Dead Space Preview
Thought Doom 3 was scary. Dead Space would make you crap in your pants. The guys over at Shacknews got a chance to try it out and by there experience, it sure looks to be a true horror game, maybe scarier than Doom 3.
The emphasis of of the game is on “strategic dismemberment”, so for survival, you will have to take down you enemies limb by limb. Don’t expect to kill enemies by head shot or by blasting them in the chest. Imagine the atmosphere when 2-3 beast are coming towards you and you have no where to run but to take them down, that to limb by limb.
The game will give you some cool futuristic weapons no doubt. There will be a cool gun called ‘The Ripper’ which will fire small saw blades which will be then held in place by a beam. Moving the beam can then allow you to saw your enemies into pieces. You will also have some powers that will allow you to slow down enemies for a few seconds. The game will allow you to carry limited inventory. So you have to decide if you want to carry extra health packs, ammunitions or the energy packs. You can also sell your extra ammo and spend the money on up gradation your armor.
The game will have a huge fear factor. Imagine seeing a harmless baby who suddenly sprouts three tentacles and shoots deadly spikes with it. You may find the area to be empty only to see a monster spring out from no where. The point is, you can never feel safe in the game, surprises will also be there for you.
The game is coming out for XBOX 360 and PS3 on October 14 and for the PC on October 20. Till then, have a look at the video to see what I was talking about.
