The whole ordeal took no longer than a few seconds, but it left me wondering “What was the point of that?” The color coding eventually tipped me off to try kinesis and it worked. I kept waiting for the holographic panel to appear, walking up to the door then backing away, over and over, and when it didn’t appear, I assumed the game was having problems loading. Your first encounter with this type of door is likely to be a little confusing. You hold down a button, stick out your hand, and your sci-fi psychic powers turn the wheel around and around while the game loads. You have to use kinesis to open these new doors. That contrast is most apparent in Dead Space 3 thanks to the introduction of a new type of door handle, the mechanical wheel.
The ship itself looks like something out of our not-too-distant future, while the UI reminds us this is actually happening in the far-flung future. It’s a piece of set dressing that reminds us we’re in a sci-fi game, and that reminder is necessary since we spend most of our time running through engine rooms and operating heavy machinery that otherwise looks pretty modern or at least not as slickly futuristic as the door handles. It’s a bit of sleek and stylish future tech in an otherwise grimy, dirty spaceship. Every interface in the game is holographic from computer screens to door handles. This is really just a loading screen, but it’s a loading screen hidden behind an in-game UI, and that in-game UI is part of a universal aesthetic. When we try to open a door, the holographic screen tells us it’s “Loading” while we wait for it to process our command. This interest permeates everything in Dead Space 3, from the core of its spectacle all the way down to how its doors work.ĭoors in Dead Space have always been controlled by digital locks. His main weapon is a mining tool, he acquires a stasis module by jury rigging a surgery machine, and he spends most of his time in every game fixing things. This makes sense considering the game’s central hero is an engineer. Dead Space has always been interested in machines.
