But this one really gives me the creeps.

yeah, i've watched those animated comics from xbl store. gotta love Ben Templesmith (30 days of night).

made me more curious about the game, really. but i dun think i'll buy it when it comes out. wait for 2nd hand.

so who ever is going to buy this game, if you are thinking of selling it later, try PM me.

This game would be nice if they concentrated on developing the story and gameplay of the game rather than inputting multiplayer perspectives into it.
Look at how BioShock turn out to be is proof.

i am sure this game isn't coming out at october their going to hype it oct21 oct21 then delay to jan 09

Updated the 5th animated comic video.
Creepiness!!

Well, Warren Ellis had a bit of hand in the storyline. would be nice to see how that turns out.

Metacritic of 90 so far http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/deadspace

Definitely a sleeper hit , especially by EA .. !

I'm buying it from gh...tonite or tmrw when it's out Looks fawesome

Another game that imma get for mah pc

So is it as scary as they say?

My standards of scary are pretty much Eternal Darkness.

Eternal darkness... when you try to swat a virtual fly off the screen... you've been playing too much!

Awesome gruesome detail!! Thumbs up from me

Issit in at GH yet?

tomorrow

GameSpot review of Dead Space is out!
Kindly refer to here for the review.
For the lazy ones, the game scored a might 9.0

time to perform strategic dismemberment!!

Wow, didn't know EA makes horror games! Cool trailer especially the twinkle2 song....

From what i hear, one of the more refreshing parts is that beheading the baddies isnt what kills them. in the end, you have to take out the limbs.

Oh well, we'll see how this one turns out.

Not a game to be played
alone... at night... a dark and stormy night.. when your wife likes to scare you just because you told her NOT to!

there's this overall silence in the ship.. no sounds other than the enemies crawling around scraping metal.. knocking over stuff all over the ship, but you can't see them!

then there's the play of shadows, more than once I jumped when I thought I saw the shadow outline of an enemy behind me!

and then.. the cutting of limbs.. yes.. very important... shooting their heads just seem to piss them off but at least they can't bite you without a head. comparatively shooting their limbs might kill them quicker cause it seems to cause MASSIVE DAMAGE!! took out one before but just severing it's left arm.

right now ammo is scare, when i realized that the inventory shows how many BULLETS you have instead of clips.. then you go oh oh. and realize that you've only picked up 12 SHOTS instead of CLIPS. then you waste 10 of them on a guy shambling towards you. Then you see his 2 friends. Oh shit!

Luckily you have a melee attack, which does ok damage and is able to kill the enemies. But Isaac isn't a sup'ed up marine, his swing is wide and slow, so you have to time it properly. also.. if you swing meets the wall you'll hit hit and be thrown back a bit.

too bad i'm busy at work so I couldn't play too much.

Added on October 15, 2008, 11:24 amoh yeah.. as for movement and controls

- more devil may cry than resident evil tank like, BUT.. I guess the suit is heavy so issac turns a bit slow.

for aiming
- good : like RE4 there's a laser sight attached to the weapon so you can see what you're gonna chop off. for the default weapon you can also choose to fire the cutting shot vertically (for shooting enemy's arms off when they spread their arms and ask you for a hug) or horizantallly (for chopping their legs off, or when they wave hello at you)
- bad : like RE4 the darn enemies DUCK, so when you have a good shot TAKE it!

@marauderz - It is a nice way to describe "strategic dismemberment" lmao

at first I was wondering why they even allowed you to change the guns orientation. Then I realized that must be the only reason lar.

my scorpion suit code appears to be invalid, anyone have the same problem ?

His curb stomp is so powderful .....

Anyway awesome game . A revolution from EA ? This and mirror edge .

Never tried the keys yet btw ... for the suit .

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 16 2008, 02:50 AM

where do you get keys?

It's a paper that comes with the game ? Where you bought your copy ?

Just order from TSB... last copy

i bought mine at gh, i thought every copy comes with the scorpion suit code ?

Yup. But I guess they forgot to pack it inside the game..

Boss i bought the game from your shop yesterday and got the code for the scorpion suit.
But when i tried to redeem they wrote invalid code

I didnt buy also didnt get the codes, what gives?!



Anyways, damn tempting to get this for xbox since pc version is not available yet

Didnt buy one yet. my shopping spree in singapore just before they released dead space.

So now i pokai. Djinn, buy one from u later kay? I would give an arm and a leg, but apparently im dismembered.

Definitely blockbuster game , in every way . Very polished from EA , surprisingly .

Dismember yo ! I play 4 hours straight .

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 16 2008, 06:27 PM

This game reminds me of System Shock 2. You trapped in a spaceship, filled with mutants & weird creatures & you have to survive in order to escape from the ship. The best game I've played for PC last time...

Cool! I'm definitely going to get this one!

after checking all the codes. the codes seems not "active" yet in singapore,

however, you can redeem the code if you are using US Account.

But Not Asia Yet. Will tried to contact them

playing now

For sure you'll be impressed

BTW .. there's a figure here !



look closely ...

Nice game with great visuals + sound design, high production values too.

u mean the ahem one ? or original ?

Original of course

Damn i misunderstood the hardest difficult achievement, i thought it meant 'hard', but actually it's 'impossible' that will be unlocked upon finishing 'medium' or 'hard'... Play at hard difficulty is like no point...well except the extra challenge, extra death and extra stress

Now i'm doing a plasma cutter only run @ hard, quite challenging... Kena 2-3 hits mati already, have to be full alert all the time... Ammo also not many, have to shoot VERY accurately... When can we get the scorpion suit DLC? I think the 20% more armor will make my game less stressed...

i've got the scorpion level 5 suit...damn cun la for me

Wohoo, the suits just become available a while ago, those who got invalid code previously, try it now And also the free elite suit

Maybe using the scorpion suit for hardest mode run .

Oh I think its a good practice to always look behind after killing one .

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 18 2008, 02:23 AM

Hardest run should use lvl6 military suit ba...

I find looking back after killing one is too late... should look behind after you stasis/cripple the one in front. If you memang intend to stasis the one behind or run while shooting behind, that's still ok, but still risky...

Yea but crippling one that is too nearby and turning behind for another one , the crippled one can easily lunge behind you .

But at long range no doubt you just need to cripple him to delay the distance .

scorpion suit 25% armor > elite suit 10% armor

Finish the game for the first round . A game worth keeping .

But ... you don't get to bring over your stuff when you switched difficulty GG . Trying impossible mode now ... need scorpion suit . Good thing is the game is kinda forgiving .

didn't expected this game so good.. "EA" lol....

I'm hearing damn good things about this game. I saw it being played the other day, and it looks fantastic. Not much of a fan of survival horror, cos it scary...

Gotta get this, I think, but so many top titles coming out, so little time & $

The scarier the better because current gen really lack of scary games . We need darker games and more gore !

Alone in the Dark , meh . Jericho meh ...

Holy crap, i read that the military suit can only be gotten after you beat the game at that particular difficult once! So you can only use it in impossible mode after you beat it once This is soooooooo tedious...

Cheaters only:

Exactly , that's why I think Scorpion suit is the best for Impossible mode first run . Although you're given the default level 5 suit already at the start , Scorpion is still better with 5% extra armor . Not that it really helps , just red color looks cooler lol .

Still no pc release

Eric borrow borrow borrow

gnome,
u can borrow jay's copy

Yeah, Too bad I Can't play it on impossible level with militia suit. .

Guess I have to play finish imposssible level then go for Round 2 for hard!

Har Jason , if you finish liao Impossible why still bother with hard mode ?

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 21 2008, 03:05 AM

replay value and of course unlocks all the achievements

Achievement wh*re!

ya, if you want it i can send to you..but you pay the postage la ofcourse!

But isn't it better to dig achievement in easy or normal?

Btw, does anyone has a good strategy on the ADS mission? How the hell can people do >50 hull strength
I barely left 10-20 when i finished the two missions...
Please don't tell me "try not to suck" "aim better" "practice till you drop"

Exactly , I think the brawler achievement I'll do it in easy lol .

Bout the ADS , yeah I need a guide also . I managed to get better result in my impossible run last night , around 40% ... IMO , there are some meteorites you can ignore , those that flying out of screen do little to no damage .

Nono. Don't get me wrong. I still want to "Feel the game" not just whore for points Thats why I started out hard first
(But the truth is, I thought I can get the hardest achievement together, but didn't know there is impossible Mode after beating the game . But Playing hard is challenging.. Really get your heart Pumping! You guys should try it.

As for the ADS Mission just concentrated on the Center of those Asteroids . Don't need to bother those top and bottom... (Cause its actually doesn't hit the hull at all )

okey
im stuck at chapter two
at wat the name of the clinic...
there is two doors..
both cannot open..


and there is 1 power box..
im used my kinertic energy to put it on the slot..but every time i release the trigger..
it will fall...


now..
wat am i missed??

huh?.. if not mistake once u put in the light color change...

i tried several time
everytime i put inside the slot...
it fix nicely...but after i realse my left trigger + b
then i fall on the ground again..
is it some bug??

any screenshot where u stuck at?

at office right now...
will do tomorrow

I prefer this game than GOW2 actually.I was like "WOW" while seeing the beginning cutscene(after starting a game),very nice graphics.Feels like DOOM also but it still very good.

so how many heart attacks have you guys gotten so far?

wah scary ler the game...
those necromorphs pandai suprise attack lah...
some more play alone at last night...

only just finished chapter 1, now going to the med-clinic...

Check your objective , some door are meant not to be opened at first . But before that are you sure the slot is empty before you slot in anything . It supposed to go in easily if its empty because the game will automatically fits it in as long as you placed it nearby .

It won't fall , you need to hold the trigger and B together all the way until the power box is slotted in . Ive yet to encounter any bugs in the game , very polished .

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 23 2008, 12:36 PM

The only time i got shocked is at the end... because thru out the game i was like in full alert, be prepared for anything... but the end game, i was expecting the credits, but suddenly *censored*.

Added on October 24, 2008, 1:41 amBTW , woot !! GG the Impossible mode . Now left few achievement gor 1000/1000

@Leenaz , using telekinetic doesn't require holding B , just the trigger .



This post has been edited by Breaktru: Oct 24 2008, 01:41 AM

confirm got bug
at early chapter 2
at clinic wat name forgot

last time i tried 1 hrs..canot fit the power box to the power hole
last night i managed to fit it nicely...not even 1 mins



oke..
now i had anotehr prob


at space bridge..
after i on all 3 ADS power supply..
how to passed the zero gravity bridge??
always my body explode

Take cover behind the raised blocks when asteroids are coming thru.

tq2

hahah lenanza ur dead space kena jinx?
lol... EA ask u dun play so much la.. after married need to take care bini...

BTW do you guys got the elite suit?.. according to TSB.. SEA only giving out 500 redeem code.. damn lame >"<

hahahaha
no laa..
im playin while my wife working..

Ive downloaded the elite suit and its definitely doesn't looks as good as the Obsidian for PS3 .

BTW , some good practice for Impossible Mode run , also work well for easier mode . These are just my preference , other might have easier tactics .

1. Always run when you have chance , usually when there is no lockdown . Necromorph aren't smart enough to open doors .
2. Aim the leg to cripple , check surrounding rinse and repeat .
3. If facing multiple enemies , always stand at the corner where there aren't any vent or hole for them to crawl out , to prevent backstab .
4. Statis is your best friend . So , upgrade the duration .
5. I don't really upgrade HP , you die after 1 or 2 hit , its better to restart the game than wasting potions .
6. Explosive canister also your best friend , fully utilize . Use kinetic , grab and shoot , deal massive damage .

Against certain monster ...

1. The brute(big guy with armor) . Forget about shooting behind him , statis him and you'll see a yellow weak spot between his head and right arm . 3-4 of nice Contact Beam shots easily break 1 of his arm , and shoot or two to his body he'll be dead .
2. Monster attached to wall . One explosive canister spell doom to this monster , otherwise if there are no canister , 2 well placed mine from the line gun kill it straightaway .

Is there a deadline to download the elite? I just got the game but was planning to leave it in the shrinkwrap until i finish BioSyok.

hmm...why not just d/l the suit first? don't need to open the game for that

man i've dieded countless times already...really hate it when you see two of em and not knowing there's one behind 2 bites and that's it...

I tot need to code to redeem the elite suit?

Elite Suit is free on Xbox live (limited Time only)

the Scorpion Suit is Free for the first batch of orders only.

ah.... did not know that. when and downloaded it already.

hey. i got one from eddy while you were not there. that one should have the code right?

Here's what I figured out while playing.

- the game will give you ammo of the guns you have mainly. So don't carry around too much guns at a time and you'll be able to stockpile a lot of ammo. I just carry the line gun, or plasma cutter along with the ripper.
- Like breakthrough, I haven't upgraded my RIG, luckily with the Elite suit you get all slots, and that's all the upgrade I need.
- If you see a body of the monster on the floor and you didn't kill it.. it's probably playing dead, either pop a cap in it, or try to pull it in with kinesis, you can't pull live enemies.

Added on October 25, 2008, 9:09 pmSo after finishing the game on standard I have this to say.

It was a fun experience, but story wise... not so good. Why? well for that we must venture into spoiler tag territory.
If you haven't finish the game DO NOT READ FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! DO NOT READ
