The Seventh Generation Retrospective - Dead Space - How EA Motive Can Improve The Original
Dead Space, a cult classic survival horror game which was born from the mind of industry veteran developer Glen Schofield takes its inspirational roots from the Resident Evil series and strives with its primary theme, outer space. The game combines the over-the-shoulder perspective of Resident Evil 4 with seamless menu interaction and in-game cutscenes with skill trees, tightly scripted metroidvania level design, and a well crafted unpredictable story all wrapped up in some of the most solid eight hours I've experienced in this medium.
What Visceral games achieved with this game can not be understated or frowned upon. Even with some of the drawbacks, this game is still one of the best ever developed within its genre.
