One thing Dead Space taught me that I’ve done in every game since I’ve played DS: if you walk in a room and there’s already a dead body there, SHOOT IT.
I still remember hearing the audio recording of a guy knowing he was going to die. He knew he'd die and become one of those thinks killing people. So, before he died, he used a cutter to blast off his own limbs and counted down each limb as he did it. Man, that stuck with me.
I literally just experienced that part of the game today when playing the remake, it’s my first time playing it. I agree it was haunting and I have not experienced something so chilling
@@gabeaviles1300 HUD is the display os screen that are not in the game, such as health bar, ammo count, minimap, these things Instead of doing outside the game they integrated these elements inside the game, for instance the health bar, that is in the back of the character, and not on the corner or the screen
@@jeremiahsundial7801 alot of times in the game development industry, the people who work on and test the games are neglected or treated less fairly. That being said they usually aren't mentioned at all, so there isn't anything they would be called otherwise.
@@thegreatpoo2electricboogal318 maybe for you but iv yet to see anything about it or anyone talking about it. These comments are the first iv even heard of the game
It's utterly heartbreaking to see this guy open his heart up and dissect every tiny detail about the love that went into this game, only to have EA shut it all down after they ruined 3.
Joseph Yang there were some scares, like when if you played as carter your surroundings were different from Isaacs in certain situations, but that required coop unfortunately
@@OldNorthFoxx222 The fans made it fail, because the 3rd Game was going away to be an Horror Game. It was not just more action based, it was also the first Game EA used to try out "microtransaction" in a Full Price Game. If you really try to compare the 3rd with the first 2 Games, then you maybe see, that the 3rd tries to be a "different" Games. The same happen btw with "F.E.A.R.". The 3rd Game was also more action based and the "Horror" parts are nearly none existend. I know that Fans can be "brutal" if it comes to there beloved series, but if it comes to try changing the Series overall, im totally understand the way of how a fan thinks. We also seen this with Resident Evil. Even with good sells of RE6, Capcom did go back more to Horror again, because RE is Horror, not just "pew pew".
@Cryer24597 3 was reviewed unfairly in my opinion. I played it solo and co-op, and the optional sections with Carver's side missions were some of the best parts of the game. I agree the game got too "actiony" but it was still scary at certain points and I enjoyed the weapon customization. Shame on EA for adding microtransactions though. DS3 was a great game despite what reviews said.
Hey yall, the director of dead space is making a new game called "The Callisto Protocol" check out the trailer!!! th-cam.com/video/WnVhgyLbC8Ah/w-d-xo.htmlttps://th-cam.com/video/WnVhgyLbC8Ah/w-d-xo.htmlttps://th-cam.com/video/WnVhgyLbC8A/w-d-xo.html
Now most of them just think about how many lootboxes and battle passes they can fit in, while having the bare minimum content in the base game. Also how much of the game they can put in dlc.
@@cheesemuffin8129 and rather than releasing the full game the cut out chunks and sell them back claiming they are DLC when they are the actual content the game should have had in the first place.
@@gendygoblin8391 kind of like the new cold war. The game is great but theres only one zombies map until a DLC comes out. And only playstation have access to nuketown zombies
@@770megaman yeah that’s a good point but the devs do also have a major role in the creation of a product, the publishers will just push it in another direction which can have an impact. It has been a pretty complicated system in the past and especially now so I see what you mean. Rather than just devs I think the whole team should have that mind set.
Having played through both the Callisto Protocol and Dead Space remake recently, it's crazy how these 2 games were directed by the same person. Callisto felt like an empty shell of a copy that doesn't understand the source material at all. It had good graphics and decent atmosphere but also the worst combat system i have ever seen in a game which ruined all immersion and tension. The Dead Space remake wasn't even made by the same people yet they clearly understand what made the original Dead Space great and improved upon every single aspect. It's a shame the person who originally came up with many of these ideas is so out of touch now.
In my opinion is the proof that a game isn't made just by one talented person or not even many talented people fullstop, but you have to have many talented people with great chemistry that are able to complement one another to make a great game
I would say game development isn't Hollywood: a studio leader can't put together the same team after the studio breaks up because everybody is not still living in Canoga Park and ready to go. It's disbursed enough and causes enough burn out that people have to move on and you can't get them back. So there's no pretending a director is an author.
I don't feel like its fair to equate the result of a game with the ability of one person. Games are built on the backs of teams, and studios, and publishers, and in amongst all those bodies, a lot of things can go wrong Its easy to want to point the finger to one spot and have that have all the answers. But game development ain't easy. And so we gotta be considering the reasons for why one doesn’t turn out great isn't also
This guy seems like he was wanted by the mob so he changed his identity to a game dev....but he was actually really good at it and now he does it for a living.
Very ignorant of you to say that. Im an Italian American from NYC and work in software engineering. I guess I was wanted by the mob too. You know how many times in my career I feel I haven't been validated cuz I look and sound similar to this guy. Im sure he's felt it also way more than I have even making games as successful as he has. You should take an educated approach to your youtube likes, Bro. Not all of us look like like Silicon Valley.
They're not rare, it's just rare to find a developer that isn't restricted by funding now. The creators all want to do what they want...they just CAN'T.
I miss when game developers wanted their players to actually enjoy their games rather than wanting them to become addicted and to give them all their money via loot box rng
Not gonna lie, hearing that Event Horizon was a source of inspiration brought a huge smile to my face. Both that movie and DeadSpace1&2 had incredible atmosphere and a continuous eerie sense of dread that never let up, even during the "quiet" moments. Dead Space was one of those series that really made me consider the "feel" of a game with cosmic horror and speculative fiction. I just love this game man.
it’s a master class in atmosphere and sound design, to be sure. Schofield and his team absolutely crushed Dead Space. hearing about Event Horizon also brought a massive smile to my face! i remember watching it for the first time at a friend’s in college and thinking “oh, the Dead Space guys have to have LOVED this movie.”
@@redcenturion88 i’m streaming the game for a friend, who’s never seen it before. we got to the Ch3 tram/safe room last night and he sees the chief engineer dead in the chair and goes: “oh i don’t trust that at all.” “we’re in a safe room.” there was a good two second pause and then “…. i still don’t trust it.” got a pretty good chuckle out of me
Well there won't be anymore Dead Space games, but maybe we'll get something similar from Glen in the future if circumstances allow it. Either way I'll still go back and play the entire trilogy through like 3 times a year at least.
I just recently jumped back into Dead Space. I think you can just replay the first 2. The first one is a work of art and then the second is a solid expansion on it. The third is EA attempting to destroy all the joy in the world.
@@alc3062 What happens to every company owned by EA. They take a creative idea, overly destroy said idea with what is most popular at the time, making the game lose it's core audience and appeal in an attempt to make a huge multi million dollar IP outta it and give it mass appeal. It backfires, undersells since it doesn't appeal to any specific group, loses money, stock holders get mad, and they shutter the company they bought and shuffle off any survivors to other things. Rinse and repeat.
“I enjoyed making Dead Space so much that, hopefully, I’ll make one of those games again.” Watching the interview after this king of a creator announced The Callisto Protocol, it makes me so hopeful that he can pull off something awesome again. That and the very engaging devs who build the Dead Space Remake from the ground up!
@@Anonymous-jj9yu yes have u seen the reveal trailer yet? As a dead space vet it looks incredible. Still ify on voice acting but can ad more dept to character! If they don't have isaac panic/scared breathing I'm not gonna like it!
Imagine having a detailed notebook going in-depth on how and where to dismember a person, and not be considered a psychopath. Game devs, man, the perfect cover for serial killers.
I've read somewhere that they had to look at pics of car crash victims to make realistic gore. I'm pretty sure that the dev team had at least one or two low key psychopaths among them haha
Capcom has confirmed that the dismemberment in Resident Evil 2 Remake was inspired by Dead Space, I miss Dead Space so goddamn much. By the way Dead Space is coming back!
I'll never forget a moment in Deadspace when I was in the vacuum of space - I thought I was safe - it was quiet because no noise in space - then I turned around and saw a necromorph pacing towards me - made me jump out of my skin. Then every time I was in the vacuum I felt exposed and vulnerable, constantly looking around me because I knew I wouldn't be able to hear them coming! - amazing sound design
That exact experience is what I had happen as well. I was so relaxed for some naive moment in the vacuum and turned around right in the knick of time before it was about to collide with me. I audibly yelled and jumped. Amazing how much loud scary sound terrifies you so much that it's almost scarier when you lose it for a second and hear nothingness. Probably what made the movie "A Quiet Place" so terrifying.
I had a pretty scary moment when I had cleared a room, was surfing through my inventory and then a necromporph respawned outside my field of view and hacked at me and impaled me from behind. I just froze in terror. The game broke serious rules. And I loved it for that.
@@bradtorville5526 Secound one was damn good. DS1 is a master of horror, DS2 better in action but maintained the amazing horror. DS3 had a good storyline but the execution of the horror and excessive action with EA adding microtransaction and forcing co-op to the players with a "pass" and other controversies madr the game bad.
@@-AceItX- I felt Dead Space 2 was a little too refined. I loved it as a game, but the original is the one I keep remembering and going back to. The first game felt almost janky compared to how polished DS2 was, but that's also what made the game so tense to play, because he's not a trained combatant, and it shows. in DS2 Isaac moves more fluidly, and while it helped the game's action, I felt it lost a lot of its horror aspects. You also encounter more survivors in the second game, so you don't feel as isolated until you return to the Ishimura.
the guy also is part of the studio that made cod aw and cod ww2 and brags about it in the video, and those are terrible games that are not by ea, so the guy in this video seems to just have gotten lucky once
@@jole5468 He did, but he was more so on the Zombies side of things, and the zombies and different types of enemies in that game mode are the most disturbing they've been.
13:02 "And I realized, y'know, that the problem wasn't the team. It was really on how I was giving them their assignments." This is the sign of a good boss. The ability to recognize a management mistake as a manager and attempt to fix it. Bravo dude.
I learnt this early on in the military. Being a Sergeant is not just about giving orders. It is about managing your squad and developing them so that they reach their full potential.
18:50 "...I've got quite a few stories, and I enjoyed making Dead Space so much that, uhhhh, y'know, hopefully someday I'll make one of those games again." And that, my friends, is what we in the business call foreshadowing.
13:02 "I realized the problem wasn't the team, it was really how I was giving their assignment." I'm sure at least 90% of the people in this comment section can point to a boss they've had that had no concept of this sentence
ikr. The only issue I've found is that the first door after the opening cutscene (in the room where you get the plasma cutter) doesn't let you go through it unless vsync is turned on. The game even works with my 1920x1200 monitor, and a lot of games released after Dead Space just kill themselves when I load them.
@@vizthex I found that disabling the game's Vsync and enabling NVIDIA/AMD Vsync and triple buffering makes the game work just fine. Add the mouse lag fix and it's pretty good. The only really annoying thing is when your sensitivity gets jacked up for whatever reason when you walk on corruption.
@@Cybershock180 sadly, no one from Visceral Games will be working on the remake. But everyone at Motive are fans of the series so they said they will honor the original. Plus, majority of Visceral are working on Calisto Protocol.
Dead space 1 and 2 gave me nightmares when I was in middle school, but I was also so drawn in by the world and it’s atmosphere and lore. Remains one of my favorite games ever made.
Every time I listen to really good in game sounds or music, I always wonder how they were made so well. Like hearing a tire screech on a road in perfect time with the the actual tire in the game. I dun get it.
Effective use of discord to evoke a deep sense of unease. Screeches, loud noises that make you mutter quietly under your breath "be quiet, stop making noise, they will hear you!" The only other games like this that have produced this feel in a game would be Alien Isolation (also excellent use of sound) and much further in the past System Shock (excellent environment for a game of its age).
@@zotirruges bro the only one that can beat EA is us the gamers and its pretty ironic gamers is also the ones that beats their games.its like the boss monster sends his goons to us to make us strong and trained for us to be able to kill them
@@drunkeneagleman51 unfortunately "the gamers" have done nothing about EA and other such companies that have followed the trend of releasing unfinished products to their consumers. The price of games rises, dlc, and need for "season pass" garbage... Yet people shell out the dollars and receive an unfinished buggy product.... Dang what have we allowed so far and some of the favorite dev companies have simply disappeared under the EA empire. But for an extra 19.99 maybe one day "gamers" will understand that to companies like EA we are just a pay check regardless of the quality and how many companies are crushed under their fist.
Back when someone could make a game how they wanted without worrying about micro transactions and actually make something work which shows in the final product. Still my favourite horror game for how unpredictable it can be
@@brizzle711 I was thinking in general but I'm sure if they thought of a way they would try it, because micro transactions are or seem to be the reason why some games are made these days. It's not about having fun anymore apparently
We need that design back. A solid experience. Everything can be earned by playing the game period. I really hate how RE2R music was missing the entire game. Just sound FX. Foot steps. Shuffling. And Mr X had one stomp sound. I thought the game was broken. Even after patching it. But no the music was non existent, until end level and boss. The original RE2 soundtrack was made dlc, not optional with purchase of the game. And lots of gear made inaccessible. And the game itself was limited and not fun to play. *Numerous bugs = ammo would disappear, some items would not even be in inventory. QTE were non responsive till after patch. But some interaction did not work still. And Save data (continue from last save would throw your play time set back 30 minutes to several hours / only option is to load a manual save, but apparently there is a save data bug 🤦♂️ I don't get it. How did it pass testing like this? Although the character and enemy designs were fantastic, everything was hard to see. Brightness wasn't fixed either. It just wasn't finished, and it's a shame.
@@brizzle711 Surely a single player game is just as tender and ripe for micro transactions? You'd only have one device to worry about seeing the mods or experiencing the changes.
I remember how completely blown away I was by this game. As a survival horror enthusiast I had played many games in my days but nothing like this. From the atmosphere, to the necromorphs, to the holographic layouts it was such a fresh experience. This will forever go down as one of the classics in gaming history. What a gem 💎
Wouldnt make sense because theres no value in a singleplayer game. Gaming communities all want one game and thats a fun online multiplayer with tons of microtransactions for loot. I would like another deadspace game especially with updated graphics but idk.. maybe well see one 2021
@@blackred1032 Go and tell that to Kojima, CDPR, 4A Games, Rocksteady, Bethesda, ... Singleplayer isn't dead, the market is still there. It's just not as loud as the multiplayer one.
@@blackred1032 actually most people are getting fed up with unfinished half baked products, bad multiplayer attempts and paywalls (anthem, fallout 76, Destiny and MANY more). The thing that makes single player games good is the depth. Immersion. Playing a game and feeling like you're a part of that world. Good singleplayers can do that. Multiplayers often just seem to revolve around "who's better". Social constructs is what keeps most people playing multiplayer; it's almost like hanging around with friends. The activity might be boring, but friends are not. Destiny in my opinion is absolute garbage. No depth, most of the story is hidden in lore; it's just lazy. Repetitive quests, no originality.. Oh and RDR2. Do you think that everyone who has that game plays multiplayer? Because they dont. EVERYONE played the story, only 10 to 15% play RDR2 online, and often not on a regular basis.
@@DutchDouchebag I prefer multiplayer games that have at least a competitive aspect to them. I enjoy the competition, that's what I enjoy about them. On the other hand, i don't enjoy single player games all too often. My enjoyment of a single player game comes from me being the main character in the story, not the story revolving around a pre developed main character. That's why I like single player games more akin to Skyrim, where you develop your character, rather than games like uncharted, where the character has a backstory. I might be in the minority with that, but it's just what I enjoy. Overall, multiplayer games like Halo, Titanfall, and for me Destiny's PvP (although it needs alot of work), are where I feel most at home. Just thought I'd give some thoughts from a person who mainly plays multiplayer games.
I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I honestly believe that the mid-late 2000s were the peak of video games and stories. So many big title games the last decade have been colossal let downs on almost ever release and never lived up to their hype and portrayals.
funny thing is they're delaying their games and when those games releases they're buggy and unfinished(i mean c'mon its obvious im talking about cyberpunk)
@@joshuakhaos4451 I don't think you're really a minority here but I do disagree with you. What's happened is that guys like these don't make up the bulk of AAA teams anymore. Sure there's still some of them but most of them are after maximizing profits, their careers, etc. A team that has even some of those people is going to get dragged down some. The major companies are also just about all completely creatively bankrupt. They lost their best creative leads along the way and now they just have bland corporate ones. I mean just look at Ubisoft. Then again, some newer game studios really break ahead of the pack some times. The difference is that you don't hear about them as much because they don't have the advertisement and popularity of the long standing powerhouses of gaming. AA studios and emerging AAA studios are where I think you'll see the best games. Some indie games are also fantastic.
It's one of those games that, after beating it a few times and going away from it for a few years, you come back and it's just as scary the next time you binge as it was the first time. It's art in video-game form!
Maximiliano Diaz Vasquez Just the fact that you are playing it even if it's already too late... Is still okay... You kinda have bragging rights for playing such a scary game right after
You know, other developers would have said: "Let's remove the tentacle moment so we don't have to deal with it" while this guys were like: "We have to re structure the way we work, we have to make a lot of new animations, develop a tracking IA and re make the combat system just for this one 30 seconds long moment...let's do it!". This says a lot about the talent that was in Visceral Games.
Their idea of a “HUD” for this game is definitely one of my favorite aspects of this game. I love the way it seemed apart of everything without being in the way.
Dude who made Deadspace: "I wanna make the scariest game." EA on DS3: "You know what's holding this series back? The scary stuff. Just make it an action game."
Well, if they wanted to make the scariest game they failed. It isn't even scary to begin with. It's still a very good action/survival horror game though.
Looking back at DS3 I have to admit there were moments where it got really scary too, not at the DS1 level of course but at least they tried :D and DS3, on it's own, was a pretty cool game. But they maybe shouldn't have called it Dead Space.
I think the coolest part of this interview is how it comes across that, he knew exactly what he wanted and how it was going to be, when he said "we had to cut two other things but I won't tell you what they are 'cause I don't care, the drag was cool" That's just really cool, to me.
They not only destroyed the franchise, they destroyed the company that created such a masterpiece. They ground down visceral from a horror sci-fi powerhouse to a studio that could barely keep it's profits up with a cops-and-robbers based Battlefield. EA needs to feel what they did to Visceral, Redwood Studios and all the other studios that were absorbed into it's greedy mass. They need to crumble
"I can't tell you what we cut, because I don't care. That drag tentacle was really cool" I love that so much. Such a fantastic attitude of a true creative designer.
@@sirisaacclarke4964 It probably made it into ds 2 or 3 honestly. Tough to say though. If it was left in some notebook on a safe it may still be sitting.
One thing I loved about the first game is that the combat music doesn't start until your camera sees the enemy. So something could be right behind you with normal background music, then you turn your camera around and its 3 feet away from you, and at that point in time you first see it, you hear the heart dropping intense start to combat music.
@@Crimsonlee2XX I've only played the first one and it had me checking my corners like a special forces team breeching an enemy compound. Constantly sweeping every inch of every space, shooting anything that moved.
Not many people know, but that scream you hear at 15:37 was the reaction of the lead engineer when Glen informed him that the tentacle scene had to be modeled along the entire corridor path.
Dead Space 1 is legit. That tentacle was legit. It may have taken 40 seconds of time to play though, but I was watching for those damn things for the entire rest of the game.
@@z1u512 I was outraged when it came back at the dock and had to incinerate it. You froze it and appears again without expecting that, I was like "YOU AGAIN!!??"
2008 was the last hurrah for EA. Their CEO had committed the company to the creation of new and innovative IP and they delivered in spades. Both Dead Space and Mirror's Edge were released that fall and both games were groundbreaking achievements in single player narratives, superb visuals, audio and gameplay. To this day they feel like games from the future. RIP Visceral.
@ThisIsMyRealName What? how do you know? This guy was the game director. It was his vision. The people under him (if they are truly talented) will get their moment too..Please, explain why you think he's taking credit.
I like 3 for its environment, and it's addition to the story. The love triangle felt forced and ridiculous, but Tau Volantis and the Ship Graveyard was amazing. I'm still impressed that they managed to make a space ship feel outdated to me, despite the fact that we don't even have those yet lol
@@jarodshaffer9969 True, but it still baffles me how SCAF suits have automatic helmets in DS3 but Isaac's CEC helmet is manual even though is like 100 years more modern than SCAF suits, lol.
If you ever wonder why games aren't like they used to be, take a good look at this man - he poured his heart and soul into these games, only to be burned by corporate douches who have probably never played a game in their life. We will be lucky if we get games close to these in the future. What's even more pathetic is EA is now announcing remakes for these, LOL. What an absolute joke
How did they wreck the original series? I see a bunch of comments about that, but I wasn’t gaming much back then so I’m out of the loop. Typical microtransactions type stuff? Or did they mess with the game development or story itself??
@@MisterK-YT Dead space 1 and 2 are great, 3 is when EA tried some stuff and visceral tried to get around it.. EA shut the studio down as a result most think, EA said its because they were shifting away from single player games. Either way EA deserves to crash and burn
Exactly…. The corporations like EA and Others don’t want innovation.. they just want profit. I just hope Sucker Punch stays true to themselves and doesn’t sell out like EA did.
This legit could have (and pretty much was) a Masterclass. Having people with knowledge, experience and most importantly PASSION, in lead roles is so important to the final product. It's also, unfortunately, so incredibly rare.
no room for creativity these days mate, reskin and sell at 2X price... thats how game comps roll now, no love for games just a lust for full bank accounts. He is a legend ye!
I afraid we ran out of this kind of creator nowadays and as far as i'm concerned is why there's so few good video games being made right now. Well, brace for the Second Crash everyone.
You can easily see he loved how the game came out and the love he just put into the story of the game. I remeber i was quite a kid around 12 and watching those extras pictures on dead space 1 menú was really fascinating. Seeing the concept art of areas in the game.. and the story felt so real and scary, expecially after launching extraction. I really loved and still love this game
Dead Space is one of my favorite games of all time. I love the atmosphere, the gameplay, it all works so well. I especially love the lack of a HUD. I was so blown away when I first played because it was so simple. Truly a 10/10 game and it's an experience I cannot wait to repeat
There will never be a game that will ever come close to the aesthetic of Dead Space. You can tell it truly came from a special place. A true stand out indeed.
This is why some of the greatest games still playable are old : sound design not only is key but also ages wel.l Great actor performance and music are timeless
Schofield's genuine, heartfelt passion for his work really shows in this interview, and of course especially in Dead Space. It's no wonder at all that the game still holds up so well today.
And that one damn elevator in ds2 when the necromorph jumps down. Only happened once but after which you always get in the corner and point a gun at the other.
It's funny that he said "I want to make Resident Evil in space", because I think the shortest way to describe Dead Space is Resident Evil in a Mass Effect setting. Especially the fact that he was so fascinated with Resident Evil 4, and that it is a go to comparison for gameplay for so many people shows that he it was a true passion project and the he managed to execute his vision in masterful fashion.

What a skilled and talented dev.. Completely wasted in the AAA profit driven industry. It's unfortunate how this happen s every time an industry starts to commoditize an art form.
@@j03man44 They always have but not nearly the profit driven machines that they are now. With each year and iteration attempting to overtake the last, either by doing more with less resources or microtransactions to increase profits. Games used to be seen as toys or just pieces of entertainment for a niche audience. Certainly you still get that now in indie titles but everyone is shooting to appeal to the mass/low common denominator. Some of the most important franchises today started in a market landscape where publishers were content with a moderate success and not making all the money in the world.
@@hesseltjeb Maybe I'm way out of line here and im sure time will tell but modern annual AAA products just seem entirely disposable to me. Maybe in 20 years there will be someone who says Call of Duty World War 2 was an incredible experience and changed my life. In fact you may not even be abnle to go back an experience these games in the future as servers close down etc. People will be playing dead space in 20 years.
this is why we need to support indie games more, without a AAA company calling the shots, indie devs can go beyond their limitations and make great works of art.
18:51 "i enjoyed making Dead Space so much that uh... ya know... hopefully someday i'll make one of those games again." Man, when publishers aren't giving people like this the opportunity and teams to make games when they would clearly be rockstars of the industry, what are they even doing?
Dumping millions into market research on how they can make the most money, IE cut content into little pieces of pie and deliver the first two pieces of pie for 60$ and then every other piece of pie for 10-40$ until you have the whole pie again. And then put a market in where they can buy cheap content that you can create in an hour, and sell for .99 to 10$ and make millions off lazy design.
Sadly they're making money. Talked to a friend about this today. It seems like the game industry is is almost like fast food industry. "What can we do to satisfy these little reward centers in a human's brain and keep them coming back for more" think McDonald's labs adding juuuusssst the right amount of fat and sugar. Except in games it's a Fortnite perk (I hate Fortnite). It seems like every game that is made today is souless shell around that model. I look at Anthem initially and I see a beautiful game. Then I see who is making it and it just makes me sick and not want to touch the damn thing. I'm not gonna be part of that model. Quality AAA Single player experiences in the not so distant future are gonna be few and far between. I hope that's not the case but it's looking more and more apparent.
Dead Space was one of those games that you just had to play from start to finish. I don’t normally finish horror games, but Dead Space was a huge treat from start to finish. Great game.
Sad how he went from Dead Space to COD, worked for EA and then Activision, just really unlucky in terms of publishers. He deserves to collaborate with a respectable publisher because he is very talented. (EDIT) It's great to hear that a lot of you feel the same way, I'm going to hook up the PS3 when I get home and play Dead Space again.
"Maybe one day I'll get to make one of those games again". That really hit it home. He's probably itching to make something as unique and technically challenging as Dead Space again, working with wonderful people who are up to the challenge as well. But he's stuck making the same game over, and over, and over again. At least it pays the bills I guess, but that's the voice and look of a man who wants to use his brain and creatively challenge himself. I hope that he's able to work with a team to make what he wants in the future.
That's when you pull a Gaben and leave a major publisher like Microsoft and create an LLC publishing your own games like Half Life and programs like Steam, without somebody breathing over your neck. Of course this costs money but, if you really want it, you'll find a way. Genius developers like this guy would benefit making his own LLC. He has the following and the credentials. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
One of my friends was a programmer on this game. He left the company we worked at together to go to EA. He was so proud of Dead Space when it came out he sent a bunch of us copies of it because he couldnt tell us what he was working on during dev. It made me extremely happy to see that he was being used to his full potential on a great game. Good video.
@Rhory Costelow Not all MMA fighters have such features. My Jiu-Jitsu master for example, is a 3 degree black belt with 15 years of MMA experience and his ears have very subtle visible damage, only if you pay attention you might notice small deformities. The same goes for the nose. But I get what @Mr. K says. He truly has some physical presence, much like an MMA fighter. You wonder why no one dared to confront him during the game development hahaha

I literally could not play this game at night, had to stop during the day and then do something else just to get the imaging of my mind, And I was not a kid at the time 😅
I love how they're never afraid to credit re4 and talk about its influence whenever talking about what made dead space. This guy and the team behind this game are legends.
They are, but this was par for the course when companies were actually in it for the game, not pushed/harassed by publishers and guided by the monetary gods in regards to content.
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames No, Companies are always in it for money and they always were. Microtransactions are a innovation for companies to monetise. You cant change too much too soon else people will notice that change. Like, when you put a frog in cold water, then turn the heat on he is going to boil to death without noticing it. If you throw him in hot water, he is going to jump out.
I stil remember playing Dead Space for the first time. I made sure I was home alone (because hearing your dad laugh about something from the living room is not exactly inflicting scary to the situation) and almost immediately, just as you take control, I was tense.

One thing Dead Space taught me that I’ve done in every game since I’ve played DS: if you walk in a room and there’s already a dead body there, SHOOT IT.
Megan Sparks facts😂😂😂💯💯💯
Immediately made me think of RE2 Remake lol
Or melee it to save ammo. If it stands up, then shoot it.
Stomp it, after the first 30 minutes in game i stomped anything that looke even remotely like a body, in all 3 dead space games....
OMG so true. Plus, when you enter a door go in aiming.
I still remember hearing the audio recording of a guy knowing he was going to die. He knew he'd die and become one of those thinks killing people. So, before he died, he used a cutter to blast off his own limbs and counted down each limb as he did it. Man, that stuck with me.
Makes it worse when you find a necromorph with only 1 arm, at the very least he made it easy to dispatch of him
I literally just experienced that part of the game today when playing the remake, it’s my first time playing it. I agree it was haunting and I have not experienced something so chilling
I like how he goes basically "ouch oof ow that hurt" when he blows his limbs off lmao, really sells how much pain he's in.

It's utterly heartbreaking to see this guy open his heart up and dissect every tiny detail about the love that went into this game, only to have EA shut it all down after they ruined 3.
It was a complete departure from the series, not scary at all. Reminded me of metal gear or other third person shooters at times.
Joseph Yang there were some scares, like when if you played as carter your surroundings were different from Isaacs in certain situations, but that required coop unfortunately
Actually the fans made it fail, and ruined them. It got 3's and 4's when it came, then it got 9's and 10's in 2016. Meta bombers are the worst.
@@OldNorthFoxx222 The fans made it fail, because the 3rd Game was going away to be an Horror Game. It was not just more action based, it was also the first Game EA used to try out "microtransaction" in a Full Price Game. If you really try to compare the 3rd with the first 2 Games, then you maybe see, that the 3rd tries to be a "different" Games.
The same happen btw with "F.E.A.R.". The 3rd Game was also more action based and the "Horror" parts are nearly none existend. I know that Fans can be "brutal" if it comes to there beloved series, but if it comes to try changing the Series overall, im totally understand the way of how a fan thinks.
We also seen this with Resident Evil. Even with good sells of RE6, Capcom did go back more to Horror again, because RE is Horror, not just "pew pew".
@Cryer24597 3 was reviewed unfairly in my opinion. I played it solo and co-op, and the optional sections with Carver's side missions were some of the best parts of the game. I agree the game got too "actiony" but it was still scary at certain points and I enjoyed the weapon customization. Shame on EA for adding microtransactions though. DS3 was a great game despite what reviews said.

Daaamn
His mentality towards making a game is admirable and should be how more game devs think.
Now most of them just think about how many lootboxes and battle passes they can fit in, while having the bare minimum content in the base game. Also how much of the game they can put in dlc.
@@cheesemuffin8129 and rather than releasing the full game the cut out chunks and sell them back claiming they are DLC when they are the actual content the game should have had in the first place.
@@gendygoblin8391 kind of like the new cold war. The game is great but theres only one zombies map until a DLC comes out. And only playstation have access to nuketown zombies
Don’t blame the dev’s blame the publisher........
@@770megaman yeah that’s a good point but the devs do also have a major role in the creation of a product, the publishers will just push it in another direction which can have an impact. It has been a pretty complicated system in the past and especially now so I see what you mean. Rather than just devs I think the whole team should have that mind set.
Having played through both the Callisto Protocol and Dead Space remake recently, it's crazy how these 2 games were directed by the same person. Callisto felt like an empty shell of a copy that doesn't understand the source material at all.
It had good graphics and decent atmosphere but also the worst combat system i have ever seen in a game which ruined all immersion and tension. The Dead Space remake wasn't even made by the same people yet they clearly understand what made the original Dead Space great and improved upon every single aspect.
It's a shame the person who originally came up with many of these ideas is so out of touch now.
In my opinion is the proof that a game isn't made just by one talented person or not even many talented people fullstop, but you have to have many talented people with great chemistry that are able to complement one another to make a great game
I would say game development isn't Hollywood: a studio leader can't put together the same team after the studio breaks up because everybody is not still living in Canoga Park and ready to go. It's disbursed enough and causes enough burn out that people have to move on and you can't get them back. So there's no pretending a director is an author.
I don't feel like its fair to equate the result of a game with the ability of one person. Games are built on the backs of teams, and studios, and publishers, and in amongst all those bodies, a lot of things can go wrong
Its easy to want to point the finger to one spot and have that have all the answers. But game development ain't easy. And so we gotta be considering the reasons for why one doesn’t turn out great isn't also
This guy seems like he was wanted by the mob so he changed his identity to a game dev....but he was actually really good at it and now he does it for a living.

Not gonna lie, hearing that Event Horizon was a source of inspiration brought a huge smile to my face. Both that movie and DeadSpace1&2 had incredible atmosphere and a continuous eerie sense of dread that never let up, even during the "quiet" moments. Dead Space was one of those series that really made me consider the "feel" of a game with cosmic horror and speculative fiction. I just love this game man.

The game even works with my 1920x1200 monitor, and a lot of games released after Dead Space just kill themselves when I load them.
@@vizthex I found that disabling the game's Vsync and enabling NVIDIA/AMD Vsync and triple buffering makes the game work just fine. Add the mouse lag fix and it's pretty good. The only really annoying thing is when your sensitivity gets jacked up for whatever reason when you walk on corruption.

being a sound engineer, dead space still gets me.
You live?
Wanna expand on that?
Every time I listen to really good in game sounds or music, I always wonder how they were made so well. Like hearing a tire screech on a road in perfect time with the the actual tire in the game. I dun get it.
Effective use of discord to evoke a deep sense of unease. Screeches, loud noises that make you mutter quietly under your breath "be quiet, stop making noise, they will hear you!" The only other games like this that have produced this feel in a game would be Alien Isolation (also excellent use of sound) and much further in the past System Shock (excellent environment for a game of its age).
I'm a sound designer, and I love Dead Space because of the sound. They did such a great job. Everything they did... just worked so well.

We need that design back. A solid experience. Everything can be earned by playing the game period.
I really hate how RE2R music was missing the entire game. Just sound FX. Foot steps. Shuffling. And Mr X had one stomp sound.
I thought the game was broken. Even after patching it. But no the music was non existent, until end level and boss.
The original RE2 soundtrack was made dlc, not optional with purchase of the game. And lots of gear made inaccessible. And the game itself was limited and not fun to play.
*Numerous bugs = ammo would disappear, some items would not even be in inventory. QTE were non responsive till after patch. But some interaction did not work still. And Save data (continue from last save would throw your play time set back 30 minutes to several hours / only option is to load a manual save, but apparently there is a save data bug 🤦♂️ I don't get it.

Destiny in my opinion is absolute garbage. No depth, most of the story is hidden in lore; it's just lazy.
Repetitive quests, no originality..
Oh and RDR2.
Do you think that everyone who has that game plays multiplayer?
Because they dont.
EVERYONE played the story, only 10 to 15% play RDR2 online, and often not on a regular basis.
@@DutchDouchebag I prefer multiplayer games that have at least a competitive aspect to them. I enjoy the competition, that's what I enjoy about them. On the other hand, i don't enjoy single player games all too often. My enjoyment of a single player game comes from me being the main character in the story, not the story revolving around a pre developed main character. That's why I like single player games more akin to Skyrim, where you develop your character, rather than games like uncharted, where the character has a backstory. I might be in the minority with that, but it's just what I enjoy. Overall, multiplayer games like Halo, Titanfall, and for me Destiny's PvP (although it needs alot of work), are where I feel most at home. Just thought I'd give some thoughts from a person who mainly plays multiplayer games.
"I set out to make the scariest game of all time." In my opinion, they succeeded.
Everytime someone asks me what really got under my skin, I still mention this game
Yeah this game freaked me out so much. One of the best games imo
Have you ever played *Outlast*
@@hiteshbehera5229 Outlast is quite scary but it didnt scare me like Dead Space
Resident Evil Remake is the one that does it for me. Much scarier.
"We shipped the game two weeks early"
That's something you never hear in today's game industry.
I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I honestly believe that the mid-late 2000s were the peak of video games and stories. So many big title games the last decade have been colossal let downs on almost ever release and never lived up to their hype and portrayals.
funny thing is they're delaying their games and when those games releases they're buggy and unfinished(i mean c'mon its obvious im talking about cyberpunk)
@@joshuakhaos4451 I don't think you're really a minority here but I do disagree with you. What's happened is that guys like these don't make up the bulk of AAA teams anymore. Sure there's still some of them but most of them are after maximizing profits, their careers, etc. A team that has even some of those people is going to get dragged down some.
The major companies are also just about all completely creatively bankrupt. They lost their best creative leads along the way and now they just have bland corporate ones. I mean just look at Ubisoft. Then again, some newer game studios really break ahead of the pack some times. The difference is that you don't hear about them as much because they don't have the advertisement and popularity of the long standing powerhouses of gaming. AA studios and emerging AAA studios are where I think you'll see the best games. Some indie games are also fantastic.

It’s a god damn classic. Nothing’s captured how scary playing that game was since.
It's one of those games that, after beating it a few times and going away from it for a few years, you come back and it's just as scary the next time you binge as it was the first time. It's art in video-game form!

Just the fact that you are playing it even if it's already too late... Is still okay... You kinda have bragging rights for playing such a scary game right after

I was just thinking the same, this guy is a really good storyteller.

@@dnd6075 potato potAto
You know, other developers would have said: "Let's remove the tentacle moment so we don't have to deal with it" while this guys were like: "We have to re structure the way we work, we have to make a lot of new animations, develop a tracking IA and re make the combat system just for this one 30 seconds long moment...let's do it!". This says a lot about the talent that was in Visceral Games.
So happy to see the trailer for Calisto, this man knows how to make a horror game and I know this next project will be amazing.
Their idea of a “HUD” for this game is definitely one of my favorite aspects of this game. I love the way it seemed apart of everything without being in the way.

If you miss it so much, go play it ma dude.....
the games you talk about still exist you just gotta look a little harder to find them
Dude who made Deadspace: "I wanna make the scariest game."
EA on DS3: "You know what's holding this series back? The scary stuff. Just make it an action game."
Well, if they wanted to make the scariest game they failed. It isn't even scary to begin with. It's still a very good action/survival horror game though.
@omiskpr Dude, Dead Space is a "modern" jump scare only game lol
Looking back at DS3 I have to admit there were moments where it got really scary too, not at the DS1 level of course but at least they tried :D and DS3, on it's own, was a pretty cool game. But they maybe shouldn't have called it Dead Space.
@Iridescent Silhouette You should probably see a psychiatrist
@Iridescent Silhouette Who even said that? LOL
I think the coolest part of this interview is how it comes across that, he knew exactly what he wanted and how it was going to be, when he said "we had to cut two other things but I won't tell you what they are 'cause I don't care, the drag was cool"
That's just really cool, to me.
Dead Space is my fav series. I will always resent EA games for destroying such a good franchise.
Dead Space was the Resident Evil 4 I'd always wanted, those silly parasites were nothing compared to nercomorphs
They didn't destroy it, they simply abandoned it.
@@trashaimgamer7822 Dead Space 3 was an absolute insult to the franchise. They did destroy it.
They not only destroyed the franchise, they destroyed the company that created such a masterpiece. They ground down visceral from a horror sci-fi powerhouse to a studio that could barely keep it's profits up with a cops-and-robbers based Battlefield. EA needs to feel what they did to Visceral, Redwood Studios and all the other studios that were absorbed into it's greedy mass. They need to crumble
@@trashaimgamer7822 Yes they did. EA is working very simple - search, find and destroy.
"I can't tell you what we cut, because I don't care. That drag tentacle was really cool"
I love that so much. Such a fantastic attitude of a true creative designer.
ikr. I still wanna know what was cut though lol.

He is pretty jacked for a nerd.
"Hopefully some day I'll make one of those games again" this man already had Callisto Protocol in the making
One thing I loved about the first game is that the combat music doesn't start until your camera sees the enemy. So something could be right behind you with normal background music, then you turn your camera around and its 3 feet away from you, and at that point in time you first see it, you hear the heart dropping intense start to combat music.
The first game had me paranoid as hell looking behind myself every few seconds.
@@Crimsonlee2XX I've only played the first one and it had me checking my corners like a special forces team breeching an enemy compound. Constantly sweeping every inch of every space, shooting anything that moved.
It's really smart how there's the contrast between the quiet tension building moments and the really loud adrenaline filled moments.
That didn't happen to me. I used the music top let me know that an enemy was there
Just bought the game. What you just said would be cool, but sadly scary combat music plays even when I don't see enemy, so I am already prepared. :(
Not many people know, but that scream you hear at 15:37 was the reaction of the lead engineer when Glen informed him that the tentacle scene had to be modeled along the entire corridor path.
That sounds devastating.
I actually rolled back to this specific time stamp.
Haha
Speaking of screams. Looks like Wilhelm scream made it into this game as well lol. 9:08
He needs to colab with that Klay dude from Gears of War.
I could listen to this guy talk about video games for hours and hours.
Same here, he clearly loves his work and it makes such an easy listen :D

it’s almost like hearing a dad talking about a son he lost in a car accident caused by someone else(EA)
Brilliant comment sir
True
I'm just starting with Dead Space 1, in a nutshell, what happened with EA?
@@estebandelafp EA did what EA does..turn it into a cash cow and milked it dry
*And his dad is waiting for revenge on his side, as he makes gory art.*
That tentacle gave me a heart attack, I thought it was a cut scene

I thought this was some kind of hentai tentacle fetish
I thought that scene was gonna have Isaac getting milked by that tentacle
LOL same I definitely died the first time because I was too busy being terrified instead of shooting
Billy Kotsos before it slid right up into you
Dead Space 1 is legit. That tentacle was legit. It may have taken 40 seconds of time to play though, but I was watching for those damn things for the entire rest of the game.
That and the Hunter, to this day I dread that encounter
@@XbninjaXIV when i encountered the hunter: jeez science guy this your 'ultimate creature' that was pretty e.... wait is he..is he not dead?
Technically then the moment didn't last 40 seconds but lasted throughout the rest of the game
@@MrBillyBlade Encounter would probably be a better word.
@@z1u512 I was outraged when it came back at the dock and had to incinerate it. You froze it and appears again without expecting that, I was like "YOU AGAIN!!??"
This is an incredible game. Still ranks as one of the best of all time. The crafting details Glen and co injected in to Dead Space set it apart.
2008 was the last hurrah for EA. Their CEO had committed the company to the creation of new and innovative IP and they delivered in spades. Both Dead Space and Mirror's Edge were released that fall and both games were groundbreaking achievements in single player narratives, superb visuals, audio and gameplay. To this day they feel like games from the future. RIP Visceral.
Well the first Dragon Age and Mass effect 2 in 2010 was also still great but i guess that was more on Bioware than EA
EA needs Larry Probstt as their CEO again. Too many clowns running the company that dont care about their customers.
F
And now EA is like cancer
@ThisIsMyRealName What? how do you know? This guy was the game director. It was his vision. The people under him (if they are truly talented) will get their moment too..Please, explain why you think he's taking credit.
Dead Space 1 & 2 were excellent.
So was 3. People hate that game for really stupid reasons that could be easily applied to the other two games.
@@trashaimgamer7822 1&2 are simply such amazing games it made 3 look kinda bad.
3 is still good and as you say gets alot of undeserved hate.
I like 3 for its environment, and it's addition to the story. The love triangle felt forced and ridiculous, but Tau Volantis and the Ship Graveyard was amazing. I'm still impressed that they managed to make a space ship feel outdated to me, despite the fact that we don't even have those yet lol
@@jarodshaffer9969 True, but it still baffles me how SCAF suits have automatic helmets in DS3 but Isaac's CEC helmet is manual even though is like 100 years more modern than SCAF suits, lol.
Yes. DS3 was ok, less scary but I'll admit it was fun co-op with a buddy.
If you ever wonder why games aren't like they used to be, take a good look at this man - he poured his heart and soul into these games, only to be burned by corporate douches who have probably never played a game in their life. We will be lucky if we get games close to these in the future. What's even more pathetic is EA is now announcing remakes for these, LOL. What an absolute joke
How did they wreck the original series? I see a bunch of comments about that, but I wasn’t gaming much back then so I’m out of the loop. Typical microtransactions type stuff? Or did they mess with the game development or story itself??
@@MisterK-YT Dead space 1 and 2 are great, 3 is when EA tried some stuff and visceral tried to get around it.. EA shut the studio down as a result most think, EA said its because they were shifting away from single player games. Either way EA deserves to crash and burn

Exactly…. The corporations like EA and Others don’t want innovation.. they just want profit. I just hope Sucker Punch stays true to themselves and doesn’t sell out like EA did.
@@MisterK-YT No. They are all awesome.

Absolutely, passion like this makes truly awesome games. Hugo at Id talks about doom eternal like this, and i am really hopeful for that game as well.
You can easily see he loved how the game came out and the love he just put into the story of the game.
I remeber i was quite a kid around 12 and watching those extras pictures on dead space 1 menú was really fascinating.

There will never be a game that will ever come close to the aesthetic of Dead Space. You can tell it truly came from a special place. A true stand out indeed.

Schofield's genuine, heartfelt passion for his work really shows in this interview, and of course especially in Dead Space. It's no wonder at all that the game still holds up so well today.

Back when game devs were actually trying to be innovative and not putting half the game's content behind a DLC Wall
God of War, Witcher 3 etc..they are still out there, just few and far between.
It’s not the devs it’s the publishers like EA and Activision
Or adding characters that don't belong, just to please a group that doesn't even play the game....

I think skilled game designers, artists and developers aren’t wasted in the AAA scene at all. The resources the AAA industry offers are invaluable.
@@j03man44 They always have but not nearly the profit driven machines that they are now. With each year and iteration attempting to overtake the last, either by doing more with less resources or microtransactions to increase profits. Games used to be seen as toys or just pieces of entertainment for a niche audience. Certainly you still get that now in indie titles but everyone is shooting to appeal to the mass/low common denominator. Some of the most important franchises today started in a market landscape where publishers were content with a moderate success and not making all the money in the world.
@@hesseltjeb Maybe I'm way out of line here and im sure time will tell but modern annual AAA products just seem entirely disposable to me.

this make me feel a little dead inside, the greed of companies crushing spirits....
EA is money hungry, not quality hungry.
Dumping millions into market research on how they can make the most money, IE cut content into little pieces of pie and deliver the first two pieces of pie for 60$ and then every other piece of pie for 10-40$ until you have the whole pie again. And then put a market in where they can buy cheap content that you can create in an hour, and sell for .99 to 10$ and make millions off lazy design.
Sadly they're making money. Talked to a friend about this today. It seems like the game industry is is almost like fast food industry. "What can we do to satisfy these little reward centers in a human's brain and keep them coming back for more" think McDonald's labs adding juuuusssst the right amount of fat and sugar. Except in games it's a Fortnite perk (I hate Fortnite).
It seems like every game that is made today is souless shell around that model. I look at Anthem initially and I see a beautiful game. Then I see who is making it and it just makes me sick and not want to touch the damn thing. I'm not gonna be part of that model.
Quality AAA Single player experiences in the not so distant future are gonna be few and far between. I hope that's not the case but it's looking more and more apparent.
