Bringing up Isaac’s projected menu in real-time preserves the immersion and immediacy.

In-universe UI: Back in 2008 Dead Space’s projected user interface was ahead of its time, and today it still feels futuristic. It’s to be determined if this incorporates new weapon mechanics, or simply additional enhancements to damage, reload speed, ammo capacity, etc. Motive keeps players on their toes with the Intensity Director, which will ratchet up suspense with creepy noises like creaking vents, surprised like bursting pipes, and unexpected necromorph attacks.Įxpanded weapon upgrade paths: What good is hunting for bonus resources without a place to invest them? New weapon upgrade items can be attached to the Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle, and more to add extra upgrade paths to spend nodes. Intensity director: But don’t let your guard down just because you’re returning to known territory. One locked door even involves a new side quest revealing a bit more about Isaac’s missing partner, Nicole. This incentivizes players to return to previously cleared areas to uncover resources and upgrade materials. Incentivized exploration: Locked doors and loot containers have been added to the Ishimura, which Isaac can access after acquiring upgraded security clearance. It’s a feast for the senses and draws you in deeper to the experience. A combination of effects explode into action as the giant machinery kicks online – giant pieces of the machine rumble violently, sparks fly as metal grinds, the huge swinging arm casts large shadows against the orange auxiliary power lights. Later in chapter 3 Isaac restarts the Ishimura’s centrifuge.

Big moments feel bigger: The vivid lighting and visual effects make dramatic moments feel even more impressive.
