Shit, that game honestly sounds amazing. Like The Order: 1886 x Bloodborne. I would've bought that day 1, but yeah, today it would probably be far too controversial.
And yeah, DI had some hilariously OTT demon designs, haha! Loved that game.

This is one of those games where I bitch about some minutiae on ERA now and then buy it Day 1 when it comes out.
Yeah, realistically a DS1 remake is the most likely project (beyond a simple remaster) that EA are gonna green-light for the franchise, so I won't complain too much. It's a million times better than the alternative of the IP being dormant.
It'd be pretty awesome if the ishimura is much more explorable.
Free roam, backtrack and unlock new areas, kinda like Control but with keycards or something instead of new powers.
Yeah, i'm excited to see what they will do...also beggars can't be choosers haha.

I'm very excited by this. I loved Dead Space 1 & 2 at the time of their releases but upon revisiting them last year I still really liked Dead Space 2 but was surprised by how much the first game really didn't hold up for me. It felt really dated, the combat wasn't all that fun, the map design/progression through the game wasn't interesting, and the bosses were awful. Not to mention many of the moments that were meant to be scary just kind of came off as corny or goofy. In retrospect, I think Dead Space 1 stood out at the time because it had a strong aesthetic and thanks in large part to the survival horror genre being mostly dead at the time. So I think the first game would benefit greatly from an RE2 style remake.
Just tried Dead Space 1 on my XSX and LG CX...ya this game is due for a remake.
Not sure what similar to RE2 remake means though.

This exists already thanks to RPCS3.
Ain't got no PC capable of that, which is why I want a PS4/PS5 remaster.
Oh I wasn't saying there shouldn't be one, I'm saying if you want too see it, you can O_O
hah
Hopefully they'll make the combat more faster, it just seems dated now and they could spice it up with something new.
If it's very very similar in level design/encounters like the Demons Souls remake than that's. . . boring and they shouldn't follow the DS formula. Even DS fans said so whilst still saying it's a good game.
the text in the faulty previews is different if you follow the actual links
Demon's Souls Remake - was it good?
It was a 1:1 remake of one of the best games of the PS3/360 generation. It wasn't anything ground-breaking and the game has been talked about a lot over the years. It's an amazing product but it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Demon's Souls Remake - was it good?
I would have preferred more than a 1:1 remake but it’s good. Great graphics and audio. But still plays like a game from 2009

It's great but, the amazing visuals with outdated gameplay is a weird juxtaposition. However, it's a game I'll never play again.

Whatever the game is at the end (remake, reimagining, spiritual successor within the same IP etc. etc.), if it's good (70+ Metascore, because way too many great horror games end up in the 70s, just look at Evil Within 2), I'll play it.
I don't even mind it being a remake of the first game if it tries some different things (which is kind of what the article in the OP is all about), after all the original won't magically stop existing and the first game had such an excellent formula that it can be easily reiterated upon. I mean I doubt anyone would have complained back in the day if Dead Space 2 had been set on another Not!Ishimura.

I'm not a horror guy and was scared to death playing Dead Space 1 the first time (and here and there even on the next few runs). The Leviathan boss fight was something else for me. That gigantic Silo with it at the end was just a phenomenal image. If they deliver on this remake, then that encounter should be pretty nuts. Hopefully with the free no gravity movement we got by DS2.
Does it in any way need a remake? It still looks and sounds great and the gameplay is still decent. How about a Dead Space 4? I totally get a RE2 remake, but this is like Demons Souls. Nice to have but not needed.
However, I will play it anyways.
While we're at it, should I wait for a Dragon Age Legendary Edition or play them soon?

Please don't ruin the atmosphere. The scares and the sound design was well planned. With tech out should be spects9, but easily fumbled.
I do agree that it's not really "needed" from a gameplay perspective. But if they're intending to bring this franchise back from the dead I can understand why they'd want to do it this way. Just to freshly re-introduce it to a new audience and get people excited about the brand...and not only as a nostalgia thing. A soft reboot approach maybe.
I think if they remake dead space 1/2 and then make an entirely new version of dead space 3 that isn't garbage, they'd be onto a winner. It would have the potential to fix histories mistakes and who knows...maybe then we get a dead space 4 and beyond.
The way that this happens is if people buy this one regardless of whether they think it's necessary or not. People always talk about franchises getting another shot, this is that moment.
All we have to do is look at Alien Isolation as an example. THIS WAS 2014!!
Just fucking imagine what they could do with next gen hardware and the tight space ship wide linear design of Dead Space. Imagine it!
Isaac was sorely missing a personality in DS1. Like it didn't make it more immersive to have him never speak to anyone. Especially when 2 gave us scenes like this:
Plus there are QoL features in the sequels that absolutely would fit the first game.

Feed me more.
Yes, making a game takes a lot of money. A remake allows you to charge full price and opens the posibility for a full priced sequel.
Then they made the right choice...then they made the very wrong choice.
And lots of people were like "don't worry, coop is optional! You can ignore it if you don't want" but then Dead Space 3 was completely designed around it, because that is the actual reality of building levels, having two hooks to slide down, having two buttons, have open enough areas to shoot all the things in the head (because they forgot about the limb thing for some reason).
Will they make the same correct choice in a remake? Seems doubtful.
I'm a fan of silent protagonists so changing that would be a detriment for me. Feels like they'll probably modernize it to the sequel's standards like you're suggesting and that's a shame imo
He didn't miss anything and him not talking *was* his personality.
Yeah make it a Metroidvania. And don't forget to add roguelike-elements, lol.
Do you mean a remaster? Because a remake is going to cost the same amount as a sequel would.
It's gonna be really interesting to see EA do 1-2 good games and then mess up the same great series a second time due to greed.
