im sorry, but i am afraid I dont see any. sorry, you want me to buy a game, you have got to do better than that EA, you dont get my money by cloning what i see as an "inferior dumbed down modern interactive movie" (not enough gameplay to be classed as a game, QTE IS NOT GAMEPLAY!)
Gameplay is EVERYTHING! i don't care what a games story is, or even what is atmosphere is, i look purely at the gameplay, and all i see here is Gears Of War crossed with Aliens with Atmosphere cheaply copied from resi and boiled down to a few lame jumpscares.
Waste of time and money as far as i am concerened, cancel the game, FIRE the dev team, and make something WORTH buying next time EA.
Here is the extreme difference between Gears of War and Dead Space:
Gears of War is a cover shooter. In Gears, you and two friendly AIs sit down behind walls and take potshots at enemy AIs that sit down behind walls and take potshots at you. There are no tactical challenges unless they are scripted to occur. You sit, aim, maybe throw a grenade, take damage and then sit back down waiting for your health to regenerate.
Dead Space is a monster horde shooter. In Dead Space, you go into a room and get jumped by a few enemies and have to run to a safe distance to kill them. The enemies are often very diverse, each with special features, like ranged attacks, explosive body parts, super speed, the capacity to stalk you, speed-inhibiting vomit and maybe a few other things. You need to prioritize the targets coming at you and use whatever weapon is most efficient at moving their limbs. You can also use Kinesis to kill enemies using bits of the environment or Stasis to slow them down, both of which are really, really cool. Your health (among other things) doesn't regenerate, so you need to explore in order to find disposable resources and money that you can use to buy the useful stuff. That's Dead Space.
Are you even letting yourself have fun with computer games?
