When you think about it, considering that in DS they already have antigravity technology, so mechanical telekinesis would be possible if the controlling device was a neuro-operated chip in your brain giving a command to a miniturized antigrav emitter allowing you to pick things up. Anything is possible 500 years from now!
If U watch the Dead Space films, or U play Dead Space Extraction, or U read the comics, U'll have the chance to see how people use those "tools" to work. I disagree with ur review, I think U are overreacting and a little bit over the top. Look, IT'S A VIDEOGAME!!, All the videogames hava some weird stuffs that everyone can doubt about, BUT WE DON'T!!!, Dead Space has tons of great reviews and tons of good criticisms and a bunch of fans. Ur review is POINTLESS if U do those pointless comments.
@JIM90Spain don't really care how many languages you speak and i understand that knowing three languages is defiantly a good thing to know in life but there is a funny man talking so ill pay more attention to him than you.
I always imagined some sort of stock pile, and, isaac having engineering skills/offical clearence, could easily get to all the maddening weapons for a price, as he's using a generic vending machine.
while most of these weapons are used for mining, i think that stuff like the flame thrower is issac reprogramming the machine to build military hardware
@SpoonyOne The Flamethrower is probably meant to be a welding tool much like a blowtorch
As to the nonsensery (not a word I know but sew me lol), I feel it's to add to the rather fragile state that Isacc is in. If you've played to the end of the game you find your girlfriend is dead and find out you've been hallucinating the whole time due to the influence of the Red Marker
i like in dead space 2 it shOws what kinesis and stasis are actualy used. stasis is like hyper sleep and kinesis is used for something sciency!!!(i cant remember but i know u dont just have it. both of them are taken by issac and used like makeshift weapons.of course that begs the Qeustion y he had them in ds1.the answer is PLOT CONVENIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All tools except the pulse rifle are real tools, the pulse rifle is machine gun obviously, the force gun is supposedly used for sending mining ore and other equipment for one miner to another, the flamethrower is basically a large blowtorch, the ripper is used for really heavy duty cutting operations that involve ore, and the stasis module is used for salvage and the kineses module is used in mining to prevent rock from falling on peoples heads.
Tools as weapons, plus the nature of the monsters, reminds me of Leviathan (which featured various motorized saws and a flamethrower used against a chimera beast that was a writhing amalgamation of human person type people, living and dead alike, fused together with sea creature DNA or something...the result of a Soviet experiement, I might add).
Spoony makes a good point with the store and the weapons. I'm sure these questions have been answered ten-fold, but these weapons that you unlock in dead space come from schematics that you find scattered around the ship. The schematics were probably designed by survivers during the infestation and the store could have been the only thing that could mass produce them. Stasis is explained as an engineer's tool to help neutralize potentially dangerous heavy equipment while they're working on it.
then the Kenises was another tool for engineers to lift/move heavy objects and whatnot. they never explain how they've come to be, but hey, the game can't explain everything, right?
They have very good reasons for the existence of these things on the Dead Space Wiki. Even I was shocked by the plausibility. Except for the Javelin Gun from Dead Space 2. WTF?
i haven't played this game in a while... but i think most of the weapons cut or explode or use "force" and whatever is because the ship you're in is a mining ship and most of the "weapons" would be used to mine big bits or stuff...... in space :)
well man im glad u like the game but u have to understand that those weapons arent weapons at all there mining tools except for the Pulse Rifle ! most of the crew were miners and had to go out in harsh places in space to mine minerals and bring back to earth that explains the store u used and the upgraded space miner suits u get in the game! hoped that helped!
@SpooneyOne Well, the stasis module is a device which changes a persons psychic ability so that they may be able to move heavy objects easier and slow down a fast moving object
As you know, Ishimura is a ship that was cracking planets, so it must have these... as you called them Lumberjack tools, but for most of those tools you named, yes... even that timemine weapon, You must have some kind of image about going to other planets, using explosions, cutting thing and even fight lifeforms, so I think you missed the point of what those weapons/tools are for.
The flamethrower was a hydrazine (burns in vacuum) torch modified to spray curbed than normal. Used for melting ice and whatnot. He force gun could easily be used for breakig up large chunks of rock. Cut it up/weaken it's foundation then blast it off with force gun
It's a game, it's a work of fiction. We can nitpik Halo, Mass Effect, Doom, Star Wars, and even Disney and about anything fictional. The weapons in Dead Space aren't anywhere as ridiculous as titles like Turok, Serious Sam, Timesplitters, Halo, and God of War. Lets nitpik about every game in existence to death, right? C'mon, you can't be that serious, and the weapons do make sense as described by previous comments. Besides, the things that don't make sense is where the "Fiction" aspect lies.
@Usul573 Don't know, but medpacks/ammo are scattered in Doom, Halo, Ratchet & Clank, GTA, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Quake, Mario, Half-Life, Turok, Time Splitters, God of War, etc etc... From the Arcade, to PC, to the PS3(and everything in between) supplies have been scattered through out the game worlds. I don't see why Dead Space should be nitpicked for that silly reason. Should we question why it has some invisible walls too? But don't all games have blocked areas? See what I am saying?
Ah well, video games are video games, as they look more realistic sometimes somethings might kinda break the illusion of reality though.
The thing that puzzled me the most about Dead Space was that Isaac, an engineer, is able to survive all this, but a massive ship filled with heavily armed and well trained marines all get massacred.
@Usul573 Because Isaac is the protaganist, so by the rule book he must survive(long enuff so you could use him). That's a long followed tradtion found from century old books to modern entertainment, Dead Space shouldn't be punished for that. But yeah, Mr. SpooneyOne did bring up a good logical point but it's an extremely broad point that pretty much sums up the entirety of gaming entertainment, he might as well ask how the existence of life came to be LOL
@Usul573 If you watch Dead Space Downfall it explains what happens. From what I saw there were no marines on the ship it was an excavation crew with a 6 or 7 man security force.
For the flamethrower, the wiki says it would be used to melt ice of comets for excavation, and it supposedly uses a fuel type that wouldn't need oxygen to combust, although, the fuel name could be mis, whatever, or a messed up programing, as it would not light in a vacuum.
Ripper, as the wiki says, is in fact a mining, just extreamly dangerous under amature use, it would be used to cut through even the strongest of materials
@grenadeer09 He wasn't questiong why you'd use those, as to more of how and where did you get the ability to screw with the laws of of time and gravity.
@SakuraAvalon The game is a work of fiction. They use work arounds in everything fictional. There are even mythical creatures in stories and films that can defy time and gravity, its the "Fiction" aspect of it all, from Star Wars, to Halo, to God of War, Dead Rising and Dead Space(and every fictional piece in existence) It's just fun, creative, and entertaining. He pretty much summed up everything that is a work of fiction really.
Where he finds the weapons is a mining ship so they are mining tools not fixing tools that's whey they are so writes they are not normal weapons except for the plasma rifle it's not like he is using a golf club to fight aliens on the moonthe weapons in the game make sense
having said all that about the weapons, you have to imagine what a man from the early 1900s would have thought of a chainsaw. to be fair thats not really the most innocent looking tool in the world is it?
Well haha, Stasis is used to slow down potentially-harmful malfunctioning devices like for instance where you first found Stasis, that retarded door was slamming open and closed at like orgasmic speed. That helps prevent people from epic failing, and yes, randomly slowing people down would seem fun. :D
To0 many games have flamethrowers. And on a space station no less. Lame. If they wanted a fuel-based weapon, it could have been something else. Something that wouldn't destroy the vessel if you used it. Ever see the anime 'Lily C.A.T.'? Same deal. Wait a tick. It was the same in 'Alien' also! Why not a freezer weapon? You could MacGuyver it out of a space refrigerator or whatnot. And it would be sorta feasible. Duke Nukem had a freezer weapon.
I just finished this game, and it was a lot better than I expected. True, it felt a little familiar after having played RE4, but Dead Space's fright factor is much greater than RE4's because it is virtually continuous and the environments are more hostile. Also, I don't think the story is generic; it has multiple twists that break your assumptions about what's going on several times.
If you can't see all the epic stuff in this game and if you really think the game is like RE4 or something we have seen so much before, you either have'nt played the game, or you are blind for details.. You actually make this game look bad in a way or that it is just like any other survival horror game. That is not true. but then again this is your review and you can do what you want, but i think you missed the whole point of the game.. but i did get a good laught from your review.. 2/5
So 2 be honest, this review gave me "jackshit" infact if i had never seen any other review before or played the game, i think your review would have made me think the game was boring or something worse.. so either you don't got a clue what your talking about or you don't pay much attention for details in games. either way you should stop making reviews if you rather wanna sit and joke about the game instead of actually being seriously about your "work"
And the station is filled with 1000 or more of personal and civilians.. so the pulse riffle is for the so called "police/army" to keep peace and order.. if something goes wrong on a space station IN SPACE people will panic and start riot, the police needs wep 2 keep people in line, but that is entirely up for the player 2 judge, and i think you waste 2 much time making questions about that instead of talking about the gameplay itself..
You are spending more time on joking around about why do we have the ripper, is it for cutting down trees in space?.
I think it's ok 2 be funny in reviews BUT i think it's waste of time spending so much time questioning why do we have this and that? maybe instead of normal standard drills, they use plasma cutters and line guns for that or w/e.. flamethrowers for melting ice, ripper for cutting of junk and stuff from the planet or asteroid?
Hmm this review seems poor to me, you did'nt put much attention into the games strong sides? The grafix, The epic sound/music, the fear factor, the fight mechanics. Gameplay! The game actually has a great story, from comic books to the anime dead space downfall, and the game takes place just right after them all. and it is very well put together.
I think you focus way too much on, why do we have that kind of wep in space, why do we have flamethrowers, why this why that.
Honestly, good reveiw, but it seems like your used to this kind of game, and you only notice the things that are similiar to those other games, you need to step back and see EVERYTHING this game does, and you should really learn the storyline before you give a review.
One thing I did take from your review is you do like to bitch. I will give you that. But whining about awesome weapons, on top of not mentioning you can move while shooting, which is the biggest difference when compared to RE4. You really chose hotkeys as your big deal??? Fucking hell, I wasted almost twenty minutes listening to you bitch.
just subscribed...i'm on chapter 7 on this at the moment...it def does feel doom 3-esq but it is a good game...i cant sit thru more then two chapters without gettin bored tho, so i turn off and go back the next day...well i wouldnt say bored but its repetetive and doesnt hold my attention for long...im playin it on medium at the mo, quite taxing but not too taxing...nice humorous review by the way :-)
This ship is used for planet-cracking. So maybe the tools only had a practical use when drilling. Maybe somewhere in the future, they can make a ship that you can light a match in. Didn't System Shock 2 have a ball that you used? For the cords thing, that what the recharge stations are for. Whatever, it's a game. It's the FIRST game. I can't wait for the second one, but I'll have to.
you have a funny style of talking thats for true but I think the story of dead space is godd and who cares about how realistic the weapons are?They are cool for killing aliens
The space station was used for deep space mining...So no shit there'll be power tools that are used for said space mining. The line gun can be used by cutting. Simple as that. The timed mine...Have you seen dynomite used in mining. I have. Maybe you do use the ripper to cut a giant gerder in space. Just go to Dead Space pedia or some shit like that.
Isaac was not a "space marine", he was part of the engineering team that was sent to repair the ship (hence the power tools for weapons).
Also, the ship was actually part of a mining operation, in one part of the game you go outside and walk around on one of the asteroids that was being worked on before the necromorph incident.
It just seems like he's trying to find fault with the game, despite not even understanding the premise of it.
Was everything in Star Wars explained? Was everything in the Thing explained? Was everything System Shock 2 explained?!?! F no... leave it to your imagination... use it for crying out loud. Just think about it for a second. It's in the damn future morons. 500 years ago you try and tell me that we'll be able to put a frozen burrito in a black box with a door. Hit a button and cook it in 30 seconds... I woulda had you emitted. People are just dumb.
True, flames in zero gravity expand in spheres instead of waves or walls. This means that the fire burns everyone including you. Lots of oxygen means really explosive flash fires.
Lol I loved your review , the game insulted my intelligence as well and dont let EA fool you people ,this game has absolutely no new ideas in it . The game is just doesnt make any sense , lazy programmers and unimaginative producers . Systemshock 2 was great wish it would get a rerelease
to reply to the video, and your rediculously ignorant comment. Insult your intelligence? You don't have any to insult based on your comment. Lazy programmers/ unimaginative producers? For real man? It's probably the most immersive/beautiful game I've played in years. yeah system shock 2 was great... stop living in the past. It couldn't stand up to Dead space these days (i loved SS2)
As for the inventions... read a biography on Isaac newton, or thomas edison. Educate yourself... please.
I will of course admit just selling this stuff to anyone is completely hilarious; I can't see a whole lot of practical need for the Ripper either given it doesn't cut metal and the assault rifle's alternate fire makes no sense at all.
As for the weapons and tools.. I'll admit some of them (such as the flame thrower) are completely hilarious and make no sense - but a bunch of the others like the Line Gun (including it's alt fire), Force Gun and Contact Beam - mostly because the Ishamura isn't a salvage ship, it's a planet cracker.
Remember the room with the massive chunk of the planet suspended? Their job is to blow chunks out of it to get to the valuable minerals. Thus all this gear is pretty practical.
On the Stasis and Kenesis modules, they both make a good bit of sense (assuming they could be made) for a salvage operator to grab stuff in zero-gravity as well as manipulate hazards when working on, for example, an asteroid.
Stasis modules at least WERE weaponized, as the marines that had the upgrade modules got turned into the "twitchers" when they their armor got twisted into their bodies after being necromorphed.
IN SPACE!... lol... okey was a fair review... the store is freaking true, the circular blade!? come on dude they are PLANET CRACKERS, i think a blade will crack a rock?... then the restis okey.
then why do you have to buy them in a store on the mining colony ship and please tell me why there is no health in the medical wards , (hard mode) . Where is all the ammo? No tools laying around?
Who invents a remote-controlled circular saw blade you ask? Spoony, you already know the answer to that question. Such science is absolutely ludicrous, zany, bonkers or shall we just say...

Space is a oxygen poor environment, not oxygen rich as you say, so a flame thrower would be less dangerous, not more dangerous. What's it for? Melting things, presumably. See what you mean about the shop but probably makes sense to have two independant upgrade trees from a gameplay perspective. No game is immune this kind of nit-picking; dead space derives from the best but doesn't dilute + has a couple of original elements, put your wit to some of the real horseshit out there please!
What he meant by Oxygen Rich, is to the air inside the ship. If you where on one of our space stations and lit a match. Unlike the oxygen on earth. The air on the ship is, pure oxygen. So there are either 2 out comes. The flame becomes supercharged and grows at most seven times its strength. Or on a worse not the flame causes an intense chain combustion. Filling the inside of the entire ship, consuming all the oxygen and burns out within 4 to 8 seconds.
Um... you have it wrong... This isn't a salvage operation... it's a repair op to fix the communications array on the Ishimura. Also the power tools are for MINING, not salvaging. So the mines make sense if your busting up rock formations. The only weapon that's a real weapon is the pulse rifle.
these kind of weapons are according to the whole story they would of used on their space artifact recovery mission which if you read the comics online(there actually a video for the comics or if you watched the 8 vid cartoon series it shows the kind of stuff they would be working on like ripping wholes in the space planet for research or cutting pieces of rock or the artifact, and most of the stuff was used by the miners divission from the ship on this new planet they found

dude its a fuking game just play the damn this your opinions are stupid and I don't see anyone agreeing with you. the game was great and had any of your ideas been in a game I swear it would be the most dumbest game ever made wtf is your deal you need to get a gf and stop playing games cause an attitude like that is the cause of not haveing sex for a while
In America you can buy ammo and guns in stores, no? But on a serious note; it's a fuckin game man! If you are critical about the stores, then you can also begin about the necromorphs. Gameworlds are very often fantasy worlds. Enjoy.
The flame thrower was a modified welder and looked like one.
The line gun was actually different than I think most people expected cause the comics they released before the game showed line cutters to be basically high powered lasers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
unless your flamethrower can reach 2786 degrees fahrenheit (roughly 1530 celsius) you won't be able to melt iron or steel... and if it does you would need to be at least 45ft from the source of ignition... what i'm tryin to say is that your reasoning is flawed and that IT'S A FUCKING GAME! who gives a shit wether you think the weapons a real or not dumbass...
Err their not for slavage, their for mining. Plus they were pretty much locked until you gained access for these weapon. Through Schematics which had the codes to grant to access to these tools.
it did borrow from alot of sources but its hard to find anything these days thats not been done before, all in all dead space for me was a great game and scary, i would have preferd actually doing repairs my self to the ship with different equipment sparks flying and stuff,
Despite being a somewhat standard bug hunt, mix of RE4, Doom 3, System Shock 2, it's done pretty well and I like it, it would seem pretty great to someone who hasn't played those. I've played Doom 3 and RE4, not System Shock 2 though, but I know about it.
i thought Dead space was a lot scarier than resident evil 4, When i played Re4 i wasnt scared at all but when i played Dead space i was so fucking scared shitless that i usually just standed still too afraid to go any further
i liked ur comment about the "crafting" bit. For pple who loved the FFX node system, they have it here for the Bench part. (Bench = upgrading your item/armors) <-- pretty much similar, but the nodes are a pain to farm :)) lol
and you are 10 years old... what the FUCK do YOU know about humour? spoony is the fucking MAN, second only to Yor and Sabin. And he blew squall the fuck up, he has my eternal gratitude...

That's a long followed tradtion found from century old books to modern entertainment, Dead Space shouldn't be punished for that. But yeah, Mr. SpooneyOne did bring up a good logical point but it's an extremely broad point that pretty much sums up the entirety of gaming entertainment, he might as well ask how the existence of life came to be LOL

@Usul573 If you watch Dead Space Downfall it explains what happens. From what I saw there were no marines on the ship it was an excavation crew with a 6 or 7 man security force.

For the flamethrower, the wiki says it would be used to melt ice of comets for excavation, and it supposedly uses a fuel type that wouldn't need oxygen to combust, although, the fuel name could be mis, whatever, or a messed up programing, as it would not light in a vacuum.
Ripper, as the wiki says, is in fact a mining, just extreamly dangerous under amature use, it would be used to cut through even the strongest of materials

Line gun - bigger version of the plasma cutter, the mine used for clearing out rubble and rock
Pulse Rifle - military grade futuristic assault rifle, used by security officers.
Ripper - basically a table saw that you can shoot, used to cut things at a distance
Contact Beam - used to blast holes in rock to dig out specific minerals without destroying them
Flamethrower - used to melt the ice on comets to get the minerals

As an engineer I can tell you that those are very useful.
The line would function as an effective means to clear debris and mineral deposits.
The timed mine is a good substitute to dynamite and C4.
The ripper allows for making difficult cuts in tight areas without crawling in.
The force gun can knock away harmful space debris without moving the ship.
The flamethrower... OK I got nothing on that one.
In space it is hard to exactly these things will work out but its nice to have options :).

To0 many games have flamethrowers. And on a space station no less. Lame. If they wanted a fuel-based weapon, it could have been something else. Something that wouldn't destroy the vessel if you used it. Ever see the anime 'Lily C.A.T.'? Same deal. Wait a tick. It was the same in 'Alien' also! Why not a freezer weapon? You could MacGuyver it out of a space refrigerator or whatnot. And it would be sorta feasible. Duke Nukem had a freezer weapon.
IggyHazard 2 years ago 2
I just finished this game, and it was a lot better than I expected. True, it felt a little familiar after having played RE4, but Dead Space's fright factor is much greater than RE4's because it is virtually continuous and the environments are more hostile. Also, I don't think the story is generic; it has multiple twists that break your assumptions about what's going on several times.

If you can't see all the epic stuff in this game and if you really think the game is like RE4 or something we have seen so much before, you either have'nt played the game, or you are blind for details.. You actually make this game look bad in a way or that it is just like any other survival horror game. That is not true. but then again this is your review and you can do what you want, but i think you missed the whole point of the game.. but i did get a good laught from your review.. 2/5
kubel83 2 years ago
So 2 be honest, this review gave me "jackshit" infact if i had never seen any other review before or played the game, i think your review would have made me think the game was boring or something worse.. so either you don't got a clue what your talking about or you don't pay much attention for details in games. either way you should stop making reviews if you rather wanna sit and joke about the game instead of actually being seriously about your "work"
kubel83 2 years ago
And the station is filled with 1000 or more of personal and civilians.. so the pulse riffle is for the so called "police/army" to keep peace and order.. if something goes wrong on a space station IN SPACE people will panic and start riot, the police needs wep 2 keep people in line, but that is entirely up for the player 2 judge, and i think you waste 2 much time making questions about that instead of talking about the gameplay itself..
kubel83 2 years ago
You are spending more time on joking around about why do we have the ripper, is it for cutting down trees in space?.
I think it's ok 2 be funny in reviews BUT i think it's waste of time spending so much time questioning why do we have this and that? maybe instead of normal standard drills, they use plasma cutters and line guns for that or w/e.. flamethrowers for melting ice, ripper for cutting of junk and stuff from the planet or asteroid?
kubel83 2 years ago
Hmm this review seems poor to me, you did'nt put much attention into the games strong sides? The grafix, The epic sound/music, the fear factor, the fight mechanics. Gameplay! The game actually has a great story, from comic books to the anime dead space downfall, and the game takes place just right after them all. and it is very well put together.
I think you focus way too much on, why do we have that kind of wep in space, why do we have flamethrowers, why this why that.

This ship is used for planet-cracking. So maybe the tools only had a practical use when drilling. Maybe somewhere in the future, they can make a ship that you can light a match in.

Isaac was not a "space marine", he was part of the engineering team that was sent to repair the ship (hence the power tools for weapons).
Also, the ship was actually part of a mining operation, in one part of the game you go outside and walk around on one of the asteroids that was being worked on before the necromorph incident.
It just seems like he's trying to find fault with the game, despite not even understanding the premise of it.

BlazingOwnager 2 years ago 2
As for the weapons and tools.. I'll admit some of them (such as the flame thrower) are completely hilarious and make no sense - but a bunch of the others like the Line Gun (including it's alt fire), Force Gun and Contact Beam - mostly because the Ishamura isn't a salvage ship, it's a planet cracker.
Remember the room with the massive chunk of the planet suspended? Their job is to blow chunks out of it to get to the valuable minerals. Thus all this gear is pretty practical.
BlazingOwnager 2 years ago 16
On the Stasis and Kenesis modules, they both make a good bit of sense (assuming they could be made) for a salvage operator to grab stuff in zero-gravity as well as manipulate hazards when working on, for example, an asteroid.
Stasis modules at least WERE weaponized, as the marines that had the upgrade modules got turned into the "twitchers" when they their armor got twisted into their bodies after being necromorphed.

Space is a oxygen poor environment, not oxygen rich as you say, so a flame thrower would be less dangerous, not more dangerous. What's it for? Melting things, presumably. See what you mean about the shop but probably makes sense to have two independant upgrade trees from a gameplay perspective. No game is immune this kind of nit-picking; dead space derives from the best but doesn't dilute + has a couple of original elements, put your wit to some of the real horseshit out there please!

mothmanbr 2 years ago
What he meant by Oxygen Rich, is to the air inside the ship. If you where on one of our space stations and lit a match. Unlike the oxygen on earth. The air on the ship is, pure oxygen. So there are either 2 out comes. The flame becomes supercharged and grows at most seven times its strength. Or on a worse not the flame causes an intense chain combustion. Filling the inside of the entire ship, consuming all the oxygen and burns out within 4 to 8 seconds.
The burn is short, but still intense.

Um... you have it wrong... This isn't a salvage operation... it's a repair op to fix the communications array on the Ishimura. Also the power tools are for MINING, not salvaging. So the mines make sense if your busting up rock formations. The only weapon that's a real weapon is the pulse rifle.

these kind of weapons are according to the whole story they would of used on their space artifact recovery mission which if you read the comics online(there actually a video for the comics or if you watched the 8 vid cartoon series it shows the kind of stuff they would be working on like ripping wholes in the space planet for research or cutting pieces of rock or the artifact, and most of the stuff was used by the miners divission from the ship on this new planet they found

unless your flamethrower can reach 2786 degrees fahrenheit (roughly 1530 celsius) you won't be able to melt iron or steel... and if it does you would need to be at least 45ft from the source of ignition... what i'm tryin to say is that your reasoning is flawed and that IT'S A FUCKING GAME! who gives a shit wether you think the weapons a real or not dumbass...
