Inessential.
Despite the many quality-of-life changes meant to bring this more in line with the rest of the series, like updating the Zero-G sections and letting you use your kinesis more offensively, the broad strokes of the game are surprisingly close to the original. A change I was really looking forward to was the “Intensity Director” which is meant to dynamically alter the mood of areas and what enemies will spawn, but in practice, this mostly seems to determine whether or not you’ll get ambushed while backtracking instead of radically altering the major combat encounter. It’s a nice thrill to occasionally get surrounded by enemies, but as with so many of the new features of the remake, it doesn’t wholly commit to this idea, more a proof-of-concept that could be really transformative if it was expanded on somewhere else. Basic Necromorphs are also substantially less threatening due to the fact that it’s surprisingly easy to stunlock them by stomping on them once their legs have been shot out, and for the sheer effectiveness of these newly revamped kinesis powers (encounters and the ammo economy needed to be dramatically changed to make threats meaningful the player).
Given that this production seems to owe so much to the success of the recent Resident Evil remakes, I wish it would’ve taken a cue from them and include some bolder pieces of design and pacing- throw in an extra Regenerator fight, change the order of levels, or go all the way and pull the best enemies from the entire series to give these fights an extra edge. There are earnest discussions to be had about what function the RE remakes serve (if they’re replacements or reimaginings) but at least they’re distinct- I’m compelled to go back to them from time to time!
Really, I think the hesitance to change to radically alter the structure and encounter design speaks to the real intent of this remake, which seems far more interested in making the narrative flow more seamlessly between this and Dead Space 2. Isaac Clarke more or less had to be invented as a character in the sequel, and that made the amount of screentime that was devoted to his guilt over Nicole all the more weightless- retconned baggage that hardly landed. The attempt to expand their relationship mostly works, the revelations here about how their relationship ended are much better about setting the groundwork for their arc in the sequel. For as strong as this dynamic, it seems to have come at the cost of much of the supporting cast; compared to their original versions, everyone on the Ishimura comes as the lifeless versions of themselves. Dr. Kyne and Dr. Mercer were amazing presences thanks to great performances by Keith Szarabajka and Navid Negahban respectively, but without that prior context, I’m not sure these new iterations of the characters will stay in the minds of those who’ve only played the remake.
The biggest sin is that the remake ends up being dreadfully boring to play through in practice, the threats so similar to the original that the horror doesn’t land and the action so easy to break that it actively feels like a regression from the constraints of the earlier version of combat design. There’s obvious passion for the project here, especially in some of the granular details, but seemingly not the broader vision needed to successfully combine the old and new ideas together.

FODA
I guess its because I played this directly after resident evil 4 remake but dead space has so many problems that resident evil 4 just doesn't.
Complain all you want about yellow paint for re4 remake is way easier to read in a way dead space isn't. I found myself constantly checking the little guide line since its just incredibly difficult to follow what's going on, being so dark. That being said the looping is a cool concept and me saying "oh yeah i've been here before." was neat but not worth the confusion of not knowing where i'm going constantly.
Since I can't be bothered to remember that this body filled, very dark, industrial room is surgery and this other body filled, very dark, industrial room is gardening or whatever.
Oh the UI, or lack of UI, is cool, I like that. I also like the gun ideas, they all feel like something i'd see on a big mining ship, even if they all feel kinda bad to actually use.
The zombie aliens are cool looking, when you can actually see them i mean, its so dark on this ship.
6/10

Really impressive remake and all-round great game.
Incredible remake for a already incredible game. Based
Esse remake não precisava existir. É um desperdício de dinheiro e tempo dos desenvolvedores. Eu zerei o Dead Space 1 original recentemente e posso dizer que as poucas mudanças neste jogo são irrelevantes. A única coisa genuinamente boa é Isaac falar mais, porém até isso estragaram fazendo ele falar só para dizer besteira e estragando tudo. Achei impressionante como não tomaram liberdade criativa para alterar uma série de coisas para melhorar o ritmo, que fica chato do capítulo 9 até o 12, mas nem isso os caras fizeram. Se você jogar o original e depois este, sentirá que está no exato mesmo jogo. O cancelamento do remake do 2 é uma bênção, porque não é necessário.
I wish this happened to Jeff Bezos while he was up there.
I should not have to rely on DLSS to have a playable framerate with a 3090. This game is extremely poorly optimized and my thermals are through the roof when I do play. Yes its a visually impressive game but at the very least I should be able to get 60 fps on native. Even with the DLSS I still get occasional stutters and fps drops. That is unacceptable and there is no solution. No mods.
Moving past the performance of this game it's a solid remake in the sense that it kept basically everything kosher and improved nearly on everything. The atmosphere is not as daunting and intimidating and that vibe just isn't the same. I will say I do wish they kept Isaac's silence or just really restrict his speaking as I like that it took a whole game for him to finally speak. Also wished they kept his design from the original games and just made him look younger instead of drastically changing his appearance.
Overall its not a bad game but the poor optimization really held back my ability to enjoy this title. Get on a deep sale and play during the winter because boy does it burn hott. Not the worse remake but not the best very far from it. Go play the original at some point if you haven't

Tremendo juegazo desde el primer momento hasta el último. Me gustó mucho cómo llevan la historia desde la llegada de la nave, con Isaac viendo una transmisión en video de su esposa, que en ese momento ni nos va ni nos viene, y que durante el desarrollo del juego esa transmisión irá cobrando un peso importantísimo.
Lo principal que podría decir de Dead Space: da MUCHO miedo. La tensión no se relaja en ningún momento, los monstruos están increíbles y el audio ayuda mucho a sentir que algo llegará por detrás a comernos. La historia es genial, el ir descubriendo el misterio de la infección y qué tanto tuvieron que ver los humanos con ese secreto, tiene un par de momentos geniales que me tenían picadísimo.
Una de las cosas que más me sorprendieron es lo claustrofóbico y asfixiante que se pone. El 95% del juego vamos a estar dentro de la nave, y me encantó también que nunca se siente repetitivo a pesar de que los pasillos y escenarios son muy similares entre sí. Siempre hay misterio, siempre hay buen horror y entre estar buscando armas y cuidándose de horrores espaciales, ni tiempo deja para distraerse.
Genial. Con muchas ganas de entrarle al 2, pero esperaré a ver si pronto anuncian un remake como éste, que les quedó increíble.
Just didn't click with me. Less a survival horror and more a chore simulator as you loop through the same boring objectives ad nauseam until something important off-screen happens. You constantly feel just a tad bit overpowered with a built-in time stop, gravity gun, and a full arsenal of weapons in your inventory, so the aliens are never THAT threatening. Resource management also feels almost nonexistent with the abundance of items, and weirdly enough, shops are on this abandoned spaceship. Just doesn't click as a survival horror experience, would rather play RE4 through again.
God tier HUD
nunca tinha jogado DS, então esse remake foi o meu primeiro contato, e devo dizer, que jogão bem feito, me caguei todo, principalmente no começo, aquele frio na barriga quando as primeiras criaturas aparecem, o desespero de não saber aonde ir, vc se arrepia todo, assim como esperado de um game de terror, é maravilhoso.
في العادة انا اخاف من القصص المرعبة بحد ذاتها وليس اجواء الرعب، بس هنا اجواء يخربيتها، ضبطت الخلعات والصدمات.. بس للاسف القصة عادية جدا ومحروقة، توقعت كل شيء فيها تقريبا
الاسلحة عجيبة الاعداء ممتازين، والتحكم والشوتر متقنين، الحق لعبة رائعة بذات في نقطة اجوائها من الاصوات واشكال الوحوش، لكنها بالنسبة غير مميز كثيرا، يعني عدى نقطة اجوائها المميزة، لا يوجد شيء فيها مميز بالنسبة لي

Como alguien que jugo el juego original hace tiempo, este juego revivio mis antiguos miedos que sentia en la experiencia original al igual que añade nuevo contenido el cual hace una nueva experiencia. Reimaginando segmentos "molestos" del juego original para crear situaciones mas disfrutables. Si tuviera que quejarme de algo seria del hecho que la historia no es tan interesante como en el juego original.
This was a great great time I loved it huge improvement on the original
o jogo em si é sensacional, dropei porque sou o maior CAGAO que ja botou o pé nesse universo
Cheguei a ter um leve contato com Dead Space no meu xcaixa 360, mas nunca tentei jogar por medo quando era criança kksks, mas agora pude aproveitar o remake com o gamepass ultimate, e posso dizer que PUTA DUM JOGO BOM, me surpreendi o quanto a ambientação pode passar medo, qualquer barulho eu já ficava atento, é muito bom a experiência que esse jogo traz, Dead Space não é um jogo, é um sentimento 10/10
“They’re giving me a lot of ammo, seems like it won’t be an issue”
Ammo then became an issue
Ammo then became an issue
Eu gostava muito do Dead Space original e eu acabei gostando muito do Remake também. Não lembro bem o motivo de eu ter desanimado do jogo para não terminar, mas definitivamente esse é um dos jogos que ainda pretendo zerar futuramente.
This is honestly the standard we should have for re-makes/remasters. This takes everything the original did right and amplified it x10. One of the first times i can say, play this over the original.
More than anything, it's just boring. That was the problem with the original as well. It's unfortunate we won't get a remake of DS2, because that at least had interesting parts.
Terrified, yes, Enjoyment? without a doubt.
mindblowing per l'epoca
Не планировал сначала играть, но вот так получилось.
Если совсем коротко, то игра очень крутая. Визуал подтянули, добавили кучу доп. контента (больше предыстории персонажей, озвучили главного героя, секретная концовка на НГ+, новые сцены и т.д.), пейсинг истории чуть подтянули. В общем, доволен, что прошёл.

What is particularly good about this game I don't get it
An amazing remake to one of the greatest horror games of all time. While the original Dead Space is timeless this game is certainly an improvement over it. Dead Space 2 remake?????
They cooked, EA Motive needs to be given the keys to a brand new Dead Space/Dead Space 2 Remake
They really missed the point honestly. Expanding it the way they did is fun to an extent but I feel it ruins the flow for me personally. What was a tight tense horror classic has been stretch thin.

-Que delícia de jogo, simplesmente incrível, um survival horror como qualquer outro, mas que faz tudo que se propõe com grande mestria, ele é um survival horror em terceira pessoa, a história se passa num futuro bem distante, onde uma nave mineradora envia um pedido de socorro, e uma tripulação, com nosso protagonista, vai ao resgate dessa nave mineradora, porém só chegar lá eles se deparam com uma nave completamente devastada, com centenas de mortos, e pra piorar inimigos extremamente fortes, os necromorfos
-A partir daí o objetivo dos membros dessa tripulação de resgate é fugir dessa nave mineradora, já que sua própria nave quebrou, e também tentar entender o que aconteceu ali, a história não é incrível, mas muito boa, a explicação do que aconteceu ali, acontecimentos e todo o contexto desde universo é simplesmente muito bom, além de um protagonista muito bom, tendo voz e personalidade boas, diferente do original em que ele era mudo
-E a gameplay desde jogo, que delícia, todas mecânicas são muito boas, tendo q administrar seus recursos para sobreviver, tendo lojas para comprar itens para sua jornada, ou máquinas de upgrade para melhorar tanto suas armas como armadura, além disso o jogo contém com uma boa variedade de armas, desde rifles de assalto, pistolas, canhões a laser, atiradora de serras circulares e mais
-Além de outro diferencial em que os inimigos do jogo invés de morrerem ou serem fracos contra tiros na cabeça, aqui o único jeito de matar eles é desmembrado pernas e braços até eles morrem, o que dá um ar bem diferente e legal, o jogo também contem uma variedade até que legal de inimigos, e alguns pequenos trechos de gameplay diferentes, como alguns puzzles e partes onde tem gravidade zero, em que você pode simplesmente sair voando pela nave, e como não pode faltar em um bom survival, o jogo contém com muito vai e vem pelo cenário, desbloqueando cenários que no início por exemplo estariam bloqueados
- E como se não bastasse, o jogo contém com um hud bastante bonito e diferente, já que vc não vê as coisas na tela e sim in game digamos assim, por exemplo a vida do personagem você vê em um dispositivo nas costas dele, e a munição na própria arma equipada e por aí vai, além do desmembramento de membros incrível dos inimigos
-Tecnicamente o jogo é impecável, os gráficos, modelagem de cenários, personagens, e inimigos são incríveis, é tudo com muito capricho, a atmosfera de terror é muito boa ( mesmo que pelo menos pra mim não dê medo ), A dublagem também é muito boa, já no quesito trilha sonora achei bem esquecível
-No geral é um survival horror incrível, com uma campanha bem curta, porém sensacional e que vale com certeza a experiência

- História

- Atmosfera
Pontos negativos:
- Trilha sonora esquecível
- Campanha relativamente curta
