I just beat the original a few weeks ago and it still stands up so no, gonna give this a miss probably.
Gaming Dead Space Remake - PC/PS5/Series X
- Thread starter BusbyMalone
- Start date
I’ll end up getting it and but whilst it obviously looks like an improvement on an already great game, what they’ve shown is too safe for my liking with it bordering on a remaster, rather than a re-imagining.
I’m hoping there’s a lot of unseen surprises.

It looks polished but I have no reason to play it. The original was good and this looks just like that does (in my head).
Tempted to make this a day 1 purchase.
Don't forget to pre-order the digital deluxe edition for 2x suit textures.
You wouldn't want them to run out on release day.
I don't know about this.
On the one hand it feels like an overpriced and unnecessary remake of an admittedly great game but on the other hand the chance to use that limb cutter weapon again is almost enough to draw me back in. Got to be up there with Kratos's axe as the best weapon in gaming?

Just wait for a sale.
I adored the first game when it came out. I remember thinking that this along with Mirror's Edge was showing a new, better side of EA, I was that delusional. But there's no way I'm paying £70 or whatever the feck a new game costs nowadays. Christmas sale in December, half price on Steam. That's the way to do it.
me too, but itll be on gamepass within a year so might try and wait it out
Agreed. I'll bite maybe when it drops to the under £30 mark.
That's the level I'm looking at - when under £30 I'll get it.
I'm waiting for the reviews after being severely burnt by Calliso Protocol.
I take it the tone of the game is more RE4 (lot of ammo, lots of fun) rather than RE1? Is it scary/tense?

It's going to be shite.
Lambs has spoken.
Ever the pessimist!
I’ve never played the original so I might end up getting it although it’s going to be a while, as my PS4 Pro over the last year has decided to sound like a runway at Heathrow.
Got overheating warning alert while playing Turf Masters(A 2d game from the 90’s).
Neo Turf Masters? That's a cracking game, I have it on Switch

Yep! That’s a banger of a tune. Can tell it’s designed for the arcade as anything less than a birdie the game punishes the player.
Also all the characters are just the same bloke but with different t shirts(Personally I always pick the Japanese guy because of his putting)
Why do you think it will be shite? We've had Callisto Protocol and Forspoken (seemingly awful/average going by the reviews) as big title flops, it can't be 3 out of 3 surely?

2 was dumb, 3 was dumber. I just have very low expectations going into this.
And let's face it, even if it's a decent version, the original game was already great so how exactly can it better it?
Never played those as they were released during my "gaming-hiatus" so picture me pretty interested.
I've heard 3 was dreadful and effectively killed the franchise. I've never really experienced dead space and I have nothing to compare it with so it's kind of an introduction to the series for me.
Well then I really hope it's at least as good as the original for you mate. Best thing is, even if not, that one holds up very well to this day.
Why would you think that?! Looks great.
Edit: I see now
Well, I have not played the first game since it came out. So, even if it's just that game with great graphics then that will be good enough for me.
They have made changes to weapons, and slight changes to the level design, among other things. There's a chance this could become the definitive edition...
Dear lord. What a sad little life.It's better to be pessimistic and then get wowed
I hear ya!It's better to be pessimistic and then get wowed
Could be worse, I could also be ginger.
Huge fan of the original two games, but might hold out until this goes on sale. Got plenty of backlog to play on PC.
Still gutted this was never made into the rumoured live action movie by someone like James Carpenter. It has the potential to be our generation's Alien if done right.

Just not able to get excited for this one. One of those where the original seems pretty modern to me even though that sounds odd. Maybe if I thought it was one of the greatest games I’d ever played I’d be more up for this remake but nah.
Hope the reviews are up soon. I'm very cautious about day one purchases after Callisto Protocol
they are due tomorrow afternoon
I dont see any reason why it wont be very good. Itll be same game except looks better and some quality life improvements . Similar to Last of Us remake
Reviews are now coming through.
Currently 89 on metacritic from 20 reviews.
That's a relief, thanks for posting. Ok, might give this a go tomorrow
