Dead Space 3 Gameplay

[Sexbad]

I can't believe people in this thread actually think that Dead Space has ever tried to be scary. It's not a survival horror; it's an action horror shooter. It's always been about fun--shooting *****y space skeletons in the fucking face and having entrails spew just everywhere, prioritizing a variety of weapons against a cast of very diverse enemies that require different mini-strategies. And it's god damn amazing.

This video is much better than the other one they showed a while back, which showed bits of gunplay interspersed with videos of some guy yelling, "LOOK AT THIS DRILL; LOOK AT THIS GORE," ad nauseum. The narrator here is actually talking about design and inspiration and the little bits of the barely extant narrative that matter.

The only thing I dislike about Dead Space 3 so far is the emphasis on Isaac's character instead of the universe. The original had Isaac as a part of a much larger story that delved deep into a universe that had already been pretty well established in other media. The active narrative to help his crewmates and look for his girl was paper thin on its own. And even though his story ended there, enough idiots felt that he was in some way an actual character so he came back as Nathan Drake with psychic girlfriend troubles and went through a depthless soap opera in Dead Space 2. Now he's even more Nathan Drake and the story appears to be some space opera that revolves even more around him when there's all this cool Dead Space lore to exploit and expand.

Also the handle-turning looks really fucking stupid.
