Thread 722903978

The more "Dead Space inspired games" that I play the more I realize we are probably never getting another game like Dead Space. I mean, I like Cronos. Hell I even enjoyed The Callisto Protocol, but none of these chumps are Dead Space, not even close.

what are dead space like games? horror games where you kill everything?

Cronos feels like the first attempt of an AI made game. Derivative, simple and linear with the same enemy and the same auto generated UE hallway

>>722903978 (OP)
The Dead Space remake is the best remake ever made. RE4 remake is a close second and second only because of how much more atmospheric the Ishimura is.

>>722904202
Dead Space remake doesn't change my point because that's literally just Dead Space. And yeah RE4R was fantastic but there's some key differences between both games and their approach to action horror.

>>722903978 (OP)
Cronos was absolute dogshit.
>'female protag' has male body
>barely anything is destructible where it would make sense to be because you're a space-age nigga in the 1980's
>this isn't something most question in Dead Space because the environment is space-age tech and a giant fucking spaceship
>the world in Dead Space is closed and narrow, the Ishimura is claustrophobic and you are always pushed on
>there are barely any invisible walls and the environment is carefully made so the destruction of the ship closes you off from exploring beyond the paths shown
>all landscapes and open spaces you see make you go 'Damn, wish I could be there' but you know you can't reach it
>Cronos is open and has invisible walls everywhere around every object whilst the world is open as fuck but you can't get to it
>all it would take is a slight jump over a trench, but no, you're blocked off by god himself
>Dead Space has its necromorphs able to be staggered and ripped apart whereas with Cronos all you can do is shoot their legs to put them down on the ground, otherwise their windup attacks can't be interrupted
>melee attacks aren't worth dick even when an enemy is down whereas they have tangible weight and damage in Dead Space
>Cronos' take on stasis is to attach a wavy laser pointer to your gun and say 'point and click on this orb' to move past a section, no shooting it at enemies to slow them or any puzzle sections that require the player to think for a moment
>mandatory AAA PRESS BUTTON TO INTERACT WITH WORLD to get through sections and climb over obstacles to either load the next section or break up the monotony
It is in every way a shitty game and a shitty excuse of trying to be Dead Space. It does nothing new and doesn't innovate. It is absolute dogshit.
Oh, but you can pet cats!

>>722904502
Oh, forgot to mention
>crafting ooooh collect and craft! Collect scrap metal to make basic supplies when you're a space-age nigga
>what's that? You have a super special nano-tech gun? Why not shoot some of this crappy 1980's shit like the fridges or cash registers and turn them into scrap metal?
>no sorry, your gun can't do that
>also you can't shoot through this glass it's that reinforced stuff
>that can't be shot through by your super special nano-tech gun
There was no thought put into this game beyond 'UHHHH THE VIBES THOUGH, ISN'T IT SO CREEPY HAHA'.

>>722904502
>'female protag' has male body
It's a giant suit of armor what the fuck are you talking about. Can't be bothered to read the rest of this if the bar is already set this low.

>>722904950
Nigga regardless of it being a suit of armour it still fits to the body in some manner.
There is zero ability to distinguish the main bitch as female beyond the voice because she looks as if she's built like a brick shithouse, and in fact seems to use the exact same model as the dead guy she finds and takes the special key thing off.
It was a purposeful decision and it loses points for that.

A must-have mod for the game btw.
Still a bulky suit but now it fits to a female body.

>stomp snow in dead space
>snow rises
>stomp creature in dead space
>creature gets obliterated and all the limbs have physics
>stomp in cronos is just a shitty animation and >you cant interact with the world, its just another barebones ue5 slop

100% AI like, its fucking macabre how empty and souless modern games are

A big issue for me for cronos is the video-gameyness of it is really obvious at times, which pulls the player out of the immersion. Namely the dynamic difficulty scaling with ammo drops is so hilariously obvious when it is feeding the player as you'll get basically nothing for 10 containers in a row, shoot some motherfuckers and suddenly 30 rounds will fall out of a purse or something. If the resource feeding was tuned better this would be one of those things that you just accept because it is a game but as it is so blatant I felt it detracting from the experience. This is something RE4 (both versions really) did well as the resource drops are much more nuanced in quantity.

I'll give cronos some credit as like dead space it tried something different with the combat - the need for charged shots (which slows your movement) for effective gribbly killing. Dead space went for limb removal as its thing.

Side note: cronos has broken HDR out of the box which really annoyed me as the game is very dark in general and a perfect candidate for HDR usage. At least renodx can be used by pc users to make some corrections.

>>722903978 (OP)
This game didn't need to exist.

>>722904950
Look up footage of female divers moving around in bulky scuba gear. They still look like women despite being covered because female biomechanics differ from men's

>>722905305
>is the video-gameyness of it is really obvious at times
What fucking video gameyness, its a literal interactive movie you fucking retard. Total UE5 slop

>>722905423
Divers wear skintight suits, Cronos has a space suit. Maybe look those up.

>>722905489
Give me a recipe for a souffle.

Yawn

>>722905997
The statement was "Divers wear skintight suits"
And your rebuttal was posting a niche type of diver.
Not my fault you're retarded.

Oh something ELSE that fucked me right off.
>Dead Space has you melee with your gun and a loud shout, smacking enemies with your full force
>every gun is animated with Isaac and moves with him perfectly
>Crapshit the New Dick simply makes the space-age nano guns disappear when you melee because they couldn't be fucked with animating any of it whatsoever

>>722906151
So a type of diver that doesn't wear a skintight suit...isn't a diver? You're really going to double down?

>>722904374

fucking kek. keep seething, you mentally broken, terminally online incel. keep coping and seething.

>>722906318
Trannies lost, this terrible game flopped, lmao.

>>722906151
They don't though; some divers wear bulky dive gear like >>722905847
Stick to your 3rd world mother tongue, ESL retard

Anyone notice how enemies barely ever come at you at all until you reach a 'hub' where they all spawn at once?

>>722904374
>Dead Space remake doesn't change my point because that's literally just Dead Space
No, it's Dead Space "reimagined" by talentless modern retards whose understanding of horror peaked at "dark is kinda scary".

No idea what you expected from a studio that needed to be screamed at that they're butchering Silent Hill 2 because they were incapable of noticing it on their own and also had the stunning realization that videogames should have gameplay in them during development of that turd

>>722906439
The croteam game design method I see.

>>722906439
Yeah the game feels very unwilling to push itself in that sense, like it's afraid to pit you against enemies. Dead Space had those arena encounters as well but it also had a lot of enemies roaming the halls, ambushing you in unexpected places, a lot of different stuff. Cronos is "arena, wandering, arena, wandering, arena, wandering" and enemies are hardly present during those wandering phases. And you spend a lot of time wandering in this game, there is a lot of downtime where you're just walking to the next objective. I don't exactly mind this but I can tell this is gonna slaughter the already very little replayability it has.
The game always feels like it's still in some "introductory phase" and has yet to "get going". Like it starts slow, enemies are infrequent, ideas and mechanics are introduced slowly, but it never ramps up or anything, it keeps that pace pretty much the whole game. I still feel like I'm being eased into the game and I'm almost at the fucking end.

WOW, SO STRENUOUS, I FEEL LIKE SUCH A GAMER FIGURING OUT THIS DIFFICULT PUZZLE.

>>722907074
Given how many players couldn't play bioshock that sort of puzzle simplicity is required.

>>722903978 (OP)
>vagina helmet
who thought this was a good idea?

>>722907001
Not to mention the arena encounters themselves are very simple, the hardly ever wants to play around with encounter design, or throw multiple different enemy types at you at the same time.

>>722907238
It is a coomer game anon, what did you expect?

>Shoot a padlock
>It doesn't spark or get destroyed
>It instead explodes into a cloud of wood splinters with the sound of shooting wood

>>722903978 (OP)
This game is turbodogshit for a number of reasons, but the weapons are the biggest example
>your civilization can fucking time travel
>know you're going to fight the meat virus creatures
>the service weapons are basically a pistol, a shotgun and an smg lmao

If you have the tech level for fucking time travel your weapons of choice to kill meat virus zombies should be lightning guns, plasma flamethrowers and gamma ray sterilization lasers or some shit. Not a big iron and a molotov cocktail.

can you people enjoying anything without wanting to fuck the main character?

no wonder white lonely men are lonely. Who things this way and expects someone to be interested in being associated?

Tell me, how many anime figurines do you have?

>>722905064
>it still fits to the body in some manner.

Travellers are mass produced android who's only difference is their voice. Why would she looks female

>>722913315
The lonely white men are the ones modding sexy women into every game.
