoke only when the situation absolutely called for it. Him saying "jesus that thing was angry" to himself is stupid when a simple sigh of relief would've been sufficient.
Isaac was never a player self-insert. Frankly, it was stupid to have him mute in Dead Space. People keep talking to him and he never says anything. The least could have done is what FEAR did where you can eavesdrop on two characters discussing how the player character is a fricking weirdo who freaks them out because he literally never talks.
>Isaac was never a player self-insert
Game creator think otherwise
Then they failed miserably. Isaac is 100% defined by the game. The player has absolutely nothing to do with it.
That's like saying Gordon freeman isn't a self insert because they game defined him
But Gordong Freeman ISN'T a self-insert! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>The only defined part of gordon freeman was that he was a badass
Incorrect
The only thing you know about Gordon is his position in Black Mesa
Everything he achieves in the games, YOU did. He has no personality other than the one you impart on him.
You really think Gordon could actually have done what the player does in the games? Frick no.
He is a shell the player occupies, you get told his name and occupation and that's it; you take over.
That's what a self insert is, you project yourself onto the character. "I am Gordon freeman" as you are playing Gordon his actions and personality are taking over by yours.
Unlike Dead space 2 where isaacs vegana gushes at every misshap and the player cannot impart anything onto him.
>Unlike Dead space 2
And Dead Space 1 in which Isaac is motivated by his guilt over his estranged girlfriend, someone I never met and don't care about, and what happens to her is a big revelation to the player but not to Isaac which makes no fricking sense if Isaac is supposed to be a player self-insert. They literally failed at step fricking 1 of crafting a self-insert; everything the player character knows the player knows too.
Isaac was already fooling himself holding to a small strand of hope that Nicole was still alive. Combined that with the marker using her visage to influence Isaac. For a time Isaac was convinced Nicole was alive.
>Isaac was already fooling himself holding to a small strand of hope that Nicole was still alive
He literally watched a recording of her dying.
>Combined that with the marker using her visage to influence Isaac. For a time Isaac was convinced Nicole was alive.
Frick off. He was already mentally unsound before they got anywhere near the marker. They pulled an SH2 twist. That's fine but don't tell me that's a player self-insert. It's anything but.
>He literally watched a recording of her dying
He only saw that part in the end of the game then Kendra showed it to him
No, he'd already seen the whole video. Kendra points out that he deliberately stops watching at a certain point because he already knows what happens next.
You wrong, you can tell that he was surprised and crushed by his head nod and gestures
No. Kendra calls him insane specifically because she knows he knows Nicole is already dead. She doesn't know he thinks he's been talking to her because he's a fricking silent protagonist who never says anything.
>she knows he knows Nicole is already dead
Literally never mentioned or ever indicated in the game, but whatever helps your headcanon, I guess
>I was starting to like you. Even if you are insane. Don't believe me? Watch the video... to the end this time.
The only reason Kendra would think Isaac is insane to think Nicole is still alive would be because Isaac already knows Nicole is dead and Isaac already knows Nicole is dead because he's already seen the video of her death. She doesn't have to give it to him. He's already got it. She's not aware that Isaac has been hallucinating Nicole because he never mentions it because he's a silent protagonist. Isaac already new Nicole was dead. That's just a fact. He was just suppressing it or whatever bullshit fake psychology crap they make up for fiction which is why Kendra considers him insane.
Sure thing bud, don't @ me ever again
Read mission objectives, you can tell by them that he was not aware about her death
He wasn't. The only defined part of gordon freeman was that he was a badass. You could imagine anything since its first person. But everything that happens in Dead Space relies on scripted events and for god's sake he even has an iconic grunt.
I had my own headcanon for DS1, where Isaac is a mental moron roped into doing hideously dangerous industrial maintenance work. That's why he's mute, has that blank stare, has "moron strength" and through some kind of innocent charm attracts a hottie patottie girlfriend like Nicole.
His background and childhood actually fit in your headcanon
Interesting. And, since you’re obviously a black man, I would like to ask you, if you feel equally represented in modern gaming? What changes would the black community like to see, moving forward?
Maybe.
2's story definitely had some electric boogaloo energy but the gameplay was also polished to a mirror sheen.
Too bad the combat is inferior to DS2 otherwise it would be perfection.
Why wont these gays show off real gameplay yet?
The game comes out early next year for fricks sakes.
favourite weapon?
For me it's the line gun
1-plasma cutter
2- javalin
Plasma cutter and impulse rifle
>impulse rifle
Altfire in D1 was better then in D2
Force Gun
force gun and javelin launcher
2 is better. More weapon variety, more enemy variety, more location variety. Only thing worse is that its more action heavy.
Giving Isaac a personality and voice was not a bad idea and it works in 2 since Isaac is very likeable
But I do not see the point in remaking 1 just to give him a fricking voice it's pointless as shit to change 1 for this.
The first game is good, but I prefer the 2nd game.
First game had better atmosphere and story. 2nd game had better combat and polished mechanics.
3rd can go frick itself.
3 had this
True enough. I do actually remember that mission fondly.
this too
does atmosphere matter as much if the game is not scary?
The atmosphere did a great job at conveying the dread of being alone on a very confining space ship. I'll agree that Dead Space 1 isn't scary, but it is unsettling.
that's fair, I agree with you there
>does atmosphere matter
Yes you moron. what kind of question is that? atmosphere is important to most games if you aren't immersed it's most likely not a very good game.
Dead Space 2 has the best gameplay
But 1 has better everything else.
If Callisto sucks I'll blow my brains out
I have been waiting for a proper follow up to DS2 since 2009
It has an undeniable aura of kino anon.
It's gonna be great.
Callisto Protocol is going to suck. Imagine thinking replacing limb dismemberment with a generic focus on environmental hazards is a good idea.
What are you on about? limb dismemberment is clearly still a big thing in Callisto plus DS had environmental hazards you could use to kill necros too.
Learn to read gay because I never said environmental hazards were a bad thing inherently just that stripping back the mechanics that made Dead Space remotely good in the first place is moronic if you aren't going to apply something different.
>limb dismemberment is still clearly a thing
Based on what we have seen, it clearly isn't. Every enemy is a generic zombie, the only firearm we have seen is some flare gun looking thing with no interesting interactions or uses. The focus on all trailers has been hazards.
Its just the starting gun and starting enemies. You can clearly see how enemies get dismembered.
Enemies can get dismembered=/=Dismemberment is the central mechanic from which all interesting encounters are formed
I expect headshots to be the most effective strategy for 99% of encounters and I expect the weapon variance to be arbitrary reload times, DPS, ammo capacity differences.
Didn't we see the enemies keep going without their heads? pretty sure we did.
I only played the first one and yeah: it's fricking great. How's is two, it's the one they added coop bullshit, or it was in the third one?
3rd is the co-op. It's not a bad game, but it's a bad Dead Space game.
it's kind of generic to say but I think it rings true
>Dead Space 1=Alien
>Dead Space 2=Aliens
Play it my boy.
>>Dead Space 1=Aliens
>>Dead Space 2=Aliens with a larger budget
ftfy
Huh. Explains why Dead Space 3 is Dead Space 3.
>2022
>Still no monsters that are as cool as necromorphs
What fricking gives? is it really that hard to make cool enemy types anymore?
did anyone else actually like the dead space 2 pvp?
I recall having fun at the end when team work becomes optional, and you can really see who your friend is, and who just wants to survive.
Name a more kino moment.
2 is the best, objectively better in every aspect including atmosphere
Post necromorphs which scares you the most
Tall homies
Dead Space 3 is the best one. And it closes off the series perfectly.
Your not even trying bro
Dead Space 2 is a lot better than 1. DS1 is very predictable with its horror and the locations are very samey - of course it makes sense in the setting, but still.
Dead Space 2 despite being more action oriented has better horror, as it doesn't rely on enemies coming out of same fricking vents all the time or walking into room with enemies clearly laying on the floor. Enemies play dead and are better designed to raise tension and scare you, like those birds/raptors that hide and run at you when you look at away.
The locations in DS2 are better too, more varied and enemies come from different places - as in it's actually randomized. The story is better too. Plus you get the benefit of it being still a really great action game on top of it all.
Dead Space 2 also did the "no cut camera" better than GoW2k18 did. It's honestly one of the best (action/horror) games of all time.
Can't wait for the 3rd game in the series to come out somewhen.
