The Art of Dead Space (Hardcover)

Customer Review

As a fan of the franchise, the purchase of this Artbooks to Dead Space was for me obvious. Since this comes Titan Books from the house, I knew from the start that I had to fear no compromises when it comes to how Qualitiät, as well as the content, quantity, because I can call my own already several Artbooks made by Titan Books (eg Alien insulation) ,

Again, I was not disappointed. In a high-quality wax dust jacket with some black gloss applications the jewel now lay before me. After removing the protective envelope of the whole held in gloss black painted cover, which is provided with a Dead Space-embossing, and therefore makes a very siginificant appears. Technically good book binding, as well as 192 high-quality glossy pages that have adequate strength, be at least in the Habtik nothing to be desired. The print quality is excellent contrast, and can even, on closer inspection, reveal any Pixelungen and color washes.

Now we come thus to the content. A Foreword by the Franchise Directors Ian Milham introduces in the book, which is a shame as this is when most other Artbooks the Creative- / game or design reserved Directors who accompanied the whole development from the outset. But seis drum, this is an art book, so the focus should be on the pictures or artwork. The accompanying texts which occupy only a small space are held in English, this should, however, anyone who is limited English language, or not at all is powerful, not deterred, because although these accompanying texts explain a few things, but uncovering no fundamentally new background information , Especially since most of it is visually self-explanatory.

Divided the book into 10 chapters, some of which are still divided on the individual parts 3 games. The first 2 chapters (2 pages) are a prelude or introduction to the book that shed light on some of the background, and other games can be mentioned which have played an inspirational role for Dead Space and its Enwicklung. Other chapters show that the main protagonists Carakterentwicklung Isaac, at different stages and types, with a few found their way into the game. Initially shown as sketches in pencil / charcoal concept drawings, but occupy only a small part. Full Page Images are presented partly as a watercolor, but most of the artwork. In other chapters, the Ishimura, and their development are presented, as well as the marker and machinery / technology.

The most interesting for me was of course chapter devoted to the Necromorphs. Again, some sketches, but for the most part really impressive full-page images, the shine, the developers of these creatures again, and the heart of every horror fans beat faster. Great pictures on game-related venues such as the infirmary, or the kindergarten, was granted an extra chapter. Inhospitable outdoor locations (Space, Surface walks), were presented beautifully in large panoramic images, but also meaningful smaller frames.

Especially I would like to draw attention to the effective depicted light and shade, the one with the dragons unfortunately only incidentally perceived, but found a very special, dignified place in this book. Weapons development, as well as the many other Kleingkeiten, such as the equipment with 50-ger years billboards and devotional objects were neglected in any way, and take up a small space not in the book.

In large and whole a great artbook, which is the series of games do justice in all cases. The processing, as well as the print quality is at its best, and does not need to hide from much more expensive art coffee table books. The artwork and sketches on the different themes are always the right choice, and let a marvel that one time or another. Many venues and opponents etc, which found their way into the game, as well as the design concepts were shelved down, found here once again an adequate re-use and appreciation.

This book refers to all three parts, and does not contain any visual cues on the DLC`s. For any fan of the series, a MUST HAVE, and for all others, definitely an asset, the one after the play of the three parts of a few more hours brings joy. Although some people think that is a member of letterpress the past, is after browsing this Artbooks be disabused. The mere smell when unpacking such a work of art is beguiling, and can not be compared to virtual images to. However, this is my very own opinion, which must not be shared by anyone with me.

For particularly interested in this art book are of course some information as to what manner of work was put into the entire game development, primarily in terms what concept and game design. This equal accompanied a recommendation not the artbook before by playing Browse the Games, because otherwise many things will gespoilert visually.

With good treatment appreciation over this bound edition is almost guaranteed, and thus this "ARTBOOK" worth every euro.

* Just to prevent misunderstandings from the outset. This is not a game guide.
