The death of this franchise and essentially the studio, Visceral, is one of the biggest crimes in gaming history. THANKS EA! said no one ever Now Visceral works on Battlefield map packs. Its tragic.
Yeah, thanks EAssholes ! Konami killed Silhent Hill. Capcom killed Resident Evil, then resurrected it ( and might kill it again if they keep putting too much action like in RE8 and RE3R ). Maybe one day Ea will resurrect Dead Space... like they did with Dungeon Keeper and Command and Conquer, T_T
@@Texelion3Dprints the original re3 was just as action oriented as the remake. It's basically a repeat of 1999 conversation wise. I think it shouldn't go any more above that level of action though re2 is the perfect balance. Haven't played 8 yet.
Most games aren’t sci-fi horror, so what notes are they going to take? Lol. I wonder if these elements can be incorporated into the next Mario I play. Dead Space:Mario Party.
Played through it for the first time a week or so ago and its honestly a bit overrated. Slashers are heavily overused. Chapters 2-9 are devoid of anything happening plot wise and you're mostly just an errand boy until the end. The second return to the medical deck is notably entirely pointless as the poison you make doesn't even work. The Necromorph vent AI is a bit janky and it often ends up spawning a conga line out of a single vent rather than multiple from different vents. Spawning out of vents is over relied upon in general. The two bosses were pretty basic without much effort put in to give them interesting attack patterns, they just spam the same attack over and over. For the story the main 'twist' was way too obvious. Some plot points are pretty poorly explained, such as why the marker wanted to be returned to the colony or how the Valor got singlehandedly annihilated by a naked slasher. From a visual and art design perspective it is fantastic, however most of the effort seemed to have gone into the medical, engineering and flight decks. As you go further into the game they become a bit more generic.
I remember playing Dead Space and getting the platinum trophy when I was in a deeply depressed point in my life with both parents dead and it honestly was thereapeutic for me to play. I could only handle one chapter a night and it felt like facing some of my own demons as I slugged through the game on the hardest difficulty. I really felt like I could relate to Issac and I wanted to see him through to the end. Horror games like Dead Space and Silent Hill are underrated tools for combating depression for some individuals like me.
I’m glad Dead Space was there for you. I know what it’s like to have a game be there for you, and, strangely, for you to be there for your video game character.
I know right?! There’s just something so inspiring seeing all of the fucking horseshit that Isaac trudges through and still have the determination to keep going! Hope you’re doing better now than before!!!
I'm really looking forward to "The Callisto Protocol" a lot of the key people from Visceral are developing that one. Shame EA just holds such great licenses and just sits on them.

My childhood right here. Dead space 3 I’ve still yet to finish. Them attempting to cater to another audience lost the ones who originally loved it for what it was
@@Jason_P I just tried for the third time two weeks ago. It’s on ps now. Still doesn’t pull me in. Dead space 2 was one of my favorite games of all time
@@em1ownerify If I remember correctly, the only thing I liked about DS2 was the continuation of the story. I thought it was a little too much of a shooter and DS1 was not like that. I did not like the weapons or combat and there was not the same atmosphere of fear and dread. I DEFINITELY did not like the monster that re-formed every time you "killed" it and before you knew it you were out of ammo with no way to damage it. I will say the return to the Ishimura was a nice touch.
I remember my first time playing through Dead Space. The jumpscares and that eerie-feeling was what got me to be scared of every turn and hallway. It took me about close to an entire year to finish it, mainly because I couldn't get past the Engineering Room. Then until I finally got past that and down onto the planet, I was so happy and then, relieved that I had finished the game. After that, I replayed the game so many times after that, that I got used to where the enemies came from and where to go that I started to explore the levels more freely than when I had previously been afraid of exploring. I haven't played Dead Space in a couple years now, but I'm going to play it again. Hopefully I haven't lost my sense of direction playing the game again.
What got me on edge was the incredible sound design. The silence, broken by necromorph noises, distant recordings, whispers, survivor screams... It's so good.
That’s because 3rd person is garbage and feels more like a game instead of more real like first person makes it feel. The Nintendo Wii did a first person version of deadspace and was AWESOME!
@@RJ-cc1fz That is very subjective. I love both first person and third when they're done right, and in both cases I feel completely immersed. For instance, I love seeing my character in 3rd person in games like Star Wars Battlefront or GTA, not only does it not brake the immersion at all, but on the contrary - it enhances it. So both have their place and qualities.
You missed one of the coolest parts of the game. The suit aesthetically looks awesome. I always loved increasing my health and seeing the actual blue bar go up on the suit. Also going into those suit upgrade pods you really come out feeling awesome.
DS 1, 2 and 3 was my whole life back in highschool, of course there were other games, but this series was always the one I kept coming back to every few months...
At the time, third person shooters didn’t really have a camera behind the shoulder like we do for most TPS nowadays. It was Gears of War, Resident 4, and Dead Space that made that angle THEE de facto camera angle.
"Isaac's suit is heavy and his ass: Fat." My God, this made my day! Gotta love Dead Space! Hopefully you cover the second game. I'm stoked for The Callisto Protocol!
DS3 jumped the shark so hard with the Necromorph moons that I don’t see a sequels being good at all. Maybe a reboot could save the franchise, but not a sequel. DS3 poisoned the well
@@oliviawilliams6204 with some creativity they can still continue from that, and who says we need Isaac we can always use a new protagonist, just like the intro to dead space 3 I kind of liked that guy in the beginning too bad they didn't use him could have been good.
@@oliviawilliams6204 i actually really liked the idea of brethren moons and how hopeless the situation humanity has found themselves in. it could totally work but i dont see there being a happy ending
Get use to it pal because hate to tell you this but not everybody can afford every game console just one game and IMO it's good thing that remasters exist cause it's for people who haven't got the chance to play some of these games since last gen and video games takes time to make so giving them a HD collections of the games to get new comers insurance in the series after finish making the sequel is pretty smart move IMO
Isaac is the ultimate badass ever in video games. A simple man surviving a absolute nightmare that the human mind could not possibly handle. But yet he survives and moves on to the next encounter.
One is a masterpiece, two is still really good but borders a bit too much on being too action heavy and three was honestly garbage imo. 3 could have been a nice coop game like RE5, but it doesn't even come close.
I recently played Dead Space for the first time and I almost dreaded starting the game up everytime. I felt on edge the entire journey, especially when there were Necromorphs attacking me and I had to reload my weapon. I already knew the game a bit, and the only part I truly knew was the parts with the Hunter that regenerates. One of the best experiences was the moment when it jumps you, you have to run away and move crates with Kinesis at the same time. I have probably never felt more panic in a game (other than maybe Frictional Game's SOMA). Dead Space is so well done and although I found a lot of bugs and parts where the game shows its age, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I start my Mondays with Doom Eternal, on Tuesday I play Dead Space, on Wednesdays I play Outlast, on Thursdays Alien Isolation, on Fridays I play Wolfenstein, in the weekend I play all of them :D
I have read the there is a studio working on a new dead space but they are yet to confirm it. But as for a remastered that would be amazing but I don't think it will happen just because the original is so good. Edit : well then i was wrong. The remastered is coming and i cant wait
This series and mass effect series.. evergreen masterpieces, till now no game has replicated the experience provided by them. ( DS3 wasn't on par as 1 and 2 still a good game )
I actually recently got the Marker tattooed on my upper back up to my neck. Looks beautiful. Honestly Dead Space changed my entire outlook on gaming. Fucking love it. Unity is Forever.
Many years later... it's still installed on my computer. One of my favourite survival horror. When I played it the first time my family was away on vacation so all the fear, scream and shouting I did it alone... it was awesome.
The graphics of dead space are amazing back a year ago when I play it for the first time I never knew how old it was due to everything just looks so good even for today's standards I can't think of one moment where it looks bad
To me Dead space 1 was an absolute shining gem, while dead space 2 polished itself into a piece of nigh perfection. Dead space 3 was devolved into a piece of coal. Expecting a sequel video
Really good video! I just finished playing Dead Space for the first time, first watching my husband play over 10 years ago like it was a tv show. I agree, it was ahead of it’s time. Now I’m struggling through the Ishimura again in Dead Space 2. It’s more action oriented and not as terrifying, but for some reason, the lack and bursts of monsters is dreadful.
I played this game from start to finish 8 times, more than any other game. The only reason why I wouldn't play it again is because the entire experience has been etched into my mind so hard, I wish I could forget it.
One of my favorite games of all time. An absolute masterpiece of beautiful graphics, tense atmosphere, perfect sound design, and super sharp gameplay. This game and it's sequel are the bar by which all other action/horror games are judged for me. Great video!
One thing about sound design you forgot that I thought was magnificent is Isaac's breathing when he's in an area of vacuum. The dead silence of the vacuum of space while Isaac breathes is profound, especially when monsters appear and all you can really hear is Isaac's frantic breaths as he tries to make it to a sealed room or find some air.
I lived and breathed Dead Space as a 12 year old kid when this came out. I had the Game Informer magazine, I read the novel, the comics, I saw the movies, and even played the ARG website lead-up narrative story game called "No Known Survivors" where every day a new body part floating in space would become clickable and there would be a short interactive puzzle sequence where you played as various crew members in their last moments aboard the Ishimura. Isaac's suit is still my Google profile avatar and it used to be my TH-cam banner. I was beyond devastated when Visceral games was shut down but I still hold onto hope of a remake one day.
I love this game! It has a great story, and the tension is heavy and interesting. Dead Space 2 is still great and I would love to see and play a remake of these two games. The first game was like R.E. & ALIEN inside of Event Horizon.
I replayed it as well on my PS3 recently and it still holds up. I love the atmosphere and monster designs, as well as the weapon and armor designs. I was originally going to play it for a little while but I found myself completely immersed on its gameplay. So much so that I just couldn't put it down. I was always thinking about what to upgrade next and experimenting with the different weapons (The Ripper is my favourite), all while managing resources and remembering where I left some ammo and medkits to come back later and pick them up. I love how they managed to tie the UI within the game itself. Now I'm preparing myself to do a "impossible mode" run. I would love to see a similar vid about Dead Space 2 in the future! Great analysis 👍🏻
The sound design is masterfully done. The hall at 7:20 no monsters, no threat but a train going through made me run from that hall because of how scary it is.
I replayed Dead Space a year or so ago and I was SHOCKED by how good it is. Certainly its presentation is amazing for a 2007 title, considering how fucking awful Mass Effect 1 runs
Absolute masterpiece of a game as it holds a special place in my heart shame EA couldn't continue the franchise as the ending in Awakening left a cliffhanger and there was more yet to be desired
Greatest sci fi horror game ever made. Hands down. When EA cancelled the franchise I knew gaming was pretty much over as an industry. Seems my hunch was right.
I loved all the tactile immersion. I used it to navigate through the game, watching shadows listening to all the sounds, learning enemy movements and behavior. I love the ripper! Secondary fire is so useful
I loved 1, 2 was amazing, 3 was ok but I still liked it. Too bad that's where it ended. But there is that one new game coming out that is like dead space, hope it's good
When it comes to combat, what I love about the first game (and something that the series progressively got worse at) was that enemy movement was generally slow and their numbers were rarely significant. They used the strength and high damage of the individual enemies to maintain tension and challenge without sacrificing the unique dismemberment aspect. DS2 started to introduce more enemies that didn't really allow for dismemberment, often introducing weaker enemies in larger numbers instead, and it made fighting them much less dynamic; DS3 took that even further. DS2 did introduce that one enemy that I think we can all agree brought back that sense of tension, but they showed up far too rarely.
"Still a Masterpiece?" YES, of course!!! Dead space is a staple of the gaming industries Horror genre, I consider it a MUST play for any gaming enthusiasts or any fan of any Horror film/ series or just piece of media. It's always going be an experience that will stick with me forever, in the back of my mind, Crawling around through the vents, whispering, begging to be Made Whole!!! But for real it's unfortunate what EA did to Visceral Games, the original Dead Space truly showed the patential that the I.P really has. Just cross your fingers and hope for Dead Space 4. 🤞👽👍
I've beaten this game so many times that the plasma cutter is my go to weapon and Impossible is freaking easy to me now. Hey, I'm not trying to sound like I'm some ultimate gamer, I just love this game so much I played it too much!!
@@SqueezyBoy Sure thing. Upgrade the Plasma Cutter as soon as possible and use that as your main weapon. A fully upgraded Plasma Cutter is godlike. I aim for the legs horizontally. They fly to the ground, then shoot an arm off and you're good. Choose a secondary weapon, I recommend the Force Gun as its primary fire is great at pushing back a necromorph herd if they mob you and get too close. Upgrade your HP and Stasis duration when you can, but always keep at least one Power Node on you at all times to unlock the Node Doors, most of them are worth it for the extra cash and ammo. Upgrade your suit as soon as possible. Just stick to two weapons max so you can always have credits for ammo, health, or upgrading your suit(more inventory and defense). Juke those necromorphs! They are relentless, but they aren't too intelligent. Remember, you don't have to fight every encounter. Example:asteroid room. Hardest encounter IMO is at the end of the game when you're moving the marker and the doors lockdown. Stay in the corner closest to the door and pick em off as the drop in. Here's a little tip: Move the marker at the end of the game with your kinesis and push it as far as you can down the rail at the last door outside without exiting. Keep grabbing it with kinesis and then blasting it a bit farther. You can get it almost all the way to the end. When you can't push it any further, run out and grab with your kinesis and push it the rest of the small distance and BAM all the necro morphs and tentacles are obliterated and you just avoided a troublesome encounter. Most of all, just have fun! You can totally beat it on Impossible, it's really not that difficult, just try to keep your space from the necros.
Hot take the Plasma cutters alternate firing mode is it's real primary firing mode, because it's the most commonly used unless angles mean it's better at cutting and hitting limbs if it's vertical.
Right after this game was released I saw a short making-of video, and it was the very first time I ever heard the term "vertical slice" to describe when a developer needs to come up with a functional and relatively fleshed out, playable concept segment of a game which they then use to pitch the idea to the higher ups before getting the green light to make the game
Agree. It looks pretty damn decent still as well. It´s one of the game series I point to when arguing that games have really looked good enough for some time now, and that devs should focus on making games actually good, instead of 0.0001% more photorealistic It´s mostly when dynamic lightning effects became commonplace, that games started, in my opinion to look good. F.E.A.R for example. It´s 16 years old, but still looks decent. Mostly because of the light effects.
One of my favorite pieces of in-game immersion was the flamethrower. While it was excellent for dealing with those little crawling enemies, you are still using a flamethrower in space. And if you were in a vacuum, the flamethrower would fail to work, just as it should. Those small details help sell the experience, and is why it is still one of my favorite titles.
It really brought back the survival horror games because at the time Resident Evil was going more action base. Dead Space is one of my favorite games because it was actually scary. I walked gun at the ready throughout the game.
Excellent video and analysis. My only comment is that I think you might have missed a crucial aspect of the laser cutter. The ability to rotate the the axis from horizontal to vertical isn't strictly about damage, but about the ease of cutting off arms. Horizontal shots were best for cutting legs, vertical shots were best for cutting off arms.
Dead Space will always be my all time favorite horror game. Till this day, every Halloween night, I boot up Dead Space 1 and play it in the dark with some headphones on to truly get the full visual and audible experience.
Great video. Very much enjoyed hearing your thoughts and am always excited to watch another dead space video. If you are looking to experience the game again for the first time have a kid and when they are old enough let them play it.. probably as close as you can get. One small quibble about the video "the whole game.." is not literally on the Ishimura.
The outstanding sound design is still absolutely unmatched...I have so much respect for Glen Schofield, because that's the 1. Priority they aimed for in Deadspace but Callisto Protocol as well. When you hear something and don't know what it is? Your imagination becomes a terrifying tool, like no scary jumpscare or enemy can achieve!

also space felt.... realistic and horrible at the same time in this first game, unlike any film at that time.. Gravity perhaps comes closest of films.
DS 1, 2 and 3 was my whole life back in highschool, of course there were other games, but this series was always the one I kept coming back to every few months...
After the dlc ending of Dead Space 3 the series left us with a climatic cliffhanger of planetary proportions.
Curious Fact: Dead Space was supposed to be the next System Shock game, but when the Developers played Resident Evil 4 they completely changed it.
Someone watched the MandaloreGaming review I see :)
At the time, third person shooters didn’t really have a camera behind the shoulder like we do for most TPS nowadays. It was Gears of War, Resident 4, and Dead Space that made that angle THEE de facto camera angle.
Here's hoping Callisto Protocol fills that Dead Space sized void in my heart.
Just recalling Dead Space’s sounds alone was enough to make my stomach queasy.
Great vid, thanks man👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Lord Commander Tonald once again blesses us with another video.
"Isaac's suit is heavy and his ass: Fat."
My God, this made my day! Gotta love Dead Space! Hopefully you cover the second game. I'm stoked for The Callisto Protocol!
*THICC ISAAC* is real!
I always thought Isaac looks kind of chubby in Dead Space 1, and then in 2 and 3 he looks more lean, maybe necromorphs forced him to be fit xD
we dont need a remastered dead space its already perfect and the graphics still hold up we need DS4!
Yes I'm tired of remasters they should rather focus on continuation of these great titles
DS3 jumped the shark so hard with the Necromorph moons that I don’t see a sequels being good at all. Maybe a reboot could save the franchise, but not a sequel. DS3 poisoned the well
@@oliviawilliams6204 with some creativity they can still continue from that, and who says we need Isaac we can always use a new protagonist, just like the intro to dead space 3 I kind of liked that guy in the beginning too bad they didn't use him could have been good.
@@oliviawilliams6204 i actually really liked the idea of brethren moons and how hopeless the situation humanity has found themselves in. it could totally work but i dont see there being a happy ending
Get use to it pal because hate to tell you this but not everybody can afford every game console just one game and IMO it's good thing that remasters exist cause it's for people who haven't got the chance to play some of these games since last gen and video games takes time to make so giving them a HD collections of the games to get new comers insurance in the series after finish making the sequel is pretty smart move IMO
Isaac is the ultimate badass ever in video games. A simple man surviving a absolute nightmare that the human mind could not possibly handle. But yet he survives and moves on to the next encounter.
Here to say yes it is.
And yes please, do a Dead Space 2 one.
Callisto Protocol anyone?
i need to see more of Callisto Protocol but im interested.
@@RedEyedWolfTV
Made by the same man who gave birth to Dead Space. The only thing that could go wrong is in the choice of publisher.
Dead Space: 9/10
Dead Space 2: 9/10
Dead Space 3: 8.5/10
The entire saga is a masterpiece.
Good but i would give Dead Space 1 a 10/10
I think Dead Space 3 is more of a 6 or 7/10 for me.
@@darthcinema4262
I'd give it a 5. I'll never ever play it again. 1 and 2 are timeless though.
DS1 is an 11/10
One is a masterpiece, two is still really good but borders a bit too much on being too action heavy and three was honestly garbage imo.
3 could have been a nice coop game like RE5, but it doesn't even come close.
I recently played Dead Space for the first time and I almost dreaded starting the game up everytime.
I felt on edge the entire journey, especially when there were Necromorphs attacking me and I had to reload my weapon.
I already knew the game a bit, and the only part I truly knew was the parts with the Hunter that regenerates. One of the best experiences was the moment when it jumps you, you have to run away and move crates with Kinesis at the same time.
I have probably never felt more panic in a game (other than maybe Frictional Game's SOMA).
Dead Space is so well done and although I found a lot of bugs and parts where the game shows its age, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dead Space ist one of the best games I've played so far, and I've played MANY!
Word
I start my Mondays with Doom Eternal, on Tuesday I play Dead Space, on Wednesdays I play Outlast, on Thursdays Alien Isolation, on Fridays I play Wolfenstein, in the weekend I play all of them :D
Pfp checks out
Wish i could relive the time it was released again. Masterpiece.
I had never heard of this game until about a year ago When it was recommended to me. Have to say one of the best games I have ever played.
Just finished a Dead Space marathon and I love the challenges and action of all three.
12:41 "There's a weapon that works best for each type of enemy"
Isaac: Yes, the Plasma Cutter
Imagine this remastered in the Frost engine that Resident Evil uses now!!!!
I have read the there is a studio working on a new dead space but they are yet to confirm it. But as for a remastered that would be amazing but I don't think it will happen just because the original is so good.
Edit : well then i was wrong. The remastered is coming and i cant wait
Well shit bro, it happened
My man, it is happening as you say.
I am from the future and you are correct
It's not a remaster, the new Dead Space will be a remake.
This series and mass effect series.. evergreen masterpieces, till now no game has replicated the experience provided by them. ( DS3 wasn't on par as 1 and 2 still a good game )
Bioshock as well

I actually recently got the Marker tattooed on my upper back up to my neck. Looks beautiful. Honestly Dead Space changed my entire outlook on gaming. Fucking love it.
Unity is Forever.
Many years later... it's still installed on my computer. One of my favourite survival horror. When I played it the first time my family was away on vacation so all the fear, scream and shouting I did it alone... it was awesome.
The graphics of dead space are amazing back a year ago when I play it for the first time I never knew how old it was due to everything just looks so good even for today's standards I can't think of one moment where it looks bad
To me Dead space 1 was an absolute shining gem, while dead space 2 polished itself into a piece of nigh perfection. Dead space 3 was devolved into a piece of coal.
Expecting a sequel video
I’m replaying this now chapter5 and after tweaking it for pc god damn is it still amazing
Really good video! I just finished playing Dead Space for the first time, first watching my husband play over 10 years ago like it was a tv show. I agree, it was ahead of it’s time.
Now I’m struggling through the Ishimura again in Dead Space 2. It’s more action oriented and not as terrifying, but for some reason, the lack and bursts of monsters is dreadful.
I played this game from start to finish 8 times, more than any other game. The only reason why I wouldn't play it again is because the entire experience has been etched into my mind so hard, I wish I could forget it.
dude i literally just restarted this game after nearly 10 years. looks absolutely gorgeous on the series s. one of the best games ever made.
One of my favorite games of all time. An absolute masterpiece of beautiful graphics, tense atmosphere, perfect sound design, and super sharp gameplay. This game and it's sequel are the bar by which all other action/horror games are judged for me. Great video!
Dang,I think I hit like on this video before the video even loaded. Can always count on you to bring excellent narrative and content man. Thanks
One thing about sound design you forgot that I thought was magnificent is Isaac's breathing when he's in an area of vacuum. The dead silence of the vacuum of space while Isaac breathes is profound, especially when monsters appear and all you can really hear is Isaac's frantic breaths as he tries to make it to a sealed room or find some air.
Went back to this game a few days ago because it is such a masterpiece.
Even visuals still holds up today
I lived and breathed Dead Space as a 12 year old kid when this came out. I had the Game Informer magazine, I read the novel, the comics, I saw the movies, and even played the ARG website lead-up narrative story game called "No Known Survivors" where every day a new body part floating in space would become clickable and there would be a short interactive puzzle sequence where you played as various crew members in their last moments aboard the Ishimura. Isaac's suit is still my Google profile avatar and it used to be my TH-cam banner. I was beyond devastated when Visceral games was shut down but I still hold onto hope of a remake one day.
Wonderful video, new points about the game i didnt even notice. Glad I discoverd you via EFAP
Im so glad you are still making videos! You were my favorite. You are so on time with my most favorite horror game of all time!
I love this game! It has a great story, and the tension is heavy and interesting. Dead Space 2 is still great and I would love to see and play a remake of these two games. The first game was like R.E. & ALIEN inside of Event Horizon.
I replayed it as well on my PS3 recently and it still holds up. I love the atmosphere and monster designs, as well as the weapon and armor designs. I was originally going to play it for a little while but I found myself completely immersed on its gameplay. So much so that I just couldn't put it down. I was always thinking about what to upgrade next and experimenting with the different weapons (The Ripper is my favourite), all while managing resources and remembering where I left some ammo and medkits to come back later and pick them up. I love how they managed to tie the UI within the game itself.
Now I'm preparing myself to do a "impossible mode" run.
I would love to see a similar vid about Dead Space 2 in the future! Great analysis 👍🏻
great video! major throwback!
This is one game I would love to see remastered.
Wish granted
Wish very much granted
@Albert Wesker yea I know!
Give us Dead Space legendary edition EA
must be terror edition
I loved how the health bar was part of your character to reduce the hud on screen.
The sound design is masterfully done. The hall at 7:20 no monsters, no threat but a train going through made me run from that hall because of how scary it is.
I replayed Dead Space a year or so ago and I was SHOCKED by how good it is. Certainly its presentation is amazing for a 2007 title, considering how fucking awful Mass Effect 1 runs
Isn't it a 2008 one tho
@@Walamonga1313 yeah 2008, it’s all good he got the wrong year. We make mistakes

Dead Space is not survival horror

Absolute masterpiece of a game as it holds a special place in my heart shame EA couldn't continue the franchise as the ending in Awakening left a cliffhanger and there was more yet to be desired
Honestly you should make these videos longer, they’re great!
Greatest sci fi horror game ever made. Hands down. When EA cancelled the franchise I knew gaming was pretty much over as an industry. Seems my hunch was right.
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: *18 minutes of saying yes*
I feel like I've seen you elsewhere
@@Walamonga1313 the next Justin Y?
Legit the first game which scared me. I remember playing it in the living room in the dark and shaking in anticipation /terror
I loved all the tactile immersion. I used it to navigate through the game, watching shadows listening to all the sounds, learning enemy movements and behavior. I love the ripper! Secondary fire is so useful
I loved 1, 2 was amazing, 3 was ok but I still liked it. Too bad that's where it ended.
But there is that one new game coming out that is like dead space, hope it's good
Dead space trilogy easily in my top 10 games I have ever played. I really do like the action horror genre combined.
When it comes to combat, what I love about the first game (and something that the series progressively got worse at) was that enemy movement was generally slow and their numbers were rarely significant. They used the strength and high damage of the individual enemies to maintain tension and challenge without sacrificing the unique dismemberment aspect. DS2 started to introduce more enemies that didn't really allow for dismemberment, often introducing weaker enemies in larger numbers instead, and it made fighting them much less dynamic; DS3 took that even further.
DS2 did introduce that one enemy that I think we can all agree brought back that sense of tension, but they showed up far too rarely.
I think what makes Dead Space such a timeless masterpiece is that it hasn't been milked for all its worth like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty.
Assassins Creed was milked becuase of Ubisofts greed
"Still a Masterpiece?" YES, of course!!! Dead space is a staple of the gaming industries Horror genre, I consider it a MUST play for any gaming enthusiasts or any fan of any Horror film/ series or just piece of media. It's always going be an experience that will stick with me forever, in the back of my mind, Crawling around through the vents, whispering, begging to be Made Whole!!! But for real it's unfortunate what EA did to Visceral Games, the original Dead Space truly showed the patential that the I.P really has. Just cross your fingers and hope for Dead Space 4. 🤞👽👍
Anyone here beat it on impossible with only a plasma cutter? 🙋♂️
Right here dude!🤣 It was so fun and challenging.
I've beaten this game so many times that the plasma cutter is my go to weapon and Impossible is freaking easy to me now. Hey, I'm not trying to sound like I'm some ultimate gamer, I just love this game so much I played it too much!!
Any tips for impossible mode as I’m going to try it
@@SqueezyBoy Sure thing. Upgrade the Plasma Cutter as soon as possible and use that as your main weapon. A fully upgraded Plasma Cutter is godlike. I aim for the legs horizontally. They fly to the ground, then shoot an arm off and you're good. Choose a secondary weapon, I recommend the Force Gun as its primary fire is great at pushing back a necromorph herd if they mob you and get too close. Upgrade your HP and Stasis duration when you can, but always keep at least one Power Node on you at all times to unlock the Node Doors, most of them are worth it for the extra cash and ammo. Upgrade your suit as soon as possible. Just stick to two weapons max so you can always have credits for ammo, health, or upgrading your suit(more inventory and defense). Juke those necromorphs! They are relentless, but they aren't too intelligent. Remember, you don't have to fight every encounter. Example:asteroid room. Hardest encounter IMO is at the end of the game when you're moving the marker and the doors lockdown. Stay in the corner closest to the door and pick em off as the drop in. Here's a little tip: Move the marker at the end of the game with your kinesis and push it as far as you can down the rail at the last door outside without exiting. Keep grabbing it with kinesis and then blasting it a bit farther. You can get it almost all the way to the end. When you can't push it any further, run out and grab with your kinesis and push it the rest of the small distance and BAM all the necro morphs and tentacles are obliterated and you just avoided a troublesome encounter. Most of all, just have fun! You can totally beat it on Impossible, it's really not that difficult, just try to keep your space from the necros.
@@CapsuleClub-fz6gu alright thank you mate! Definitely will have fun and use your tips! Your a bloody legend
Hot take the Plasma cutters alternate firing mode is it's real primary firing mode, because it's the most commonly used unless angles mean it's better at cutting and hitting limbs if it's vertical.
Great video man. Playing this for the first time in 2021
I came here to say...THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME IS GETTING REMADE!
Dead Space is a franchise that is just begging for a reboot or a remake, especially with games like RE8 being so popular.
A reboot would be more probable.
You can't remake a masterpiece.
Well well mate! We’re getting one!
Oh my it had better be good
@@MeatBunFul hopefully it should be
Right after this game was released I saw a short making-of video, and it was the very first time I ever heard the term "vertical slice" to describe when a developer needs to come up with a functional and relatively fleshed out, playable concept segment of a game which they then use to pitch the idea to the higher ups before getting the green light to make the game
another great vid Tone, i hope you are as excited about the remake as i am!
Just finished it again, for the 6th time, and yes, its still holds up, like it was released yesterday!
Agree. It looks pretty damn decent still as well. It´s one of the game series I point to when arguing that games have really looked good enough for some time now, and that devs should focus on making games actually good, instead of 0.0001% more photorealistic
It´s mostly when dynamic lightning effects became commonplace, that games started, in my opinion to look good. F.E.A.R for example. It´s 16 years old, but still looks decent. Mostly because of the light effects.
@@TomOostenrijk Exactly, lights and atmosphere can make a game more real than photorealistic graphics. Also the sound design on Dead Space is superb!
Great video. Definitely do one on Dead Space 2
Remember Stalker? That enemy is really smart and if you jump in without a plan, you're going to get decimated.
One of my favorite pieces of in-game immersion was the flamethrower. While it was excellent for dealing with those little crawling enemies, you are still using a flamethrower in space. And if you were in a vacuum, the flamethrower would fail to work, just as it should.
Those small details help sell the experience, and is why it is still one of my favorite titles.
This video gave me eternal youth. Thank you so much
Really great video! I love Dead Space so much
The spatial immersion of dead space is so unique I love that they put all the health and stasis stats on your suit
It really brought back the survival horror games because at the time Resident Evil was going more action base. Dead Space is one of my favorite games because it was actually scary. I walked gun at the ready throughout the game.
Excellent video and analysis. My only comment is that I think you might have missed a crucial aspect of the laser cutter. The ability to rotate the the axis from horizontal to vertical isn't strictly about damage, but about the ease of cutting off arms. Horizontal shots were best for cutting legs, vertical shots were best for cutting off arms.
I feel ya. Was enthralled after getting Through the beginning
Dead Space will always be my all time favorite horror game. Till this day, every Halloween night, I boot up Dead Space 1 and play it in the dark with some headphones on to truly get the full visual and audible experience.
Dead Space and Nazi Zombies from World at War. Those are what I like to fire up for Halloween.
The Dead Space series will always be one of my favorites of all time. It's sad that we don't get this type of game anymore.
Great video. Very much enjoyed hearing your thoughts and am always excited to watch another dead space video. If you are looking to experience the game again for the first time have a kid and when they are old enough let them play it.. probably as close as you can get. One small quibble about the video "the whole game.." is not literally on the Ishimura.
Fantastic review. Thanks for this!
I grabbed all 3 games on sale last week. Looks like I'll be having fun.
The outstanding sound design is still absolutely unmatched...I have so much respect for Glen Schofield, because that's the 1. Priority they aimed for in Deadspace but Callisto Protocol as well. When you hear something and don't know what it is? Your imagination becomes a terrifying tool, like no scary jumpscare or enemy can achieve!
The UI keeps you immersed. Very cool.
The section the terrifies me the most was the section that you encounter the creature that regenerates itself.
Wow, you totally nailed this video! Can’t wait to play this on the PS 5.
I'm finally going through it for the first time. So far, I'm really enjoying it.
