Dead Space: One More Thing....

OK, so after the credits roll, you get a big stack of unlocked gear, logs, and other goodies. The two most gameplay-relevant ones are the level 6 "military" suit--better than anything available the first time you play through the game--and 50,000 credits to spend at the store. Would help soften the challenge of the "impossible" difficulty level that also unlocks, no?

In the lullaby trailer and the art and gore featturette they show a necromorph in miners gear like Isaac's. I went through the entire game without seeing them. What chapter are they in?

MiloGarret6367d ago

It never happened to me, but I think its what happens if you let one of those bat-things get to you. Instead of you dying it transforms you. Could be, right? Anyone can confirm this?

jollygoodchap86367d ago

Nah, the bat things just decap you.

That scene you're talking about is actually a Isaac death scene.

***mini spoiler***

That tentacle head thing does that to him. First it cuts off Isaac's head, then takes over his body. It then looks at the camera for a split second and walks off.

Brutal eh? That thing in the trailer was Isaac.

Actually they use quite a few death scenes in that trailer I think.

Excalibur6367d ago

Things I liked about this game was the re-playability.
The first play was a slow moving scare fest is great but because you keep all your goodies on the second round it turns the game into a faster paced shooter.
So it's like getting 2 games in one.

My score 10/10

mariusmal6366d ago

i'm gonna get this game on christmas. i think it0s a major design flaw to not being able to use saved games in another difficulty levels

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken464d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb464d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno463d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex463d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69712d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay711d ago (Edited 711d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69711d ago (Edited 711d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga711d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw711d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree710d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake711d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC711d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay711d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman711d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay711d ago (Edited 711d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman710d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
