I still remember the Phil Collins cover from 3's commercials. Shit went way too hard.

imho it's breddy gud, looks great and that track always a banger. also gave isaac enough personality with a simple sneer instead of dropping some shitty quip.

EA has this weird habit of using songs/remixes for their trailer for some reason, part of me feels it's some boomer exec thinking "that's what teens like, right?"

also seems they harder to go with it the more it's desperation to shill to that "gaymer" demographic

That Chris Guy said:
The first two Dead Space games were outstanding, and did a great job on sci-fi horror with some amazing visual moments. Dead Space 3 fell flat because those horror elements were largely replaced with action, and with only action to push for there were already plenty of shooters that did it better.

It's a shame, but as said earlier at least it was merely memoryholed rather than completely falling into ruin.

fwiw enjoyed the first part of 3 more than the first (or even half) part of 2.
EDIT: in atmosphere. 3's gameplay changes were... eh. also felt the only reason it exists so EA can sell shit to lazy casuals and visceral did the best they could with it.

Dead Space remake by EA Motive? It's going to be shit if Mitch Dyer is in charge of the story.

Okay, time to make a betting pool for how they're going to butcher it!

*2:1 - Isaac and/or love interest turned into a troon
*3:1 - Necromorphs good because hamfisted gender dysmorphia aesop
*5:1 - Isaac dies in Act 1, replaced with Snarky Action Protagonist Mk. 244 (female and/or colored variant)
*8:1 - Isaac subordinated to Snarky Action Protagonist Mk. 244 (female and/or colored variant)
*10:1 - Journalist mode as default difficulty
*15:1 - Atmosphere ruined my shoehorning in multiplayer mechanics from Dead Space 3 into other games
*18:1 - Pacing ruined by touting Dead Space 3's "Haha, you're fucked! Everything's fucked forever and there's nothing you can do about it!" wet fart ending in its prerelease advertising
*40:1 - Pacing AND atmosphere ruined by moving Dead Space 3's "Haha, you're fucked! Everything's fucked forever and there's nothing you can do about it!" wet fart ending to Dead Space 1 for reasons
*100:1 -Atmosphere ruined by turning Isaac into industry-standard Meathead Soldier Man™
*375:1 - Isaac becomes the Doomslayer
*1000:1 - Game is 3 spooky 5 scary, causes entire games journalism industry to suffer immediate and fatal high-pressure projectile diarrhea

Another day another defiled dead franchise
 
Well the new rumor is that its a remake of DS1. Its going to pull some mechanics from dead space 2 and 3 as well.

Its supposed to be in the same vein as the recent Resident Evil remakes.

Could work. They gotta get the main character right though. If its not Issac and it's some bitch or soy latte motherfucker, nobody's going to take it seriously if they are not portrayed as completely out of their depth.

Isn't half the point of DS1 that Isaac is just some random-ass repairman who's stuck kludging together weapons from industrial tools in-between shitting his pants at how utterly fucked he is?

Oh yeah, that's the real beauty of it. It's a bit harder to tell in 1 because he's mute, but the journal entry's convey it well. The heavy breathing and stomp kill sounds did a good job of conveying how frantic he is too.

DS2 did a really fantastic job of giving him a voice without taking away his vulnerability. That's extremely difficult to do, and if they cant do it right they should just keep him mute.

He can be defiant and giving the monsters shit, but he cant constantly make quips. I think he was done solid in 3 but I never got the chance to finish it.

DS3 is... a mixed bag. Mostly because it has one of the stupidest standoffs I have ever seen.
So, its the end of the game, you have the MacGuffin that will either wake up the Brother Moon or finish the job of crashing it into the planet with no survivors, but creepy glasses guy has your GF. Isaac listens to his brains and not his balls and when his GF tells him to not hand it over and let the creepy villain kill her, does just that. Aaand then the dude who wasted no time killing off some of your fellow teammates in the name of the mission hits you, takes it, tosses it to the dude and says its not worth someone's life. I can just imagine the crisis the writing team had. "So we're at the heroic standoff, and... uh shit, Isaac is willing to kill everyone present if that saves mankind from the Markers, what do we do?"

If its in the same vein of the RE remakes: that would mean that Isacc is the main character.
 
Isaac DAMN WELL better be the protagonist; I won't accept any other main character. This would be like replacing Doomguy with some other military guy or Sam Fisher with another stealth assassin: Everyone would just be confused as fuck and disappointed.

I guess my only hope for this remake is that they make it first person. You can still keep the "Everything you need to see is on your suit" function of the RIG suits by putting your health and stasis meters on your arms/chest.

I remember reading on the Wiki a while back that originally they were going to make Ellie the protagonist of Dead Space 4 before it was canned. Which sort of made me glad that they canned it because Ellie is tolerable as a character in 2 and 3 but she’s not that interesting and she isn’t Isaac.

I want to play as Isaac. I like his humble Everyman character and I want to learn more about him. There are still lots of mysteries about him that we don’t know like what his relationship with his Unitologist mother is like, and where the hell his father went after he was born. These are things they could absolutely get into in 4 considering it would probably take place mostly right outside of Earth’s atmosphere unless they just made it a remake or retconned 3’s ending.

Unfortunately, with all that said I absolutely doubt they would depart from using Ellie as DS4’s protagonist in Current Year +6. She is perfectly ambiguously brown, is a woman, and they would be happy to ruin anything originally good about her with wokeness by just making her a completely cardboard bitch. Would probably give her some female friend as a co-op partner to not-so-subtly imply some sort of bisexual tendencies as well.

That's another thing I am worried about; adding unnecessary "modern issues" into the game. The whole point of Dead Space's main story is that religious extremism, rampant resource consumption and ancient alien artifacts do NOT mix together well. That's how we get Necromoprh shenanigans. With today's game devs though, they think appealing to current trends, ESPCECIALLY political and identity based ones, will net them fuck heug dollary doos. The end result will always be low sales from players, but ass tounging on social media and journo sites.

I really, REALLY hope they don't make this a "current year" kinda game. The focus of Dead Space should be not fucking with that which should most NOT be fucked with, the intricacies of madness and lies, and of course weird ass alien zombies. Not figuring out sexual identity and paying reparations to space blacks or whatever.

I want to shoot zombies, not talk about racism.

Isaac is now a black woman with an afro.
 
Last time I tried Dead Space I found it too dated looking to hold my interest, a remake is a good idea in theory, if it weren't for Woke poisoning EA.

We'll have to see how it goes.
