Isaac has company in the new Dead Space 2 DLC “Severed”

Add as a preferred source on Google

When playing Dead Space 2, did you ever stop to wonder what the rest of the inhabitants of the giant space station were up to while poor Isaac was busy trying to save everybody? Was everyone too busy to throw Isaac a bone? Or better yet, throw him grenade launcher? The answer is that everyone is was busy fleeing in terror and trying to escape being eaten to death, and on March 1 you will be able to live through one of the other inhabitant’s plight, when the DLC Severed is released.

Severed features the character Gabe Weller, who like the series protagonist Isaac Clarke, had the misfortune of surviving the Ishimura (and was a character in the game Dead Space Extraction), only to once again face off against the necromorphs on the Sprawl. Weller will suit up in a one-of-a-kind security suit and wield an upgraded plasma rifle, as he attempts to survive two chapters worth of necromorph hijinks.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.

Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
