Dead Space is a science fiction survival horror video game, developed by EA Redwood Shores (Subsequently known as Visceral Games) for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was released in October 2008. The game has a strong science fiction atmosphere and is set in a spacecraft. It puts the player in control of an engineer named Isaac Clarke who fights the Necromorphs, the monstrous reanimated human corpses aboard an interstellar mining ship, the USG Ishimura.
Dead Space was met with widespread critical acclaim, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time and sold over 2 million copies. The sequels, Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 were released on January 25, 201 and February 5, 2013 respectively.
Gameplay
The player controls Isaac Clarke, a ship systems engineer who must fight his way through a mining starship infested with an alien scourge. The crew was horrifically slaughtered and their corpses are reanimated into creatures known as "Necromorphs". The various types of Necromorphs appeared throughout the game, each with different abilities and requiring different tactics to defeat. The game is played from an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective.
Dead Space does not use a traditional heads-up display. Instead, all information is relayed to the player via holographic projections from Isaac's Resource Integration Gear (RIG) spacesuit and the weapons themselves. For example, a small holographic display is mounted on Isaac's weapons to indicate the ammunition count while aiming. Also, the health meter is integrated into his suit spine and the spines of the suits that are worn by the other game characters. The player can check the current objectives and the 3D map via the floating holograms that are projected in front of Isaac or access the inventory screen to manage items or choose guns. However, the game still progresses in real-time during these activities so the player remains in danger of being attacked while browsing through menus and the map.
Combat involves a mechanism called "strategic dismemberment" which the player must cut the limbs or sections of the individual Necromorphs off to defeat them. For example, shooting most Necromorphs in the head will have little effect and will only disorient them. However, they can be stopped once the player removes its arms and legs. Depending on how they are wounded, the Necromorphs can adopt new stances and tactics such as sprouting new limbs or giving birth to new enemies in the process.
In keeping with Isaac's profession as an engineer, the weapons in Dead Space are mostly improvised from the mining tools such as a Plasma Cutter (For horizontal and vertical slicing), rotary saw, a hydrazine torch (Repurposed as a flamethrower), a high-energy demolition beam and a cannon that emits powerful shock waves. A military-grade automatic rifle is available and Isaac can also attack the enemies by clubbing them with his weapon or stomping on them. All weapons featured a secondary-fire mode. For example, the Plasma Cutter can be rotated 90 degrees for more effective dismemberment of vertical limbs (Such as legs on a normal bipedal humanoid). The player must scavenge for ammunition and items which are found throughout the ship or dropped by the Necromorphs when they are killed. The automated Stores throughout the ship can be accessed to buy and sell items or store them for later use. The player can use the workbenches to upgrade Isaac's suit and weapons.
Other than weapons, Isaac is equipped with other tools to help him survive, solve puzzles and combat the enemies more effectively. Isaac's Stasis ability can be used to slow the enemies and objects down temporarily and a Kinesis module allows Isaac to move and throw the items sufficiently. The heavy or sharp objects can become improvised projectile weapons. Dead Space features zero gravity environments, through which Isaac can navigate by using magnetic boots. Isaac's suit will protect him from the direct effects of vacuum or toxic environments, but it has a limited air supply and he will eventually suffocate so the player is forced to proceed quickly when in these situations.
Plot
Setting
By the 23rd century humanity began to struggle under energy and resource shortages, which led to world government EarthGov researching solutions. To resolve resource shortages, Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) was formed to use "planet-cracker" spaceships to destroy and mine planets for resources.
To resolve the energy shortage, a team led by Michael Altman was sent to investigate an alien artifact found in the Chicxulub crater, dubbed "The Marker." Made from an unknown, black alien material, the marker was found to emit a sourceless electromagnetic field (EMF), making it a potential source of infinite energy. After a series of mysterious events and Altman's leaking of events, EarthGov unsuccessfully attempted to cover-up its existence. Those who believed Altman's claims saw his murder as martyrdom and markers as a unifying religious symbol, leading to the Church of Unitology's creation.
Wanting to safely harness marker energy, EarthGov reverse engineered Red Markers from bismuth on some of their space colonies, only to discover the EMF that markers emit cause the living to suffer psychoses and hallucinations while making the dead mutate and reanimate as "necromorphs." Knowing Unitologists would seek out additional markers and cause necromorph spread, EarthGov immediately terminated all marker research and prohibited travel to their locations.
