I was WRONG About Dead Space Remake... | Review 

😂😂

Isn't pretty sad that the remake of a 15 year old game is considered "big guns"?

@@Velocifero Because you already have fanbase for it?

Don't give credit to EA. Not just because they suck, but because it's the dev team who did all the work.

@Knowledge and Defense EA gets the credit when the devs fail though.

Nice! Dead Space 1 is my favorite horror game of all time.

This will not end well for you.

I replayed it so many damn times, I knew where literally everything was. Only game series that drew me in to try and uncover everything for.

The pre order says you get access to 2 also when it comes out. If there’s any reason to pre order a game, that’s it.

Yea definitely DS2 was best in series. Would gladly play remake.

Even I got excited about that and I'm pretty much done with AAA , shame

I think the game was fine. The amount of hate it got you’d think the game was complete crap but i don’t see that. It’s not as good as dead space but it’s not bad

Because it wasn't supposed to be a DS clone ? Glen said it himself , they wanted to do something different and not really compete . I fallowed almost all interviews and gameplay clips and i knew what to expect mostly .

@@statesminds True its pretty ridiculous imo . Sure it had some actual flaws , for example especially with the performance , not having new game plus on day one , i don't know way they thought that was a good idea there . But over all solid imo for an potential start of a new universe , i am glad they did something different with certain things , it won't be for everyone.

@@Kobalt_Rax_the_one I definitely think the game isn't that bad NOW. At launch though, it was horrendous on my PC and that's fixable post launch but... you can't really fix its monotonous combat and lackluster story. On top of that, the horror vibe loses its credibility the first hour when all it does are jumpscares over suspense (atleast it did for me, I fell asleep while playing it, a horror game!). Even if you expect it to be its own thing, it still fails in more aspects than it succeeds. Its below average in its delivery of a survival horror game in spite of the graphical prowess and audio design of the engine. Moving forward, they should handle the well-deserved criticism they got for the sequel A perfect example of a horror game recently released in 2022 though is Signalis, can't praise that game enough!

Not EA. MOTIVE is the tea that made this. EA just needs to back the fuck off and let them do there thing.

It's Motive Studio, EA didn't do shit

@@MEYH3M it's still EA, lol

Need for speed Unbound was pretty good as well.

Now they just need to figure out how to remove that terrible app of theirs so their games can launch directly from Steam

Maybe they're saving the scruff for the DS2 remake, heh

I believe the scruff will come with Dead Space 2.

That’s what I came here to say. They made him look more like younger Gunner Wright this time. Last time, they just suggested his looks, but they gave him the icy grey eyes and greyer hair. Ironically, the original Isaac in Dead Space 2 looks more like the way Gunner looks today, and Isaac in DS2023 looks more like Gunner did 10 years ago.

So my thoughts on that was he wanted to look clean for Nicole so he shaved himself up and looked for his women

Yeah I mean Gunner did mocap for DS2 and 3 so I'm cool with his face on Isaac's but they changed his hair color and made him too clean.

Ohh, really? I remember looking around an empty room once and hearing the heartbeat, and was like, “What are you getting nervous for? There’s nothing here.”

You can always turn your brightness down. The first OG 2 games had a lot of darkness,but turning your brightness fixed this, but removes the scareyness a bit.

I mean... the original Dead Space is exceptionally bright lmao. Dead Space 2 is the one that actually had proper darkness

The original looks way brighter than the remake imo the original still looks great but I will admit some parts of the game didn’t look dark enough but in the remake literally it’s pitch black dark which imo makes the game way more intense than it did in the original

Yes, though--as a "purist" who knows that technically DS2 is a better game, I have always found it too bright and colorful to satisify something about my general Dead Space aesthetic--I love the dim and murky of the orginal that some critics (otherwise reasonably) single out for its "grayness" of pallet. For me, other than the black and red of the pools and trails of blood, the green of Issac's life-light and inventory--I love the brown and blue shadows all through it all.

They changed a lot of unnecessary thing, which shouldn't effect the original intended plot or anything. The poster, graffiti, bathroom, NPCs, unnecessary dialogue about being lesbian, etc..

No its actually based off of Philip DeFranco

As someone who didn’t play the original, He seems to fit the character well

It’s based on Adam Sandler

Pretty much all the characters are based on their voice actors. It's common practice these days with performance capture. It's also the reason so many characters in the last of us remake/last of us 2 look different than their original versions.

All of you are clearly blind how can you not see he's based off Drake?

Pretty sure he also voiced Isaac in the original DS1, even if it was just grunting and screams.

@Sam Lund He probably did LOL and now the remake also 😉👊🏾

Yep and it still doesn't suit the character

@@Grandmastergav86 Well the good thing is the original game is still playable so at least people can still have him as a silent protagonist if that's what they prefer over him talking

Play the game. Seriously, it was one of the best horror games ever made.

You are going to fn love this game.

should definitely give it a shot. even the og ones hold up super well, at least on pc. i’m jealous you have an unplayed trilogy in front of you. I borrowed it from someone in my platoon back in 08’ not knowing what it was and dayum it took me for a wild ride. Event Horizon+The Thing+Res 4 combat with circular saws.

Have you ever had to take on a necromorph on the job?

You can play all of the original games on Game Pass. N they really do st ill hold up I played for the first time about a year n a half ago... loved it, played all 3 n beat them all

Was ds1 good and fun to play back then? Cuz it still kicks butt now. Just old gfx. But damn is it scarry still

I have no idea what you're referring to, lol

@@ianharris3502 I'm referring to most of the time when Matty does a review, he doesn't actually beat the game. He admits it in multiple of his reviews. It's not exactly a secret.

@@isturbo1984 there's some games that are so bad that u don't even really need to beat it to see that it's bad tbh

​@@lotsapasta0858 That would be pretty wild cutting off a game that was trash only to find out it does a complete 180 at the exact spot you cut it off at.

EA's real motive:money money money money money money money

@@Fenris2 Shiiiit, they got mine! I love this game!

@@Fenris2 That kinda is part of the point of making a game to be fair so long as they keep their damn hands out of the pie before it's done baking

I liked it

@@erikweltz8187 Same hopefully if this remake sells well the rest of the series might follow but I would be wary of EA still

Absolutely. Three is awesome. Easily the most over hated and under rated of the trilogy.

Same, but i ordered it like 10 days ago and the idiots have not even sent it yet 🤬 last time i order from that site that's for sure

@@lacesensor3358 Sorry to hear, bro. That is why i still pick them up in person

@@lacesensor3358 It doesnt release until the 27th

@@Seanthefox Yes but it is released on a Saturday, always when i've ordered games that releases on the weekends i have gotten in on the friday and very rarely on the monday after the weekend but they have not even sent it yet, and now it is friday. I will have it on tuesday at the earliest.

@@leebentz6358 Yeah i should have done that as well. That way you make sure you you always gets it on release. I don't even understand why i order games anymore, it's as far to go to the nearest postal agent as it is to the store to buy the game anyway 😁

I’m gonna say something controversial, but something I liked about 3 was how the Micro-transactions were handled. The inclusion of the Ration packs which could easily be acquired by scavenger bots made it unnecessary to spend actual money on any of the MTX’s and made it easy to rack up tons of resources and MK V parts in the game

I like the concept of the Brethern Moons. I like that there's an explanation behind Necromorphs and the Markers that doesn't actually ruin the horror of it but in fact takes Dead Space's mythos into a true cosmic horror direction. There's an Issac Aasimov quote they use at the start of XCOM: Enemy Unknown that says "Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Either possibility is equally frightening." The Brethern Moons create a reality where both realities of that quote are true at the same time. It resolves the Fermi Paradox in the worst way imaginable. We are alone in the universe because there is a galactic apex predator that has evolved to prey on type 2 civilizations and creates a bait so perfect that no civilization has been able to escape them. And that includes ours. The final moments of the Dead Space 3 DLC reveal that humanity is doomed to extinction has several of these predatory moons descend on Earth, brought to our doomed planet thanks to the Necromorph outbreaks the Unitology cult started.

And let’s hope they REALLY REALLY remake 3

That would be so awesome!

What??? Dead space 3 was by far the worst.. they didn’t even bothered to make a new one after that. I was an mid action game but the horror wasn’t there anymore.

If they remake 2 and 3, I would be OK if they took the games in a different direction. Just abandon what was there and create a better storyline. Ditch the co-op (unless they can make it actually work well). I'm ok with dumping the old for something new.

Honestly all 2 needs is a lite remaster

You're in for a wild ride! The original Dead Space holds such a fond spot in my nostalgia. One of the first Horror games I got into and *deserves* to be played after dark with the lights off. :)

I never played the original either, and I will get the game first thing tomorrow. I think we both will really like it 😊

I envy you. Buy this immediately.

Both the original and remake are incredible but I think the remake will be better if you’re new since you’re getting the definitive version but if you decide to play the original it’s still very good too

$10 for me

Dude, no. People are not going to put that much time, effort, and money into a game for it to purposely flop.

I still think it's unnecessary...

It did miss the fine details, though.

No…NO!! 🤣

Why would you pick it up twice at launch? What a monumental waste if money

@@Willis2992 I meant I'll buy it on PC and maybe pick it up later on X/S or PS5.

@@Willis2992 not everyone is poor bro, we work for money

@@oldmatedave2382 I work full time and earn comfortably over my national average thanks. That's why I go to nice places and have nice things because I don't buy two copies of the same game on launch day like a moron. But if you want to poor shame people that's fine, it's a commentary on your poor character for all to see.

@@Willis2992 no different from you shaming how people spend their money, Two way street lil guy.

There’s plenty of reviews/reviewers who thank the devs or note that they got a copy from the publisher and still rip the game apart (look at almost any Forspoken review going around, f’rex.) That said, as someone who had to shell out his $70 like everyone else, I think the game is great. It modernizes and streamlines a lot of the “gamey” aspects so it doesn’t feel tortuous to play while maintaining the soul and essence of the original. It’s beautiful. It’s tense. It’s fun.

Impossible, really.

@@kaineandrews3790 true and yes I'm hearing nothing but good reviews on this game too. Seems to be doing well.

Facts.

Heard that pc has some issues. But, my own experience on series x is pretty good. Only a few frame drops once a while with some areas.

Playing on PS5, Chapter 10 at the moment, running in Performance mode. No frame dips or graphical errors. A couple of times if I killed a necromorph by slamming stuff into it when it was really close to a wall, the item drop would vanish (I suspect it spawned out of bounds) or the corpse would get stuck in the wall and then disappear. It crashed once right after starting the game (after having been playing Persona 4 for several hours, flitting over to a streamed PS+ game, then to Gems of War for a bit. Think the system as a whole was just saying “I’m tired, boss! Lemme sleep for a few!”) Pretty impressed, especially given the state of some games at launch. Feels like EA/Motive actually tested the damn thing before shipping.

I'm playing on PS5 and I haven't had any major issues. I had the frame rate drop pretty substantially when there was a lot of dead necromorphs in a small area like an elevator. Other than that it's been smooth sailing.

No issues on my windows 11 laptop

Third game too

This came out first so blame that shit game

Can’t say anything about unlocks, but I can tell you there is a new set of collectibles to find that only spawn in NG+, and finding them all leads to a new ending.

​@Carl Gunderson you are alone on this planet for thinking dead space 2 is worse. Like NO ONE agrees with you.

Yes. I was both happy and sad about it; happy, because keeping the little touches matters. Sad, because I think it would have been interesting if they’d had a new message for us.

Same here. I never played the original and the remake caught my interest, but I wanted to wait for the reviews first. I think I'll have to check it out now.

I think you'll love it. It's one of my favorite video game universes. There's a lot going on in terms of story.

Isaac and Nicole were tweaked to look like their voice actors. I don’t know what the deal with Kendra is, though I suspect its the same reason.

Yeah. They really dropped the ball on character models. I’m sticking with the originals.

In the original, Isaac age was 49 so it actually makes sense that they were made to look older
