IGN - Dead Space: Extraction (PS3) Review

IGN: Dead Space Extraction is fun and the best reason so far to own the PlayStation Move. It packs an interesting story, tight controls and a ton to do for its nominal price. I wish it had a few more PS3 bells and whistles and didn't lose steam at times, but I enjoyed the ride.

No Greg, RE5 Gold Edition is still the best reason to own the PS Move.

But Extraction is fun. 8/10 imo.

mrmikew20185585d ago

Quick question bro, is it true that Capcom fixed the issues that plague the original version of RE 5. For example, the framerate issues?

coolfool5585d ago

I played through the gold edition a short while back and I don't remember any frame rate issues. Which means one of two things, they either weren't bad enough to make them memorable or they weren't there.

schlanz5585d ago

Maybe, doubtful though. I played the vanilla version on Xbox, and I don't remember many framerate issues from that or the Gold Edition for PS3.

What I do remember was really enjoying the Move control. Moving around was a little clunky (no camera control really) but the shootan was vastly superior.

mrmikew20185585d ago

Thanks bro, I saw it on amazon for $35, I believe the gold edition has all the DLC included. I may pick it up this weekend.

So Dead Space Extraction on the Wii gets 8.5 across the board from IGN, but Dead Space Extraction HD on the PS3 gets 7.5 across the board except in Sound. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Granted the games were reviewed by two different people, but it is still the same company. There should be some kind of consistency.

thief5585d ago

Its old news now, but still funny, see for instance Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma reviews versus NG2 on the 360.

testerg355585d ago

Wouldn't you also consider the platform that its on? Say the gfx on the Wii is considered really good, but Dead Space on the PS3 is just ok compared to other games?

AssassinHD5585d ago (Edited 5585d ago )

A good reviewer will review a product on it's own merits, not the merits of other products. Reviewers should not compare products in a review.

Besides, if IGN really reviewed games in comparison to other products available on the platform, then they would not have rated Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 so highly. The 8-bit art style looks like crap compared to other available games.

testerg355585d ago

AssassinHD, I was commenting on the people above complaining about why the Wii version got an 8.5 and the PS3 version got a 7.5. The game could have looked great on the Wii, but on the PS3 it was just ok.

Dead Space Extraction better than the original Dead Space?

Okaaaaay...

lucian2291381d ago

I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.

Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.

MIDGETonSTILTS171381d ago

Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.

Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.

lucian2291381d ago

I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.

MIDGETonSTILTS171381d ago

There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.

The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.

CDbiggen1381d ago

Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.

VersusDMC1381d ago

Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.

Xenial1381d ago

As simple as 1,2,3.

Extraction, then Ignition.

EA Talks About Closing Visceral And Single-Player Games

The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.

"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"

What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.

Ashlen3116d ago

How can you say this.

"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."

And then say this in the very next paragraph.

"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."

I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
