When did we get a title change, and why doesn't it involve spinach?

Watched all three Callisto vods mostly in a row. The games story was pretty interesting, and it certainly looked fun. Never gonna buy it though, the reliance on the evasion system is something I could never get used to. Though I did get a chuckle when I realized that CJacobs was playing a dude named Jacob.

My only real gripes were,
1: The 2 headed boss 1-shots, it' should've at least been 2 hits minimum.
2: The small stack sizes for ammo, and non-stackability of batteries. Since the HC could load 10 rounds the ammo should have stacked to 20 at the minimum.
3: The lack of a button to play audio logs you just picked up. every other game with audio logs had one, but Idon't see CJ do it once, but that might have just been him. IDK.
4: CJ calling all the prison GUARDS "wardens" for all three streams. Dude there's only ONE Warden in any prison, and they're the one in charge, the ones watching the prisoners are the Guards/Jailers/Correctional Officers! Not Wardens. While the names might change between countries, I'm fairly certain NOBODY calls a guard a warden, except a maybe in a fictional story.

I am offended by several things in the Callisto Protocol, the first is that the cargo section of the ship is tiny, roughly comparable to the crew section, the second is that very little of the cargo in containerized, and the rest is break bulk, not even palletized. I do enjoy, however, that the guilt ghost is ultimately a helpful creature that leads to realization and meaning.



Also that was some A tier editing.

Thank you folks a lot for the compliments to the editing so far. I try to use the royal 'we' as much as I can because my bros rule, but the editing itself is all done by me and so for the props about it you folks deserve props right back. Thanks for being cool enough to bring it up.

Cleaning gears is a lot more fun when you get to do it with heavy ordnance.

You know the end of that sequence shows that Dead Space 3 kind of took the tension out of getting sucked into space. You're encased in power armor with plenty of air and rocket boots. Stop scrambling against the vacuum and just go with it, you'll be fine.

Oh my god the remake comes out tomorrow, holy poo poo you guys I am so utterly excited and barely have words to express my faith in Motive to deliver an envelope with a love letter to Dead Space inside, to my eyes it looks like care was taken in every respect from the sound to the visuals to the acting performance itself with consideration to who is doing that acting to create a video game that stands apart from the original completely while also retaining its core identity.

Just thought I'd mention. Share your fond Dead Space memories if you like, the LP's currently on IRL rain delay and not just thanks to Motive's seemingly incredible work on the remake! Personally that first slasher playing dead in the cargo hold will live in utter infamy, it is just a perfect collision of player choice and awareness versus the desire to create something every player will encounter, and Visceral pulled it off flawlessly. The creepy-rear end shadow just crossing the hall as you approach, the orchestra leaves the theater, the light at the end flickers as you approach with caution to reveal a slasher that has long since died. OR HAS IT?

My dad and I both leapt a foot in the air.

I'm not big on horror. Have I mentioned that before? Probably have.

I don't like jump scares. I don't like that "pa-pow pa-pow" that your heart does after something leaps out at you.

Having said that, I really liked Dead Space. I love that there's no HUD or UI, and it's all "in-universe", i.e. Isaac's RIG and so-on. And you can see other characters' RIGs as well, and those correspond to their health, which is a cool touch.

I love how the intro goes, where they're docking with the Ishimura. I love the scale of the spaceships, and the speed as they arrive, and the noise. It's all so well done, and I love it. And it's not a pre-rendered video, which is the best part. Isaac is strapped in, but you can still move the camera around.

Been posting about it everywhere so why not here as well: The remake is truly, truly amazing. I feel humbled standing in it looking around at the sheer effort that had to go into replicating Dead Space without copying it. The sheer effort. Thank you to everyone who joined me for the stream, I'm so so glad we got to capture that first time experience and the utter enthusiasm live. And we've only made it to chapter 5 so far!!

CJacobs posted:

This game is seriously unbelievable. I'm only to Chapter 5, just completed the ADS sequence, and the remake has completely blown me away, stands firm as a love letter to the entire series while retaining its own unique identity. It feels like someone threw every Dead Space game in a blender and stuck the result in an IV straight into my veins. It's everything I wanted and vastly, vastly more. The developers at EA Motive took steps to establish the foundation of Dead Space all over again, and then built an entire skyscraper of their own on top of it. A truly astounding level of care and attention to detail with respect to the original. This must be how Resident Evil fans feel!

Everything I've seen of Dead Space Remake has been beyond amazing. I never buy games at full price any more, but the second it goes on sale I'm getting it. I REALLY hope Motive gets the chance to take a crack at Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, because if they put the same amount of work and care into those two as they did this one, they would be phenomenal.

I think the consensus is that this is a remake done right. It's not just a remaster, or a reinterpretation. They took the best parts of the original (story, atmosphere), and added new things (how you access locked doors, being able to navigate within the entire ship).

It's still "Isaac-Clarke-explores-the-Ishimura", but it's "How would Dead Space be if it were made in 2023".

That about right?

I think it's set the bar to judge all other video game remakes moving forward. I'm only on chapter 3/4, but unless there's a steep nosedive in quality somewhere in the future, it really is that good.

Dead Space is now permanently archived on the vod channel! It blew me away completely. Bear witness to the fruits of love and labor of hundreds- In my opinion, Motive has pulled the gambit off with aplomb. They've created the perfect remake of the Ishimura and its hallowed, foggy halls.

One of the coolest little details was that his stomp dialogue seemed to get more angry as the game goes on. Early he doesn't curse at all unless you really go for it, later it only took a couple!

Here is part 2 of the stream! I'm having a hell of a time archiving this, YouTube for some reason really doesn't like processing it! That said, enjoy 10 more hours of Dead Space!! Motive's reimagining of the game continues to astound. New threats, new arrivals, new greebles around every corner! And it is so utterly terrifying and gorgeous.
