Sadly, compared to true original Isaac. That's hurt.

It was definitively an unnecessary change neither an improvement.

*sadness*

Downgrade in every way.

Not buying this game and certainly will not give EA a single cent.

Except the graphics, all the changes are for the worst. Also why the fuck would you replace Peter Menseh? He was fantastic as Hammond.

 

[Zimmy68]

Nope. Big Dead Space fan but never at $70.

 

[MikeM]

well maybe you don't know this, but EA Play is part of Gamepass, and EA titles eventually come to EA Play...

so this is literally their own subscription service we are talking about here

Still think its the overall mentality for Xbox owners tho who have GP that can hurt devs/publishers in planning exclusive deals.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

After that Star Wars game came out, I'm starting to think EA has a thing for gingers.

That fucked up face is getting modded right off of my rig, the moment it is possible.

Ok, What have I missed?

I’m assuming he meant things like this?

The pic on the left is the old Nicole Brennan. I’m assuming the one on the right is the new Nicole Brennan apparently.

 

[RickSanchez]

Pre-order ? Definitely not. Buying on or just after launch day, depends on what my trusted reviewers say. So many titles in 2023 that i am resisting the temptation to pre-buy:

• Dead Space remake
• Hogwarts Legacy
• Atomic Heart
• Last of Us Part 1 on PC
• Returnal on PC
• Spider-Man 2
• System Shock remake
• Starfield

I'll wait for reviews for all of them.

The original trilogy was a damn near masterpiece (yes 3 was weird and had that broken weapon system but I still enjoyed it for what it was).

This... Looks like a bomba.

If some of the character/story changes people have hinted at are true... Well I wouldn't be shocked. Isaac's new character model is God awful (apologies to the person he's modeled after). Definitely not giving EA my cash but I will give the YouTubers who dissect the game some clicks.

There should be no change to the story other than some force inserted tertiary woke stuff.

That’s Issac? I didn’t know they changed Issac’s face model that drastically. I thought it was just a random guy at first when I first saw that model.

[Just_one]

I was going to buy it Day 1 but our house morgage just got a huge monthly bump (around 220€ per month) so this year im gonna stop buying so many games.

PS Plus extra has been great so i will keep to that with only 2 or 3 exceptions during the year

 

[TastyPastry]

nope but i hope enough people do so that we can get dead spac 2 remake/dead space 4 even though i worry what they might do to ellie in a DS2 remake

 

[AtomicStarving]

Nah I don't buy remakes or remasters day one. It's kinda stupid imo.

 

[Rush2112]

Not buying until I read some full, legit steam reviews. I dont trust people who get game copies in advance. There is a reason that they do.

 

[A2una1]

Nope, after Battlefield 2042 I will never buy a EA Game day one again. Although BF is pretty decent right now. And pretty cheap...

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Launch trailer leaked early.

Looks pretty good IMO.

 

[rofif]

That's actually reverse, they were asian/white.

Here the thread FYI. Not trying to convince anyone, it's just information, I'm not the creator, any opinion is absolutely fine. Do all what you want.

Personally I'm biased because I'm still mad about EA for closing Visceral Games. And seeing this is too much for me, that's an insult to the original content and original devs.

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/dead-space-remake-first-18-minutes.1647071/post-267082633

yep and they turned some in-gameplay immersive "happenings" into just cutscenes... because it's more immersive. what

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Never played the first. Love horror. It’s a must for me.

 

[taizuke]

Wasn't even aware it comes out so soon. Maybe I'll get it sometime after.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Hell no. I can wait for it to hit Game Pass Ultimate, via EA Access (or whatever it’s called)

Awesome! Can't wait to dive in.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Absolutely. Love the franchise and having Gunner Wright back is a huge plus for me.

 

[Ovek]

Why the fuck would I buy a game again that I played and completed years ago.

 

[rapid32.5]

Changing characters' faces and going woke is a big no. Imagine if Capcom completely changed Leon's face in RE4 Remake, there would be a mob of fans with pitchforks standing outside the office.

 

[R6Rider]

Capcom has changed many of their characterss faces throughout the RE series multiple times.

That word has lost all meaning to me.

True.

I mean, they already changed his face all the way back in Dead Space 2 and no one complained.
And his new face in DS2 was made to resemble his voice actor/performer. And they're literally bringing him back and making the character look like him again (while also making him look younger).

Also true.

 

[Old_and_Slow]

Was going to buy blind at launch but changed my mind. Need one of my trusted reviewers to give me the lowdown on details that have been changed. Remakes like this should not be full price anyway so I have the bonus of waiting for a sale.

 

[Facism]

Going to wait to see if it stutters on pc

Mashallah

 

[LiquidJensen]

Visuals aren’t everything but this looks like a last gen game..

 

[skneogaf]

I'm hoping modder put back the original actors in to this travesty of a remake as non of the impostors in this game are welcome or wanted.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Kinda sorta related but has Motive detailed performance for consoles yet? I find it odd there's no like firm answers on whether there will be a 30 fps or a 60 fps mode or ray tracing.

Looks pretty good IMO.

Some of the animations in cutscenes look bad and that's something you can't expect from a project of this caliber. Not a fan of changes when it comes to Isaac and other characters which were in original game.

I'll trade in some PS5 games I don't need (cuz I own them now on PC) and get PS5 copy for like 1-2$.

If only Frostbite games were easy to mod.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nope, I don't like the changes they've made to the characters and I don't feel the need to play this asap like when ME Trilogy was coming out.

 

[CashPrizes]

I wasn't going to, but I have a new PC on the way with a 4090. As long as it doesn't launch as a hot mess, should be one of the best looking games ever made, so will be good to demo the system with.

 

[MikeM]

Updated specs posted today for console and PC.

 

[8bitpill]

I'm a big fan of Dead Space. I still remember the hype before it was released in 2008 and looking forward to it.

With the original, the creator Glen Schofield of the game you could tell it was a passion project for him. I watched short documentary on it and it was genuine and you could tell he made his best effort.

With remakes today you don't know what you're getting. Are they going to change the story and character to fit current standards that these industries think people want. Are they going to switch the story because it isn't politically correct for the current social climate. As for the new studio handling the remake, they didn't have much under their belt. I was just hoping their personal views weren't going to muddle up the Dead Space Remake like a lot of other remakes.

I was on board for this regardless. Dead Space deserved more attention than it got. Dead Space was like playing Resident Evil for the first time in 1996.

I don't care for reviewers since everything seems money motivated with a majority game reviews.

 

[dan76]

Not too interested really. I liked the original, it was a very focused intense game, but it could have done with some different environments - which would have probably made it less intense... It always felt like the middle part of a brilliant game. I also like the fact Isaac was silent, and we never saw his face. Each game was a step down, but all 3 were enjoyable.

This looks like a straight forward remake but with crap thrown in. The 360 version still looks, sounds and plays great. So no.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Dead Space is right up there with my favourite games ever made, it’s a design masterpiece IMO.

But I won’t be buying it day 1, far too much else to play so I’m in no rush! I’ll be happy to buy it on sale down the line though.

 

[GymWolf]

Also true.

Left look like an egg with beard and puffy cheeks and the right look like a sexual predator that didn't sleept for a month.

Not sure why people are getting their shit riled up by the new model that looks absolutely fine in the launch trailer instead of cherry picked low quality screens...

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Nope. Didn't like the original game either.

 

[Knightime_X]

Already paid in full on steam.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

I was a yes until I saw how much woke garbage they had to inject into this game, now I'm never going to buy it.

 

[Needlecrash]

I'll get it. But, I think I'll wait on it. Need for Speed Unbound came out swinging with a $70 price tag on release day. A month later, it's between $35-$40 bucks.
