Stephen Totilo found his Dead Space notes and one important thing he wrote down was about the TV's Dead Space devs are using to test their game out on. A Dead Space developer told him that he is testing Dead Space out on various TVs, one of them being a 4:3 standard set. Very good for anyone who has a standard TV, you won't see any small text or other screwy things.

In my notes about the game was another important detail, a crucial one for people with standard definition TVs like mine. Near some scribblings about the game’s interesting in-game map that Isaac can project to float in the air next to him — and some lines about the in-game (and sometimes on-character) text that indicates his health and ammo — is a jotting about the TVs they’re using.

I had been worried that I was destined to experience another “Battle For Middle Earth” squint. Some EA games have really vexed me with their tiny text, worse even than Capcom’s “Dead Rising.”

Not to worry, a “Dead Space” developer told me. He’s got the game running on multiple TVs at his workspace, including a standard 4:3 set. Thanks for not forgetting the little guy, “Dead Space” developer.
