Why Was Dead Space 1 SO AWESOME?!

The horror genre of gaming seems to have all but died out as far as Triple A gaming is concerned. But there was one game that came out 10 years ago, that forever changed the way I looked at horror games: Dead Space...

I think that Issac being a silent protagonist in the first game was one of my favorite parts of the game. A man of Action not words

[@doomslayer1210]

I think that’s the worst part of DS1. Him showing not emotion or not talking when he definitely should just comes off as awkward. Hammond literally gets kill brutality in front of Issac and he really doesn’t have anything to say. I’m glad they are going to make him talk

DS 3 was actually pretty good, you people just didn't give it a fair chance in it's own right. You look at Microtransactions and refuse to play a game you bought, despite having no clue if they actually affect gameplay balance at all. Spoiler: It doesn't. You can fully max yourself out in a single playthrough and have powerful guns without MTs at all. Also the 3rd one does have some pretty decent scares and dark atmosphere.

[@tiagoduro5523]

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Speaking of Isaac’s suit, I recall reading somewhere that the developers took some inspiration from hard hat diving suits, especially those designed for industrial areas where the person wearing the suit is expected to be repairing a piece of equipment while completely submerged. Watching the footage you’ve captured after all the years since I last played Dead Space or its sequels, I can definitely appreciate the rugged utilitarian aesthetic they were going for in regards to Isaac’s iconic suit.

[@adioamigo22]

DS2 did a really good job of showcasing that inspiration with the vintage engineer suit. It's bulkier, has an air tank on the back, and the suit has couplings for the gloves and boots instead of looking like armor plating over a body glove.

[@blueshit199]

I greatly appreciate the aesthetic in Dead Space 1, while it's already going for a stylized look, it's still feeling gritty, not like modern sci-fi where everything is designed like it's meant to look appealing to the game's publisher, with clean and curvy look to everything

[@Fi_Sci_]

I feel Dead Space 1 had the best Suit Designs as well, and the natural progression of Isaac’s engineer Rig into full on Body Armor was great. Something the future games didn’t nail quite as well with the exceptions being the advanced suit and Arctic Survival suit in my opinion which had great aesthetic to them. It would be cool if in The Dead Space Remake, instead of finding Suit Schematics, you would find them on the bodies of previous engineers who died during the Outbreak. Not a required change, but nonetheless would make the player feel more vulnerable and paranoid since even the strongest Rig wouldn’t be enough protection from the Necromorphs.

[@crd88918]

this is a really cool idea!

[@spiffinggoose1585]

The suit would take up 1 inventory slot just like the schematic and then you can take it to the shop to fix using credits. It would still have you buy the RIG’s but it would look and feel so much better.

[@CharlemagneGuy127]

Would be a neat idea to improve upon the set dressing and immersion instead of all “pay money for upgrade” like your usual video game tropes.

[@geraldyeager7652]

I feel you, but I kinda see why the suits in Dead Space 3 look somewhat shitty is because your using 200 year old rigs rather than the modern in the year 2514.

This game was an incredible experience...first time I played it, I had 2 friends over late on Halloween night, and we stayed up until the sun came up playing through the game. Best way I can explain it is.. playing this game for the first time was like experiencing the movie Alien for the first time. It was that damn good.

[@diy_mushroomguy]

The gravity of that comparison is overwhelmingly underrated. At least I think it is. Because cosmic horror is a hard genre to get right. Let's be glad we didn't necessarily get what Alien was originally written as. "Space Trucker's" isn't nowhere near as terrifying as "Alien" was. It's kinda funny how O'Bannon and Shuster I guess tried selling there screenplay. Described it as it's like truckers, but in space lol.

Hell yea played when i was 5 im 11 now it was scary shit

[@randobandobby6443]

the biggest reason why I like Isaac Clarke is simple, he has a gun and is scared and alone. He is a badass that realistically does not want to be in the situation he is in. A lot of Indie horror deals with characters who are scared and when they meet the monster they push and run away, and if it gets them well they are dead. Isaac (to me at least) is that human feeling of "oh Shiz I don't wanna die" and in a last ditch effort for survival we swing for the fences. a lot of his struggle animation is him not only overcoming the beast but punching it and stomping it to a bloody mess. Hell if Isaac was in a horror movie he would absolutely be the type of guy to "Double tap", "Triple tap"... "Multi tap", the Monster once it's down, not turn around and say "well glad that's over." But I also love the fact that he is scared, he isn't a badass that KNOW's he is going to win in the end, He is a normal dude who is an engineer in the most horrible situation ever. But does he give up? no, Should he give up? maybe. Is he going to give up? fuck no. He is going to Hail Mary this shiz and hope he makes it to the other side.

Graphics suck in those games but they're not cartoonish or like you're reading a comic book. I wasn't a fan of fallout 4 either. It was too colorful and the b.s. with dialogue and dumbing it down so that COD players might buy it pisses me off to no end.

I remember playing dead space 2 and by the time I returned to the ishimura I was low on health, I had like 5 shots in my plasma cutter, I had no money, and I had nothing else. For the majority of the walk through the ishimura I feel like I was reliving the horror I felt when I first entered it in the first dead space. I felt hopeless, I felt dread, I felt fear that I haven't felt since the first game. I find a broom that I can use with kinesis to impale the limbs. I slowly continue to scour the ship not finding anything realizing it has no supplies. And thats when I got to the big room with the two brutes, and several of the impaler babies and the suicide ones. I was very lucky with a couple of my shots with the broom to the suicide babies to decapitate the heads and use them against the brutes weak spot. I had a sliver of health left and somehow I finally managed to get them all using the brooms, the babies, and 3 of the 5 shots I had left. I managed to scrounge up some more ammo, health packs, and credits. That is the kind of fear I love to feel when I play games like that

[@AIIEYESONME]

To add that feeling of isolation, is the feeling of no control,. Let's talk about the mechanics and enemy AI. The game play didn't make you feel like an unstoppable bad ass, but a bad ass non the less. But the mechanics were tougher then just mowing down baddies with an AR with a huge clip. Or sniping head shots, or blowing them away with a big fucking shot gun. No, you had an engineering tool, that was bad ass but could easily miss, and very limited ammo (at least on hard). Which made you always have to sit up, and pay fucking attention to every shadow, every noise. Situational awareness was crucial, and tense. Most FPS games or 3rd person, whathaveyou, is fun, yeah, challenging, sure, but are you sitting up, ears perked, dialed in at every moment? No, we're sitting back feet up, having a thrill shooting the hell out of enemies that are more meant to die, then to actuality kill you .

Still, the Dead Space series had one of the best storylines I've ever seen in a game. Idk if this was intentional or not, but floating around in space has always been one of my biggest 'fears' lmao. Obviously having a cool space suit/power armor makes it a lot less 'dangerous'. But if your suit randomly lost power, you'd basically die lol. A tiny crack in your gear could lead to death. Not to mention any kinda high-speed maneuvers would be extremely difficult or even fatal, especially over long periods of time.

[@DamnMixes]

typical, ea is what is good at...destroying games

[@valen9835]

The best option is to remaster the first two games, fix the bad checkpoints, make good pc ports, and make Dead Space 3: The Visceral cut. This would be the dead space 3 visceral wanted to make, using leaked ideas as a basis to help create the dead space 3 we all wanted. I don't think a reboot would be the right way to go, because than Isaac would probably talk, and while I love Gunner Wright as Isaac, the first game is better without a voiced protagonist. The game's atmosphere would not work if Isaac talked. Even worse, with how EA works, they wouldn't bring back Gunner to voice Isaac, because why stay consistent and bring back a fantastic voice actor when we can save some money and just have one of our speed dial voice actors play the part.

the fact that ISAAC doesn't say 1 word makes this game even scarier.

I also love how you don't see his face until the end when he takes off the helmet for the first time, and he looks like he's seen some shit to say the least! And you know it because you were there and experienced those horrors with him. Absolutely perfect.

I just beat this game for the first time, and it was amazing. It was easily one of the best horror games I'd played through in some time.

[@Bug13]

One of my favorite games, right behind Bioshock 1. Played though both at least 3 times and about to start Bioshock again this weekend since I never played the remastered version and never on the Playstation so I figured it will be a new experience for me. Never ended up finishing Dead Space 2 or 3 since I just couldn't get into them like I did the first one. I can't wait for them to remaster Dead Space so I can make another couple of weekends out of it, this time on a huge screen, in the dark and the surround sound turned all the way up..

F.E.A.R. (first one) also had one of the best horror atmosphere, AI and a lot more. Maybe you could make a video on this game too

[@xxzghostxxz2165]

to me F.E.A.R 2 was the scariest one out of the series.

[@Totone56]

@Techstorm2065 F.E.A.R 2 was actually awesome ! Maybe lacking the atmosphere of the first one, but awesome nonetheless

Hate Fear because of all the jumpscares, I like horror games with creepy atmosphere without being loud as fuck, an screaming my headphones of the ears.

[@viceonrice321]

@@pavma7 same jumpscares are cheap but effective if used well but I remeber my first terrifying atmosphere was halo ce when u get introduced to the flood

Act Man: We made it... I can't believe we made it! Man on screen: Son you just ran across the hall, let's not throw a party... Until we fix the ship. I died from laughter.

15:00 I wonder how this compares to *Control or Quantum Break.* *14 years later, with a Remake trailer out with developers* explaining how the remaster is in the works, I finally rushed back to this game I haven't touched since 2013 and gave its first mission a try. The one you showed. It leaves me... wanting to know what other weapons and enemies and characters and possibilities exist. If only I wasn't so scared of how real they still come off.

[@alexico909]

I remember when I very first played this, I thought pausing it would stop the tension, I was so wrong
