HardAct Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 With so many developers opting to remake older classics whether we want them or not, I find myself wishing we could get some Dead Space love too. Man I loved Dead Space 1, the others are ok, well 2 is good, but 3 well not so much. DS had some very original gun play, creepy atmosphere and ran very well. Just food for though, anyone like me really like the original DS and wouldn't mind a remake of the game one day?

Brick Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I would love another Dead Space, whether it's a sequel, reboot, or remake. I still haven't played 3 yet (I should get on that), but the first two are very fun. Imagine what it could look like on the new consoles with the improved lighting. Plus the sound design taking advantage of what the PS5 is doing with its audio would be a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I love the Dead Space games, including 3 which I played co-op, and I would kill for a Dead Space 4 proper sequel, given the major cliffhanger 3 ended on. I'd take a remake if I had to just to get interest going again, but I wouldn't bet on a remake or a Dead Space 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I loved this series... I don't think it need a remake. Just another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I have no idea where the hell they can possibly go with the series considering where it ended up at the conclusion of the third game's DLC. It's probably best just to do a full reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want none of the old characters to return and I want them to drop the religion marker bullshit. I'd honestly rather it be just like lab experiment gone wrong, or like they drifted into some space dust that was like parasites and it changed the humans kinda like RE4. Like, I don't want any of the psychological shit back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Did any of you ever play Dead Space: Extraction on the Wii? It was actually a really cool spin-off game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I initially thought I'd love a remake of Dead Space (or a Remaster of the trilogy) but I feel like the game design of "go here, get that, fight them, return back, oh no it went wrong, go there..." would be a bit frustrating now. A reboot would be the right option for the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjomesphat Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I think the series got progressively worse with each entry, but conceptually I like the franchise, so a reboot would be welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because they're great games but it's very noticeable going back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half way into the games, you could predict when enemies will spawn, especially when they'd "unexpectedly" spawn somewhere behind you.

XxEvil AshxX Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I would play another Dead Space game. I don't think the first one needs a remake. The game still looks and plays great, and does everything it needs to do effectively. That said, fighting the xenomorphs got really old, really fast. They'd need to mix it up somehow. Especially since you could just upgrade the plasma cutter all the way and ignore all the other weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but I played the remaster on PS3 that came with Dead Space 2, not on the Wii. Extraction was well regarded at release for being a very good on-rails shooter. They continued the story of Extraction with some pretty great Dead Space 2 DLC (since the plotline of Extraction ends where Dead Space 2 begins), which hinted at some big things, but like the end of Dead Space 3, the cliffhanger for the Dead Space: Extraction/Dead Space 2 DLC storyline was left hanging as well (Dead Space 3 does not elaborate at all on what happens to the Extraction characters, just the mainline Dead Space characters). 2 hours ago, Nokt said: But thats the best part. I also thought that was a good aspect to the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Ugh I can’t even think of the series without getting made. I LOVED Dead Space. I even really liked the Wii Spin off and the anime on Netflix. I was 100% all in on the story, the world and the mystery. Then came Dead Space 2. Which was just ok. The setting wasn’t as interesting, the story started to lose some mystery and they changed you from an Engineer fighting to survive with “tools” to Rambo going off with an Arsenal. Then Dead Space 3 was pure and utter garbage. It was like each subsequent game moved further and further from what made the original so interesting and unique. “Hey everyone what’s your favorite thing about the first game?” “Cool, we’re gonna start doing the opposite” Im literally heartbroken about the way that series turned out.

I never had a problem with 2. I enjoyed as much as the first, but iirc EA stuck there noses too deep into DS3s development and pushed the game in a horrible direction.

All the more reason to see what they were thinking to get themselves out of that corner! They obviously had a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
