Dead Space - which platform? Dilemma

I have tried it on the PS3 and my PC. I like it better on the PS3. One of the main reasons is it feels like the "camera" is closer to the character on the PC version. Almost like it is squished up to his back. I didn't get that feeling on the PS3 version. It's less claustrophobic.

Crazy. A rig like that and you want to play the PS3 version? Could it be you sit further away from a screen when using the PS3. The graphics can't compare, do they?
 
wow that vid on youtube was awesome, a spoiler since im not done with it, thanks to too much left 4 dead, but wow
 
PC version looks the best and the controls are fully customisable (if you know what you're doing and don't mind using 3rd party apps to get it the way you want it)
 
The game is 40 bucks for PC on steam. The 360 and PS3 is 60 bucks which I don't exactly understand. I was thinking of buying it for the PS3, is it worth it at all to get it for the PS3? Because 20 bucks savings just seems to about seal it for me on the PC.
 
get it for PC because you can play it like this :)
Ugh, sorry, but the gaps in between the monitors just ruin everything for me I don't know about you.

To answer OP's question, you should get it for the console, because I heard so many complaints about PC controls for the game.
 
I prefer the mouse and keyboard. The controls on the PC work fine, and if you use a pad, they are the same as a console. It looks better on the PC, and it's cheaper. I can't really think of any reason that a console version would be better short of a large screen, (if you don't already have your PC hooked up to one.) I'm not complaining about the console versions at all. They're fine. It's just that on the PC it looks a bit better, and for me the mouse+kb beat the gamepad. I have a couple of 360 pads for my PC, and I still think this game plays better with the mouse.

I still don't understand why people think the controls are broken on the PC version. It's been fairly well established that you just need to turn off VSync in the game, and then force it through the driver (if you want it on,) and then everything works fine. VSync is broken in the game, and this is the root of all the issues people seem to complain about. Simple fix. If you think you might like the PC controls better, or the somewhat enhanced visuals, I wouldn't let the silly "the controls are broken" comments deter you, as it works just fine once VSync is off in the game menu.
 
Meh, I enjoy it on the PS3. Just feels good in my living room on my big screen with my sound system.
Its awkward playing a shooter with a gamepad, but I find it adds to the clunkyness and atmosphere.
Its not like Isak is a quick guy in a jogging suit. Hes an engineer using a big clunky suit with mag boots. Hes an odd, hunched guy, the difficulty of the controller just felt right for once.
 
get it on console as long as you have good speaker / tv + comfortable couch
 
One question, does the PC version support 360 or other controllers? I am planning to get it for PC, but want to stick with controller controls. Controller is way to go for third persona shooters

It works perfectly with the 360 controller.
 
Heard about this game coming to the Wii, I'm definitely going to have to check it out.
