Maybe this is a far-fetched hope considering multiplayer is almost necessary to monetize a big budget game in our games-as-a-service reality. Side-stories are great! Put them in the game! 3. The result should be a richer story, and would help justify the higher price of a PS5 or Series X/S console title. The remake has a chance to fold that extra material into the main game, which is something we’d wholeheartedly endorse. All of it added welcome bits of background color to the overall lore, but it demanded a lot of fans to follow it all. The Dead Space saga played out over not just three games, but also DLC, comics, and an animated film. The combat will probably be just fine without major changes. Lighting (including ray tracing), sound, controller feedback - we’re after the whole nine yards of horror.

More than anything else, we want a Dead Space remake to scare us, using all the new console tricks now at the developers’ disposal. Most of the complaints about Dead Space 3 zeroed in on Visceral Games’ decisions to amp up the action (including one particular choice we’ll get to in a moment), taking the series away from its isolated, terrifying beginnings. While Resident Evil 2 had to change up some gameplay mechanics to make combat more fluid, Dead Space really doesn’t. EA thought they had a golden goose, so they just relentlessly beat it to death and then tossed it aside when it didn’t spit out quite as much money as they wanted.This, but with ray-tracing. It’s success spawned all sorts of spin-offs including comics, animated films, a puzzle game, mobile game, a legitimately good sequel in the form of “Dead Space 2,” and a disputed third game that had microtransactions unnecessarily forced into it. Despite all this, the original “Dead Space” was seen as the successor to “Resident Evil 4.” It’s almost like if you tossed “RE 4” and “ Event Horizon” into a blender and seasoned it with some “ Alien” and “System Shock.” The studio, now renamed Visceral Games, was eventually shut down. In 2008, a studio then known as EA Redwood Shores released a new survival/horror intellectual property called “Dead Space.” After releasing to immediate critical and commercial success, the series was subsequently run into the ground by Electronic Arts (EA).
