Minor point, but I'm a little surprised that remake didn't retcon the crew compliment of the Ishimura. 1000 workers doesn't seem close to the required amount of biomass to be responsible for all the Corruption or the Leviathan.

It's a video game sure, but esp with the remake the series is pretty damn good at dotting it's is and crossing it's ts. The remake ties in several parts of the lore that didn't exist when the original was made.

@SirTapTap Oh heh, they even have my Transformers example there (as just one of MANY issues with the TF franchise regarding time, size, time etc) :P

"In the original cartoon, it's implied that nothing of importance happened on Cybertron during the four million years the season 1 protagonists lay dormant on Earth until they reawakened in 1984. Shockwave promised Megatron that he would keep Cybertron as he (Megatron) leaves it, but... damn."

@Carnivius I saw a good post on /r/noncredibledefense of one of those "X lich slept for a THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE RISING" and when they wake up they just have fucking tanks and obliterate the evil guys lmao

Minor but appreciated little thing, the remake has isaac lean (but not MOVE) towards a direction you're moving the analog stick within the deadzone.

Nice for the smalllllest possible movements, or just seeing where the dead zone is.

@SirTapTap I noticed a similar detail in . Pressing in L3 sprints. Normally people only press it while already moving but if you press it directly down (in the dead zone, as you say) then Snake hunches down in a sprinters position. This stuff is great.

Why are games so bad with surround sound. They should be the absolute showcase

Playing right, using a repeatedly slamming door to test my rear speakers, which made no sound.

Finally set everything up. Got sound.

Turns out the door sounds can only be heard from the front. It tracks left and right, but it cannot be heard from the rear speaker. Why.

@ALWyvern the actor and sound source aren't culled. You can hear it when it's out of sight, it just keeps coming from the center speaker only

@hirvox it's very weird. After playing a few more hours, MOST sounds are surround, very nice for monster noises. I just don't get why some aren't.

Starting remake

that doesn't look much like Isaac...he does look more like an everyman than a spec ops marine, but still, not Isaac.

Nice accessibility features tho.

Impossible mode...yeah gonna skip that.

Isaac talking in Dead Space remake really makes the Big Twist obvious imo. Maybe it's just because I already know but jeez they really hammer it in

Weapon balance is really good. You can really use anything on anything, for better or worse. I should have played on hard from the start probably

Okay the new Contact Beam completely fucking obliterates Dividers. I like it.

travisromany,

Playing for the first time. It was recently added to and

I know it’s a 15 year old game but it’s new to me. It’s like discovering a classic movie or book for the first time. is one of my favorite movies so exploring a spaceship is 🤩

It’s visually stunning but the 2008 version still holds up. Its HUD-less UI must have felt revolutionary then. It still does.

Gosh, I’d love to see a fully ray traced version of this game.

Dead Space. Ship interior
Dead Space. Digital displays.
Dead Space. Closeup of character.

zersiax,

Stream time! :) In an hour I'll be stumbling my way through , relying on the features and a helpfully written guide by the community to see how far I can get as a fully . We'll likely get horribly destroyed several times, chase our tail even more often and maybe, just maybe, get some actual progress. Content/trigger warnings apply for this one, gory horror game, viewer disgression strongly advised. https://twitch.tv/zersiax

zersiax,

@fireborn up to you :) there's always the VOD

Finished the remaster, and it was well done. The fight with the Hive Mind was much more fun than in the original, and I like how they also made some parts easier that I dreaded previously, looking at you ADS cannons.
