I played a bit of the Dead Space remake last night, just one short segment, a mission of sorts or part of a mission, something like that. Despite being in the mood for playing, I couldn't concentrate properly on the game. The weather outside was colder than usual, and the wind was pretty strong, so the atmosphere was too inviting for sleeping.
Anyway, I played a bit, so I have a bunch of screenshots to show you today. For the most part, I was flying in zero gravity around the enormous halls of the spaceship's mining facility, fascinated by the details of the machinery.
The last Dead Space-related post I published a few days ago had its fair share of monsters; in this one, you won't see any necromorphs. I encountered about a dozen of them, but I was too lazy to chase good compositions with moving monsters in the screenshot. Fighting them was hard enough.
Here you can see an asteroid trapped in the grinding machine. The screenshot shows the scene from the ship's interior. In the following picture ...
... you can see the same thing from the outside.
One of the things I had to do at that point in the game involved the lightning-like things shown in this screenshot. Those are some kinds of engines, and I had to shut them down.
These kinds of puzzles that involve the ship's infrastructure are a big part of the gameplay. Almost as big as fighting the necromorphs.
In this outdoor scene, you can take a quick look at the star-sprinkled darkness of outer space.
Here you can see the interior without the lighting. The engines were down at this point.
This is the same thing, but seen from a slightly different angle. I don't know if the screenshots can convey it, but this scene looks very majestic when you play the game. It comes after a series of dark, narrow corridors, which definitely amplifies the grandeur of the hall, the asteroid, and then the space when you briefly exit the ship.
This is yet another outdoor shot ... I mean, screenshot.
The exterior is gray and cold ...
... the interior is golden. It's industrial and uncomfortable, sprinkled with blood, and infested with alien monstrosities, but it looks almost inviting in this golden light.
This is the interior end of the grinding machine, a place where the asteroid enters in the form of small chunks and dust.
This last picture shows the main control panel of the mining operation. And that's all for today. Hope you enjoyed this tour through the mining section of the spaceship USG Ishimura. Have a great day, or night, depending on where on the planet you are - THE END.
