If you've been watching Suzi's videos for years now you might have noticed she occasionally drop some subtle hints that she might be a survival/action horror fan. Blink and you might have missed it though.
I think Ill drop my subscription. I looked at her cute cartoon avatar and Ive been waiting for a Barbie's Dreamhouse Horse Trainer review and walkthrough for years now. And instead she just keeps doing these fringe obscure under the radar titles like some kind of hipster proving how cool and "rare" her taste is. What a misleading woman, she should have just come out and told us long time fans that she is into this horror stuff and not a barbie girl, in a barbie world.
Nah, she's totally new to gaming. She never talks about the true classic games like Resident Evil 6 or Nier, only the super new stuff. Give her some time though and I'm sure she'll grow into gaming.
Bro i know. I foolishly convinced myself that Callisto was gonna be a forsure banger and ended up being so fucking dissapointed that ive just been super worried about this game. Im so glad it ended up good
We need more remakes like this and REmake; remakes that not only make an old game again for modern hardware, but also build and add to it instead of just being a carbon copy with much better visuals
@The lamb sauce I was having similar situation as you but mine was back in December just before CP was released. I have my money ready and both games has the same price. Strange things start to happen in my mind/instinct at that time and it was saying like "don't pre order CP, take DS Remake instead". Bro, my hand literally shaking to decide and my mind says again "trust me, take Remake". I can't thankful enough whatever my mind was doing at that time but i'm grateful for it. Thank you, my brain🧠
@@redhakiim789 bro I almost pre-ordered Calisto the day before launch , got a notification on my PS App, I stopped myself and said wait for the review because DS is is coming out too. So glad I waited.
One of the things that I really enjoyed about Isaac in this game is how much the writers incorporated his knowledge as a engineer to solving the problems on the Ishimura. That was true in the original too, but with him being fully voiced it’s interesting to here him work through and come up with solutions to the issues that plague the ship, and it makes him feel like the most important person on this mission because he’s literally the only one who can solve these problems. It just makes him stand out compared to a lot of other video game protagonists where their solution to the conflicts they face in their own games is just to “shoot the gun good”
Eh, in the first game it was everyone elses ideas really to do things. You pressed buttons in the original. Something arguably cringe before the remake even.
There's a series going on with one of the original developers of the first game, and he basically gushes at every single time Isaac has agency in the story. It's great.
One of the most surreal things I've done in my playthrough was get close to the waypoint of the endgame but before I did I literally turned around and explored the entire Ishimura taking in all the little details. It was wild.
@@jonesygrets6029 Go for it. Necromorphs popping out of vents isn’t scary when you begin expecting it. And there is so much to find. Good luck. Still exploring the whole map myself
I'm so happy they got Gunner Wright back for Isaac. It was bold to give him a voice after DS1, but he did such a good job that I'm happy they kept him for the remake.
Perfectly redone story, better combat and exploration, more menacing necro attacks. The remake is nothing but more goodness on the original's legacy. A big connection I noticed to the previous games is in how Isaac makes the crazy decisions. "I gotta enter the ADS trench and recalibrate the cannons in an asteroid rainstorm." "I gotta enter Food Storage and finish off the Leviathan." "I gotta mess with dangerous mining equipment to plant an SOS beacon on an asteroid." It ties directly with the line in DS2 when Isaac has to return to the Ishimura. "Isaac, no! This is a really bad idea!" "Stick around. I'm full of bad ideas."
One of my favorite lines from this remake is "Isaac, that is an incredibly bad idea" or smthn along those lines before facing one of the bosses and he replies with "Well, Im all out of good ideas, so guess whats left."
@@marcovalencia146 That one is awesome but my favourite is when at the end he just screams: "Fuck this ship" and then they someone says "Praise Altman" and he's like "And fuck altman too!"
@@SPACECOWBOY705. Not necessarily; After all, the new guys did their job fine in Ancient Gods Part 1 and 2 in DOOM Eternal, though I'd be lying if I said I DIDN'T miss Mick Gordon's shredding.
The only bad thing I can say about the Dead Space remake is that it makes me care about the characters now and makes everything that happens to them more heart wrenching.
This remake was a dream come true for me. I’m a huge dead space fan and I was grinning from ear to ear during my entire playthrough and I can’t wait to dive into NG+.
@@thegoatarmy6699 Yes! You hit the nail in the head with that one. That was the word I was looking for but couldn't for the life of me remember it, for these kinds of videos Suzie's voice and way of speaking becomes therapeutic.
One very small detail I loved when I saw it in game is the robotic arms on the infirmary beds that basically foreshadow what the patient will turn in to
Honestly, the game now feels a bit closer to System Shock 2 in terms of progression and exploration, thanks to the additions of a fully interconnected Ishimura and the clearance system. The moment I got access to the Ishimura's tram system, it immediately gave me vibes of using the Von Braun's main elevator to get back and forth between each decks to do certain things. Especially when you get the mission relating to look for special RIGs within all sectors of the ship. That's a pretty cool side mission, in my opinion.
I’m actually amazed how hard they nailed this. Making the Ishimura like the spencer mansion but with random encounters solves the flaw of DS1 where you would feel safe after clearing most of a level . This gonna be scary as heck
@@punishedsteak5150 I am experiencing that a bit. If you play well you can end encounters with more resources than you used which lets you buy nodes and juice super hard. At least the node trees are gated by the part system. Maybe they implemented that for this very reason
Lol this is just wrong. You never feel safe in DS1. I mean the necromorphs attack you literally when everything is cleared and you are upgrading on the bench... and just one of the many examples
Finding the guns directly and allowing you to reset power nodes are such welcome changes. I remember watching one of my favorite content creators play through the original. They never used anything but the plasma cutter and pulse rifle the entire game because they were saving credits for all the power nodes they can get for upgrades. They absolutely loved the game and it's details but I was sad the game design pushed them away from exploring all the awesome weapons the game had to offer.
I know exactly who you’re talking about and…ah well, not every game can *push* players to do a specific thing, sometimes players have to take initiative to find out why something is good. The youtuber you’re talking about didn’t even *try* to use them, which begs the question, why can they be sold in the first place?
The original was mature, these decisions being final, like decisions in real life are. While the remake is childish, where you can reset your decisions, as if they were never made. This infantilism, which includes being easily offended, is a huge problem in today's society, and the remake is a prime example of it, with its gender neutral toilettes, retconned Kendra character, and diverse ads. 👎
Playing this game was like someone reaching into my past to take a piece of my childhood and give it back to me today, yet somehow even better than I remembered it.
It really shows that the devs not only were fans of the originals but also updated the game correctly with features that could not have been done in the generation of the orginal release, and i really like that one of those key aspects is exploration and i hope they bring that to on dead space 2 remake
That means you're currently 44. You are now almost the same age Isaac is in the first game. Yeah, I can imagine that making you feel old lol. Thanks for making me feel young, though. I was 17 back then. While I am older than these other kids here commenting...lol, you are still much older than I am and that makes me feel a little better.
I’ve never played this series until the remake. What an amazing game. I’m finishing up my new game plus run so I can play Dead Space 2 for the first time.
The changes in Isaac's speech based on his health was a nice addition. For that matter the difference in dialog between NG and NG+ were great too! Can't decide which of his final boss lines was better. Amazing deliveries Gunner!
a small cool thing i like was that when you are repeatedly stomping issac gets more aggressive in his tone and will start saying stuff like "fuck you" while stomping.
After almost wasting $70 on Callisto Protocol, I’m glad to see that DSR is getting some good reviews. Here’s to the year of survival horror, next stop RE4R.
@@jq3436 just the fact that they let people review one day before and were transparent since mid development was already a good sign With Callisto Protocol the writting on the wall was all over the place But the dumbass here pre ordered it
you made the right decision to not buy Callisto. I wanted to experience it for myself as a fan of the genre, and it was just as mediocre as everyone said it was. Can't wait to fire up this remake and get that bad Callisto taste out of my mouth lol
Ive gotta say Sphere Hunter, your review is far more informative and interesting than others that have been put out by major game critic companies. I've already got this pre-ordered, but you've made me even more excited to play this game.
This is honestly so nice to see! Dead Space always felt like a franchise that was snubbed by it's publisher, by certain parts of the press, but these games were amazing and Visceral worked their butts off to make them, it's só good to see that the remake is not only as good as the original, but also better, I need to pick up this game ASAP.
It's great to see such a competent remake of a team that so clearly understands the original and knew how to improve upon it. Seems like there's a clear path to remaking DS2, reimagining DS3 and following up with an original DS4 by this team
I hope they don't remake all the games and just make a new one, because that would be time wasting. Why would you want to see the same sh1t when you can get new experience
That’s literally how I’ve always wanted the contact beam to be!! The only time it’s ever like that is the Dead Space Downfall movie, which I will definitely be watching right before diving into this remake! Awesome video as always ! Edit: I’m gonna wait on my play through of the game, but if I love it as much as I hope I do. I’m completely open to them remaking DS2 and opening up the sprawl. Though I think DS2 is completely timeless, it would just be cool to see how they further improve on what they did here.
It’s a small thing; but I was hoping for, and am glad that they brought back the little hum that plays when you complete an objective! I can’t wait to see the dividers, twitchers, and hunter!!!
Your voice, personality and witty comments I love so much. I just found ya and have been watching your vids. Keep up the good work because it’s phenomenal
Just looking at these clips I can see all the added details that enhance what was so good from the original. Good job on Motive for giving so much love and respect to an iconic game.
VISCERAL gameplay experience haha Man, when I was watching your Dead Space videos, they reminded me, why I love this series so dearly. And I'm almost in disbelief how good this game turned out (still have 2 chapters to go). Staying true to the original while sprinkling their own creativity into the remake - Motive did something special here.
This is seriously great. Watched it once by myself, then again with some friends - we were all so hyped. Love that after all this time we're getting another great installment of one of my favorite franchises. And between Calysto being what it was and money being tight, I may have never given it a shot if it weren't for this passionate and comprehensive review. Am looking forward to the hopefully nearby future when I get to play through it as well. TYSM!
Back when Dead Space came out I was too scared to try the series out. But now that I have much more survival horror experience I'm feeling brave enough to try and dive in with this entry
@@worstcasescenario3689 And you boomers have been trying to make games look bad since PONG. So what’s the difference? Forget to take your pills, old man?
I wasn't entirely sure exactly what they could change to make it a better experience - the first one is still eminently great. But thanks for detailing all the improvements/changes in such detail, it makes it so that I know my purchase won't just be a graphical overhaul.
High praise and exactly the kind of thing that I want to hear in a review for a game that I am very eager to play. Its fantastic that it manages to surpass its original by taking the opportunity to improve on the game and even add more to it so that you can replay it over and over with a different experience each time. When you make a game with love it shows and clearly these people wanted it to be a proper remake. Would be amazing to see Dead Space 2 get the same treatment. I'm so happy that Motive hit the ball out of the park.
Thank you so much for speaking in detail about all sorts of changes and improvements that no other reviewer seems to have mentioned. You are so thorough, and your perspective is one of care and passion. Magnetic.
Hello Brother, I saw how mentioned Lady Sphere's attention to details that make the game whole. I've just now made a comment abt a very intriguing comparison that Lady Shpere shud think about. May I pls request U to read my comment, and give it a 'like' if U agree with what I said? I'd love if it gets Lady Sphere's attention. Thank U
Resident Evil 4 3rd person shooter mechanic inspired the making of Dead Space. Now both games have a remake this year and both the originals and remakes a great games...
The 'security clearance' change does sound pretty smart vs the old node system, and from your footage looks like some of the lighting concerns from their prior trailer releases got punched up and made more theatrical...as it should be! I'd like to see a side by side scene comparison video with the full version sometime, but this is some high praise given the source.
Love how she makes us feel like we all used to when we played the original games. Like a friend talking to us about the things we love. Keep making this awesome content, girl!
Hi there, I'm a huge fan of sci-fi and horror, and the intersection of the two is naturally enough one of my favorite sweet spots. Glad to hear this game turned out really well, and I'm interested in your future content since you seem to be focusing on stuff I love!
awe, i was looking for your Re4 remake video cause I enjoyed it so much I was gonna put it on loop while I worked :( I hope nothing happened to make you remove it and everything is okay
Glad to see the game turned out to be great, and you're enjoying it Sphere. Can't wait for the game to come out tomorrow. Dead Space is finally back. Now, it's time to make humanity whole again.
Man I dunno what it is but you have the most soothing sounding voice I’ve ever heard. It’s as if a thousand angelic babies are tickling my ears with their tiny, soft feet. The only video on this game I’m watching and then playing it for myself.
Yo, that's awesome. Not only cause we got a great game, and a Suzi vid on it, but also cause her vids where she talks enthusiastically about the given thing are even better watch. That enthusiasm is contagious, like marker influence
I'm so happy to see such positive reviews for this game. I was a bit nervous after The Callisto Protocol, but it looks like this game was in great hands. Awesome video as always, Suzi!
Why do people hate on the Callisto protocol anyway? It was a good little game with a well done story and they didnt force the male and female main characters to be romantic with eachother in any way. Had a a good bittersweet note at the end with how the main character felt about being an unwitting pawn, but still involved, in having caused bad things to happen. A solid B tier game. Nothing wrong with not being the next Hades.
@@bunnieskitties293 because it was touted as a successor to dead space and can't even lace up its boots. It was an okay game trying to emulate a great one and it falls flat in a lot of ways that make it a big disappointment.
Your reviews really are a cut above the rest, so well researched and thoughtful commentary throughout - a pleasure to watch. I am also glad to see you approve of this one. Dead Space was one of my favorites, can't wait to strap in for a run through - although I am on PC - so I might wait to see what the PC performance looks like first...
I was so happy with how this game turned out! The original was one of the first games I ever bought and seeing it get a new lease on life is truly spectacular. Side note on the hanging woman: if you "cut" her down and leave and come back, she'll be right back in her hanging position with the damage you caused cutting her down still there. Don't know if it's a bug or not, but it's creepy as hell.
Dead Space 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games ever. Hearing this remake has the Suzi Seal of Approval means it's a Must Buy for me. I even loved the RE2 remake a bunch, but passed on RE3R because of everything I heard about cuts and weirdness with it. The fact that this keeps everything from the original but adds more to adjust the structure into being a continuous map of the ship with the tram as fast travel sounds excellent. I can't wait to pick this up. Thanks for the amazing video Suzi! Always love your work.
Personally, I didn’t play RE2 remake until after I played the RE3 one and it’s crazy so many people probably didn’t play it because of cut content and weirdness because both games are good even though some stuff is missing
Same here. I actually only picked up Resident Evil starting at 7, and I loved it. So I played 2 Remake and it’s one of my favorite games of all time now. Then I saw all of the reviews and it looked like capcom got lazy. Still haven’t played 3 Remake but I have it in my library.
3make get a lot of unjustified flack. The only thing is the cut of a few areas, but its a good game. It being called short is dumb because original re3 can be beat in like an hour. Also the harder difficulty options add a bunch of cool stuff like different enemies and routes. I love the original but 3make isn't something to ignore.
What a relief. Thank you so much for this. I'm hoping this is a good sign of things to come. I wouldn't mind some tweaked HD remasters of 2 and 3 with all their many DLCs. Possibly even an expanded DS 2 with its many side games. It's impossible to get most of them now and they had some really good parts to them.
Thank you SH I loved your thought process on this project. I too am a huge horror survival game enthusiast and dead space has always been at the top of my list. I can not wait till this weekend to put on my headphones sit on my couch in the dark and just geek out on one of my favorite franchises. BTW you have very soothing voice such a delight thanks again and keep up the good work.
Awesome video, thanks for describing why DSR is now MY definitive experience as well. One aspect that you forgot to mention that wasn’t in the original is the new “Alive system,” which defines Issac’s heartbeat, breathing, and other emotional responses during moments of fighting and running from the horrors aboard the Ishimura, which also mirrored my emotions at those critical interactions. EA Motive really hit a Grand Slam with DSR!
After the Callisto Protocol was... the Callisto Protocol, I'm so relieved that the DS remake is phenomenal, especially with how much of a pain it is getting the original to run properly on PC nowadays
Im not even that much of an Dead Space Fan but holy moly Callisto might be the worst AAA Game of 2022. Like, how can you expect selling wishful 5 million copies for an walk left and right Simulator. Where is the thrilling Horror?
@@applehazeva2739 Yeah no, worst AAA game of 2022 is Saints Row 2022 Callisto is mediocre to okay, Saints Row 2022 was literal dog water that spit on the face of fans
Makes me so happy that DSR came out well, been very skeptical about a remake because of how DS3 came out and how EA is nowadays but hearing your thoughts about how this came out and hearing so much positive definitely picking this up when I get the chance hope Motive is able to spruce up DS2 in the future and who knows maybe try their hand at another mainline game to continue the story.
EA has been absolutely horrible for as long as I’ve been a gamer. They don’t deserve anyone’s money at this point. This game looks fantastic and I’m excited to play it when I can find a used copy, but I’m honestly frustrated that so many people will buy it at launch and essentially reward EA for killing Visceral and many other studios. Like, they are one of the worst publishers around, predatory and exploitative in their business practices and abusive towards their employees. There’s a reason they win “most hated company in America” so often.
Oh my god, in 3 minutes you’d essentially told me anything I could possibly want to know! And then there’s 23 more minutes of fantastic content. You spoil us.
Wouldn't turning the contact beam into a constant laser beam mean that it's not a railgun anymore? Isn't a railgun a projectile accelerated by magnets along the rail?
I was just watching your re4 video but it disappeared while I was halfway through :') did it get taken down? I love your content so I was very disappointed to see it disappear
I had a bunch of vids I wanted to watch today and saved that one for last, to end on the highest note. It felt like a punch in the gut when I found it to be gone ._.
I didn't realise it would be so nice to hear someone to say "Dead Space is back" till I heard Suzie! This video has really sold me, I forgot how hyped I was for this, but waiting for the review PC port review is probably the wisest thing. Here is hoping its good!
It makes me so happy to go back to this game after such a long time. It felt so nostalgic seeing the Ishimura again and yet refreshing with all the new content and gameplay. Also, who else jumped right into hard mode the first time around?
Picked Up Remake a couple days after it released and swapped out the waypoint toggle for the map like you suggested and it was night and day how much better it felt. I had to make sure I was paying attention to my surroundings now that something wasn't holding my hand, and it let me really appreciate the details of the newly designed Ishimura, so I'll definitely be doing this when we get a DS2 Remake. Absolutely loved the video and can't wait for the next one!
Great review. Glad to hear the game is good. Does the map do something similar like in the RE remakes where it keeps track of locked doors and items you haven't picked up yet? That was a really nice QOL feature that helped me enjoy those games more as it kept track of those things for me.
@@halocrafter300 Yeah. I got a hold of it and am playing it right now. I have been taking notes of chests and doors I can't unlock yet. Fortunately, it isn't hard to note down as the map is pretty detailed on which room and floor you are currently in. I do appreciate that the map at least marks down stuff like where the benches or save points are. Nice to have on hand.
