Take Dead Space 2, subtract the hallucinations, the Zero-G segments, the puzzles, the element of discovery, the fresh (if languished) environments, and Isaac Clarke himself. What's left?
Dead Space 2's first single-player DLC Severed stays focused on the implication of its title, perhaps to the detriment of the overall package. It places an ungainly weight on the shoulders of dismemberment combat for this extension of Dead Space: Extraction's fiction creating a dichotomy as uncomfortable as traipsing backward through already tired levels. The Sprawl never looked so... familiar.
Dead Space 2: Severed is the culmination of a whole varied canon of wonderful sci-fi stories, which was abandoned in Dead Space 3. But that's OK.
Played it. A remaster of all things Dead Space would be welcomed by me. DS1 & 2 had such a great campaign.
I would have thought that the success of RE re-masters would have convinced EA to remaster these for the next gen machines.
Sheeeeiiit. I’m one of the nut jobs that got that achievement for beating the game on the hardest difficulty with only using three saves for the entire run. I hope to play more Dead Space again before I’m old and full of arthritis!
I remember doing Severed day one. It was actually a direct sequel to Dead Space: Extraction (Gabe & Lexine). Being that Extraction came free with DS2, throwing a coin to finish the fight was a no-brainer.
Launching alongside the highly anticipated Dead Space 3 today, The Art of Dead Space is a new publication featuring the artwork that was developed in the creation of all editions of the Dead Space franchise. Available at UK retailers from today, The Art of Dead Space is a hardback book designed for collectors.
Even with all the hate 3's getting, I'm still a fan of the series. Didn't even know this was a thing, but I just picked up a copy from Amazon.
What’s better than wracking your brain to come up with solutions to the most elaborate spatial puzzles ever thought up by the most deranged, egotistical, and homicidal AI this side of HAL 9000? Doing it with a friend, of course! Portal 2 gave us more than just a fantastic new single-player installment, which probably would have been enough to satisfy most fans in its own right. The multi-player portion represents an evolution of the original’s ingenious gameplay, allowing for even more complex puzzles with two players working in tandem.
... it's GOOD DLC, and it's FREE, so finally a developers who cares, respects and rewards it's fanbase, instead of nickel-and-diming it.
Huge respect for VALVE, and this kinda stuff earns them love and loyalty from their fans. Something too many other developers and publishers either fail to realise, or fail to care about.
...cause all their DLC is free as well, and they found a nice way to do so in-game, or else Microsoft would have demanded it to be content that users would have to pay for.
I love Team Meat.
what is gamernode? lol
I suppose that opening paragraph says it all. It's a shame that they started out on such a low note for the single player DLC.
