    Welp, I didn't make it in time for Halloween so I really took my time with this one! Hope you guys enjoy it and be careful out there! Wouldn't want you guys to shit your pants and all that. Also, I didn't know what sort of background music to use for Dead Space as the game's music is all bombastic orchestral pieces that are kind of distracting so I put some Left 4 Dead songs in there just FYI

    Speaking of Isaac’s suit, I recall reading somewhere that the developers took some inspiration from hard hat diving suits, especially those designed for industrial areas where the person wearing the suit is expected to be repairing a piece of equipment while completely submerged.
    Watching the footage you’ve captured after all the years since I last played Dead Space or its sequels, I can definitely appreciate the rugged utilitarian aesthetic they were going for in regards to Isaac’s iconic suit.

    • @adioamigo22
      @adioamigo22 2 роки тому +8

      DS2 did a really good job of showcasing that inspiration with the vintage engineer suit. It's bulkier, has an air tank on the back, and the suit has couplings for the gloves and boots instead of looking like armor plating over a body glove.

I still haven't played through it. I just lost interest in it. Which sucks cause I paid full price. The graphics alone turned me away and killed the immersion. And I love Fallout 3and New Vegas. Graphics suck in those games but they're not cartoonish or like you're reading a comic book. I wasn't a fan of fallout 4 either. It was too colorful and the b.s. with dialogue and dumbing it down so that COD players might buy it pisses me off to no end. Either way I was hoping for obsidian to give me a REAL RPG with at least semi realistic graphics and a good story. I'm not happy with what I bought.

    I feel Dead Space 1 had the best Suit Designs as well, and the natural progression of Isaac’s engineer Rig into full on Body Armor was great. Something the future games didn’t nail quite as well with the exceptions being the advanced suit and Arctic Survival suit in my opinion which had great aesthetic to them.
    It would be cool if in The Dead Space Remake, instead of finding Suit Schematics, you would find them on the bodies of previous engineers who died during the Outbreak. Not a required change, but nonetheless would make the player feel more vulnerable and paranoid since even the strongest Rig wouldn’t be enough protection from the Necromorphs.

      To add that feeling of isolation, is the feeling of no control,. Let's talk about the mechanics and enemy AI.
      The game play didn't make you feel like an unstoppable bad ass, but a bad ass non the less. But the mechanics were tougher then just mowing down baddies with an AR with a huge clip. Or sniping head shots, or blowing them away with a big fucking shot gun. No, you had an engineering tool, that was bad ass but could easily miss, and very limited ammo (at least on hard). Which made you always have to sit up, and pay fucking attention to every shadow, every noise. Situational awareness was crucial, and tense. Most FPS games or 3rd person, whathaveyou, is fun, yeah, challenging, sure, but are you sitting up, ears perked, dialed in at every moment? No, we're sitting back feet up, having a thrill shooting the hell out of enemies that are more meant to die, then to actuality kill you .

    the biggest reason why I like Isaac Clarke is simple, he has a gun and is scared and alone. He is a badass that realistically does not want to be in the situation he is in. A lot of Indie horror deals with characters who are scared and when they meet the monster they push and run away, and if it gets them well they are dead. Isaac (to me at least) is that human feeling of "oh Shiz I don't wanna die" and in a last ditch effort for survival we swing for the fences. a lot of his struggle animation is him not only overcoming the beast but punching it and stomping it to a bloody mess. Hell if Isaac was in a horror movie he would absolutely be the type of guy to "Double tap", "Triple tap"... "Multi tap", the Monster once it's down, not turn around and say "well glad that's over." But I also love the fact that he is scared, he isn't a badass that KNOW's he is going to win in the end, He is a normal dude who is an engineer in the most horrible situation ever. But does he give up? no, Should he give up? maybe. Is he going to give up? fuck no. He is going to Hail Mary this shiz and hope he makes it to the other side.

Still, the Dead Space series had one of the best storylines I've ever seen in a game. Idk if this was intentional or not, but floating around in space has always been one of my biggest 'fears' lmao. Obviously having a cool space suit/power armor makes it a lot less 'dangerous'. But if your suit randomly lost power, you'd basically die lol. A tiny crack in your gear could lead to death. Not to mention any kinda high-speed maneuvers would be extremely difficult or even fatal, especially over long periods of time.

      The best option is to remaster the first two games, fix the bad checkpoints, make good pc ports, and make Dead Space 3: The Visceral cut. This would be the dead space 3 visceral wanted to make, using leaked ideas as a basis to help create the dead space 3 we all wanted. I don't think a reboot would be the right way to go, because than Isaac would probably talk, and while I love Gunner Wright as Isaac, the first game is better without a voiced protagonist. The game's atmosphere would not work if Isaac talked. Even worse, with how EA works, they wouldn't bring back Gunner to voice Isaac, because why stay consistent and bring back a fantastic voice actor when we can save some money and just have one of our speed dial voice actors play the part.

      Dead space 2 and 3 had amazing SEGMENTS.. But as a whole package Dead Space 1 was definitely the best complete story. Dead Space 2 could have up'd the atmosphere in the sprawl especially because its suppose to be post outbreak... Dead space 3, well thats a whole different demon as they started dismembering the game giving you torso but charging you for the limbs... seperating so much of the gameplay like that with Microtransactions made it so disjointed, making the game maybe to easily accessible??

      @@MatthiasAI I disagree. I think DS2 overall has a less tedious and more fun story to playthrough. A lot of that comes down to the guns and enemies being balanced better and the overall level design being engaging. DS1 again had the better horror atmosphere in comparison to DS2's slightly more action focused one, but I'd give replayability to DS2. I never did get around to finishing my DS1 impossible playthrough, but I did complete Hardcore on 2.

    he's a regular guy, an engineer! he didn't train for combat, he didn't train for psychic bs, he didn't prep for ANYTHING and has to use the equipment provided on hand to get through a nightmare!
    he is a common guy who managed to survive something noone else could, but he didn't get out of it without a scratch or two, isaac is FUCKED UP in the 2nd one, always double checking if what he's seeing is real or not and stuff like that.

      Because Golden Eye? You can't remaster the nostalgia people manufacture from games with older graphics and mechanics. They replace the cracks in fractured memories with only the good feelings because that's simply what people do. It just was, will never be again, and any denial of it is really sad. But hey, go play FF7 remastered. Even assholes who destroy the turn-based battle system of an entire genre and replace it with action that makes you want to puke your fucking guts up need money too.

All good stuff. Condemned 1 & DS series are 2 of my horror faves with horror being a fave genre. My fave era for gaming though is probably always gonna be the PS1 & PS2 era's. Just so many classics, faves, and games that very regularly seemed to feel "new and fresh". I wish more games from those years would get atleast a remaster if not a proper remake.

    I remember playing dead space 2 and by the time I returned to the ishimura I was low on health, I had like 5 shots in my plasma cutter, I had no money, and I had nothing else. For the majority of the walk through the ishimura I feel like I was reliving the horror I felt when I first entered it in the first dead space. I felt hopeless, I felt dread, I felt fear that I haven't felt since the first game. I find a broom that I can use with kinesis to impale the limbs. I slowly continue to scour the ship not finding anything realizing it has no supplies. And thats when I got to the big room with the two brutes, and several of the impaler babies and the suicide ones. I was very lucky with a couple of my shots with the broom to the suicide babies to decapitate the heads and use them against the brutes weak spot. I had a sliver of health left and somehow I finally managed to get them all using the brooms, the babies, and 3 of the 5 shots I had left. I managed to scrounge up some more ammo, health packs, and credits. That is the kind of fear I love to feel when I play games like that
