Space jeans protect you from the vacuum of space better then any air tight space suit ever could.

i will watch this entire game on someones youtube channel because I am too dam old to still jump from games. Dead Space 1 bought out the bitch in me when trying to play it in the dark with 5.1, too tense man! Love horror films and shit but the games are just too intense. SHAT MYSELF... just had to say it.

Am I mistaken, or is like the first thing yous see in the first game Isaac's face?  I thought seeing him sans mask was no big deal.

Brad has a copy of and has played the PS3 version and preferred it. The choice of the 360 version for this video was probably just chance. 
 
He also states how he wants to check out the PC as the higher res would look so much better (but they rarely show those for multplatform quick-looks as the majority of people would likely get the game on consoles and it makes more sense to show the more widely played one). 
 
If you're suggesting that the Xbox version is usually inferior though when compared with the PS3, then most multiplatform comparisons would beg to differ...

Shoot the civilians. SHOOT THEM.
 @sofacitysweetheart: The hacking minigame is totally different from Arkham Asylum. It actually looks more like they got their inspiration from that one scene in Metropolis where the guy had to match the arms of a clock up to blinking numbers.

 I'm not usually this rude, but your disingenuous smiley faces and flippant rejection of Dead Space make you seem like a pretty unpleasant guy.

Brad: Yeah just like Resident Evil 5 
Vinny: OH BOY! 
 
This made me laugh because I had the same issue with Resident Evil 5 and I now know I will have the same issue with Dead Space

Kind of bummed that you didn't show some of the multiplayer. Would have liked to see how diverse it was, the modes etc. Not that its gonna keep from buying the game, but still, would have been nice to see it in the QL :)

Bought this game on Steam and waiting for activation on Jan. 28th, I am currently in Europe so I won't get to play it until then. Looking forward to this awesome game.

@JayCee: Yeah I saw that, but I was thinking more in forms of their opinion on the finished product. Modes, progression etc. The beta as I remember it was more a glimpse of the gameplay and not much else? But thanks for the heads up.

Due to HDCP limitations on the PS3 and scan rate problems with most PC games, the 360 is by far the easiest platform to pull the highest quality video from. With respect to Quick Looks and the like, that's all that matters.

The tools used in Dead Space 1 were MINING tools because they were on a MINING vessel. If you go and read the descriptions for some of the weapons, their use in mining shit is even explained. Last time I checked, using a plasma cutter to chop rocks to bits is not an engineer's job.

When Vinny said "I have no legs" I wonder if that was a reference to the 1995 film 'Kids'.

Not sure how Brad is padding the single player out that long....I wasn't doing a speed run and it took me 7:20 to finish it. Awesome game though.

Props for namedropping the Doom 2 Archvile. First thing I thought when I saw those birdies in the first game was "Aw.. gattem archviles! Gotta kill em first!"
