Dead Space (original) at 4k60 with Reshade looks more than good enough.

[Dead Space Remake] EA Motive has updated Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle sounds following players feedback
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Very nice. Seems to carry over all the sound improvements they made but is also closer to the original
Fans would have complained about the sounds either way. The only difference is if they do it now, the devs can still react. Later when the game is shipped and the team already moving on to new stuff it would probably be more complicated. I see this as a win for being transparent. EA was similarly open with fans when it came to C&C remasters

agreed - the DS1 sound effects have a sort of electronic-sounding chirp to them that makes them sound like an actual energy weapon
Heavily disagree. Constructive criticism from an outsiders point of view is important. It's why I enjoy it when they let us in on what they are working on early.
I didn't even notice that. Yeah, I hope that changes to the original design some time during development. The holographic ammo counters from the original were so cool. I remember being amazed by it the first time I saw it in previews.
Great post.
I just want to add to this, that if you don't think a Dead Space remake is worth your time or money: don't buy it. They're not going to yoink your old copy of Dead Space from your disc or digital library.
not really. Given it's on an engine no one uses, remastering would prob take as much work as remaking it. That and a remaster won't sell as well as a full-on remake with new systems and content put in (yes, this remake will have new content given the changes to VO and them even adding cut areas). A full remake also allows them to gauge interest in making new games in the series.
Of course, clinically its them reacting to the popularity of the RE 2 remake. Thats fine though as I still think DeadSpace is a better series.
As expected, a PS5 gen game looks better than a PS3 gen game. I think development time could be better spent with a sequel or soft reboot than what looks like a remake of the first game.
Who says this isnt meant as a soft reboot for the IP? I think thats the end goal, getting the IP back on track with a new team after DS3 - and what better way to "get it" than remaking the first one.
The remake is far from pointless, Dead Space deserves to be put back into the spotlight.Good thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.
But honestly, this remake is pointless.

And can people stop applying these blurred out the ass, oversaturated, piss filters over their games and saying that it looks better?
Battlefield 3 got dragged for doing this shit and for good reason.
How is it pointless? This is the only way I can play the first game on a PS4/PS5.Good thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.

Not a "pointless" remake at all. As someone who is a huge fan of the game and having just played through the trilogy again last year, I am really looking forward to this. Yes, the original still looks good, but this is looking even better and I'll be there day one again just as I was in 2008. Plus, hopefully when it sells well they'll either continue on giving it the 'Resident Evil' treatment and either remake 2 or do a new entry.
Is this a 1 to 1 remake? If so it is even more pointless. Re2 Remake is re-imagining of Re2, it changed quite a bit of the original game. So both games can still co exist. If they are changing a good chunk in this remake I'm all for it.
Yup... EVERYONE has played dead space, and if they haven't, they should just get a PC.Good thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.

It's not 1 to 1. They are implementing DS2-style zero-g and Isaac will have voiced lines. And that's just the stuff we know of right now.
Nah fam this ain't it. Y'all keep using these post-process injectors but the games still look crusty as hell lmaoGood thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.

Pointless for all those console players right.

The game's textures need an overhaul at the very least. They're horrendously low-res.
The footage they've shown so far doesn't appear to be brand new. It appears to be the same content in DS1.
Most people don't want to futz around with Dead Space's incredibly shoddy PC port, and a remake can add fun new additions and QoL improvements. This is a weird post.
Also, the animations were clearly a work-in-progress. The game has a ways to go.
I meant the DS Remake dev footage where the arm would flail when shooting the gun.
Yea it does that because the game isn't actually finished. Games don't look super polished during development and these guys are being way more transparent about that. To the point that "we listened to fan feedback" kinda seems weird to state when they originally stated that the audio wasn't finished in the first place.
The target audience for this remake is the people on PC but those on consoles. I'd take a full-on remake that takes advantage of the new SSD and the Dualsense's features over playing the original release (which I platinumed on PS3 just so you know). And no, I don't play games on PC.Good thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.

That felt weird to me too. They have focus testing and playtesting for these kind of feedbacks. I love they are being transparent about the remake's development, but they shouldn't give voice to people complaining on social media.
Yes they fucking do.
Or it's willfull. They see what they see and they start feeling some way and just really want to say it outloud and then they see the obvious disclaimers and thats a fucking bummer when you just wanna voice your opinion on how bad it looks. So you maybe open up a bottle of wine, kinda try to get back into that mental space in time before you saw the disclaimer, see if you can get something rolling and then go type it out on the internet.
no. Basic research would tell you that. They are including cut areas, adding mechanics introduced in deadspace 2 (aka its version of zero g, thus having to redesign all those areas and how they function), and adding new story and insights given isaac is voiced by his VA from the past games
Wdym, clearly animations/sound effects/particles/lighting, etc. in a game this far away from release should look like they would in the final product.
It'd be like if NT said that listening to fan feedback is the reason why things were done during Senua's development.
After watching The Thing (2011) prequel to the John Carpenter's original The Thing (1982), I'm so ready for this remake.
Exactly.
Good thing they fixed the animations. They looked awful in the remake.

Meanwhile everyone with consoles cant do that so there is a point to remaking the game for current hardware
Wow sad that EA gave in to the terrorist's demands. If you critique something on the internet that's similar to murder. When you critique an unreleased, non final thing, that's actually double murder, maybe even triple murder.
I don't understand why they don't just work from the original audio, it already sounds amazing and I can't imagine it would be an issue. I'm sure there are logistical reasons but it feels like they're making it harder on themselves.
