Dead Space remake - Before You Buy 

Jake’s narration was oozing with enthusiasm, much like a necromorph and now I too am infected with the hype

My favorite part of the remake is how much the Ishimura feels like 1 ship instead of multiple separate sections divided by tram loading screens and chapters like the original was

The only reviews I genuinely enjoy. Jake and Falcon never disappoint.

First played Dead Space in 2010 when I was a Sophomore in college. Introduced me to the world of survival horror. One of my all-time favorite games

I always like that about dead space is that you weren’t some overbloated space marine that just had to use tools because you didn’t have access to regular weapons. It’s way more immersive as an engineer using what he knows, the tools of his trade.

Holy crap, that moment at 6:26 where the necromorph was silhouetted and its eyes were glowing as it stumbled toward you... the atmosphere in this remake looks so awesome

Some remakes I could live without. I'm very happy with this one

I really do appreciate this channel and how accurate the takes on games are here. It's as if I previewed the game myself. Since I've been coming to this channel, I've never been let down. I'm sure I've saved quite a bit of money as well. I can't say it enough, thanks for all you guys do.

Answered my biggest questions about the remake and can’t wait to get my hands on it! Thank you guys for all your work and high quality reviews 🙏

This is the first game I've genuinely looked forward to release in a LONG time and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Im someone who never got to play deadspace when I was younger just due to me being too scared and a little too young. This remake gave me the chance to finally play it and man do I absolutely love it. If you’re someone who has never played deadspace and you’re questioning the price tag I would go for it. It feels like a full price worthy modern day game. Now if you’re someone who already played the og maybe it’s a little different then. But for first timers and people who think they might be interested and aren’t certain I have absolutely nothing but GOOD things to say about the game. It’s just a lot of fun to play and immerse yourself

I just love how Jake breaks it down in every of his before you buy videos. It makes way easier for me to make a decision on whether I want to buy it or not

This is great news! I needed this after preordering both The Callisto Protocol and Dead Space. This will be my first playthrough of any Dead Space game and I'm looking forward to it!

I've never played dead space before, glad to hear the remake is good. I'm looking forward to getting this one!

The nostalgia is on an all time high, LOVED this game when it first came out

Does anyone else watch these AFTER buying? 😂😂

I appreciate how you guys never fail to provide an enthusiastic and in depth review of games. Keep up the great work!

The zero-g sections in the original damn near game me motion sickness at times. So glad to see they fixed that with the jetpack and 360 degree movement. Also, I heard the gawdawful turret sections have been revamped to be...not so gawdawful. I'll bet Falcon is over the moon with that change. Many a gameranx top 10 list mentioned that section and never in a positive way.

I love the effort and passion the team have for recreating this masterpiece. Was so fucking good in 2008 and nothings changed. While I have massive respect to the developers for really putting their best foot forward in looking to the fans for support in the production of it, I just can’t help but have a sense of disdain for the the publisher, EA, for not knowing the potential of this series and recognizing the talent of the former visceral studios. The fact that they made this beloved franchise, just for EA to acquire them and force what they thought was the next innovation of the industry into developers that did not intend to incorporate what the publisher was demanding (Ex. BioWare with anthem, fallout 76, any open world game by Ubisoft, etc.) just to end up completely liquidating the company as well as lay off the team that is the reason for their success in making this remake today. I’m excited to see where these remakes go but so fucking sad to think about what could have been if EA gave the same considerion to visceral as they do for the current publishers of the remake

My guy on the far right at 7:18 shows how excited he is at going back inside that ship.

God, I love this channel. Thank you crew for the content!

Great to see it's not a cash-grab. Great job, Motive. Wish Callisto Protocol had the same passion.

Played it for a few hours last night with lights off and headphones on. Really fun and immersive game. Can't get over the constant whispering. The sound design is perfect. The music picks when enemies are near

Loved this series since all the way back in 2009 (played after initial game launched) and even watched one of the animated movies. My copy of remake comes in today can't wait to dig in this weekend. Awesome review Jake 👍

I have so many good memories playing the first 2 games. I feel like remaking the second game is a must now. Those two games are solid and at times the second game could really use remastered graphics

A Triple A game remake that releases finished, functional, and true to the original? I am so excited to play this!

2:44 the way he hit that box & set it flying was *chef's kiss* perfect

Oddly enough, my buddy introduced me to 2 in like 2012 or 13 so I started with it. When I played the original a year or 2 later I never even finished it so I'm pretty excited to play this version essentially for the first time.

One of my favorite games ever. Can’t freakin wait

Was rooting for Callisto to be more successful and well made. As good as this surprisingly turned out, can’t help to feel it’s a bad sign that we’re only going to see dozens more of remakes coming at this point.

7:17 that little stepping broke me ROFLOL.

I've finished dead space 1&2 years ago 5/6 times. I was waiting on the reviews and bought the deluxe edition right away after I saved enough. It's totally worth the price for even a dead space veteran. I'm so happy that Dead space is getting the love and treatment it so much deserves.

It has been very funny seeing the same thing: Motive nailed it. People had low expectations for this, and high for Callisto. Everything I've seen so far, the inverse has happened.

It's gotten to the point where if I'm interested in getting a game, I'll check to see if there's a Before You Buy or if SkillUp has covered it. Thanks for being reliable, consistent and honest for all these years, guys!

Your reviews are absolutely enjoyable. Always in point, very detailed and even hilarious from time to time. I always live to watch them, keep up the great job. Now I need to go to play this reborn masterpiece! 😎

My initial introduction into dead space was the anime that released forever ago, not long after played the first game and was blown away. I was disappointed with how it initially ended so hopefully there’s a redemption arc for the series as a whole down the line

A review that I can say, nailed the game from A to Z in details too Thanks guys

Thanks Jake! Great overview! I loved the first two and enjoyed the third, but never finished it. Really happy to hear they added more content and those environments look awesome. Especially the foggy area towards the end of your vid. Also really cool that they gave Issac an actual personality and voice now.

Remember watching my late oldest brother playing this game. Been a blast playing the remake and seeing what's old and what's new.

Thanks for such a great channel! I'm definitely adding this to my wishlist

I played through the original Dead Space and only vaguely remember specific story/gameplay details, but I remember being really impressed with it at the time and having a blast dismembering and curb stomping aliens. Personally, I'm most likely going to wait for the remake to go on sale before I pick it up, but if this is going to be your first Dead Space experience I could see it being worth the launch price. Great game.

Yo! I'm a newer watcher, probably been watching this series for about 6 weeks or so. I gotta say, I love your content. I disagree with SOME of it but that's just part of the game (Pun intended, see what I did there? 😂) but mostly spot on reviews. Keep up the good work and thank you for making these videos!! CANNOT wait to see one for R.E.4 remake and Tears of the Kingdom!

7:18 keep an eye on the dude on the right lol.

I really respect Gameranx and enjoy the videos immensely. I would like Before You Buy to cover more than just the big name games. Perhaps I could submit a list of games I'm thinking of buying and even if ya only did 5 or 6 it would help me a lot. 😁

Lovely before you buy episode! Thanks gameranx 🙌

Looks awesome, looking forward to trying it out

The video was encouraging, and the comments are too. I played the original a year or two after it came out, but I got busy with life and never finished it. I think I'll have to get this. The graphics should be great on my PS5. Thank you Jake! I love your reviews, they are my go to for deciding what games I want to buy!

That "Hello" in the intro! lmao. 😂 I never played the OG Dead Space ( I was in high school and took a long hiatus from gaming), but I remember seeing it when it released, and reminded me of Event Horizon, an underrated horror film by my standards.

Must buy after this review. Jake seems truly excited for this in a way that he normally isn’t…..and his ‘normal’ reviews are always great. Buying now - hopefully it runs well on Xbox as I think I want to chill on my couch and play this one….👍👍

I am so excited for this game. I'm gonna replay the whole series since it's all on Gamepass. I already bought and pre-downloaded the remake on my XSX. As soon as I get off work I'm going straight to Gamestop to pick it up and play it immediately. It's gonna be awesome to go back and play these games man I'm so excited dude 😊

This game always has a special place in my heart. It was when my brother and I were both done with university and were living together. It was a fun year and a half as we would go shop for second hand games often. The original dead space was one we picked up from the bargain bin and didn't really have high expectations. We went in completely oblivious and just loved the game as soon as we played through the first few minutes. I'm glad they came out with a remake of the original and updated it. Looks like more fond memories to be made with this new/old game!

It's funny that I saw the IGN review recommended to me and the only thought I had was wait that's not gameranx, great video :)

Looking forward to picking this up day 1. Dead Space was one of my all time favorite games, so I'm glad to hear they did the remake justice. Side note: the walking animation on the guy on the right 7:20 gave me a solid laugh.

I've been subscribed to you since 2015 before *MGSV: The Phantom Pain* came out and no one is able to keep me as entertained and informed at the same time like you guys. I watch every single *Friday News* and *Before You Buy,* and even most of the other videos. I probably have more watch time on you than my entire anime backlog.. Thank you, for everything. Much love.❤

HUGE fan of the series, play thru it almost yearly. have taken off school and or work for every title in the series, including today for the remake. Crazy I was still in high school when the first one came out, but reading about it in Game Informer quite a while before it came out is one of the reasons i got a 360

I’ve bought this and I’m so glad it’s turned out great. I was so gutted Callisto Protocol didn’t turn out so well so I can’t wait to get stuck into this. I haven’t touched any dead space games since the original

We’re gonna see ALOT of remakes in the next 5 years. They’re trying to capture the magic from gaming back in the day. It’s hard for newer IPs to do it but I’m excited 🤝🏽

Of all the games that are gonna be coming out soon, this was easily the one I was most hyped for. I'm so glad they nailed it! The Callisto Protocol & Forspoken launches had me worried as it seems like no AAA company is competent enough to push out a working game anymore...

Wow! a positive review at last! Perhaps due to the fact that it was not focused on the technical aspects of the game (which are nothing to write home about) but about the game design itself? Anyway I am happy to see this for a change. Keep it positive and keep it up!

Dead Space was the first game I played after my family got and HDTV and it was mind-blowing. Cool to see that this remake does the same thing, and recalibrate some of the gameplay and level design. It is an amazing game, but some sections were super unimaginative and clunky.

15 years later, I’m still excited about dead space. I’m a diehard fan and I ended up getting the marker tattooed on my arm. It’s amazing that they remade it but they remade it so well that if anybody who’s never played that space plays it, it’s going to be a fun first ride and a smooth first ride at that.

I truly hope Motive remakes number 2 and then creates a 3rd one.

@gameranx I can't wait for this game. I'm playing the original on twitch cause I never beat it..ended up having to restart sometimes ago due to not having enough ammo for chapter 6's boss on hard. After seeing your video looking forward to it even more!! Another Great Video!

Haven't finished, but I liked going through the game and remembering the maps, enjoying the changes they made.

Dead Space 2 doesn't need a remake imo, that game holds up remarkably well. I notice that DS1 remake's many changes include things that DS2 already has. 360 movement in zero Gs, Isaac Clarke having a face and voice, more cinematic, better combat. It'll probably be remade anyway though...

I'm a fiend for Dead Space. Mastered all of them on the hardest difficulties and this one is looking to take the crown of difficulty to satisfaction express. It's like going on your favorite trails and a new owner comes in and adds some of their own flair to the beaten path. Something old is something new again.

I actually just finished the trilogy last month only, but I am freaking excited for this remake. And with all the good news it's definitely going on my wish list. Going to be waiting for a sale, however,

That "hello" intro bro, some joey style from friends sitcom.. waiting to hear next the "how u doing" line ha

This is one of the best games of ALL TIME!

I had a lot of fun with -Calypso- Callisto Protocol, and if this is as fun as you say, then I’m in for a scary good time! I never played the original trilogy, so I’m looking forward to it!

I started it yesterday and was lucky to receive it a day early. And having a blast like the 1st time I played it. Is probably my favorite survival horror

Looking forward to playing this. I absolutely loved the Callisto protocol even though it had some pretty negative reviews

Im loving these before you buy series.

After hearing the good feedback for this I’d be interested in seeing them remake 2. Hopefully they can make that last corridor before the final boss fight feel more manageable. I freaking hated having to deal with that invincible terminator necromorph. Was easily the worst part of 2 which was a masterpiece prior to that section but I literally considered quitting several times during that section.

7:17 What's up with that leg shuffle with the dude all the way to the right? lol

7:19 that dude on the far right xD whats with the small steps lol

What a good way too end January with Dead Space, gotta support so we get another game!

Thanks Jake! 👍🏽

One thing I've noticed between this and the original is that in the original, Isaac was unable to look to his right. It was probably just a bug or something, but I always saw it as subtle foreshadowing towards the ending of the game. That's not present in the remake, sadly leaning into it just being a bug or something

7:17 what was that walking animation? Lil tippy taps lol

I've never played dead space before, but the positive reviews I saw got me intrigued. This review convinced me to buy it. I almost think I will like it even more going in as my first dead space experience.

I really appreciate this return to traditional survival horror in gaming.The return of Silent Hill and more Resident Evil makes me very happy. I hope we see more additions to Dead Space in the future

07:18 nice tap dance on the right :D

One of my all time favorite video games. Can't wait to get my hands on this one. Thanks for the video

Hey Gameranx! Thanks for your hustle and entertainment guys! I am looking forward to this afterwork!! 🎉

Except games I plan to buy well in advance, I always use this channel for games I'm unsure about. Thanks for saving my wallet from floating away!

I remember playing it when it first came out and I was like 7-8 when it came out and I only made it through the first level, definitely gonna have to pick this up soon!

This is a review I can appreciate - you did an amazing review- I played all the dead space games - the first dead space is one of my favorite games of all time - I was excited for this remake and just started playing it today and I had a blast so far. Can’t wait to get back on and enjoy it some more. Do I want them to do a remake of the other dead space games? No I would love to see them make a second dead space but not a remake - I want them to make dead space 2 like it should of been made and give us something new and twisted. Thanks for the review

Hell yes. Arguably one of the best games ever.

Last month I was debating to get this or wait for RE4. Lo and behold, I got both lol

Towards the end of last year I went back and finished up achievements on ds1 to 3. The original 3 still hold up well imo. I still preordered the remake cause I love dead space can't wait to play when I get in from work today 😁

I really hope they do a remaster of 2 and 3 to bring it all into consistent line (though those two still stand up well on their own). I want to see this lead into a revival of the dead space franchise. I think it's got potential for more than just survival-horror. Telling stories both before and after the brother moons arrive would be great IMO.

I am pleasantly surprised by how good this remake looks! Remakes often fall short, in my opinion, but Dead Space looks like everything I want a remake to be. I would be super excited if they were to add multiplayer to the remake, but I can recognise that such a thing might not work with the original story and gameplay.

I can't count the number of hours I spent in the original. It makes me so happy to see that this iteration is getting good reviews.

I just bought it and started it, having never tried the originals. I love it! It plays like Resident Evil but on "easy" mode. Not easy as in difficulty but just with less time consuming puzzles. Its great.

that hello at the start made me chuckle

I’m hoping HBO is gonna grab Dead Space a make a Series with a budget like Last of Us or more. Would def be selling ! 🎉😂

Dead Space Remake >>> Callshitsto Protocol

7:18 Look Chen dancing with his steps excited to enter Ishimura.
