won't get excited until i see gameplay footage, let's see how the clowns at ea destroy this

 

[SegaManAU]

Day one - this is going to be amazing!

 

[carlosrox]

Now I just need

Max Payne 4 and F-Zero and I can die happy.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Yes yes yes !!

The original is my favorite horror game ever.

 

[carlosrox]

100% getting this for all consoles AND PC just like I did with the first 3 games.

Except this time the PC won't get a weird port and my PC is actually good. In fact I just might upgrade mine just to celebrate this.

Gonna be a fucking experience. Playing this game on an LG CX OLED will be fucking nirvana.



No release date yet?

 

[carlosrox]

Jesus fuck we getting Dead Space Remake, Calisto Protocilol, and Metroid Dread soon.

Dark sci-fi fans be FEASTIN!!!!

 

[carlosrox]

Now remove 3 from the timeline and we're good.

No thanks. I'm good as it stands. All 3 are awesome.

 

[Troozi]

I love deadspace and I can't wait for this game, but I just can't get excited for GC trailer with no gameplay.

 

[Blond]

Hopefully they overhaul the game play structure., the original was too boring and repetitive.

I like how people laugh react, 2 was a MASSIVE improvement in structure.

dead space was basically

1. Start level
2. Get objective
3. Find the key
4. Turns out, it was the wrong key the entire time!
5. Go to point B, get the real key
6. Backtrack and exit level

 

[Camreezie]

So fucking pumped , this was the IP I was most disappointed that it didnt appear last gen

 

[Bartski]

 

[VeganElduderino]

Fuckin A

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

Please for the love of all that’s holy…….DO NOT SCREW THIS UP!!!!!!!

 

[Boneless]

I havent played the original, I am very interested.

At least in 1 some levels let you do things in the order you choose. 2 was just way too linear. Definitely prefer the backtracking little hub levels to the overly linear pace of 2.

 

[Balducci30]

What’s up with the trailers never being footage from the game or like a sequence? That was very little

 

[dcx4610]

Can't wait. I was thinking of replaying these again but I can hold off now.

First game might be better than Resident Evil to me. It has such an atmosphere to it and I love the upgrade system. Part 2 is a little too actiony for me but the story was decent and the game was still fun. It felt like Resident Evil 4 turning more action instead of horror. 3 people seem to hate and it has its flaws but is a good mixture of 1 and 2.

Still, nothing holds a candle to the first. One of the best games of all time.

 

[Yoboman]

Cool

But I started laughing my ass off when the creepy version of twinkle twinkle started being sung. So cliche

 

[SinDelta]

Disappointed that it's a remake. I mean RE2 and RE3 being remade made sense cause the games first came out on the PSX and were fixed camera angle/pre rendered backgrounds. The original Dead Space really hasn't aged much and still looks gorgeous.

Exciting all the same but a different story line would be better in my eyes. I mean, are they gonna remake 2 and 3 next? Just seems like a waste of potential plot.

They should remake this, 2 and throw out everything with 3 except - Space graveyard, customizable weapons and Tau Volantis in 3. Ellie should be Isaacs partner. Add the Unitology Tomb fleets they've always hinted at. Use a planet cracker ship to kill a brother moon.

Throw out everything else they did with the story.

 

[CRAIG667]

Please do not screw the sound design!

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Come on, man, that's a Dead Space classic! Literally from the first game

 

[Yoboman]

Come on, man, that's a Dead Space classic! Literally from the first game

Never played it

 

[carlosrox]

See EA?

You scratch my back, I suck your DICK!

I'll be buying Jedi Fallen Order now *out of respect*.

Any other games you want me to buy EA ?

 

[Duchess]

With any luck, EA will include an invincibility toggle, so that people can just enjoy the story.

 

[carlosrox]

Cool

But I started laughing my ass off when the creepy version of twinkle twinkle started being sung. So cliche

That was in the first game and it was awesome then and it's awesome now.

Plus it's an homage to the Alien Resurrection trailer that also used Twinkle Twinkle (though it wasn't as dark as it is in DS).

 

[Fbh]

Disappointing that it's a remake but I'll absolutely take this over some coop multiplayer GaaS Dead Space.

Hopefully it sells well and motive are allowed to make a new game in the franchise.

[Snowdonhoffen]

So what we can gather from this is:

• They're rebuilding assets, textures, adding new sounds, animations, etc
• Taking inspiration from some elements present in the sequels, like the zero G movement in DS2 for example
• Next gen capabilities enabled them to have ray traced reflections, volumetric effects and fluid simulations
• 3D audio to understand where the sound comes from and have the right propagation
• They really want to expand in immersion for example, taking advantage of 3D audio to make whispers feel close to you
• They don't want to interrupt the experience, and just like in the original game, everything will be told from Isaac's perspective with no cuts, you can play from start to finish seamlessly
• Dismemberment will "evolve" a little bit
• They've been talking to some community members to have some feedback on what to do and don't

 

[Craig of War]

Space the final frontier

 

[Bartski]

biggest takeaways from the IGN interview imo:

- no cut camera all the way, no loading
- implementing DS cut content, gameplay improvements and story elements from DS2 and 3
- evolution of dismemberment combat mechanics, "not only gorier than the original"...
- no MTX whatsoever
- big focus on 3D audio HELL YES
- organized community feedback during development

I hope the move with the "community council" is the right decision and I'm curious who's on it.

 

[Yoboman]

That was in the first game and it was awesome then and it's awesome now.

I havent played the first game. Still cliche as hell, there's even a tvtropes page for ironic nursery rhymes

 

[rkofan87]

reported

why?? or is this a joke.

 

[Skifi28]

Conflicted on this. I'd love a remake/reimagining of the first game, but closing Visceral only to have someone else make a Dead space game is in terrible taste for so many reasons.

 

[Derktron]

Next gen only. Praise the lord.

That made me excited! I'm like thank you, God! EA is doing something right this time around!

 

[SCB3]

I'm slightly disappointed its a remake and not a Remastered Trilogy with a Dead Space 4, but hey I'll take more Dead Space either way, any chance its this year though?

 

[Bartski]

EA guys claim no mtx.

Dead Space Remake Won't Have Microtransactions - IGN

Dead Space's remake follows in the footsteps of EA's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and won't have microtransactions for players to worry about.

www.ign.com

I know it's EA playing the good guy, but maybe there is still hope not everything they do from now on will be shit:

EA Chief Studios Officer Laura Miele explained to IGN about how the company is currently aiming to offer as wide a swath of experiences as possible, and that means choosing different business models for the right games.
“We want to make games that deliver the experiences our players are looking for. Sometimes that is a single-player story-focused experience, where players can immerse themselves in another world,” Miele said. “Other players want us to show up every day with new content and events in our live services like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, The Sims, Apex, and FIFA to name a few. We want players to choose an EA game or experience, and that means we need to make the type of games they want to play. Focusing on just one genre or model limits the number of players we can reach. We want to meet the players where they play and commit ourselves to impressing our fans with games that continue to surprise or delight them.”

In other words, they're all in on GaaS and making billions on "surprise mechanics" in FIFA, but they will also make some games like this 'cause maybe that's just good PR? Hopefully, as result, everybody wins.

 

[Rob_27]

Hopefully Nov 2021. I could handle that.

 

[catvonpee]

Being a horror freak it's always exciting to see dismemberment listed as a feature. I'm glad this is next-gen only. I was one of the ones who thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars Squadrons, so I am optimistic.

 

[Numenorean]

Im so excited about this. I loved the 1 and 2 on the PS3 back in the day. I can only dream about the capabilities using the Tempest audio engine. This game is all about sounds

 

[kyussman]

Pretty hard to get that excited about a remake of a great game that isn't very old tbh.

 

[trikster40]

Id rather have a new entry, but this will do. Now just praying that EA won’t butcher it.

Sounds fantastic.




EA, you don't need to talk to anybody else but me. Get at me. We're best friends again!

I'll tell you everything you need to do.

 

[ButchCat]

Man all I wanted was a remaster of the original but a remake?! The last time I felt this loved was when a tinder date licked my armpits.

 

[Danjin44]

Hopefully they overhaul the game play structure., the original was too boring and repetitive.

 

[rsouzadk]

Fuck yes!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

‪The new twist will be that you are playing Nicole. Which won’t be revealed until the end Samus style‬

 

[Mildudon]

Please don’t change the game like you said youin dev video just make it look nicer. Keep Dead Space 1 as is.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

‪The new twist will be that you are playing Nicole. Which won’t be revealed until the end Samus style‬

And now the first letter of each chapter's name will say:

Spoiler: Don't open if you haven't played the original game

I.S.A.A.C.I.S.D.E.A.D

 

[Danjin44]

I LOVE Dead Space 1&2 its one of the very few EA games I really enjoyed and I want to be excited for this but it hard with current EA.

But I'm optimistic.
