Dead Space remake from Motive Studios

[Multidirectional]

Dead Space 1 is the only Dead Space. As frequently with the sequels DS2 is much more action-oriented. Action and suspence are mutually exclusive and latter is required to create horror atmosphere.

None of them are scary. My preference for DS1 is mostly because DS2 is too dark too often. Also voiced Isaac is a decline purely because the script is complete garbage in all DS games, so the less talking the better. Still, DS2 is not a bad shooter overall. It's D3 with its inferior weapon system and worse encounter design that was meh.

What bug was that?

Whatever it was it was on console due to my PC being shit at the time and it likely got patched out but I just traded it in.

 

[mindx2]

Is this game 3rd person or can you play 1st? Really dislike 3rd person shooters.

Hey guys is this remake of a third person shooter a third person shooter? I really need to tell you how much I dislike third person shooters while pretending to be interested in the game.

Thanks for the thoughtful insight. I don't know console crap so was curious as I had zero idea... and yes, 3rd person shooters SUCK!

Do it while you still can

Ended up reading that interview, only to find out that dude has absolutely horrible taste in games.

sure why not

 

[Child of Malkav]

God I hope this flops. Hard.

The redesigned slasher design look like a generic monster.

They just used the same face.

Original slasher design.

Redesigned Hammond look like a american nigger.

 

[Alienman]

Lol, of course they had to change that pic to a woman.

 

[Tehdagah]

The first Dead Space had like, 4 enemy types?

 

[lightbane]

Wasn't Hammond black already? Plus he'll still have the same fate as the OG game as it would require a rewrite otherwise.

 

[Ivan]

I thought the bottom pic was the remake. lol, the original still looks great

 

[Baron Dupek]

"they're the same pictures"

that new necromorph reminds me situation with Demon's Souls remake - better tech but with some dubious style changes

I was gonna trash talk because the past decade and a half of gaming has of course been a pathetic joke, and all the remake/remaster rape plays a big part in that, but the direction they're taking this actually looks kinda good? They are actually seemingly improving the gameplay, genuinely, and I am absolutely shocked to witness it, instead of just dumbing it down or only "improving" the graphics and calling it a day. See the video posted above:

Actually comes across as a professional mod, just going over adding shit that actually makes the gameplay better. The original had competent but by no means amazing gameplay so there's definitely potential and it is nice to see.
But of course, never jump the gun. We'll see come release. And it does look way too visually busy, will be difficult to see the necros among all the detail, when it was already sometimes testing in that regard.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Don't make me puke. Making the ship "open world", fully explorable, adding side quests that weren't there, adding random encounters, changing a number of things like the animations (Isaac walks like shit now), adding voice acting, changing names of various UI elements like the RIG link calling it live video call, changing that whole decontamination room by adding an encounter there where it wasn't before, adding that useless peel off limbs feature because "muh graphics" and that Alive thingy where you can hear Isaac breath heavily as he's getting lower and lower on HP.
Good thing I saved all three games before this abomination launches. God I hope this flops. So, so hard.
Callisto Protocol is where it's at. It may not be ground breaking or innovative but at least it's from the original devs and I assume that they put some passion into it. Fabulously optimistic but meh. Better than anything EA farts out.

 

[Ash]

Hmm, I wasn't aware of all that. Some of that does sound super lame.

However, random encounters when backtracking sounds like a good thing. More open level design and additional content could be good (hopefully without losing all the decent scripting and flow of vanilla). And this: "where you can hear Isaac breath heavily as he's getting lower and lower on HP." is vanilla is it not? He breaths heavy and whimpers when low on HP already. And why is this bad: "changing that whole decontamination room by adding an encounter there where it wasn't before"?

Those minor details like changing the RIG link to live video call is just cringey though.

Redesigned Hammond look like a american nigger.

Ayy yoo Izak, ya'll fix dat shit wit da tram an I help yo out findin' ya gurl, kay?

These characters are hella ugly. They nerfed Kendra's ass and tits, while they buffed the black guy's height and head.

Why does Nicole look like she's 40? Isn't she supposed to be like 20?

Also, did they just make Kendra into a lesbian? I don't remember her saying that in the first game.
Time to find and back up copies of the original I guess.

 

[SlamDunk]

That 18-minute clip checked all the multicultural, multiracial and homosexual propaganda points.

 

[ferratilis]

She definitely didn't say that. They rewrote most of the dialogues, based on this video. Also, the necromorph animations look really weird, look at that first encounter after you get the plasma cutter, it's like it's gliding on the floor.

 

[Alienman]

Weird how the style feels changed - from spartan utilitarian military space look to light 40k/gothic.

 

[lightbane]

The good: Isaac's suit has shoulderpads and some more details that makes it look more like something you would wear for protection, rather than a shirt with mechanical bits grafted into it.

The bad: Everything else.

Rewriting history to make everything woke applies even to Dead Space it seems. The animations of the monsters look weird, and the characters look almost as ugly as the monsters themselves.
