Episode notes

The idea is that this marker that has been sort of transforming people into these monsters also makes them go crazy, dude. The way that they have sort of integrated it into the game experience itself is really something else. I was shocked to see a game like this do that. It's a good solution for older games too, because the self-harm of stuff in this game sucks, it doesn't need to be there anyway.

Join us as we revisit the USG Ishimura, the pride of Earth's planet-cracking operations and, also, the extremely monster-infested setting of EA's remake of their classic survival horror title Dead Space. Does it still hold up some 15 years after its initial release? (Spoiler alert: Yes. Yes it does.)

Also discussed: Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Half-Life, Fable, Burnout 3: Takedown, Metal Gear Solid, Metroid Prime, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Freelancer, Time's Ours, You Pod to Win the Game, My Perfect Console, Teardown, Vampire Survivors, Paul T. Goldman, The Traitors, Yakuza: Like a Dragon
