[Jeff Grubb] New Dead Space is Dead Space 1 Remake similar to Resident Evil 2 remake

[dex3108]

For its Dead Space game, Motive is taking notes from Capcom's recent Resident Evil remakes. Like Resident Evil 2 Remake, expect the next Dead Space to use the original game as a strong foundation. But it should also have modern visuals. And it will likely bring in new gameplay mechanics inspired by other entries in the franchise.

And speaking of Capcom, it is likely a major reason a new Dead Space is happening. While EA has let its horror franchise wither, the Resident Evil series is larger than ever. And Capcom has provided an easy blueprint for EA to follow.

EA has likely also warmed back up to the idea of producing single-player adventures after the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The publisher has made statements in the recent past about shifting its focus to live-service games. And that was part of a deliberate decision to invest less in single-player experiences following poor results for Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Perfect

 

[Transistor]

If it's as good as the RE2 Remake, I'm ok with that

 

[data]

Looking forward to it

 

[Pasha]

 

[HiLife]

I was indifferent about the news prior to this headline. Now I'm excited.

 

[Ripcord]

Hype

 

[Aerial51]

I want a collection like Mass Effect tho... I hope that is still in the cards

 

[EJS]

Exactly what I want.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Lukar]

Sounds great to me. I wonder how far along it is.

 

[Okabe]

Capcom is BACK ! within Dead Space !

 

[Iacomus]

Remake? Oh no. I'm gonna have to see some footage before comparing it with Capcom style remakes.

 

[dreamfall]

Holy goodness!

 

[Weiss]

It's 13 years old on an HD console what the fuck does it need a remake for

 

[Fancy Clown]

Hope they significantly up the complexity of the level design (just as REmake 2 did for RE2). The linearity of the first Dead Space really hampered it as a survival horror game. Looking forward to this though.

 

[Slackerchan]

I'm one of those people that were hoping for a proper Dead Space 4. I'll still pick this up though.

 

[NotLiquid]

Remake? Ehhhh

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Yeah, this is gonna be a skip. PS3 games don't need remakes. This endless recycling of old content just to have stuff to sell is just getting so tiring.

 

[Izanagi89]

Hmmmm. Dead Space hasnt aged that badly. I'm down for more dead space but not sure I was expecting a remake

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Good thing, I was almost considering going back and finishing it up

No weapon crafting 😡😡😡

 

[Deleted member 17289]

Uff, day one.

 

[SofNascimento]

Sounds like a good choice.

 

[Skatterd]

Key note in this story
"While a new Dead Space is coming, Motive is rebooting the franchise with a full-fledged remake."

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I consider this the best case scenario. I would be extremely excited to play this.

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

I would have preferred a proper sequel or a complete reboot, but I guess it is better than no Dead Space.

This.

Plus there is a PC version, which makes it even more useless. Real shame it's not Dead Space 4.

 

[StarsAreStuff]

sweet

 

[Fisty]

Trilogy remaster first plz

 

[oriic]

Remake... :( (The first game still looks good.)

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Jeff's on a roll today! nice!

Was gonna say, Dead Space plays really well compared to RE2 remake right now on Xbox One.

I'll probably still pay for the shiny graphics and remixed encounters though, which is why they keep making these things.

 

[Deleted member 79058]

Makes sense for me since the first one was on Game Pass Challenges a couple weeks ago. Maybe they were checking interest on the title.
I wish it was a new game, though.

 

[AppleMIX]

Man, RE is really the lifeblood of Dead Space.

 

[haotshy]

Maybe I'll feel differently after seeing it, but I don't understand what this means or why it's necessary. Dead Space already had a "modern" gameplay style. I guess maybe they'll be changing some scenarios and encounters like RE2 did?

 

[psynergyadept]

OMG!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!!

 

[The Last One]

HYPE

 

[nStruct]

Man I hope this is true

 

[Salpal]

As someone who never played RE2 or RE2remake, what does this really mean? The jump from PS1 game mechanics to PS4 game mechanics is much larger than the jump from PS3 to PS5. Dead Space 1 didnt exactly play badly and I doubt it aged poorly.

 

[Altezein]

Day 1!

 

[cooldawn]

I hope this is true!

 

[Dalek]

Get me a remake of DS2 while you're at it. I want to see that free fall scene again.

 

[Vic20]

Why a remake instead of a remaster trilogy.

 

[zoodoo]

Why a remake? Deadspace 1 ia a perfect game. A new code of paint would have just been enough.

 

[tapedeck]

Exactly what I wanted, can't wait.

 

[Dolce]

Dead Space was a fun action game, but not very scary. I hope they nail the horror aspect a bit more.

Sony set the precedent with Demons Souls but that game was already rough graphically when it was new

 

[cyba89]

This doesn't need a remake.
