Video - The First 45 - Dead Space
Can It Strategically Dismember Our Hearts?
by Raccoonacorn
This week we have a big one for you - Dead Space. With so much hype, the first 45 minutes of this game basically had to be stellar to meet our expectations. Press play for the thrilling conclusion.
This First 45 features Joe and Coop.

At heart, The First 45 is a first impressions video. There's a catch, the impressions we offer are taken solely from the first 45 minutes that we spend playing a game. They say first impressions are the most important, and we feel it is the same with games. If you really aren't pulled into a game within the initial hour, chances are good you won't dig it after that.
There are no exceptions, this is exactly the beginning 45 minutes, from the time we boot up the game. What if the game pulls an MGS and starts with a 30 minute cutscene? That's too bad. We live in a fast pace society, and we don't have time to waste. We just want to play games.

nice review and the game is def. looking good and from the video the sounds are very good.
I love the video heads up display that stays oriented to your character, it's a nice touch. Can't wait to grab a copy of this game!
I really love the audio, and I feel like the suspense is well done. One thing I want to know though: Is there much gunplay in the game? I feel that being able to shoot down everything at a distance takes a lot out of the whole "survival" aspect. I think that's what made Resident Evil less scary. Just run to a chokepoint and mow them down in a single file.
I'm glad this game seems to be living up to the hype, it looked really good from what I saw.
Excellent preview and great choice on parts to show everyone in the video. I'm excited for this game. I can't wait to pick up my copy either today or tomorrow.
I got about two hours in with this game last night. It is absolutely terrifying. The sound design is some of the best I've ever heard.
i think this may be a bit overrated
