This week’s Dead Space remake stream is all about art

You might not be in the habit of showing up for occasional behind-the-scenes Dead Space remake streams, but it might be worth your time to poke your head in later this week.

Who turned out the lights?

Some players are still questioning the need for a remake, and part of Motive and EA’s job going into 2023 will be convincing as many people as possible that this will be a worthwhile effort. I’m personally excited about the possibility of being scared in new ways. You go through a scary game enough and you start to
