Dead Space Thread

Just make Dead Space 4. Anything from the 2010’s shouldn’t even be considered for a remake.
Trust me dude, you don't fucking want this. It was mercifully cancelled but leaks showed the alpha build to be a micro transaction heavy pseudo Ubisoft style open world game with a cash shop and paid cosmetics.

It's a very good thing DS4 never materialized.
 
Frankly this should've been a remaster rather than a remake, most of the changes were between pointless and retarded. The 3D zero-G ruined many levels that were made for the old zero-G system but these lazy shits didn't remake the levels to compensate for that, except for the trench and leviathan near the com-array where they replaced the epic trench stage and the cannons for some bullshit short segment.

Also they completely ruined hammond, he was supposed to be a figure of authority not your buddy, and the way he acts and how kendra manipulates you makes you think he's gonna fuck you over. Also he died fighting a brute, now he gets rekt by a slasher, fucking weak.

I'm glad they didnt raceswap mercer for muh evil whitey man, tho I don't get why they turned kyne into a twink. Some are sperging about nicole but she was already made uglier and older in DS2, tho now she looks more like isaac's mom. He also got changed and made uglier, don't know why. As for kendra she's flat now, all female characters are flat and meh looking because we can't have pretty ladies in vidya anymore, might trigger some morbidly obese dangerhair or a tranny who will never pass, same shit drunkman said in tlou2 where every actress looked 2x better than the characters based on them. Also they made kendra, the other main antagonist, a lesbian, is that a dig at terf lesbians? who knows, tho she was way more a bitch in the original game, that part with isaac trying to save her before the hivemind kills her was completely out of character given what she done to him, and also the kill scene is way more tame, probably because muh feelz.

They didn't bring DS3's awesome craft system which was one of the few saving graces of that game, bummer. They also cut isaac's signature cool af folding helmet for the old one, why? no idea, that's the first thing I thought they would retconn given that it already existed in tau volantis 200 years ago.

>plays M-rated horror game with "DEAD" in the title
>still needs trigger warnings

Remember when karens bought GTA for their kids, another M-rated game, then bitched about the violence and the entire industry told them to get fucked?

Remember when they even told shillary to get fucked? now they cuck down to a handful of whiny cunts, the absolute state of videogames...

"Its a dystopian post-mass extinction dead galaxy ruled by megacorps and a huge death cult full of fundies is the only religion left but at least we have hecking non-binarino bathrooms!"

Did the retards who did this forgot that the OG game had a ton of black humor about corporatespeak and corpoculture? Or maybe they did and that's why they included this, but who am I kidding of course it flew over their heads, most radlibs are corpo dicksuckers nowadays.
You are trying way too hard, dude.

Anyways, a little detail that I liked:
you can go back to the Kellion in zero g and the co-pilot's mangled corpse is still there.
 
Typical for a current year product to have so many flaws in an otherwise decent product.
I like the updated visuals and layout of the ship, but I hate how they changed some of the characters.
The original voice actors for Hammond and Kyne were way better.
I dislike how they just took the face scan of Nicole's 50 year old voice actress and did no changes, Nicole is also now a
rabid anti unitologist and spends all her time converting people away from the church. Everything about the original Nicole is gone.
The original game was more subtle in framing CEC as a dystopian megacorporation, the remake never relents in bitching about capitalism.
CEC does have gender neutral bathrooms though, so all is forgiven I guess.

Interesting. Any screenshots?



I think they did a good job with the plot. I was really concerned they'd do something drastic like kill Issac, but even the alt ending is pretty interesting in how it sets up ds2.

Does ds2 need to be remade? Ehhh. The idea of an open world ish space colony sounds awesome and I really would like more interactions with survivors like in the original build, But it's not really needed. 3 is the most in need of a remake, especially if they want to go for the original idea and make it more cerebral and uncomfortable.

If I'm not mistaken Issac was supposed to be half insane the entire game and the coop partner was a hallucination overlapping a real person that kept changing depending on the situation.

Considering how ugly most of the armor was in DS3, its probably for the best.

Wish they didnt recycle the DS1 alpha hud for the remake from what I saw in gameplay videos so far. It has the same font and everything. It just doesn't feel like dead space to me.
 
Depends on the context.

If it was randomly inserted by some troon to "own the chuds" then it's cringe.

If the joke is that in 2022 corporations are generally portrayed as woke instead of corrupt and shady like they were when the game was originally released that's actually pretty funny.
 
The amount of people I trust praising this game unanimously is a little concerning to me. I’m sure it’s a great game to play but it’s only a great game because it’s a 1:1 remake of an already great game. I don’t even care about the SJW pandering shit but people are acting like this is the greatest video game ever made when it’s literally just Dead Space 1 with better graphics and a few changes, it’s basically a few steps above a remaster.

There’s plenty of great remakes, (REmake, Metroid: Zero Mission, Yakuza Kiwami) but the difference is that those games were actually doing something creative by remaking an outdated game and turning it into something new and original. The original Dead Space is not outdated and does not need reworking by any means and if you think it does you’re probably not old enough to legally purchase Dead Space.

Even though I liked it, the overwhelming success of RE2make has started this awful trend of game companies reviving their dead horror IPs and remaking games that have already proven to be successful to make a quick buck and people are just eating it up. The video game industry really is just turning into Hollywood.

Pretty much this,

Even though I'm enjoying it so far, I'm pretty sure a lot of people are giving it higher marks in hopes Dead Space as a franchise gets revived. What else is there, Silent Hill? Silent Hill isn't ever going to reach even close to the high marks of the original trilogy (4 was good but had some serious flaws). RE2make was much more justified for people who played the OG RE2 than DS Remake and SH2 Remake because the jump from a late 90s game to 00s game is probably the biggest leap games ever did in just a few years, and RE really came roaring back with RE7 and the revival of RE didn't relay on a beloved game getting the remake treatment.

But also let's be honest, this remake wasn't greenlit for people who played the OG, it's because people who were in their early years of elementary school when DS came out in 2008 are now old enough to drink, and Dead Space is a recognizable horror IP that's been sitting in the dust bin for a decade, same with Silent Hill, SH2 is a lot more known about than SH1 is which is why it's getting the remake.
 
I wouldn't recommend the remake. It seems like the only voice actor who actually wanted to be there was Gunner Wright/Isaac clarke and the rest are the kind of assholes that purposely make everything they aren't 200% into, as awkward as possible. That is whenever they aren't talking like they are being rushed out the door. They're a few steps above Silent Hill voice acting. Kein's VA didn't fit the character at all and Isaac would not have just cut him off all the time before he could even say anything.

They did a better job at making mercer a more fleshed out villain besides "random sandnig who sics a mutated regenerator at you" but besides that and the fresh coat of paint, they really didn't do the game any justice. The original has aged very well for being almost 20 years old and is a better time. Could have really done without the slow jewish villain waddle and pauses you'd see in anything from hollywood.

The original was made by people who actually played video games to make a better, hudless, RE4. Which they did. and not clout chasing yuppies giving their discord clique free reign of the project. You can really tell the night/day difference here.
 
I got the game yesterday and made a side by side comparism for the first minutes. The new one surely is a bit slower paced and having Isaac speak is a bit strange. Especially when you know how he sounded in Dead Space 2 (my favorite is "Fuck you! And fuck your marker!") Also, I had a praphics mod for the original installed.

I for one like the side quest thing (i am at Chapter 04 at the moment so i am not sure if this branches of more) as it seems to be focused on Nicole and to me it fits perfectly as you get a feel what she was doing when shit went down. Though ffs can no PC game dev nowadays optimize a game? I have a pretty strong PC and i haven't even fully maxed the graphics and I have sometimes "slow downs" in the game
 
I hope someone will fix these [current year] signs with a mod.

Fix the current year signs, and make the women look less like hags or goblins. Also bring old Isaac back.
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about the script changes. I kinda dislike how originally Nicole was completely innocent, finding herself in a terrible situation because of advice given by Isaac. It gives a decent explanation for why he feels guilty.
Now that Nicole is a master at reeducating unitologists and served on the Ishimura to deconvert the crew her role as a victim is lessened.
