![]() ![]() The original level design has been made to feel more realistic and truer to the actual spaces that would be found aboard the Ishimura. Once clunky minigames have been improved or even just removed. ![]() Finally there is a clever implementation of fast travel around the Ishimura. ![]() There are too many subtle improvements to list, but here are some of the highlights. Basically, EA have done a great job and bought this old franchise into 2023 with more than just a lick of paint. Not to mention Isaac, who once was the voicless protagonist, has been fully voiced by orginal Dead Space 2 and 3 actor Gunner Wright. But the title has had a very tasteful redesign to a lot of systems and environments. Sure, it now looks next-gen and really stunning in 4K/HDR at 60fps. Of course Isaac endures…but only just, and with a sizable dose of PTSD for his troubles.Īs I said this is a remake, but Dead Space has not just been spruced up from a graphical perspective. Without spoiling anything, it all goes a bit pair shaped, people die horrifically, become spiky, bitey monsters. A nice tip of the hat for true fans of sci-fi. For the more astute readers, you may have picked up that he is named after eminent science fiction writers Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Don’t go into the dark and creepy space mining ship.įor those new to the franchise, Dead Space does rely on the very well-trodden sci-fi ‘setup’- a remote site/base or in this case ship has gone dark, so let’s go see what’s what, ala Event Horizon, Aliens etc… In Dead Space, a massive planet cracking mining ship, The Ishimura, has gone silent and a small team including protagonist and expert engineer, Isaac Clarke, have been sent in to get communications back up. ![]() So it should be though, as the bones the remake is built on are just as solid now, as they were 15 years ago. Its 2023 and in keeping with the current market trend, EA have seen fit to have Motive Studios “remake” Dead Space… and wow. Making Dead Space an all-time fav of my Xbox 360 generation. The sci-fi setting, the stunning graphics and immersive in-game UI all sold me on this niche genre in 2008. I just don’t enjoy them, never have…and never will? Yes indeed, confusion abounds because I love the Dead Space franchise. I don’t do scary Movies, scary TV or scary Video Games. ![]()
