Dead space platform of choice

[udabenshen]

What platform are you getting dead space on. The game is looking great. So, what platform?

[Esquilax1138]

PC for me, can't stand shooters on a gamepad. But then again I only buy PC games, the PS3 just sees the odd rental when it's not available on the PC.

And the game is looking awesome, love a good sci-fi setting. Will also watch the DVD and track down the graphic novel to get right into it.

[KingGorilla]

Whichever one I can get it for 20-30 bucks on first.

[pomeroy]

360.

It's the one computer in my apartment that can actually run games (except for right now, as I think I broke it).

[rinichanraar]

Probably 360. 360 is my default console for multi-platform games. I'll only do PS3 if my boyfriend wants a game for that system so he can play online with his brother.

[Lekon]

I'll be getting it for whatever the blockbuster nearest me has it for first.

[The Iron Weasel]

Probably 360, my PC is generally great, except my video card is getting a little on the non-dx10 side of things, i guess its time to grab one of the 8800's!

[H.Bogard]

PC for the mods and the graphics. Besides, this game's got controls just like Cold Fear... which was very shitty on a gamepad, but easy when I tried it with a mouse.

[DangerousDaze]

PC so I can play it to my heart's content on the lappy.

[Spacetronaut]

I'd prefer to get it for the PC, but mine is in a perpetual state of brokenness, so it'll have to be the 360.

[mister slim]

Probably the PS3, just because the extra suit looks less idiotic. I don't see any other differences between the console versions.

[itchyeyes]

I'm leaning towards the 360, but depending on how the reviews and how quickly the various prices drop I could go with either one of the 3.

[aVaKus]

If it is made available thru Steam (which I highly doubt) I would get it for PC. So prolly 360. But the game looks sweet regardless of platform.

[Young Al Capone]

If only I had a PC up to the task, alas I shall play it on my 360.

[fitbabits]

Xbox 360, for reasons I can't talk about - yet.

[quidmonkey]

I believe the first choice should read "Magic" Box.

[crazyD]

I bet the PC version will be anything more then a slapdash port of a game designed for the consoles. Add that to the fact that it will probably not be hitting Steam, and I guess I'll grab it for the 360, just because I prefer the controller.

H.Bogard, you really expect mods? Really?

[National Kato]

Xbox 360, for reasons I can't talk about - yet.

Aw, jesus fuck. I was going to buy it for the PS3 so that my PS3 library would have more than just MSG4 and Ratchet & Clank sitting side-by-side. Then you go and say something like this which means I'll likely be missing out on something.

I hate console exclusives. :mad:

This.
And the mod talk, yeah H.Bogard, it's EA and lately console ports don't get SDK's (See Bioshock and the amazing lost opportunities).

Also, my poor GPU won't be ready for this game, I'm pretty sure.

[Talanvor]

I believe the first choice should read "Magic" Box.

I second this. In fact, everytime PCs come up here they should be referred to as Magic PCs. Just, you know, 'cause.

[Goonch]

Probably 360.

[Spigot]

PC for the mods and the graphics. Besides, this game's got controls just like Cold Fear... which was very shitty on a gamepad, but easy when I tried it with a mouse.Cold Fear was fine with a gamepad, at least on the PS2. The game itself had some issues, but the controls were fine.

My PC wouldn't run Dead Space if I wanted it to and I'm with Rini... I tend to go with the 360 with a multiplatform game, if only for the achievements.

Though I'd be tempted to play the PS3 version since the PS3 is so much quieter...

[Kielaran]

360...eventually. With all the MP games coming out, SP games are on the back burner.

Plus, I'm an achievement whore.

[Morangie]

360 for me, if only for the achievements.

[Xerxes]

Is there any multiplayer? Otherwise it doesn't matter.

[fitbabits]

Is there any multiplayer? Otherwise it doesn't matter.
No, none.

When I spoke with Glen (Executive Producer) he said that they decided early on to focus on an amazing single player experience, rather than a middling SP experience with a tacked-on MP.

[Xerxes]

No, none.

When I spoke with Glen (Executive Producer) he said that they decided early on to focus on an amazing single player experience, rather than a middling SP experience with a tacked-on MP.

That's smart of them. Very smart. So again, doesn't matter one bit. 360 for me though.

[Spigot]

No, none.

When I spoke with Glen (Executive Producer) he said that they decided early on to focus on an amazing single player experience, rather than a middling SP experience with a tacked-on MP.Yay, yay and once again, yay.

I'd much rather have a rock solid SP game that just blows my socks off than for the team to divert resources to something like the Darkness' lame MP component.

[Xerxes]

Yay, yay and once again, yay.

I'd much rather have a rock solid SP game that just blows my socks off than for the team to divert resources to something like the Darkness' lame MP component.

Did you even bother with the Darkness MP? Shame on you. :p

[KingGorilla]

Yay, yay and once again, yay.

I'd much rather have a rock solid SP game that just blows my socks off than for the team to divert resources to something like the Darkness' lame MP component.

Pfft, I'd never pay for half a game...

[Spigot]

Pfft, I'd never pay for half a game...But not all games need multiplayer! Would you skip Ico or Shadow Of The Colossus if they came out today and didn't have multiplayer?

Maybe it's because I've always skewed a lot further to the SP side of things and didn't do any major online gaming (aside from MMO's and the odd FPS deathmatch) until I got my 360. Yes, it adds to a game if done right but just tacking it on there for the sake of a bullet point on the box is a waste of resources if you ask me.

And yes, Xerxes. I did try one or two rounds of The Darkness MP... It wasn't awful but I couldn't see anyone playing more than one or two rounds and going to play something, well, good.

[maharahaj]

Yay, yay and once again, yay.

I'd much rather have a rock solid SP game that just blows my socks off than for the team to divert resources to something like the Darkness' lame MP component.

This is my sentiment exactly.

I will be getting it for the 360 eventually.

Nobody could get that through their head about Shadowrun. It didn't make up a shitty single player mode and people called it half a game overlooking the solid MP.

[mister slim]

This (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/10/dead-space-cons.html) is the only difference as far as I can tell.

[Spigot]

Nobody could get that through their head about Shadowrun. It didn't make up a shitty single player mode and people called it half a game overlooking the solid MP.Again, a good call. The problem with Shadowrun was that MS basically just tossed it out there and didn't bother to do anything to hype/promote/do anything with it.

I know a lot of people would have loved for it to have at least some form of singleplayer campaign but that's not what it was about.

Of course, it probably shouldn't have had the Shadowrun brand attached. That also hurt it as it had a lot of people up in arms that it wasn't a rock-solid RPG...

[Spigot]

This (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/10/dead-space-cons.html) is the only difference as far as I can tell.Heh. True. I'm torn by that. I like the PS3 suite a LOT more than I do the 360 one, but not enough to sway me.

[Xerxes]

Of course, it probably shouldn't have had the Shadowrun brand attached. That also hurt it as it had a lot of people up in arms that it wasn't a rock-solid RPG...

True. I'm tired of brand names being slather across games just for the fun of it. Let the games speak for themselves. I mean if it's possible, dignify these ass off shoots.

[Xerxes]

Heh. True. I'm torn by that. I like the PS3 suite a LOT more than I do the 360 one, but not enough to sway me.

They'll be DLC. Muahahahaa. There always is.

Sorry if I went off half-cocked. I got waaaay too much sun, alcohol and seawater in me today. I'm a little punchy tonight and my sarcasmometer is a little out of whack.

Also, my poor GPU won't be ready for this game, I'm pretty sure.

The Need for Speed games were hand-me-down console ports and didn't have SDK's. They have more than a shit tonne of mods out there for those. What's Bioshock's lack of mods got to do with Dead Space?

As for your GPU, anyone with a computer bought within the past 3 years can play this game on a $110 GPU.

Why would you assume there will be mods? While I'm not saying it is impossible, it is very unlikely.

[udabenshen]

How come I can't view the poll results before voting?

I set it to not reveal the results until later, sorry. I shouldn't have done that :mad:.

anyways, Im thinking im going to go 360, for achievements and the better controller. Im a pc gamer at heart, but from what i read it is really built around the gamepad. It has mouse + Keyboard support, but supposed its not that great. Also, mods in this game will most likely be non-existant.

Also, im a cheap, yet impatient bastard, and toys 'r us is having their mega buy 2 get 1 free sale next week so i'll be picking up socom and one other 60 dollar game (soul calibur IV or civ rev i think). Sound good?

[Callador]

Clearly the Xbox 360 box version due to the controller goodness. Also the shallow part of me enjoys achievements.

[National Kato]

Clearly the Xbox 360 box version due to the controller goodness.

What if you have a DualShock PS3 controller? Does the game support vibrato?

[KingGorilla]

You console guys love those dildos.

Yeah, you got some valid points, what I was trying to say it's that with a proper SDK fans could make really cool stuff, like full conversion mods and such, even whole new campaigns.

And yeah I know my GPU will handle the game, but I just don't want to play in Low (or even med, I have an 8600gts btw), that's why I'm going for the Xbox360 version.

And Bioshock, well it was a high profile multiplatform title as well who had lots of moding potential but 2K games didn't release an SDK, I think something like that will happen with Dead Space as well.

[Deadend]

360 for rental.

I wouldn't trust in EA to port the game to PC properly.

[Callador]

You console guys love those dildos.

How else would we pleasure ourselves during cut-scenes?

[H.Bogard]

Why would you assume there will be mods? While I'm not saying it is impossible, it is very unlikely.

Why would you assume there wouldn't be any? Resident Evil 4 was the least likeliest of PC ports to get modding attention... yet its got more mods than most PC exclusive games out there today.

[crazyD]

Why would yu assume there wouldn't be any? Resident Evil 4 was the least likeliest of PC ports to get modding attention... yet its got more mods than most PC exclusive games out there today.

I would assume their wouldn't be mods because it is a console port with no SDK. There may be a few games like this that get modding support, but they are the very rare exception, not the rule.

[KingGorilla]

Simple answer, EA hates mods. Most of their child properties hate mods. Just do a google search for all of the C and C mods that got shit canned because EA or Westwood threatened legal action.

Yet in an interesting turn, one of their more prolific developers, Dice, is a bunch of mod making jerks.

[Dark Prince]

Probably 360 for me unless I decide to try something different for once and go with the ps3.

Or really whatever comes up on my Gamefly Q

[diablopath]

Xbox 360, for reasons I can't talk about - yet.
When can you!?
IF ITS IMPORTANT IT BETTER BE BEFORE TUESDAY SO I DON'T WASTE MY MONIES ON THE PS3 VERSION (which is what I voted for)

[Deadend]

Why would you assume there wouldn't be any? Resident Evil 4 was the least likeliest of PC ports to get modding attention... yet its got more mods than most PC exclusive games out there today.

That game gets mods in spite of how horrible it is and based on the love the fans have for the existing versions of it. If the PS2 or Wii version were as easy to mod (At all) then they would probably be on there instead. The game had horrible controls, no shaders, bad textures and was an inferior port.

You act like PCs are some sort of... magical box.

This is EA we are talking about, and a game where every time it's been shown off, I hear that it's done with a 360 pad. You can bet money that the game was not designed around the PC.

Now, if this was Left4Dead or Rage, or Far Cry 2, I'd be thinking PC... but Dead Space?

[Squidbot]

No, none.

When I spoke with Glen (Executive Producer) he said that they decided early on to focus on an amazing single player experience, rather than a middling SP experience with a tacked-on MP.

Brilliant, I applaud this approach. Far too many games suffer because of development on a shitty MP mode, and I echo the Darkness berating comments.

I was going to pick up Dead Space on PS3, just to give the black box some love, but after the "reasons I cannot talk about" comment, I have changed my decision.

[Mastergeo7]

I assume you guys hate Securom as much as I do. Well the latest issue of PCZone has this little Minimum System Requirements and guess what?

DRM requires Internet Connection for Online Authentication

EA is really stupid spending so much money on a DRM that is cracked even before launch...

Not really. Console developed games on a PC are normally for the lose. I could see if you were talking about a PC developed game being ported to consoles.

I strongly disagree. Given, I haven't gone after a lot of those every-platform-that-someone-might-want-to-buy-our-game-on releases, but with some notable exceptions, every game I've ever played that has been ported to PC is *vastly* superior.

Well, except Phantasy Star Universe. That was ass, but mostly because of their cheat protection. Hiding yourself from the system - seriously?

[Schnoogs]

360 for me...hooked on achievements

[Restlessavenger]

I'm gonna go with PS3, no multiplayer to consider for the 360 side, plus Trophy support is there day one.

[Dukefrukem]

PS3, trophies!

[darkbase]

PS3, trophies!

w00t!

In fact, I recently got GTA4 for PS3 since it's trophies were announced, and having beat it on 360 already, I'm finding the frame rate and graphics noticeably better. Glitches still occur quite often though :(

[Spigot]

PS3, trophies!
See, I just haven't felt the same kind of Pavlovian response to the Trophies that I do with the Achievements. Now if Home launches some time in the next 10 years and has a trophy room where you can see all of the trophies you've collected, THEN I might start to care. Right now, they're nice extra things to shoot for whenever you play a game but I just don't yearn for them like I do Achievements.

[astranoir]

Would they have grabbed you any more had they been called Entitlements, which is what Sony had initially planned on calling them?

Still as apathetic towards trophies as I am towards achievements. I think it's partially because I rarely spend that much time with a single game anymore, but I just have no desire to collect them, other than the very rare game that I actually become obsessed with.

[Spigot]

Would they have grabbed you any more had they been called Entitlements, which is what Sony had initially planned on calling them?It's not the name. It's a combination of things, I guess. In fact, I like the whole concept of different trophies with different grades based on how difficult it is to achieve them. It helps to make certian achievements in a game have more weight beyond sheer point value.

I think it's the way that the information is conveyed that seems to give the Trophy System less weight. I barely notice it when the little sign pops up in a PS3 game to signify that you got an achievement. The 'ba-doop' sound for Achievements is just so unique and it pierces through everything... Add to the fact that the 'Achievement Unlocked' sign tends to fill the screen (or at least a good chunk of real estate) and you've got something that really grabs your attention.

There's also the fact that with your Gamertag, you have the achievement point total right there, which, yes, is very e-peenish and such but hey, it is a very quick way to see how many achievements you have. The trophy list on your PS3 profile is something you kind of have to dig for.

If they had something like the mygamercard.net for PS3 profiles, I'd be all over it. I like seeing the last 4-5 games a person has played at a glance. I know there is supposedly an official Sony gamercard type widget but the last time I tried it, it basically had my avatar and profile name and nothing else. It was kind of pathetic.

I must agree with this.
To sum it up, achievements are so much more obvious.

That was probably the first thing I noticed about my 360, the first game I played was Oblivion, and as soon as I got out of the dungeon, *ba-bleep*.

I then became interested in how to unlock certain achievements. Never was about the gamerpoints for me, but I enjoyed how I could achieve (durr) something in game, and have proof of that in my Xbox Live profile.
And when you turn you 360 on, if you have it set to go to the dashboard, the first thing you see is your Gamercard, which I always considered a way to e-peen your gamerpoints around.

This is one thing that still kinda irks me about the PS3.
I still hardly notice the Trophy system, it still seems pretty hidden.

EDIT: Also, on topic: I'm so hard for Dead Space.

[Deadend]

Trophies would also be better if, say... more games had them.

[hunterx280]

As awesome as this game looks, I think it'll be a rental so that means 360.

[xoanon]

With no computer capable of running it, it will be 360 if anything for me.

[MalReynolds]

PS3 if i could afford it

[IncredibleScott]

I don't have a powerful PC nor do I have a PS3, so just XBox 360 for me.

Seriously, this game came out of nowhere for me. I saw a poster last month and it looked like a generic horror FPS until I saw some screens and read some of the early reviews off another forum just a couple of weeks ago. I ended up preordering last week and got a nifty art book for my efforts :).

Now I can't wait till tomorrow! After work I am going to shut out the lights, raise the TV volume, and hopefully will try to avoid pissing my pants.

Right now I'm debating on watching the 6 part animated comic series for the story background or just going into the game blind and unfolding the story that way.

[Spigot]

The animated comic does an interesting job of setting the tone of the universe.

There's an actual animated movie also hitting, isn't there? Or is that just the animated comic packaged on DVD?

[Young Al Capone]

[Spigot]

No, it is a full on movie (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169333).Sweet. Is it out? You'd kind of hope they'd synch things up so the movie hits at the same time as the game.

I recall hearing something where Dead Space: The Game is actually the final part of a trilogy, with the comic being the beginning and the animated film being the middle. You can enjoy the game on its own from what I hear...

Comes out on the 28th, and my understanding is that you are right in regards to the order. Seems wierd that they would release the middle chapter of a story after the last one. I only plan on checking out the other chapters if I find the narrative of the game to be really compelling.

[Spigot]

I think it was probably due to marketing bumping up the release date by a week or two.

[Sazime]

Oh man, I voted PS3, and now I find out I may get a PC version for free. What to do?!

Probably wouldn't mind getting the movie (http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Space-Downfall-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B001C0NMXE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1224574730&sr=8-2)on the 28th of this month but I like to go in order.

Totally a PC. My 4870 will hopefully shred this game up.

I would go ahead and download the free armor now (I did). If you rent it later it should work fine.
Wait you can download the armor with out the game?

Yup.

Plus you DO know that the comics have all been given that animated w/ voice-over treatment and are up for free on PSN and XBL, right? I'd like to actually read them at some point but you can just watch them all right now and won't have to wait until December...

It's the little red X at the top right of your browser.

Does anyone have this for the PC? How is the control scheme? Does it suffer from consolitus?

EDIT:

There is one caveat that PC users will have to be aware of, which is that the mouse and keyboard configuration is vastly inferior to that of the gamepad. For instance, if you want to aim and fire a weapon, you have to hold both the right mouse button and then press the left mouse button. Switching to alt-fire involves hitting the middle mouse button and then firing with the left mouse button at the same time. The same is said for using your kinesis and statis powers, as you hold the right button to aim, then hit a separate keyboard button to use them. The result is a cluttered mess of buttons that you have to constantly hit, which isn't nearly as responsive as plugging in the Xbox controller and blasting away with the triggers. Fortunately, the game instantly recognizes the controller, so you won't have to reset the game to trigger the change over from keyboard and mouse to controller, but if you want accuracy and ease in playing the game, do yourself a favor and grab a controller.

Holy crap that sounds bad. I do have a logitech joypad, but I dont know whether I want to buy this for the PC now.

Well I'm used to holding down the right mouse button while aiming then left to fire, like playing a heavy in TF2 to keep the gun spinning or zooming in the scope/sights in most other shooters, so I have not had much troubles at all.

And it looks amazing at 1920x1200 with everything at full.

Reviewers are retards. Hasn't anyone ever held down the LMB to zoom in with scopes/iron sights to fire a gun in a PC game before? Thank god this turned out to be the 'issue'. I thought it was a REAL ACTUAL concern like the RE4 controls.

Sniff... Thanks, man. :(

Haha. You're cool buddy, and I haven't ever disagreed with your reviews. :D

Yay... I went on XBL market place to download the armor. Didn't know there was a free armor until I download both. Yay me... :(

Ha ha.

Of course, I knew the Scorpion Armour wasn't free, but I wanted it anyway. I'm usually able to resist stuff like this but it just looks so nice...

[DangerousDaze]

PC so I can play it to my heart's content on the lappy.

I picked up a PC box and took it to the desk, then at the last moment I asked for a PS3 version. I've not regretted that decision! :)

360 - It looks like a great game, but a great game that is short enough to rent. It may be worth keeping it in my game library, but I'll buy it when it's $20-30.

You'd have to buy both to truly know what you are---or are not---missing.

I think I like the look of the Elite Armor.

[Spigot]

I think I like the look of the Elite Armor.Scorpion armour is essentially the Elite Armour but drenched in blood. I love it.

The Elite suite just looks too much like it's coated in teflon.
