Holy crap. I just bought Dead Space retail for $39.99 this afternoon. This is the most impressed I've been with the opening of a game since Half-Life 2. In the first half hour I've seen some of the best real-time graphics ever done in a game, seen a few interesting sci-fi concepts, oodles of incredibly intricate design. Not to mention, several truly scary moments with awesome gore and physics. The graphics look as good as that Final Fantasy movie that cost $120 million to make in 2001.
I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth! Anything after this first half hour is just gravy!
I had a problem with the game showing a black screen on my 52" LCD. All I had to do was start it on the Dell monitor instead, and up the resolution setting, then switch the display back over to the large panel. For people searching for the problem "I can hear sound but only see a black screen in Dead Space for PC" or "No picture, no graphics in Dead Space on PC" this is a possible solution. I had not realized my big panel could not do 800x600. I suppose without a second LCD you could write your own custom config with a higher resolution before running the game for the first time?
I had no control problems. It looks like people with the varying mouse speed problem don't have Vsync enabled. I love the over the shoulder perspective. The acceleration on the mouse is a bit annoying, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
