Dead Space Thread

Trophy list for the remake came out and it revealed some more details about the game. The trophy names for the chapters are the same as they were in the original, which tells me that, for the most part, the story beats should be the same as the first game. However, the biggest change is that they've added in an alternate ending, beside the main one. The trophy for it being titled Reunion. In terms of side content, one of the trophies involves finding out how mercer created the Hunter (the regenerating necromorph), while another involves helping Isaac's hallucination of Nicole pursue some investigation. There also appear to be collectible marker fragments throughout the ship.
My bet is the alternate ending will be the hallucination of Nicole getting Isaac to off himself or some shit after he places the Marker on it's pedestal.
DS1 had rather normal texture quality for its era, nothing mindblowing, but whoever worked on the shaders for that game was a genius
No better place to show it off then that one room without oxygen in the crew deck chapter, I still remember first time stepping into this room I honestly thought the game was bugged and the lighting fucked up.

Yeah there was non-existent atmosphere lighting for the entirety of that level. I blame UE3 as a developer oversight since it was known to break level lighting a lot. Though pitch black fumbling in the dark with the 02 timer would probably have been more frustrating than scary.

"just collect these marker fragments bro"
The remake devs don't consider Dead space: aftermath and what happened to the last guy hauling around marker fragments.

Wonder if the "alternate ending" is referring to the death where issac gets his head replaced.

I suspect that 99% of the problems with modern games having terrible graphics compared to all the space they take up is because they attempt to use massive textures and polygon counts to cover up for terrible shader implementation. SupCom uses shaders on units to get them to look so super-detailed when you zoom in, F.E.A.R. is all about shaders and shading, and then you have Nexus: TJI which for a game a bunch of Hungarians kludged together in lieu of another Imperium Galactica still looks simply magnificent even today thanks to clever shader use.

Hell, even more modern games massively benefit from new shaders. If anyone has Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, go check out the Sins: Remastered mod.

Maybe they're also going to ignore the "everything's fucked forever, you wasted your time, fuck off and die" ending of the 3rd game while they're at it. That would be nice.
 
I don't know if this was posted before, I saw this on the EA app a couple of days ago. 5 bonus suits available in the digital deluxe version of the game. No N7 variant.

Glad they are bringing back the tank suit in some form. Probably one of the best looking cosmetics for a game ever.

Wait, did people actually think Awakened was the real ending? Did everyone forget that there were supposed to be 2 more DLCs set after it which would involve Isaac and Carver basically fighting the apocalypse as the Brethren Moons attack Earth (which never materialized because EA)?

"So, we didn't have everything we needed to make this dish and only half-cooked most of the ingredients, but let me tell you, it would have been amazing if we got it right!"
What the devs did or didn't plan to make doesn't make any difference, it's what the customer ended up getting. And what we got was "You wanted a satisfying ending? Lol, thanks for the money, sucker!" around the time as other long-running franchises (Mass Effect in particular) did the same thing. All the "woulda-coulda-shoulda" in the world won't fix what got released, because nothing else came after it. Real ending or not, that's the long brown note it ended on.
Now, all that said, if they manage to not fuck the remakes up long enough to get to that point and then end the series on their once-planned finale instead of a massive wet fart, I'd be pretty happy about it. I'm just not holding my breath because it's a remake in Current Year.

To be fair to Visceral, Dead Space 3 was the result of EA fucking them over hard. Mass Effect 3 was completely intentional.
 
This popped up on youtube. As someone said in another thread he is ear rape but if you can ignore that you will find that he is mediocre.
Most other reviewers that have a half decent track record are giving the game praise too, probably a good thing they kept it so in line with the original, I'd rather a remake of a dead franchise play it safe and be good and mean the series might get revived then them try to do their own thing and probably fail and put a nail in the coffin of the franchise as a result.

Just as I was parking my car he got to the point where he called people out for talking about how Nicole looks old as shit while Isaac looks younger. It's amazing that people can't just call out devs for intentionally making women ugly to comfort real life ugly women.

I have no problem with nu-Nicole really. I just hope they put Kendra's eyes even closer together this time and when they remake it for the third time in 2028 she's a full cyclop.

Do these actually change stats like in the og game or are they just cosmetic? Either way, fuck these Jews for trying to push their goddamn "digital" shit, make it available for both physical and digital.

That’s why awakened is the ending, because nothing came after so it became the official ending. Dead Space 4 was gonna happen but was cancelled.

You sorely underestimate the hubris of the post 2010 game developer.
