Dead Space 2

I suggest you guys load up your old saves then, one of the middle to later chapters. It was framerate drop galore.

Not an option for me since I sold the game after I finished it but I never noticed it at all and I'm pretty sensitive to choppy framerates.  In fact, one of the things I particularly remember from Dead Space was that it was one of the first multiplatform games I played on PS3 where I never felt like the experience was hampered or second rate.

I have a Slim model, could that be affecting it?

[Kevin Grey]

Doubtful.  You may just have had some unique situations that may have hurt the framerate here or there that most people wouldn't encounter.

My experience on the 360 was seamless as well. 

[Ridah]

That's it, I'm about to load up a save and use my video camera to record myself playing through a chapter  I... Am... Not... Crazy!!

[TiLT]

I would think I'd have noticed choppy framerates myself, but never noticed anything at all.

LOL awesome.  I am rather excited for this game as well

Here's a synopsis for those who haven't been keeping track:

Dead Space 2 picks up 3 years after the original game. Isaac finds himself on the Sprawl, which was the site of the very first planetcrack on Saturn’s moon Titan. I don’t want to go into too much detail as that would start to tread into spoiler territory, but as you can imagine some bad shit goes down and Necromorphs get into the mix.

+1 The first Dead Space was the best survival horror I've ever played.  The sound alone was worth the price

Woo I can't wait!  HD Extraction is just icing on the cake!!

[biggercup]

I wonder if EA will bring XBOX 360 version of Extraction...maybe with Natal support?

[Turtle]

Anyone posted the Sony portion of the DS2 gameplay showing? I want to see how Isaac gets away from that big thing in the vents.

You can be sure that Extraction will make its way to the 360, but it may be separate in some way if Sony's paid for this exclusive. Paid DLC or even an XBL game?

It was actually a bit of a letdown - more shooting at yellow glowing spots while hanging by a foot. Looked exciting, though.

Unless MS is going to launch new peripherals, it's  hard to imagine how a lightgun game like Extraction would work with Kinect.

You just have to point at the screen with your hand and say "pew, pew, pew".

I picture it more as striking a pose and yelling 'HADOKEN!'

I may be a Dead Space fanboy, but I thought the conclusion was pretty good and showed some cool new stuff!

[Turtle]

Yep, although it was still shooting the glowing yellow thing while a necromorph is grabbing you, but those segments are still pretty intense and well animated.

Also, just the fact that there's a human military ship shooting at Isaac is a sign things will get interesting.

There was a key in the first game, but it was all messy...this is the first real good key I've found.  I've been dying to translate the messages they put on everything!

[Teggy]

Drill a hole in my head now!

[Soulchilde]

i never played Dead Space...maybe I should

[Caine]

i never played Dead Space...maybe I should

i never finished it.  played through the first few chapters as i recall.  something about getting it right in the middle of a holiday season left me feeling like i missed the boat when it launched. 

[TiLT]

You should. It's like a sci-fi Resident Evil 4 that is more scary.

Altman be praised

Possibly the best game that I played on the 360. Polished and satisfying gameplay. Bought it thanks to the forum effect years back and never regretted it.

Wow looks like you don't need the Move to play Extraction HD!?  Also looks like it will be for sale on the PSN (and I'd assume XBL, too)
