A spectacular new zero-gravity detour that takes you from the hangar bay to engineering is just one area that takes advantage of far more liberating flight controls that allow you to manually steer Isaac through space, as opposed to beaming him in rigid straight lines from surface to surface. For starters, you can now shuttle freely back and forth between the tram stations connecting all the different sections of the Ishimura (once you’ve unlocked them), and you can also travel between certain areas on foot via new corridors like those that connect the flight deck to the medical deck, or indeed off your feet in other sections. Although Isaac’s initial arrival in the hangar and flight deck very closely mirrors the layout of the original, it’s not long until you start to notice some substantial differences. Whether you’ve never played them before or are looking to do so again, we highly recommend experiencing the Dead Space series this Halloween season.Not only does the Ishimura look more striking than ever before, it’s also been restructured to encourage more exploration. Lost in this talk, of course, is the sad fact that great games don’t always perform as well as they probably deserve to. It may have sold fewer units than the sequels, but its lesser costs may have had greatly helped the bottom line. So far as that goes, though, it seems that Dead Spacewas a much cheaper production all around. We know that Dead Space 3 also underperformed at retail, but there’s only speculation as it relates to the original Dead Space‘s market success. The full story of Visceral’s closure will likely not be told for months – if it is ever really told at all – but the information that’s been leaked so far seems to suggest that the relative fame of Visceral’s games – notably the Dead Space franchise – didn’t ever seem to translate to tremendous sales.
