Dead Space Remake (Next Gen Only) -Late 2022

[Regular_P]

Arguably the GOAT horror game. Probably gonna be insane on next gen systems. Easily my favorite of the three too. Can't wait for this one.

This would be like criticizing Capcom for RE2 REmake when it was one of the best games of the last gen. This shyt is day one for me. Original is a classic. We need Alan Wake as well.

I think a remake of RE2 is more justified, since it was a 20 y/o game, with pre-rendered backgrounds, tank controls, and other technical limitations from the time it was released

Dead Space is from two console generations ago. you can play it now on PC, maxed out at a high resolution, and it still looks pretty good

I'm down for a remake, but I can see why people aren't too hyped for this

IGN's Jonathon Dornbush spoke with EA Motive’s Phil Ducharme (the game’s Senior Producer) and Roman Campos-Oriola (the game’s Creative Director) regarding the Dead Space remake. They talk about working on the remake and offer a lot of details for how they’re thinking about it, what they’re wanting to introduce to it versus what they want to keep the same, and learning from what the original game’s sequels did right and wrong. The article’s long and worth a read (and the video that released alongside it is worth a watch/listen, though there’s no new footage in it), but here are the bulletpoints:

• As mentioned in the reveal trailer, the game is being built using EA's Frostbite engine
• The team is "starting with" the original level design from the original game. The rest of the game is being rebuilt from the ground up for Frostbite rather than being ported, upres'd, etc. (textures, animations, sound effects, etc.)
• The game is still early in development, though no timeframe is given for how long it's been worked on so far
• Campos-Oriola: "We don't want anything to pull you out of the experience and we don't want any cuts." (...) "[The faster SSDs of new consoles mean] there's not going to be any loading. There's not going to be any moment where we're going to cut your experience, where we're going to cut your camera. You can play it from the start screen to the end credits seamlessly.”
• Ducharme: "[We wanted to] make sure that the improvements we were making were inside the DNA of what Dead Space is, and not just, ‘Oh, we can add more texture res and more polygons, let's just throw them at it.’ We really wanted to convey that feeling of Dead Space. The addition of volumetric effects and the dynamic lighting inside these scenes add a huge element to the atmosphere that we're trying to convey.”
• Ducharme: "We wanted to use the sounds you're used to as well and improve those sounds, and improve this immersion so the sounds of the door that you're hearing, the sound of the health bar, the sound of the creatures... we're building on top of the original and recreating it, but [we] make sure it is true to the original and that we are honoring the legacy of the original game."
• 3D audio is being utilized for maximum immersion
• Campos-Oriola, regarding the story: “For us, the foundation is the Dead Space 1 story. So, by default, that's what is canon. But then there are some improvements that we want to make to that story." (...) “And not necessarily improvements because those things were not really working in the original, more improvements because of what came after, and we're like, ‘Aw man, that's interesting if we could reference that, or if we could make a link to that.”
  • Dornbush states that the team is not only looking at the events from Dead Space 2 to reference, but also the expanded Dead Spaceuniverse
• EA Motive doesn't plan for the game to have any microtransactions, unlike previous games in the series (in the video, Ducharme flat-out calls their inclusion in previous games a mistake)
• The team is looking to refine the gameplay, such as "looking to Dead Space 2’s advancements to zero gravity segments," and Campos-Oriola also teased that they're looking to "evolve" the game's dismemberment system in some way
• EA Motive is working with members of the community every 2-3 weeks to test ideas with, to make sure that nothing in the remake will break the experience or feel out of place

Again, I highly recommend reading the article and/or watching the video. There's some overlap between the two, but they're both great. After reading and watching, I'm really excited for this remake. It seems like they get what made the original games great (or not great, in some cases), and I'm intrigued to see what changes they make here.

I don’t know anyone who was a true fan of the original that’s not hype. Put it like this. They are making this. Regenerating interest in the series to the new gen. And adding on from there. Instead of the bytching and moaning about everything. Be happy that they are working on the series again after leaving the IP dead in the water. U think I would be mad at a Timesplitters 2 remake after years of the series being completely left for dead? Come on fam.

glad its only next-gen.

Honestly I never played the original so I am right now. Went through a period with no console because my nephew stole my shyt, PS5 gonna get a ton of burn.

 

[Womb Raider]

The fact that this game is going to be running on the same engine as Madden….

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Was just thinking about buying this for the 360 to go through the series for the first time, but I had a feeling a remake was coming

Looking forward to this

EA better not fukk things up for once

Reading made me feel a lot better about how it'd might turn out

The potential is there for them to do some very creative stuff

I dont mind remakes but the original dead space is still kinda fresh a remake isnt that much needed... a Sequel would be welcomed tho.. the RE2 remake was needed like damn that shyt came out on the original PS1

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Anything from two gens ago at least is fair game

 

[HiiiPower]

My stance on Rrmakes is, as long as it’s a game that was originally great and is getting the same amount of love with enough time past…great, even better if it’s something I didn’t get to play originally like Dead Space

RE2, FF7, MGS

But TLOU1…RE4, shyt is so unnecessary

I’m still gonna play both tho

 

[Deuterion]

Because that would require a real pre-production cycle of writing and creating a sequel game vs. A cash grab remake of the same game


EA gonna EA.

‘They trying to test the waters…dipping they toe in the water.
