In this issue, I bring you developer blog updates and the story trailer of Dead Space. Finally!
On 20 May 2008, one of the developers, Chuck Beaver has updated his blog, shed light on the story itself and Isaac Clarke's suit. As mentioned in my previous update, it's named the Rig which grants the wearer basic armor protection, zero gravity abilities and lastly, air supply which is located at the back of the suit.
Firstly, let me break down Chuck Beaver's blog. He talks about:
- The storytelling techniques used in Dead Space.
- The props, sets and locations in the game, all play a part in storytelling.
- Foundations of the story like the culture, religious influences, origins of the ship, planets etc.
- The making of Isaac's suit, for real.
- Answers to community questions plus a hint of the next update.
Isaac's suit was never an imagination. It was for real. The developers went to the extent of creating a real life size suit, seemingly a replica of the one in the game. Below is an extract from the blog:
''...My newFor more information about the suit and developer updates, head now to http://deadspace.ea.com/blog/.
buddy Sid over at Nightmare Armor Studios is busy pouring over schematics and pics of the armor bits on Isaac’s suit, and is firing up his resin casting and automotive-quality painting skills. Chris Stone, our Animation Director, is apparently a closet-prop-maker, and was trolling our Want Ads the other day for a table-saw he could borrow for a few weeks. He also has my copy of the life-size orthographic print-outs of the Plasma Cutter, and was saying something about his elite dry-brushing skills..''
Not done yet! Even more interesting updates await.
New Screens!
Well, that's all for now. Personally, I can't wait to play the game, seeing a solid storyline that I would want to know and of course the horror experience they claimed would the best of all. On the next update, I will post my very own top 5 sci-fi horror games to date and much more of Dead Space! Stay tuned!
