More DLC, seems to be mostly texture alterations with minor tweaks as with the first game.

Can someone post pic from main menu screen? Is there Store as console versions...

 

There is no in-game store as such, for the console editions I think that's the X360/PSN store links, I guess.

 

Some other questions too

1. Is there achievements?

2. Is multiplayer P2P with matchmaking?

3. Did u get original plasma cutter?

4. What about bugs? Is there any major ones?

 

Yeah, I read you can load the original save from Dead Space for bonus stuff, at least on the Consoles, I hope you can do this on the PC, too, like Mass Effect.

 

With a savegame from Ignition (X360 prequel, might be on PS3 as well, collection of mini-games / EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kTqHIFV8ZE .) you get a hacker suit, with a savegame from DS1 you get the original version of the cutter.

Multiplayer from how it looks is P2P

No achievements.

Haven't noticed any issues but just started with the game.
(Which is how I mentioned earlier the gamma correction tweak by using negative value seems to be effective here as well, performance is great and the controls don't lag to name some things you'll notice early.)

EDIT: With the CE edition you get a force gun as well.
(As linked to above "steampunk" pack DLC for Dead Space 1 is where it came from originally.)

 

Yeah, sadly the PC got no DLC the first time, most likely not now, either.

 

I've tried MSAA,SSAA,MLAA in 11.1a hotfix CCC, it seems only MLAA worked in Dead Space 2

 

Anyone else having an issue playing so far? This game is running slow as molasses on my machine and I have no good explanation for it. I can barely run through the game without ridiculously slow frame rates and stutters.

Specs I have are up to date and I have cat 10.12

 

update to Cat 11.1a hotfix or hotfix Jan26, and patch Cat APP 10.12 cap2, it runs smoothly on my machine.

 

Anyone else not getting shadow casting from flashlight on PC?!

AFAIK, the PS3 demo I played had shadow cast from flashlight and DS1 also had it. I'm not getting any on PC?

 

**** sake.

This and the new dlc announced on release day, that won't be coming to PC.

Seriously, do EA WANT people to pirate their ****ing games.

Is it some kind of "burning rome" philosphy? Martyr your game so you can blame it on a problem, get a reaction and than the big industry poses a solution (selling half games).

People just seem to not have any level of QA going on, and no standards. the game is your ****ing baby. Why kill it.

 

the game looks great, but didn't had time to play it for long..to much work

 

I really hate when the light/shadow intensive game doesn't have cast shadow for whatever reason. It looks dull.

However, fortunately....










DS2 seems to have'em. thank god.
Not my screenshot tho.
man, those textures on Isaac still horrible, actually it was the most horrible thing about the original DS.
Still waiting to get my copy shipped.

 

The whole game looks much cleaner visually this time around.

I noticed there is no 'motion blur' option in the screens of the options on the other page, please tell me it's not some 'always on' type of deal...

I assume the 'blur' option is related to effects from say the contact gun.

 

If you mean my screens of the settings menu that's a oversight by me, scrolled all the way up and then all the way down the one setting not visible as it's in the middle is motion blur.
