GameRottenHDPřed 2 měsíci

I really like Issac being more talkative in the remake. I feel like he only speaks when spoken too, and everything he says is straight forward and smart. I feel it brings him some nice character outside of just being told what to do from a screen.

• 

  Christoph LugerPřed 29 dny

  Yep. And the voice actor does a great job. Isaac is not cringe, he's an engineer who was just on a mission because of a distress call, like a normal work day for him. Then he found himself in hell.

• 

  Monkey ChukaPřed měsícem

  agree. He is pretty laconic so it isn't too jarring even if you prefer a silent protagonist. But in such a cinematic game, I prefer him talking and it made me actually think about his relationships with other characters. I still spent 90% of my time stomping, mind. And when he talks while stomping, it is hilarious!

• 

  Michael LochlannPřed měsícem

  me too. he's easier to empathize with especially with the Nicole stuff. I also like his relationship with the other crew members, makes it feel worse/more horror when they meet unfortunate ends.

• 

  Mr. WafflesPřed měsícem

  @Ian I think that was the biggest improvement, that Isaac was suggesting objectives. In the original it felt way too "gamey" that Isaac would just do whatever he's told and never have anything to say ever, and that made it feel like he was just some mindless pawn in the story with no autonomy.

Baz BPřed 2 měsíci

7:46 I found the Ishimura to be such a beautiful concept and notion. The idea of humanity tearing and cracking open dead worlds to feast on the ore inside? Sublime.

• 

  XerandPřed měsícem

  @Ernesto Aguas Yep, and with technology like planet cracking they DO have a fair shot at taking down those Moons. We never really saw what proper, informed human response is like in Dead Space. I don't count Dead Space 3 since that game couldn't really keep it together

• 

  Ra.NPřed měsícem

  @Baz B Something I love is how some parts of the remake referencing the moons. I think one of the logs discussing The Chruch of Unitology mentioned "uniting The Brethren". I really hope that not only we get a remake of Dead Space 2 but a straight up reimagining of Dead Space 3. DS3's action feels so disconnected with its story.

• 

  Baz BPřed 2 měsíci

  @Ernesto Aguas sometimes it really do be poetry.

  Ernesto AguasPřed 2 měsíci

  When you put it that way, humanity's motives are reminiscent of the Brethren Moons.

Gavin FultonPřed 2 měsíci

Having never played the original, I always felt like I had missed the boat a bit, even with the discourse surrounding 2 and 3, but I definitely wasn't into that type of game 10+ years ago. That said, things have changed and I am SUPER stoked to finally play this gem. I'm glad my impulse buy last night is solidified by this review. Lights out, headphones on!

JLBPřed 2 měsíci

I am absolutely in love playing this. It feels entirely familiar and yet completely brand new all at the same time. Loving all of the newly added areas to explore and how unpredictable the enemies are when you head back through spaces you’ve already cleared to find locked doors with the new security clearance system. The audio is *chiefs kiss*

  Kim PossiblePřed měsícem

  Can you cut off the limbs anywhere or is it only near the joints like in the original?

  Have you tried to the force gun yet? It is absolutely glorious! Was never a fan of it in the original but after watching the flesh being literally blasted off a necro's skeleton in one tap there's just no going back :D I'm on NG+ now and can't get enough

Sentinel of the Old WarPřed 2 měsíci

Something to keep in mind regarding Isaac's characterisation: While he didn't speak in the original, the mission objectives in your log were actually written from his perspective, and they did provide a window into what he was thinking throughout the events of the game (namely, that he was flat-out terrified).

• 

  SplattbinatPřed měsícem

  @Windy no only as mission objectives and only brief.

• 

  SplattbinatPřed měsícem

  I highly disagree with skill ups point on that matter. Isaac is an already predefined character and him being a stupid silent mute was very immersion breaking to me. He's not some tabula rasa character like the protagonist of Skyrim or anything like that. Thus I am extremely happy they decide against a silent protagonist. I never imagined Isaac as a killer in all the time I played Dead space original

• 

  Marsh MarshwellPřed 2 měsíci

  @Windy Yes there are still journal entries on top of him speaking, I played it

  Sentinel of the Old WarPřed 2 měsíci

  WindyPřed 2 měsíci

Kyle HallmanPřed 2 měsíci

I think Isaac talking is a huge improvement. I've never felt silent protagonists work quite well when it's not a self insert. For something like DS or Pokemon or whatever its fine. But Isaac has his own goals and mind, having him be voiced makes more sense. I get it, the first game has its own identity separate from 2, large in part to Isaacs silence echoed further by the silence and loneliness of the Ishimura itself. But for the sake of story and creating a character. His voice is a huge improvement.

Jacob SalcidoPřed 2 měsíci

100% agree this game is already blowing my mind 1 hour in. Interestingly enough, dead space 2008 was the survival horror that got me into this genre. Never before had i given it a chance. I'm glad I did because this has become one of my favorite genres ever.

SevenWhite7Před 2 měsíci

@SkillUp 'This being one of the few games in the genre capable of converting players into the Horror Survival genre', is such a true sentiment! It's 100% exactly the case for me; this game (the original, technically) was *the very game* that converted me to the genre. I loved it so much, I literally binged through both 1 and 2 in the same game session. It might have been the very first game that I'd ever done that with.

DominitusPřed měsícem

This review is epic. Kudos to both you and your editor. Top shelf work.

DonOfTheDeadPřed měsícem

Issiac is more than than a basic engineer, as soon as the game starts you find a codex that gives you his backstory his dad was a highly respected and accomplished engineer and Issac followed his footsteps.

  @Robot Six I understand your point, but I'll be holding my applause until they've proven they can make the right decisions consistently and treat their studios like teams and not assets. They did good here, really good in fact, but one great success does not wash away a litany of embarrassments. Not yet.

  @Jamie R Funny how all I want to play are single player games when all I wanted was a good CoD or Battlefield.

After beating this game and immediately starting NG+ this is 100% worth it. An overall complete improvement. I personally thought that the Voice actor that played Issac did it perfectly and it fleshed out the story in a more believable way. He just sounded so awesome with the helmet on. Also the old game still holds up and is still available to play with a silent Isaac.

americdeJPřed měsícem

Great review..I think they can remake this game, again, and improve it by giving Isaac multiple personalities you can choose from to play through.after all, him being silent in the original, left it up to your imagination on what his dialogue and reactions could be

Such great gaming memories from the first 2 dead space games. It was the first game I played (just released) after setting up my gaming room, it had surround sound and an HD projector. Scared the piss out of me. So happy the remake was made with care and I look forward to jumping back in on my current gaming set up.

Joel UnderwoodPřed 2 měsíci

I really hope the success and critical acclaim for this game allows EA to recognise how they are taking Motive for granted. I would love to see them create an original IP and utilise their talent and passion in a new way rather than being little more than support studio. Just reading their mission statement on their website has me excited to see what they make in the future.

Micah BecknerPřed 2 měsíci

I had a good feeling about this one from watching all the promotional and developmental stuff about it. Glad to see it lived up to its own legacy

Adie BernhardtPřed 2 měsíci

I never considered the horror of what the Ishimura actually IS, being a planet cracking machine, but you're dead on about that. The concept alone is scarier than I gave it credit for.

• 

  spaceidiot200Před měsícem

  honestly could see this type of vessel crafted in reality assuming we had the tech. Harvesting asteroids is already a pretty common idea, so this is just that but bigger. And there's plenty of floating lifeless rocks out there.

• 

  Agentcoolguy1Před měsícem

  @Anthony Fernandez The overwhelming majority of planets are empty and lifeless in the first place. If the Ishimura did discover a planet with a dead civilisation on it, they'd probably let someone know and I'd imagine archaeologists would claim the planet to study it.

• 

  TheMrDewilPřed 2 měsíci

  @Anthony Fernandez it's a damn shame the series never shed light on who the hell made those moons and markers. Where it all began, how and why.

• 

  TheMrDewilPřed 2 měsíci

  @Agentcoolguy1 My thoughts exactly. Nothing scary about the concept, as galaxy if full with empty planets that have nothing going on on them or in them, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of it. Although I have to admit that planet cracker concept gets a whole lot scarier if used in warfare, when the ship tears open planets with population still on them.

  Anthony FernandezPřed 2 měsíci

  @Agentcoolguy1 probably only because the necromorphs killed most alien races off

Power BellyPřed 2 měsíci

I’m only halfway through and it really does feel like a new game to me. It’s really really good. One thing I wish I knew to begin though, set the difficulty a notch harder from the outset, it feels too easy. That’s my 1 negative point at the halfway point.

King CrusoePřed 2 měsíci

I always trust your opinions on games; I understand your tastes pretty well after a few years of following your reviews really closely, so I can always watch them and just reference and compare the opinions presented therein with my own tastes to determine whether I'll enjoy it or if it's clearly not for me. I was interested in this remake since I never played the original, and the review put me over the edge, so I will at the very least buy it and give it a shot and see what it does for me as a result. Thanks for the fantastic review just as always.

Jonny FandangoPřed 2 měsíci

Been waiting all week for this review... was starting to get worried. So relieved that they pulled it off, especially after how Callisto ended up turning out. Just received my code, can't wait to play it tonight! I hope this is the start of the return of the franchise... there's a lot of fun to be had with this IP still!

Armando CardenasPřed měsícem

I absolutely loved the silent Isaac and true it made the much more immersive it made the game feeling like there was a lot more questions needed to be answered. But this new Isaac fits the role perfectly and adds so much more to the story and lore.

EndLevelBossPřed 2 měsíci

Phenomenal review! I agree the level of changes they have made to improve this classic are definitely worthy of its inclusion in GOTY discussions. They really knocked it out of the park. I love the original and can't wait to get my hands on this amazing remake this evening!

  AvengingFossilPřed 2 měsíci

  @The Rotten💯 The original commenter said that an anticipated game living up to expectations is a rare thing. This is just not true. There are tons of games that live up to expectations, you just need to stop looking at the same AAA giants like Blizzard and Ubisoft. If you're in a position where every game isn't living up to your expectations, then you simply aren't expanding your horizons. Start looking at AA and indie games as well (2022 was especially good for them!) So no. I'm not pushing for the normalization of these issues because I don’t have a need to consume predatory games in the first place.

I find Isaac being voiced in my opinion very interesting. Him being silent was really good and I feel like for this they went with relatability rather imaginative. Either way in my opinion voiced or not they killed it

Love the description that you "role play a hammer where everything is a nail" and that it is meant as a compliment to why the game and the character of Isaac works as the player avatar.

So, the melee combat wasn't an automatic slug fest that gave you the power to bash Biophage zombies' heads in, thereby making them less scary? What about backtracking, _a staple_ of the survival-horror genre? Was that in the game after all and we just missed it? Maybe you found some _actual_ puzzles that required some interesting solution? Or how about weapons? Were they really more than just different sci-fi firearms, with specific functions to boot? Not just secondary firing modes but genuine roles during combat? In other words, were some weapons more effective at taking out certain enemy ty- OH, SPEAKING OF WHICH! What about the enemy types? Are they hiding under a rock or something? Di- Did we miss something? As far as I can tell, most Biophage zombies are just different variations of infected prisoners and guards, safe for a few. Perhaps I'm wrong?

Bad RequestPřed 2 měsíci

still remember the first time i played the original dead space and encountered the first enemy. i immediately aimed for the head, cut it off and assumed it would fall to the ground. but then i was like "oh god it keeps coming" and started desperately firing at the body, which did very little. it was an amazing subversion of expectations

Stuart WilkePřed 2 měsíci

I'm only through the first two levels, I forced myself to save and quit as soon as I saw the Chapter 3 title pop. But holy crap, it is so nice to see the Ishimura with fresh eyes. Every change feels intuitive, like a natural evolution of what was already there and a backfilling of Dead Space 2's best aspects into the slower burn of DS1. Literally the one thing that took some getting used to was the slightly different controls, and those are fully remappable OR you can use presets that mimic Dead Space 1 or 2. Otherwise, it's a perfect balance between returning somewhere familiar and seeing that familiar place for the first time.

What a stark contrast from The Callisto Protocol. Great port, scarier, looks better than ever and New Game Plus included.

From the very announcement i thought it would be a dead space knock off while Motive constantly asked for players's opinions and showed gameplay, trailers, general videos and talked so damn much about their vision, praise for Visceral, what will be upgraded and why. I think the only reason anyone can think the callisto protocol was going to be better was if they refused to see anything related to the remake lol.

You are one of the first reviewers I have heard that wasn’t entirely on board with Issac having a voice in this game, but I can totally understand and appreciate your perspective on the topic. Personally I don’t have an issue with this change as we have pre-established character with DS2 and 3 that I have gotten used to, and it gives the reboot a fresher story experience. It’s awesome that they got the original actor on the project, and from what I heard and can tell, I believe they even used the actors face for this game’s depiction of Isaac.

Great breakdown and review. Really like your longer format with sections covering performance, mechanics, combat, sound design, visuals etc. Now I need to pluck up the courage to play the game. The original scared the crap out of me back in the day...and I was 25 when it came out, so its not even like I was a kid playing horror games for the first time (yes, I'm a wuss, it's the jump scares that freak me out). I'm feeling the anxiety just thinking about it 😳 😅

  You should get it, it was truly a fantastic game. Also it's fun to be scared once in awhile.

Loving it so far just wish the UI was easier to navigate with K+M. No mouse cursor in UI so u have to use mouse scroll or arrow keys to manage inventory. Same with the map. Rather than just moving it with your mouse you have to use arrow keys which feel so far out of the way when you are trying to be quick about things. Just a minor gripe, the older games had the same issue.

Way to go Motive you have earned my respect well done team.

The remade sfx for item pickups is EXACTLY what we want from a remake. Those sorts of noises capture a disproportionatly large part of our feelings for the game. For them to be remastered and not remade into something else is a subtle but significant indicator that the director behind this remake had the right vision.

I watch most of your reviews, and I always find myself taken aback at how eloquent and original your expression is. Keep it up!

I still remember when I first played the Dead Space game in 2008 that Asteroid shooting level was hard as fuck and even after all these years still gives me chills. I'm happy to hear that they've changed that level.

  You really thought that the Astroid level was hard? I thought it was easy. Idk what you’re smoking lol

  I would always unplug my controller and go keyboard and mouse for that section. Happy it has been changed too.

  @Matt Sands and it’s actually random. The asteroids aren’t static so it’s pretty cancer.

  Same here. I think that's where I checked out from the game way back then on PS3. Will be definitely checking this game out...again, but for good reasons.

A subtle but cool addition is the dialogue can change in some areas depending on whether you have low health.

Really great work on the review! Looks like they pulled an RE2make with this one.

Homu-Zombie [Beholder of Sauce]Před 2 měsíci

with the addition of isaac talking, it's mixed for me. I liked him being slient in the first game because it made me wonder at what point did he go crazy (with the whole nicole thing). On the other hand, he does talk in the following games and i liked that addition. That said, i own the original and i'll probably get this remake at some point so not like i can only choose one.

NakatomiPřed 2 měsíci

You'll probably get better drivers in the next couple of days from Nvidia and AMD deadicated to this game. And some patches I don't expect to play very high on my rx580 that's for sure, the lighting looks amazing and I love the fact you have a spot light to see reminds me of Doom 3

KekoaponoPřed 2 měsíci

Thank you for helping me to see that this game is much more than just a great game with a new coat of paint. A different review I saw left me with the impression that a recommended buy for the same game with better graphics was quite the recommendation given the $70 USD price tag. So, I thought I'd wait for a sale before buying the game, but thanks to your review I'm definitely willing to pay full price for this. This remake is the platinum standard for video game remakes, and I hope it will inspire other amazing remakes to come, including a Legacy of Kain remake with the Dead Space (2023) standard. It doesn't take much to impress most gamers with remakes; make the graphics and audio better, streamline a few things for quality of life, remove what didn't quite work and put in what works very well. Thanks for the great review, Shill Up!

Gustavus AdolphusPřed 2 měsíci

Man i feel so happy, dead space was always my favorite horror game, even more than resident evil, and to see it rise again, upgraded, better in every way, to see that EA did it right (something that doesn't happen very often) and that they did it right where it matters the most for me, this really, really makes me happy, this game was my shelter in one of the darkest moments of my life, so it has a special place in my heart, I even have glassy eyes rn.

H SparkyPřed 2 měsíci

Deadspace always held a special place in my heart , in 2008 when this came out it was the same week my grandpa died and while I was staying at home grieving (my school had a policy where you had to stay home for 5 days when a family member died) I spent the whole week playing and replaying it and it honestly helped me through the process by providing an amazing distraction during nights I felt sad needless to say I will be playing this after work today and drinking a cold one in honour of my grandpa lol

  @E M I should have reworded it I guess you werent necessarily forced to stay home but there was a policy where you were allowed to stay home for 5 days with no penalty - this was at a catholic school in Canada so I get it may not be the same across the board

I was pretty young in 08 when I played the original. I could only play it in increments of an hour or so before I had to switch out the disc in my PS3 to something more lighthearted like Burnout or Ratchet and Clank. It was a damn good game that still holds up to this day and it's fantastic to see Dead Space back again. I hope this leads to an eventual Dead Space 4.

  As nice as Dead Space 4 would be, it would probably have to be something entirely new. The ending of Dead Space 3 is pretty definitive haha

  @americangangster1911 Most people generally don't like 3 as much as the other two. My favorite was always Dead Space 2, but it's been 10 years since I played it. I can't remember what made the first two better than the third.

Rob slamsPřed 2 měsíci

I remember playing deadspace one and 2 back to back. You really feel the weight of Isaac's journey. I remember in two where he just calaspse and wants to give up and die. Super emotional. I will be grabbing right after God of war Ragnarok. Just killed Heindall so I think I'm close as hell.

I did have one visual bug where the Hunter's limbs flashed in and out of existence along with its growls when they did in a single hallway but other than that no issues lol fantastic remake

It's amazing how a game made in 2008 still holds up so well today. I feel like we've lost something in video games that we used to have back then.

ShakespeareptPřed 2 měsíci

I have the exact same feeling about Isaac being a silent protagonist. I’m sure it doesn’t ruin the experience, but it must detract a little from the original feel of the game. 🤷‍♂️ Ah well, the other improvements look pretty cool.

  Daniel GeronimoPřed 2 měsíci

  @Oops Kid That's quite debatable tbh, as others have already said, a remake of this is kinda unnecessary but here we are and it's better than ever. Plus with the new ending, and the systems they have introduced in the remake, it would be interesting how it can tie in with the rest of the franchise.

• 

  PoleybearPřed 2 měsíci

  @Rue Celess I love ds2 so I wouldn't want them to change that too much but I'd love if they completely redid dead space 3 because alot of parts in that game are worse than 1 and 2.

• 

  John ShieldsPřed 2 měsíci

  @Oops Kid I thought the same thing about DS1, but then Motive dropped this bomb on me an I'd love to see what they could do with the series, whether it be a whole new game or another remake, I'm all for it.

  PSYMEDICPřed 2 měsíci

  Would rather hope they make DLC's for this game. I don't think Dead Sapce 2 is in dire need of a remake. Don't get me wrong, but i think some fresh wind would be better. New stories, environment and enemies.

  @Oops Kid you could argue that the original dead space remake was unnecessary but no one is complaining about it

basicnikolasPřed 2 měsíci

System Shock 2’s reboot would greatly benefit from a “Intensity Director” system as well. And I think it could flow better diegetically considering SHODAN and XERXES have control of different parts of the ship, almost like they’re psychologically tormenting you the player

Mayor Of SexyTownPřed měsícem

I want to play this so bad. This would be such a good game for gamepass. I think a lot of people are in the same boat where they want to play it but dont want to spend so much on a remaster. That being said it does look amazing and worth the money. I just don't have the kind of cash where i can spend that much on something i have already played a few times.

So I never played the original DS since I was heavy heavy into WoW at that time back in 2008, but as a fan of Resident Evil survival horror games, I feel really lucky getting to experience DS for the very first time with the remake! I'm only about 2 hours in so far, and I'm loving it! I can only play for about 20-30 minute intervals since my heart and anxiety sky rocket each session lol

For the Steam Deck I heard you can get it somewhat playable if you install it to the internal Drive.
