In Dead Space 2, the Sprawl is populated by adverts for media within the universe, like music, candy… Movies you didn’t tell your parents you’re going to see… To me, that’s the perfect test of whether a fictional world succeeds or not: whether you can take it as-is, and the idea that real people could live there doesn’t shatter your suspension of disbelief. To speak of them in terms of world-building, they’ve made a derelict deep-space mining ship, a moon colony and other locales seem perfectly ‘livable’. The Dead Space games have been among my favourites for a while now. And because Dead Space is such a visceral series (no pun intended to developer Visceral Games), expect this one to be generously image-heavy. What I’m talking about today is going to strip it all bare. If you have yet to finish Dead Space 3, and don’t want to be spoiled, just go head on over yonder.
