Dead Space™

Better experience with a controller. Vsync in option game limit to 30 fps, for 60 fps use Vsync of your GC option. Dead Space looks too bright on PC. Simply putting the brightness down in game is not enough ( or option of my screen ). I use "Vanilla Fix (for Brightness problem)" preset with SweetFX. This preset don't change the original experience. It fix the brightness problem & just add more colour, but not too much. Perfect in my opinion. Thx to daAmazinFatB0y. The game? A classic horror sci-fi story. Great ambiance, visual ( try the preset, really :) ) & sound. Puzzle too easy. Some weapon are really useless. Thx Issac don't speak ! Good game, the best of the trilogy. Its story is sufficient in itself. My advice : start with the hard difficulty.

This is by far the scariest video game I've ever played and the best in the dead space series. The latter two improve on combat and add some cool weapons and ways to move around, but they lack the feel of the first game. You play as Isaac, an engineer sent with a team to a mining ship that's gone silent to see if you can recover it. What you discover there is a complete nightmare of alien lifeforms taking over, and you're thrown into a quest to try to survive and make it home. Along the way you discover bits and pieces of what happened to the ship and it's really eerie. What makes the game so scary is the over the shoulder camera view gives you just enough vision but not quite enough to see what's to your side or around the corner. So stuff pops out at you all the time and it never ceases to be scary. You'll hear sounds of necromophs (the alien lifeforms) coming and start scanning the room, is it over there, no here! And all the sudden a bunch of them are on you tearing you to pieces and you're flailing your weapon frantically to try to escape. It's frightening to be stalked in such a manner. And even more frightening when you know you're about to enter a room full of them low on ammo... Another cool thing I liked is Isaac never talks in this one and you never see his face. It makes you really feel like you *are* Issac since he's not revealed as a character. The later two he talks freely and you see his expressions all the time so it feels like you are playing as a pre-existing character, not experiencing the horror first hand. It was a somewhat minor design decision but it makes a really big difference in game feel imo. Just get this game, it's awesome. It plays fine with mouse and keyboard or a controller.

I have Dead Space on both Orgin and Steam, and found it unplayable. The Issue is the Camera spins uncontrollably around the Characters head and cannot be stopped. I am currently running Windows 10. It is possible that this may not be an issue with the GOG download, however if it is there with two other providers then the chances are good that the GOG version will have the same problem.

I'm still in-game, so cannot rate it as a whole, but more important is that "bad controls issue" is fixable. Basically, you need to stick as close to 60FPS whole in-game time as possible. Going more or less will cause infamous mouse/camera horrid performance. Thing is, just vertical sync is not enough - you need your GPU PRODUCING 60 FPS, not just sending 60 frames at the output. Now short to do: 1. Turn in-game Vert sync OFF (bugged). 2. Turn driver Vert sync "Always ON". 3. Use Framerate Limiter tools - try driver options first, but my AMD settings did not do that correctly. 4. In case previous step did nothing, use special Framerate Limiter software (at your own risk, ' course). I use and recommend RadeonPro.

In addition, just to be sure, activate "Lock frame rate up to monitor's refresh rate" in Tweaks tab also. I'm sure NVidia also has similar software available somewhere. Good luck and have fun.

A black screen every time I launch the game, I tried every fix and still nothing. This is present in the steam version as well, and there is no fix patch from either distributor or the devs.
