Dead Space remake from Motive Studios

[Fargus]

And normies will defend this. Sinister shit.

Even Mack praises this POS.
Just proves how fucking shit everything has become, when literally everyone praises this abomination.

 

[Fargus]

No shock here. Mack the cuck is just another babbling normie retard. And very annoying too.

Even synthetic man said its a decent game despite being woke trash and decided not to make a review at all.

Bought this, and yea, it's pretty fucking good as far as remakes go. It's been years since I played Dead Space, and this feels like a proper reimaginging with small stuff added, whilst keeping the OG stuff intact.
Graphics are decent, not super next-gen, but nice and atmospheric. I don't regret my purchase at 60 euros at all.

One of the better survival horror experinces for far, until RE4 remake.

So far 2023 is off to a great start.

And please, if ur only complaint are woke stuff about whatever trans bathrooms or other dumb moronic arguments, then fuck off.

This game is great. 9/10

Your viking ancestors are rolling in their burial mounds.

Pretty sure he doesn't have viking ancestors.

Supposedly it's easier than the original. Instant fail if so.

I haven't played the original for a long time, but there seems to be a lot more ammo, although they severely limited the amount of healing items.
I played on medium so I can't tell you how it is on higher difficulty levels.
From what I've seen remake has a permadeath mode, which I don't think was in the original.

The guy I was watching is one of those challenge runners, he said they changed entire encounters, enemy speed, numbers, aggression, etc. But yeah I don't know what difficulty he was playing on, so

I think my favourite part of the remake is how you can pay full AAA current year price for the same game that I picked up for $5 years ago.

But now with gender inclusive bathrooms

Yeah, but now they made the game transphobic:

 

[Child of Malkav]

No, they made the connection.

What gets me with this remake is that it does not really bring a significant quality difference. It is the same game rebuild with higher quality assets and minor changes. It does not leap forward, like in case of RE2, where you could say the game is almost translated from a formula/language that mostly older gamers understand, into something that can be understood by the contemporary audience. I'm familiarizing myself with the footage, I do intend to maybe play it at some point, but so far I'm not impressed. It looks like the praise it gets comes mostly from the fact that it is not broken or deficient and it has become uncommon to have a mainstream game that lives up to those standards.

It is formally a success. It does not suck. But that shines the light on the fact that its the same game for the second time, and its just disappointing that this is sufficient nowadays.

Looking back, it is impressive that all the three original games were released within the same console gen. Same with Mass Effect. Both change almost in a synchronized manner between the instances - 1st part is the most bold and original, it is deep and more coherent in its lore - 2nd is more action oriented, does not push the overarching story forward, is widely considered to be the best; 3rd goes full action mode and has a co-op component, plus a disappointing story. It largely loses what was left from the distinct visual style of the original game.

Can't believe that I actually agree with the trannoid

How are the all gender restrooms in this game designed? Is there a single room where women have to share space with the men or do they have three separate rooms: men, women, trans? If it's three separate rooms, then the creators unintentionally implied that trans people are still not welcomed in their "inclusive" vision of the future. That women don't want to share the restroom with men who think they are women, and vise versa. Not to mention how cost and space prohibitive it would be to make a separate restroom for such a small minority of people. If it's a single room, then, as I questioned before, why are there three symbols at all? "WC" or something else would make more sense. Why is "all gender" written there, except to smack the message in the player's face harder? Are restrooms off the station the way we have them now then? That pointlessly raises questions about the state of gender politics in the future (all gender restrooms here but not there), again making trans people look ostracized, contrary to the developer's intentions. If it's still two rooms, then the creators implied that, again, there is still widespread fighting over this in the future and men and women have to be reminded with a sign that trans people are welcome in their restrooms.

When I talk about these things on other forums, no one actually debates me. Their responses are like, "You become so distracted by that in a sci-fi world with monsters," and, "Funny that it's such an issue for people. I just noticed it and moved on." No one can defend it, tell me why it's not stupid. Same with almost the whole human cast of Star Wars: Squadrons (that I bring up because it's another game by EA) being black and brown, some Asian, like seventy percent female, almost no whites. No one ever told me how that is normal. One response I got said that correcting the prevalence of white male actors in the Star Wars trilogy could only be good. Can't remember if his comment got upvoted. He didn't tell me how it improves the setting, how it's believable or say why it fits in that world established so long ago. Bunch of users with him acted like I was a racist and made fun.

 

[Ezekiel]

Although, as retarded as his justification for Star Wars: Squadrons' bizarre human cast was, at least he HAD a reason.* Most of them can't or won't even explain themselves. They lack a strong moral core. Because if they are always all about diversity, diversity, diversity, equality, equality, equality, but are incapable of explaining why these particularly dumb examples of it make sense and should be supported, instead falling back on the usual empty ridicule, meme pics and accusations, then what is really at the core of their character? Why do they believe as they do? They remind me of the protagonist from A Clockwork Orange. He didn't become good just because of the psychological conditioning the state forced upon him. Inside, he was still rotten. Most won't ever admit when forced diversity is stupid because it would mean betraying the shallow facade they have made for themselves or because they are so afraid of being lumped in with the actual racists, homophobes, "incels," etc. So as they continue to not engage honestly, either because they are cowards or because they lack the brains to figure out where they stand and why, the poison that they mindlessly defend grows ever more absurd.

*My response to him should have been that George Lucas and company were telling a story from their own experiences, educations and backgrounds and had no obligation to represent other races. Forcing that can have embarrassing consequences. You usually don't want a total alien with no sincere interest in a particular people pretend to know them. It's a cliche, but if I created commercial content, then I, as a German-born half-Peruvian who has live in America for most of his life, would like to be judged by the quality of my work rather than by what I look like or where I'm from or how many colored and women characters I choose to include.

Does anyone know why the Marker symbols, strewn over the walls everywhere in the OGs, have been replaced with mere English in the remake? It made me sad. Albeit the symbols can be translated symbol-for-letter, they aren't "just a different alphabet" at all; their appearance anywere the Marker is woken up is a significant, lore-based cause. The fact they are often written by the blood of the writer themselves too!

Edit: Either the above-mentioned is happening only in the PS5 version that I tried for 1 hour yesterday, or something strange is going on.
The PC version is apparently ok. I just got this from a Steam forum. False alarm.

I'm playing this through EA Play Pro right now, and the first thing I had to do was to cap the fps to 60, since the stuttering is unbearable. Ironically, capping fps was also necessary with the original because the physics would go crazy otherwise. The second thing is that, of all the remakes in recent years, this one feels the most pointless to me. Since the game mostly takes place in dark areas, the high quality assets don't really stand out. As a matter of fact, I prefer the original since the design is more simplistic and there is no visual clutter like in the remake.

For example, they have redesigned the necromorphs to be more detailed, but that comes at the cost of it being hard to tell when you've killed an enemy because of all the added detailed. The design looks too "busy" at times. And the graphics aren't even that good. Screen space reflections and ambient occlusion are broken most of the time, resulting in a lot of shimmering. You'd think that, with remakes mostly focusing on graphics, they would at least get that right. Sound was also better in the original imo. And Isaac didn't have a face or a voice, thank god. Here he looks like homeless Adam Sandler.

When you factor in ugly characters, rewritten parts of the story (for the worse), and the aforementioned performance problems, this isn't really a game I would recommend over the original. Despite some weapons being "redesigned" to be more interesting, you're still going to be using plasma cutter most of the time. Just because they rearranged the upgrade trees and added some more items doesn't magically improve the game. IMHO.
