Dead Space Remake Should Have Its Own Mr. X

gamerant.com:

Announced in 2021, EA Motive's Dead Space remake will be a fully next-gen version of the genre-defining 2008 game. While the spirit of the game will be the same as the original, 2022's Dead Space will attempt to not only upscale the look and feel of the first Dead Space, but also improve elements of combat and gameplay mechanics. One of the most immediate and obvious aspects that fans of the series have been able to see from the limited glimpses of the game is the visual improvements, with a major graphical overhaul as the developers completely rebuild the game in Frostbite.

Despite the improvements, fans are hoping that the game mostly stays true to the original Dead Space which was met with critical acclaim for its atmosphere, design, and unique gameplay. However, alongside tweaks to improve the overall experience, players might want to see other new elements to make sure the game feels fresh and original, and not just a moment-for-moment remake. With roots in the horror genre, Dead Space could look to the Resident Evil franchise for ideas on how to re-energize a game, while still maintaining the features that made it great in the first place.

Motive Studios has said that it will stick to the original game's story, with voice actor Gunner Wright returning to reprise his role as beleaguered engineer Isaac Clarke. Although dialogue wasn't really a part of Issac's depiction in the first Dead Space, it will be added sparingly to help add gravity to key moments. Apart from a handful of small changes, Motive is apparently committed to maintaining important elements of the original Dead Space like pacing, storylines, and themes.
