Recently, it became known that the game Dead Space will not provide the opportunity to put the game on pause. This message has caused a storm of emotions from the players and the press, who simultaneously were happy about the innovative solution, but also complained of its imprudence.
After some time the situation was clarified. As it turned out, the option of pause will remain. However, while searching the required object in the inventory and reloading weapons, the time will not stop (as in Resident Evil, for example). Thus, you`d better finish up all preparations before getting into a dangerous battle. The authors believe that such an approach will bring proper tension to the game.
As for the future of the “pause” in the games on the whole - calm down. Microsoft and Sony formally require this feature in the projects, coming under their consoles.
