Whoa I can’t edit. Stopped watching the Vid after about 15 seconds. I knew that’s how the game opened, but I really don’t want to see any of the following dialogue.

Goddamnit man, I don’t know whether to watch the trailer or not. I’m desperate to hit the game on the 360, but I feel, if what’s been said here is anything to go by, that this vid’ll be spoilertastic. Although I have seen basically everything I can on the game… I’ll watch.

Thanks for mentioning el Capitan ‘Vaynes’!

I’ll be buying this, if only because that helmet with the three glowing turquoise bands is the coolest gaming fashion statement in years.

“First-person space shooter horror things are so 2006. Good trailer, though – was that Martin Grech they used for the music?”

Woah whatnow? Is it FPS as well?

Makes me think of the let down of Crysis with the massive walker on the carrier being that it was shown in the previous videos well before release. Major letdown. For that reason I will be giving this trailer a miss.

They are playing a similar ad on Hulu.com as well. I didn’t watch this one because I didn’t wan to ruine the game, but you can’t skip the one on the Hulu.com website.

I think Log is mad. The mouse controls were totally fine.

Hurrah! Thanks for clearing that up. When Log’s review referred to the mouse controls as “dogshit”, I admit that I was getting ready to cross Dead Space off my wanted list. Calamity averted.

ooh, looks nice, may get it if the reviews are good. Especially RPS’s and PCG’s (ofc)

JonFitt: “Imagine how cool it would have been to not expect a Big Daddy to show up, or that you’d have to choose whether or not to kill an infected little girl.”

erm.. spoilers!

@JonFitt and Dracko

I didn’t know a resonance cascade was going to occur. I knew something was likely going to go to shit in the experiment, but I had no idea it was going to be a resonance cascade. It was pretty cool. Similarly I had no idea what chapter 4 of World of Goo was going to entail. Knowing either of those things ahead of time would have lessened my enjoyment of the game.

So yes, for me anyway, there’s value in avoiding spoilers for games.

I think Log is mad. The mouse controls were totally fine. The aiming system is a little obtuse to begin with, but it only took a couple of fights to understand it.
