#Dead space plasma cutter series

I began gathering materials and hardware almost immediately and the first components to arrive, and perhaps the coolest part of the build, were the lasers! After much research I decided to go with mini blue laser diodes due to the small amount of spaceВ availableВ in the front of the cutter. You can see a sample of the blueprint below. Coming in at just over 16 inches this is going to be quite intimidating when completed. Using these references I then drew up some blueprints to give myself a template for creating theВ piecesВ and scaled it to the right proportions. To get started I gathered up any and all references I could find of the new Plasma Cutter including anВ excellentВ concept sketch from the dev team limited edition of the game. The goal for this project is to not only incorporate the iconic three-point laser sight into the design, but also allow the front of the cutter to rotate as it does in the game. Dead Space 2's plasma cutter deserves a spot on that exclusive list too for being a powerful, reliable beast that's always there for Isaac to fall back on.I was recentlyВ commissionedВ to build a replica of the New Dead Space 3 Plasma Cutter.В Personally,В the style of the new Plasma Cutter is my favorite so far so I was very excited to get theВ opportunityВ to build it. The first Halo's overpowered pistol is legendary, while N64's GoldenEye 007's PP7 was always useful in a scrap. While pistols are typically considered the weakest weapons in any action game, to the point DOOM Eternal just dropped it from the weapon line-up, that's not always the case. The iconic three-light laser allows for vertical or horizontal blasts, and when combined with the status device, Isaac can really do some preciseВ snipping to the necromorphs. It returns for Dead Space 2, where Isaac has to construct one from a surgery tool, and it's still one of his best weapons. Despite being Isaac's default weapon in Dead Space, and basically his equivalent of a handgun, it remains useful throughout the entire game, and there's even an achievement for only using the plasma cutter during a playthrough. Like the name implies, the plasma cutter shoots blasts of plasma and was intended for precision cutting. Throughout the first game he mostly used makeshift weapons to stay alive, including his trusty plasma cutter. Isaac Clarke followed in the tradition of survival horror heroes like Silent Hill's Harry Mason by not being a badass soldier or cop, and instead, he's an engineer who is forced to fight back. Dead Space 2 is still a great follow-up that builds on the fountain set by the original while retaining the same levels of tension and atmosphere.

Sadly, even the robust sales numbers for the second game failed to meet the publisher's expectations, with Dead Space 3 basically becoming a generic action title that sanded off the edges that made the series unique. EA was pushing to make the series a big seller so it was accompanied by spinoff titles like the Wii's Dead Space: Extraction, comics, novels and even anime movies like Dead Space: Downfall. Isaac dusked off his dismemberment tools for Dead Space 2, which upped the amount of explosive setpieces and added lots of gruesome new enemies. It basically played like a mix of Resident Evil 4 and Event Horizon and is a horror gem. Dead Space was billed as new survival horror franchise and saw protagonist Isaac Clarke trapped on a spaceship infested with creatures dubbed necromorphs. Resident Evil 4's pivot towards action led to a trend of gunplay over tension and was a major influence on the likes of Uncharted: Drake's Fortuneand Gears Of War. The original Dead Space arrived in 2008 at a strange time for the survival horror genre.

Dead Space 2's plasma cutter is one of gaming's most useful default weapons.
