The demo is finally out. Graphics have improved and gameplay is more smooth and fluidlike. The necromorphs will drop after a few shots only to get up again when you get close. Blood and sfx are more gory too.

New video preview by gamespot.com. I won't watch it seeing as the game comes out in 10 days but I thought I'd post it up anyway for everyone else who's interested...

Yeah came out today. Mine arrived yesterday... thanks ebgames :)

Basically the same as the 1st game just the usual changes - tweaked graphics, new bad guys and weapons. that being said, gameplay feels different (not so much claustrophobic as before) and multiplayer is really cool. The story is also a lot more indepth compared to the first one.

I'm hoping lot's of people play multiplayer. It's more fun than I thought it would have been.

If anyone else gets the game let me know. The more the merrier.

One team is monsters, the other is humans.

The humans need to complete an objective and the monsters need to stop them. You then switch sides after each round.

The human side can only die once but require more hits to kill. Monsters get killed easily but can respawn by choosing a respawn point within the map. The objectives vary as well. The game requires a lot of teamwork.

As you progress and gain higher levels/rank, you can upgrade your guns and such (if you're human) or upgrade your killing abilities and skills (if you're necromorph).

I think there may be some youtube videos showing off the multiplayer if you wanna check it out before you spend the $$$ buying the game.

Finally finished the game. All I have to say is the ending is MUCH better than the first one.

Probably one of the better aspects of the game is that cut-scenes don't take up much time at all... You spend more time playing than watching while still getting a good idea of the story. There were a few times when I didn't even realise the cut-scenes were interactive I ended up dying.........

Unlike the first game, Dead Space 2 has 15 chapters, instead of 12.

Now to finish it on Hardcore - each time you die, you restart back at your last save, AND you only get three saves total.

can barely move in the game, stuttering like mad, horrible fps.

i7 cpu, raid hdd's, & dual hd5770 crossfire cards, still cant run the game properly.

So are you staying the games graphics are too awesome or are you just saying your computers too shit :P

New DLC for Dead Space 2.

Unlike the COD games, where you pay $15-$20 for a few maps, this DLC is under $10 and features new campaign, new characters, new voice acting and so on.

And, according to gamespot, it's actually well worth getting it.

I found it a lot easier than the first game.

My main method of attack is wait for the necros to get close, then blow them apart with the force gun. Use the pulse rifle to take care of the pack (kids with claws).

The dlc is pretty good too.

I am up to chapter 13 now. Finding it abit difficult now. Swarms of non-stop necromorphs.

Call me oldschool but my favourite weapon is the Plasma cutter. I find it cuts their limbs off easiest.

Dead space 1 - plasma cutter all the way. Using only this gun i had clocked it on impossible mode.

Dead space 2 - went zealot mode as soon as i bought the game - using the two guns mentioned above. A tip would be to keep the force gun equipped. This way if anything jumps in front of you, blast it away to give yourself time to quickly assess the situation and switch to your preferred weapon. also works well clearing the area against multiple enemies. Remember to wait for them to get really close. Generally one shot will blow them apart.

Hardcore mode is next. I need to find the time. Also I'll end up smashing everything if I died and had to restart three chapters back.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
