Dead Space Remake: Every Change Confirmed for Isaac So Far

gamerant.com:

Dead Space is an upcoming remake of EA's iconic 2008 survival horror game that will be making a number of improvements. Considering how long ago that original release was — and the fact it's being developed by Motive Studio, with original creators Visceral Games shut down — some changes are to be expected in the remake so that it better fits the current generation. From what's been shown so far, though, it looks to be a pretty faithful recreation of Visceral's landmark title. Visuals, audio, and physics are being overhauled for next-gen technology, but the remake maintains the atmosphere, setting, and story of the original. One aspect getting some changes that might surprise some fans, however, is the protagonist Isaac Clarke.

The Dead Space remake was first announced at 2021's EA Play event, to the joy of eager fans who had suspected it was in the works based on months of rumors. It's a return to form for the series, focusing more on the Resident Evil-inspired survival horror elements of the original as opposed to the more action-oriented later installments. Those aspects were part of what made the first game the fan favorite of the series. Other welcome changes include the removal of the microtransaction system that plagued Dead Space 3 and a more in-depth rendition of the dismemberment feature that was the series' key combat mechanic. While that all sounds like good news, changes to Isaac may be more divisive for some fans familiar with the originalDead Space.
