To really get into the Dead Space mood, I highly recommend turning on your sound and letting this song play while reading the OT. Hope you like it.

• Stunning in visuals and game play
• New Game+ included on release

Dead Space Review - IGN

www.ign.com

Amazing
Dead Space is a superb remake and undoubtedly the definitive way to experience one of the best survival horror shooters that Capcom never made.

Dead Space Remake Review - Hits The Marker

The Dead Space remake may not feel entirely necessary, but it improves upon the original with some smart new additions to almost every aspect of its design.

www.gamespot.com

The Good​

• Dead Space's combat remains uniquely gratifying and the reworked weapons only improve its limb-dismembering action
• Secondary fire modes give you extra strategic options and room to experiment
• Zero-G sections are much more interesting and not as rigid as before
• Isaac's newfound voice gives him agency and the story is expanded upon in an engaging manner

The Bad​

• Side quests aren't particularly interesting and revolve around stale backtracking

'Dead Space Remake' review: a ripping yarn

EA Motive's remake of 'Dead Space' does most of what you'd hope for, while retaining the lightning-paced story of the original

www.nme.com

Pros​

• Visually stunning
• Improved zero g sections
• Retains the propulsive quality of the original

Cons​

• Technically demanding
• Innocuous story revisions

Dead Space remake review - a horror original re-engineered as a franchise prequel

While a fine piece of craft and a sumptuous reworking of the setting, EA Motive's Dead Space remake sheds a little of the 2008 game's enchantment.

www.eurogamer.net

While this is a meticulous and appreciative reworking, a little too much of it seems designed to get in the original's way, to blur its focus and mutate it into an appendage of the omnivorous franchise operation it would become, where everything needs to be written into an on-going narrative backdrop, and genuine ambiguity is minimised. Rather than rescuing the past, it represents a franchise reaching its tendrils backward through time to become its own progenitor. The results can be compelling, but make sure you play the 2008 game first.

Dead Space review

A definitive remake and promising precedent for Dead Space's future.

www.pcgamer.com

It took me around 12 hours to complete everything on medium difficulty, but the remake also features new game plus with harder 'phantom enemies' and twelve hidden Marker Fragments(opens in new tab) that unlock an alternate ending if found. So even though it's a little on the shorter side, this is what Dead Space has always been: an intense, momentum-driven experience. Most of all, I'm just happy Dead Space is back and Dead Space is good. Even if this doesn't lead to a new game, I'll keep my limbs crossed for an equally strong remake of the second in the future.

The Dead Space remake is a grisly cut of classic horror

The 2008 survival shooter remake feels remarkably fresh.

www.theverge.com

The Dead Space remake feels clean and good in a way that few big-budget Western titles do right now. In 2008, Dead Space seemed like a variation on any number of story-based horror shooters. It was directly inspired by Resident Evil 4 (which itself is getting a remake this year) but also shared DNA with first-person games like BioShock and Half-Life 2, which beat it by a few years to telekinesis and weaponized industrial tools. But in 2023's world of modest indie narrative games and sprawling open-world AAA slogs, it stands nearly alone. The closest equivalent, Dead Space creator Glen Schofield's The Callisto Protocol, seemed almost embarrassed to be a game instead of an unforgiving interactive movie.

The Dead Space remake changes all the right things

Made whole again

www.polygon.com

Dead Space is also replete with accessibility features, including multiple colorblind modes, input options, and even content warnings and an option to hide disturbing scenes. Yes, this is a game slathered in gore and visceral body horror, but moments of self-harm and extreme violence can be bypassed, if that is your preference. The work that Motive has done in bringing Dead Space back to life is exciting not just for the ability to play an idealized version of a classic game on new platforms, but also in the promising groundwork it lays for the franchise's potential future.

Dead Space Remake review: an excellent remake of a horror classic

Boasting a unique combat system and lush visuals, Dead Space is an excellent remake of a horror classic.

www.rockpapershotgun.com

Did Dead Space need a remake? Yeah. Sure. Why not. This is now the best way to experience Visceral's horror classic, luxuriously improved in small but considered ways. Especially for those new to the series. And for those who've already played it? I mean, it's Dead Space. Again. But better.

The Dead Space remake improves on excellence

The Dead Space remake improves on excellence

www.avclub.com

This is a very good—in fact, we'd argue, the best—version of something that was already a very good video game. (One that, in a nice change of pace from the typical remake trend, has not been remastered into the ground already.) If you played Dead Space 15 years ago and loved it, you've got a beautiful, improved version of it to come home to. And if you never played it, you've got a genuinely great experience ahead of you, a winning blend of horror and action that at no point feels needlessly beholden to its own past.

Dead Space (Remake) Review - To Remake Whole Again - Game Informer

This exceptional remake faithfully recaptures the magic of its predecessor while amplifying the elements that made it beloved in the first place.

www.gameinformer.com

Rather than reinvent the wheel, Motive made Dead Space look nicer, play better, and preserved the core of the experience. Its new flourishes add to that enjoyment instead of subtracting. This remake respects and polishes up my memories of Isaac's first encounter with the necromorphs without making me miss the original version. It also acts as the perfect entry point for newcomers since it feels on par with today's titles. I hope this exceptional revision signals to EA that Dead Space has plenty of gas in the tank and becomes a harbinger for more horrifying stories in this universe.

Dead Space remake review - return of the necromorphs

EA’s sci-fi survival horror is remade with next gen graphics and lots of new surprises but does the original game really deserve such attention?

metro.co.uk

In Short: An excellent remake of a not-quite-classic survival horror, that nevertheless makes a convincing argument for the continuation of the series.

Pros: A respectful remake that makes several changes to the original design without them ever seeing out of place. The core experience is tense and atmospheric, with an unusual combat focus.

Cons: The original game always had problems in terms of pacing, repetition, and general unoriginality. Remake graphics could be better and the zero-G sequences are disappointing.

Score: 7/10

It's Dead Space, but better, and many fans will be happy to see this classic survival horror experience get the modern makeover it deserves.

Dead Space Remake Review - Noisy Pixel

Noisy Pixel's Dead Space Remake Review from developer Motive Studio and publisher EA, avialable on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

noisypixel.net

Dead Space is a brilliant and terrifying horror experience made better with this release. Everything you remember loving about the original is still here, with added quality and updates that improve it for a new generation. While playing, I could feel my muscles tense, and my hands clam up, desperately trying to use a healing item I didn't have as I nervously rounded a corner. This will likely be something I share with all who play, no matter their past with the series. But, even without the nostalgia, I can't recommend a better survival horror gaming experience than this.

Dead Space (2023 remake) Review

The welcome remake of Dead Space brings the grimy, snarling sci-fi horror of the classic game into sharp new relief.

www.gameshub.com

It can't be overstated just how much a Dead Space remake always seemed like a sure thing, and after my time with it, that perspective hasn't changed. It's easily one of the best modern horror games, and the fresh lick of paint to really bring its grimy, snarling interpretation of sci-fi horror into sharp new relief is very welcome, especially when it maintains such faith in the source material.

Dead Space remake review: A masterclass in survival horror, all over again

One of the most influential horror games of all times returns to show us all how it's done. 15 years later, Dead Space asserts its place at the top.

www.vg247.com

And as far as remakes go, Dead Space has me thoroughly pining over a decade-old series. That's a success, if you ask me.

Review: Dead Space

EA's Motive studio takes a shot at reviving Dead Space, and the results are a shiny, bloody, foot-stomping good time.

www.destructoid.com

It feels great to just dive back into the USG Ishimura, though. Dead Space as a concept still holds up, and the reworking EA Motive has provided highlights its best features while shoring up old pitfalls. Sci-fi survival horror fans should get what they want out of this: the return of a classic, with gorgeous graphics and some new twists, but the same old boot-stomping good time.

Dead Space remake review: One of the best horror games is made whole again

This return trip to the USG Ishimura sets a new standard for remakes.

www.windowscentral.com

Pros​

• Stunning visuals and audio
• Gruesome new "Peeling" system
• Expanded narrative
• USG Ishimura is now interconnected with no loading screens

Cons​

• $70 price tag might seem steep for a remake

Geek Review: Dead Space (2023)

Dead Space has never looked or felt better, and a homage has easily surpassed its inspiration and become a flag bearer for the genre.

geekculture.co

A truly magnificent survival horror romp, the Dead Space remake by Motive Studio and EA is an excellent return to the franchise and a perfect champion of the genre.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Nice OT! I hope they really knock this out of the park.

I'd have rather seen a Dead Space 4 with a remaster of the trilogy as IMO it still holds up fine... but if more people get to experience the best sci-fi horror game since System Shock 2... here you go.

 

[CloudNull]

Love the OT. I forgot this was coming out so soon. The next month for gaming will be great.

 

[regawdless]

Word on the street (and that means the internet) is that the review embargo will be lifted on Jan 25.

 

[regawdless]

IGNs final preview:

Motive has made many smart changes to Dead Space, but it never shakes things up to the point of being unrecognisable. The result, at least across the first several chapters, is something that feels similar in philosophy to a director's cut (albeit a director's cut that's completely re-filmed on brand new sets). This experience appears largely the same as the 2008 original, but honed and polished to a beautiful, gory finish. As such, this remake will likely work best for brand new players or the most dedicated Dead Space fans. As someone who loves the original game, I found what I played an absolute thrill. But for less invested fans the value is of a more questionable quantity, since even with the changes this is an incredibly similar experience. As such I don't think Dead Space will be as essential and transformative as the Resident Evil 2 remake was. As the best possible way to play this landmark survival horror, though? I have near enough no doubt that Dead Space will succeed in that mission.

Dead Space Remake: The Final Preview - IGN

Dead Space is largely a purist's remake, but its smart changes could potentially make it even better than the original.

www.ign.com

They did change some things up, like adding side quests or implementing some features from Dead Space 2. Game looks great and seems to be really good. I still would've preferred a complete remake like RE2 Remake for example. Will still play it.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Great OT. Just finished up Dead Space replay and currently on Dead Space 2.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Now THAT is a remake. (Visually-speaking, that is. No idea how much they've changed core story/characters/gameplay.)

 

[regawdless]

 

[Franky Family]

Strong OT. You did well by this game. At the time, I really could not put this game down for weeks and weeks, months probably. To anyone reading this who has not played the game, know that you've selected a modern day classic, and prepare to be holding your breath terrified the entire playthrough

[regawdless]

and here I thought the PS3 version had aged gracefully... dang, that's a pretty upgrade.

And it's more than simply a visual upgrade. They added an "AI Intensity Director":

Motive created an "Intensity Director" that matches players to a "curve of tension" that ensures the game stays scary, even for areas that have already been explored.

"That generates […] whether it's lighting effects like flickering or shutting off completely, to video effects to sound effects, to encounters and fake encounters – just to have dead bodies lying around and nothing spawning – or a mix of all of that. There's basically hundreds of possible scenarios from all of these different combination of items that are possible when the player traverses and re-traverses the ship. So that was one feature we added based on un-broken immersion."

They also made the Ishimura one big space, instead of the fixed levels from the first game, added weapon and upgrade mechanics from Dead Space 2, added some side quests, expanded the story and certain characters etc.

It's on Steam. But we were talking about CDkeys, and there are only ones available for the EA App.

I'm really back and forth on whether I'll pick this up day one. I played the hell out of the original so I'm not super into the idea of paying full price for a game I've played before.

This art is from 2. That's the Advanced Suit (coolest suit in series) which as far as I remember wasn't in 1.

And going by the Resident Evil Remakes, and the general hype for this, Dead Space 2 should be the next in line to be made whole remade.

 

[Kuranghi]

No cheap Steam keys on CDKeys so its 50 quid direct on Steam or I can get the PS5 version for 53 with my work discount, I think I'll just avoid any potential fucking around and get the PS5 version, RT + Dualsense bullshandy will be a bonus, I think the resolution would take too much of a hit to get locked 60fps on my 1080 so I'd be locking to 30 on PC anyway, maybe with a slightly higher res but no RT.

Just praying for a really good HDR implement, they always fuck up the games that would benefit most... this game came just before I hit send, haven't watched yet but sounds promising, for PC at least:

I never was a huge Dead Space remake. It was a bit boring back in the day but I did finished all of these games.
I am looking forward to HDR here for sure!!! Lg c1 is perfect for stuff like this.

Not sure if I want it and if I do, if I want it for pc or ps5.
Dualsense would be great but this is a good mouse and keyboard game too
