Dead Space still arguably has the best U.I design in gaming. Everything is built into the world naturally, all part of the story and lore, full immersion. -Your inventory? a hologram your suit projects, even Issac's eyes follow the item you're looking at. -Location of stores/objectives? Hologram from his... suit. -Ammo? Displayed by the weapon -Health and stasis? Shown by the Rig on his back. DS2 best action/horror game of all time btw.show more

Dead Space 2 is so good

all time classic right here

Deffo one of the most fun 100% completions I’ve done these last few years

that inventory screen built in the game increases the panic factor when you have to get something in the middle of a firefight, which is great for a horror game

Very true and the fact that it doesn't pause the game keeps up the immersion and pacing too

I did always enjoy how clean the UI was. Especially the health indicator. It’s a wonder more games haven’t attempted to replicate it or do something similar. You see all of these UI free screenshots of beautiful games and it really puts a focus on the beauty of it.

I think it's because DS's setting allows for something like this to exist, a scifi setting with high tech and an MC in a full body suit. I imagine it would be hard to make in-world justifications or ways to do something similar for any other genre

It's goat

Even in the Remake retains a lot We had it so good

One of the best remakes of all time

I think my favorite UI design is metroid primes its so cool

Visor huds are always cool

I love it its immersive and just looks so fucking cool

Both metroid and Republic commando got that effect where Rain hits the visor that shit is sick

Oh yeah you are right its so sick I love details like that . In prime 4 in the snow area when its windy the visor freezes and she starts holding up her hand

The amount of work that went into the ui itself is nuts. You can look at it from the side and see all the layers

Diegetic huds & maps are peak!

I don't even replay games anymore, once I'm done with the game that's it but Dead Space remake is the first time in a while that made me want to start a new game plus. Everything from weapons, to environment, to enemy design and the UI is just perfection.

I loved the original trilogy, I loved the remake of the first game. I wish they'd remake the whole trilogy with the same love they put into the first game. That would be incredible.

The health being his spine is genuinely my most favorite health bar design in a game. Every UI built onto Isaac himself is such a genius design.

Dead space 2 is perfect

Agghhh I need Dead Space 2 remake/remaster NOW!!!!

Best horror game ever. And I love the remake idgaf, and I also blame all gamers who didn’t buy remake cuz now we won’t get ds2

The UI being integrated into his suit also allows the game to have completely seamless transitions between cutscenes and gameplay. Theres never really a moment where you're pulled out of the game.

Nah I played the 2nd one on hard and is annoying af. The final boss is a joke. The first one is far better. You are right on the ui though

DS2 is an improvement pretty much every way objectively. Bigger arsenal, better alt fires, more fluid movement, more varied areas and enemy types, better story, Issac being fully voiced, Zero G improved greatly, etc

If I ever get into game development, I'm making a game with a UI like this

Yes, for me top 3 survival horror games, masterpiece.
