So I picked up a copy of Dead Space a few days ago. I wanted to play it for some time and just never got around to it. Then one day I was thinking of all the games I missed that I wanted to play and Dead Space was near the top. I'm on the opening portion of chapter 4.
So far I am enjoying the game. Been shocked a few times, surprised a little more and even disgusted at one point. But I was just thinking about it and I have come to a conclusion. If they(I mean Hollywood) were to make Dead Space into a movie(I hope they never, ever do) I would not see it.
1) It may be made by Uwe Boll and that is never a good thing.
2) If it is good, then it will not be the same as the game(in experience), they most likely will change the story to fit the time frame, which I have no real beef with.
3) If it is a great, scary sci-fi film. It will be true to the game in most aspects. Then I will remember watching Alien, Polterguise and the end of Event Horizon. At which point I will scream till I pass out and need to watch 4 comedies just to counter the images of the film.
4) I am fine with the game. I'm not really sure exactly why. I'm not a big horror game player. Aside from Resident Evil 2, 4, 5 and Dead Space I haven't play that many others.
So yea, fine with video game horror, not so much with film horror. Anyway, Dead Space is turning into a great game. I'm playing it on easy for right now, just to see what the game is like. After a short break I'll give it the respect it deserves and play it on the other difficulties. But that is going to be some time as I am now juggling three games at once. All of which included shocks and lots of blood, more then any horror film could hold. Still I'm enjoying them.
Till I think of something worth writing for you all(I'm running low on subjects, suggestions would be appreciated).
