Speaking of Bioshock (a few posts up) the DLC from that (Minerva's Den if I remember right) never made it across to PC and probably never will. Doesn't bother me in the slightest though. What platform theirs going to be DLC wont affect which platform I prefer to play it on. Being PC.
Planning on getting DS2 shortly (on pc obviously) as I loved the first game. Is there going to be a anime movie for this one as well? the movie for the first game was excellent.

I thought the general consensus around here was that Downfall abysmal, but to each their own.
To answer the question - yes, there is a new movie. Apparently it's actually decent as well. It's called Aftermath, and it takes place very shortly after DS.

dethtoll: I stand corrected.

I don't quite understand this bit of your post no matter how many times I re-read it. Are you saying that the general consensus was that the first movie was abysmal?

What is this V-sync issue in Dead Space 1?

You need to force it through your video card (NOT in-game) or you will supposedly suffer mouse control issues. Apparently, the sensitivity is severely hampered. I have tried it both ways, though, and in my experience, it isn't s bad as some make it sound. Hardware configurations and preferences vary wildly, though, so their concerns are certainly valid.

Framerate seems to affect mouse speed in the game so one wants vsync enabled to avoid wandering mouse speed (This drove me nuts during my 2nd runthrough with my new AMD GPU system, only few days ago and at the last boss did I read about a working solution, better late than never I guess...). Only problem is that the in-game vsync is largely broken, at least for many people, it probably depends on GPU and OS whether it shows its ugly face. For me it even tripled loading times of savegames and chapters, which is something I did not think vsync could actually touch; programming genius of EA at work. :)
The game is now released in Europe as well. The starting price is not too shabby, at ~25 pounds. It is tempting to buy it right away but I want to wait for the price to drop at least below 20.

Fucking price is $60 here in USA for the PC ver. No thanks. I'll wait.

DS1 Vsync had a number of issues. In game, turning it on didn't merely turn vSync on, it locked the game's framerate - to 30fps. Leaving it off in game and forcing it in the graphics control panel worked on nVidia cards, but not on Ati cards. Ati cards required rivatuner, and rivatuner install something recognized as a driver. It's not signed, so on Win7 systems, you can't install it at all without turning off UAC.
Leave it off, and you run into the control issues - DS1 did a metric crapton of mouse acceleration, and that mouse acceleration was affected by framerate, causing control sensitivity to jump around according to framerate. I seem to remember there being a way to disable mouse smoothing, but then even at max sensitivity, it felt like a typical game at lowest sensitivity.
Clusterfuck all around.
Gunsmoke, I did pay the $60 - and wish I had waited. It's a fun game and all, but entirely too short to be $60.

What about playing with vsync off and using a gamepad? Should that be okay?
