This is the first horror series that give me enough balls to Go Out there and Face the Horrors. Dead Space made me face my nightmares that is a true statement to how much y love Dead Space Universe.
Can we just talk about how well the game holds up visually for an 11 year old title? Like, damn. Also screw the ending jumpscare, screw it to hell and back.
Can we stop using the term "jumpscare"? Every fucking scare is a jumpscare. There are no other types of scares, its like saying "the wet water"...is there any other type of water? Water implies wetness.
@@joecool9739 There are indeed different types of scare tactics used in media. The term "jump scare" is used to describe a staged situation in any form of visual media, that may or may not actually be scary. It's pretty much a cheap (now overused and cliché), but sometimes effective way to throw the viewers off, and relax them while the genuine scare is strategically placed in an upcoming scene.
@@shinbakihanma2749 A scare is a scare. What other type of scares are there? Fear, dread, tension, terror, horror and suspense are not the same as "scare". A scare is always a jumpscare. There is no other type.
Well technically Isaac did get some military training as it's sorta obligatory for most Engineers within the Universe. But it ain't all that extensive.
Such an absolute modern horror classic, and its kinda proof that you can defend yourself in a game and have it still feel like a horror game. The atmosphere is just done so fucking well, with such an interesting enemy and plot.
Would add the classic resident evil games in that classification as well. Amnesia was a great horror game but I think too many took inspiration on its lack of combat systems.
@@outriderjuno9371 You mean to tell me people DIDN'T just get pulse rifle maxed out and cheesed the game till the end? Thats what i did in my first playthough. And even up to today. Pulse rifle is op.
These reviews are so in depth and the way that our reviewer quickly yet thoroughly seemingly goes over every possible topic of the game really makes this channel one of my favorites. Also the review of old games brings a breath of fresh air as well as needed nostalgia. Keep up the good work!
I would LOVE a first person, VR version of Dead Space!!!! The art and graphics of this game still look awesome after all these years. It's as close as we have to an Event Horizon game.
I recently play this great survival horror title back last year and I know why this game is considered a favorite among fans of the series and horror fans alike. Thanks for the review Gaming Pastime. Oh the Plasma Cutter when its fully upgraded, it will obliterate the necromorphs with ease. Love that weapon!
@@jgamer9307 i checked in wikipedia visceral and showed there. Makes sense if it's the same company. Sorry. I guess you could say both but ea redwood shores is more correct.
CZcams recommended a good channel for the first time?! But in all seriousness you gained a new fan and thank you for reviewing one of my favorite games of all time
I played it at night in empty house under construction with just brick walls and cemented floor. What a night!!! Wonder if there`s something like it out there.
@@teguhhidayat6882 There was one guy that i worked with at the office. He refused to play it at a lunch break in the room full of other guys. Only when we gave him unlimited ammo and weapons and other stuff trainer he promissed he will give it a shot. It took a month for a guy to get his shit together and face his fear. Man it was hilarious to wach his face playing tha game. He'd wonder all over the place just not to go to that next gate. Man we laught our ases of watching his agony when he was attacked by some scary shit. Jumped from his chair hoping to escape the office. We made him beat it after all. He was proud as if he saved the world. What a transformation!
Remember when EA had great devs and games but they started killing them off slowly and some went insane by claiming magic would save the game at the end?!
Dead Space 1 was the reason I bought a 360. It's easy to look back at it now and critic this and that, but at the time, it truly was the shit. It's still one of my top 5 games of all time.
If watched a few of these Dead Space review videos and this is the first one to really highlight that damn Twinkle Twinkle song. Hearing that play in the first few seconds of this video caused shivers.
This game is a horror masterpiece. I loved playing it. Although I feel like the games kind of got less scary as they went on. By number 3 it was more of a goofy coop shooter. Which was fun in its own right
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I can't even finish the game cause it's so boring to me. The first two games were fun and interesting while the 3rd just felt off. I do love the fan theories that the Brethren Moons represent EA devouring all studios.
Very disappointed you didn't mention that the ammo drops depends on the weapons you carry so the less weapons you carry the more ammo you'll have of just 1 type of weapon.
I remember buying this game for my friend for Christmas, and I decided to try it out before giving it to him and I ended up getting all the achievements over the course of like, 3 days. This game is so fun! Try these games with the music off, I think it helps ramp up the atmosphere even more especially for 2
It's kinda funny that I found all the mouse and sensitivity issues as a feature when I first played this game. I thought it was way more challenging and I actually managed to beat all the difficulties. You know a game is good when not even gameplay issues manage to take you off of it.
I first played this 4 years ago, and its the only game that had me cautiously walking slowly checkin every corner instead of running round blasting away, it was stressful 🤣. Had me shouting "i need a gun! I need a gun!" In the first necro encounter.
I just beat this on PC for the first time a few weeks ago, had a blast. Playing through the second one ATM. In addition to your fixes, I used Reshade to change the color palette to something darker and more foreboding.
nice review, btw there is only 1 Hunter in Dead Space, first time you just freeze it, the second time the crazy dude melts it out of the ice block, you both times you are fighting the same Hunter
So weird. I literally just finished replaying Dead Space on PC the same day this got uploaded. This game is soo good and other then some sub par textures, it looks almost as good as any game out today. Crazy how good it looks for an 11 year old game. Now I'm on to Dead Space 2.
I can understand. Dead space 1 is much more survival horror oriented while dead space 2 is more action horror. Not the same game at all. Personally i like dead space 2 more but the first game is up there too
Dead space and uncharted 2 , I played them once or twice a week. When I get really drunk nothing else comes to my mind besides these games. Did I say drunk!? I meant jolly
Awesome review. For Dead Space 2 & 3 are you going to review the multiplayer portions of the game? I can help you with both, I play on X360/One, and I’ll relatively go at my own pace for DS3 Co-Op. if not, I can send you some of my multiplayer footage to you for DS2 & 3.
This game, no matter how many times I beat it, IT ALWAYS keeps sucking me back into, it's the Horrific atmosphere not the just Necromorphs that always gets wanting MORE Horror games like this...
Only game that made me feel very uneasy is Thief deadly shadows and the level Robbing the cradle, man that place is creepy. Today probably not as much but back when the game was new it was superb.
Love this game... I've played through Dead Space 1 and 2... But, I've yet to tackle DS3. It's currently on my backlog with about 30 other games. Maybe when I retire 20 years from now I'll catch up!
If any one wants to learn how to fix those certain PC issues. There is a CZcamsr, Mandalor, who made a review on Dead Space and talks about how to fix those PC issues.
I remember as a kid, I was so scared and unnerved by this game I got anxious just holding the disk and the main menu had me feeling a constant chill. My favorite mission is the USM Valor. Those Twitchers are forever burned into my memory and still freaked me out on my recent playthrough.
At on point EA was negotiating for a license, kind of a rumour so persistent and certain hints popped up, I believe it was a LinkenIn resume. Anyway, Visceral was tasked with making this game based on this IP and so they made a prototype. EA failed to secure the IP and so they had this rather good game from Visceral, so they just reworked it a bit. This IP was System Shock. If EA had secured those rights, this would have been the new System Shock. No joke.
For every Dead Space fan i also recommend to watch Ars Technica 's video on Dead Space where one of the devs talks about a special scene that was in the game and how they did it ! Here it is /watch?v=BQ3iqq49Ew8
Dead Space 1 was a breath of fresh air for us gamers starved for survival-horror action. Dead Space 2 made numerous improvements, but also had some regressions. My personal favorite of the series. Dead Space 3 had some questionable design & content changes, most of which were forced by EA. The game starts off as an action-shooter, but once you get into space it will feel like Dead Space again, though towards the end it starts to falter again. Still a good game, but the weakest of the three.
The Developer (Visceral) already had plans for Dead Space 4, and they said that they were going to go for an open-world where the playable character had to search through space and investigate many derelict space-ships in order to scavenge for supplies & equipment. It sounded awesome. Unfortunately, EA cancelled its development and closed the Development studio down. R.I.P. Visceral. You (& Dead Space) will be sorely missed.
Playing for the first time on pc, while I can only go 30 FPS it looks so much smoother than the PS3 version. I can't see anything "dated" about the game. There's a lot of lighting and textures that have been done better in games but I think this game has an art style that works with the tech of the time, making a timeless game. Got it for 5$ on steam, basically an HD remaster for people who only played the console version
@@snakegriffon2298 hard to say, all pcs are different. I'm running a basic build with integrated graphics, but the only fix I needed was to go into my game files and adjust the gamma because it was too bright. Seemed steam was up to date
I love the dead space series to death, I was devastated when EA killed Visceral games, my only real complaint about the first game was the narrative was tedious at times, it was mostly just "Issac, go do this, Isaac go fix this thingy over there, Isaac go check out that scary noise." And I had completely forgoton Isaac even had a gf until the game reminds me, still though I give it the absolute highest 9/10👍 P.S- When is there gonna be a remaster/trilogy edition?
Dead Space was one of the first horror games I’ve played as a kid. I told myself if I played this I won’t be scared of any other game and it was true. P.T was the only game that had a solid chance at frightening me. Such a sad fate it got cancelled. DS1 is the most disturbing and scariest Dead Space in the franchise sense you are more isolated in it and you encounter a threat you weren’t prepared to face. DS2 is amazing and fun, just not as horrifying as DS1. DS3 to me has a great story (I didn’t like the awakened DLC ending. I really want that to be non-cannon) it’s more of an action driven game than an actual horror game. It’s actually understandable why the necromorphs aren’t that scary to fight as you proceed through the serious (like in DS3) because you get to understand them by the unfolding plot and you’ve been fighting them for so long. You begin to want to end the evil doings of the markers with high amounts of courage rather than cower in fear. Even though I say this I still do get tensed up about DS1. I played that game so much that it oddly started to get scary all over again. Gave me nightmares, anxiety, and had to stop playing it even though I beat it over 30 times. (Didn’t have a life as a kid so that’s why I beat it so much)
@@themarcshark See, I guess I just never really got into the other weapons that were available. I'm gonna try and get a feel for the rest of the weapons at a later date.
Dead Space was one of my favorite games on 360. I always heard the sequel was great (and the needle QTE was gnarly), so I bought it on Steam a few months ago. It ran fine on my old system, but then I won a new PC in a giveaway from NZXT, and now it won't work. It crashes immediately after launch. I don't know if it's a problem with RTX, G-Sync, or my 18-core CPU. I've seen a few forums/articles about DS2 being incompatible with CPUs that have more than 4 cores. I've tried using a processor parking utility, to no avail. Edit: I FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING! I just needed to limit my CPU to 10 processors using MSConfig. EA even confirmed the issue. answers.ea.com/t5/Dead-Space-Games/Dead-Space-2-will-crash-on-launch-with-more-than-10-processors/td-p/5669496
Playing DeadSpace (again) atm and it's amazing how well the first two games hold up to this day. Would consider part 2 the favourite because of improved controls and presentation but the first one still nailed its atmosphere a bit better.
You played Dead Space a game that requires accurate aiming with a controller? On a PC, where you have the option to use a mouse................which would already make dealing with multiple enemies a lot easier.
First my fav 3rd person action series and now my fav 3rd person horror series??Am I dreaming (Note: Don't forget to review Extraction,it's fully playable on Dolphin Emulator) P.S you should talk more about your Patreon in the beginning of each video!People should notice and support your channel,I know I will

Ds2 is not better in every way, it's barely better in some aspects. Ds1 is what real dead space is about.

How convenient, I literally finished playing the trilogy yesterday. Great video as usual, keep up the good work.
I’ve played it once and will never come back. Too much stress on my nerves because of jumpscarce 🤣 Great game!
i feel you buddy
Best tip is to not hold 4 guns at once - you'll only pick up ammo for the gun/guns your currently holding
Dead Space was one of the first horror games I’ve played as a kid. I told myself if I played this I won’t be scared of any other game and it was true. P.T was the only game that had a solid chance at frightening me. Such a sad fate it got cancelled.
DS1 is the most disturbing and scariest Dead Space in the franchise sense you are more isolated in it and you encounter a threat you weren’t prepared to face. DS2 is amazing and fun, just not as horrifying as DS1. DS3 to me has a great story (I didn’t like the awakened DLC ending. I really want that to be non-cannon) it’s more of an action driven game than an actual horror game.
It’s actually understandable why the necromorphs aren’t that scary to fight as you proceed through the serious (like in DS3) because you get to understand them by the unfolding plot and you’ve been fighting them for so long. You begin to want to end the evil doings of the markers with high amounts of courage rather than cower in fear.
Even though I say this I still do get tensed up about DS1. I played that game so much that it oddly started to get scary all over again. Gave me nightmares, anxiety, and had to stop playing it even though I beat it over 30 times. (Didn’t have a life as a kid so that’s why I beat it so much)
If I loved dead space, would I enjoy the Resident Evil 2 remake?
A great review for a great classic!
Am I the only one who just used the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle for weapons?
Nah line gun ftw. But pulse is good too
@@themarcshark See, I guess I just never really got into the other weapons that were available. I'm gonna try and get a feel for the rest of the weapons at a later date.
This review is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Dead Space was one of my favorite games on 360. I always heard the sequel was great (and the needle QTE was gnarly), so I bought it on Steam a few months ago. It ran fine on my old system, but then I won a new PC in a giveaway from NZXT, and now it won't work. It crashes immediately after launch. I don't know if it's a problem with RTX, G-Sync, or my 18-core CPU. I've seen a few forums/articles about DS2 being incompatible with CPUs that have more than 4 cores. I've tried using a processor parking utility, to no avail.
Edit: I FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING! I just needed to limit my CPU to 10 processors using MSConfig. EA even confirmed the issue.

Playing DeadSpace (again) atm and it's amazing how well the first two games hold up to this day.
Would consider part 2 the favourite because of improved controls and presentation but the first one still nailed its atmosphere a bit better.
The hunter always scared the living shit out of me!
I love your videos man
You played Dead Space a game that requires accurate aiming with a controller?
On a PC, where you have the option to use a mouse................which would already make dealing with multiple enemies a lot easier.
Well the port does have mouse issues. But, yes.
Very professional review of a great classic.
Now u gotta play Dead Space 2!
First my fav 3rd person action series and now my fav 3rd person horror series??Am I dreaming
(Note: Don't forget to review Extraction,it's fully playable on Dolphin Emulator)
P.S you should talk more about your Patreon in the beginning of each video!People should notice and support your channel,I know I will
Plasma cutter only runs c:
For EA standards this was an low budget production?
For me personal, Dead Space was a mix between Metroid Prime and Resi 4.
EA did this? That's Unpossible!
This games is fucking awesome. Review Lost Planet 1, 2 and 3
Omg people still remember this game? :o
Dead space 4 -make us whole
