The Dead Space remake is set to bring the popular survival-horror game to modern platforms with vast improvements, including better graphics and audio design. Developer EA Motive is being incredibly transparent with Dead Space fans when it comes to the remake, hosting livestreams that give them early looks at some of the changes coming in the new version of the game.

EA Motive has released a new Dead Space remake video that showcases the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle as they appear in the original game, the audio livestream, and now after the changes have been implemented.
