Are they even the same character?

I swear, each time they show this game recently I shift closer towards not buying it. I think I’ll stick with the original. Whatever, 60 bucks still in my wallet that I can use on armored core 6 instead.

Hmm, I wonder what they could mean by “rewriting” and “improving”. Seems like words woke developers like to use to make something “acceptable”.

Alright. I was fairly apathetic to all the other changes mentioned ITT, but what the fuck is this shit?

What in the ACTUAL fuck is this shit?

It really is ridiculous. They’re making the characters look like mutts and they know it.
 
Oh, so they're doing the whole "make the character look like the voice actor" thing, huh? At least, I think that's what they're going for. The model looks uglier than Gunner Wright's actual face. Don't know why they mostly got rid of the stubble. But wait, didn't they already do that for 2 when he first signed on and did mocap? I'm even more confused.

What the fuck are they doing with the characters; I get remaking, but any character who's had more than one game kinda has a known look; and even the characters who are one-hit wonders, there's nothing wrong with them. I get remaking, so clean things up, something here or there, but don't fucking do an entire face and hair swap. Though I'm also of the mind that Isaac didn't need a face, we got one short look at it at the end of DS1 (a fine reward, I guess); but he's turning his mask off and on too many times for DS2, we didn't need that. If anything, have another face reveal at the end, but show him more ragged and his hair with white strands, show some physical wear and tear for all the insanity his mind is putting him through.

And I swear to God I know a YouTube guy that the new Isaac looks like.

I also hope they add hardcore mode again.

Which hardcore mode; the "only 3 saves" like in DS2 or the "You can save, but if you die we delete that save and you start at the beginning" in DS3? Because while I appreciate the challenge, DS2's hardcore was several magnitudes more difficult than DS3. It also doesn't help that you could use USB or Cloud Save to backup your game, so any perceived death in DS3 was quickly mitigated by transferring your off-device save data.

I honestly don't buy the "they look their age now" argument. They live in a universe with hyper advanced medical technology, to the point they can clone and attached new limbs. They shouldn't be aging until they're practically on their deathbed. Besides, people coming into the franchise on this installment have no attachment to Nicole. Sure Isaac wants to find her, but why should we? In the original she was at least attractive so theres that. But here? She's scarier looking than some necromorphs. It's not the face the marker would use to tempt someone to MAKE US WHOLE.

As for Issac, why is it so hard for modern video games to not make their models look doughy? You can't just scan people's faces in and hope the lighting engine takes care of the rest. And his stance... OG Isaac with his hunched over diver stance was iconic. This dude otoh is just strolling.
 
They aged up Nicole to "match" her real age despite her looking more accurate in dead space 2 yet for Issac it looks like they aged him down to like late 20's early 30's????

Modern media doesn't markets itself to men, which it assumes (with good reason) will buy theur shit anyways, but rather sell it to white women, therefore all women are ugly/old (to make the dead eggers feel unthreatened) and men are young and full of muscle.
 
So the Callisto Protocol sucked, the more we see of the Dead Space Remake the worse it looks, at this point the only horror game I'm looking forward to is RE4 Remake.

If they actually used Gunner's face, New Isaac would look orders of magnitude more like the blue collar everyman in his 40s that he's supposed to be.

it was ok, for anyone who played it back then it was a progression from 1, same as being mostly stoically silent (which let the player react to stuff on his own, guess that's why people don't like it if they don't see OMG REACTION FACE) and then going full FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR MARKER in 2. it's also that he never reacted at all, there's enough body language in 1. guess subtlety is a lost art these days.

changing the face is utter sacrilege tho #notmyisaac

it doesn't even need to be fucking scifi, there are plenty of women who are mid 40 and look like early 30 (and I don't mean asians). some just hit the wall later, or more importantly don't completely waste their look in their 20's.
outside of that there's not much sunlight in space either, which would let people age slower.

tbh I never made sense for me in ds2 either, so isaac looks around 30, nicole maybe 25+ if you're generous. what was the fucking issue?

Watching the "rewriting and improving" video for this remake makes me really mad, its such a condesending idea that your changes to a story that wasnt yours is just objectively better.
Yeah I am sjre, that intro that has twice the dialogue and half the character sure is an improvement, fuck modern remakes man, its such lazy shit and they always have to prop it up by dragging down the original movie/game

There's several things you could do to improve the writing in Dead Space, it's a bit incoherent in the behavior of the marker, the origin of the Hive, and other events that would later get retconned. But in the video they're clearly only focusing on making it "inclusive" which is always a bad sign
