I remember my dad, my little brother and I sitting in a dark living room playing the original with surround sound and crapping ourselves hearing the skittering. My brother and I consider our first playthrough one of our fondest memories.

yeah I and my brother did the same we played the trilogy when my parents were on weekend we played it on a big tv with surround sound late at night with lights turned off it is something really amazing I was really sad when they disbanded the visceral games I was waiting for the sequel all these years Calisto protocol was fine but it wasn't really what I wanted hope this game sells so we get sequels

This game is one of the all time great horror games. I love this one, Alien: Isolation, and the earlier Doom where you could only have the gun or light, but not both, in your hands at any one time.

One of the most terrifying things I remember about the necromorphs was how they can randomly change up their speed at which they approach you. Usually they slowly shamble towards you so you have a false sense of security thinking you have plenty of time to take them out, but then they suddenly break into a full on sprint and rush you

[@vojnov9885]

Or how they fake death and when you go to loot them they jump up again.

[@Vinsternator40]

When they sprint they also swing their arms rapidly and their legs are moving fast so it’s hard to shoot them to slow them down. They’ll just eat body shots till they get to you.

I'm looking at this the same way I looked at the RE1 remake and how much it changed and kept the same. Letting you explore the Ishimura fully, the weapon changes, Isaac fully voiced, new cutscenes, the gravity control from the sequel, but keeping the aesthetic and story intact with a (mostly) brand new cast. AND new enemies and a new secret ending? Legit worth grabbing.

Hey Karak, I just want to say I really appreciate how concise your videos are. I have a friend trying to grow a small channel and he often bounces his thoughts off of me. In the process of trying to find what works and doesn't I've ended up looking at the content I enjoy most through a more critical lens. I keep coming back to your channel for an assortment of examples they can pull from for a variety of reasons. Though the thing I feel really rings true with your channel is it feels like you've taken the time to work on a script and distilled it down to the most succinct version of itself. That and your more humble personality really resonates. Anyway, thanks for content man, always love seeing a new video drop.

[@adrianastrolux]

I somehow missed these games when they were originally released. Very excited to experience this for the first time

[@BucklingSwashes]

Dead Space 2008 was the first game I ever preordered. Despite next to no hype surrounding it (that I knew of at the time, at least), it just looked unique, and I had never really PLAYED horror games before. I absolutely loved it. Motive earned my faith and trust with Squadrons, and it made this remake one of the three games I've preordered in the last five years. I am deeply excited, and very glad to see reviews have been so positive. This is what passion and talent can do.

I distinctly remember playing Dead Space when it first came out. I remember rolling my eyes when EA said they were publishing a Survival Horror game - I half expected it to be terrible, so I decided to rent it from a local Blockbuster. I played it alone in the dark. It was honestly a terrifying experience… and I had lots of experience with survival horror games at that time. I’m glad it got a remake for new audiences. And I’m really happy it’s getting similarly positive reviews.

THIS game is so important between myself and my daughter... She insisted on stating up late ( she was 4 )... I thought it would make no "NOPE!!" outta there and go to bed... Nope, she was enthralled, called out enemies, and gripping onto my arm at certain points... It was one the funnest 2 day ever... Now, scary movies and games are just our thing... We love them... You'd never know either, because she's the kindest teen ever... We joke and call them "Parental Failure Nights"... I think I'm nearly at 850 now... 👍 I'd LOVE to get this remake to play with her!!!

[@Narc51423]

Watching the first couple of minutes of this: It doesn't look like they fixed the (slightly) annoying movement system - where you cannot move diagonally and, instead, have to awkwardly turn sideways and strafe. :( For whatever reason: The lack of a diagonal moving option was not a big deal for me back in 2008, when the game released, but quickly became annoying when trying to replay it much later. Knit-picking aside: The game looks fantastic and I'll TRY to wait for a sale.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

I had already pre-ordered it for $41 a month ago, so I'm just here to hear the review. The OG game is still as good as it ever was (even better on PC), but even six or seven years ago it was starting to show its age with many of the textures. While I am getting a bit tired of the remaster/remake trend, this game kind of needed the visual upgrade. Glad it seems to be stable and bug free from day one...unlike a certain other "Dead Space" game that recently released.

The ishimura was always such a cool setting. I adored ‘event horizon’ when I was younger, it was the first piece of sci-fi horror that really clicked with me (alien/s was more fun and adventure-like) I always felt like Dead Space captured that feeling well, the claustrophobic horror of being in space.

The greatest 'low-key' appeal of the original was the ship itself - the Ishimura. A ship that actually felt like a ship, coherent, logical, functional. With the remake it now feels gargantuan in size, you're dwarfed by the immense engineering which fires out spectacularly as you restore function. Fabulous remake, keeping the claustrophobic desperation, quality voice acting and internal logic. Now we have some of the best use of lighting I've ever seen in a game. 9/10

Another awesome review by ACG. I recently went through the Dead Space series on backwards compatibility as I wanted to remind myself how great these games were. I appreciate that they left the heart of the game and made improvements (tighter controls, better graphics, more content). Just not 100% that I want to pay FULL RETAIL for the remake. On the one hand, this would have been insane if the game(s) had not been backwards compatible as the nostalgia alone would sell it. Some games deserve a remake or even a "fresh coat of paint" remaster. On the other hand, you could look at it as a "cash grab" in a way with repackaging and reselling a highly popular series to an existing fan base and with the hopes of expanding it. For me, it is a wait for sale.

Having played this game 10 years ago, I struggle to justify paying premium dollars for a game that had it's foundation, story, and mocap in place years ago. Yes, adding new lighting and textures looks awesome, but this is EA trying to sell a game at full price with 1/3 the work of the original developers. I'm waiting for it to hit 19-29 dollars in a few months when EA realizes other games are taking its appeal away.

[@ramonosuke]

I've learned with both Ubisoft and EA titles, to never buy on release. Within a month it will be on sale at 25-40% off

[@ajgrand]

Charging full price for a rehashed game is something I just can’t do. I will just wait for it to go below $40 👍🏽

[@trey631]

Great review as always! I will hold off for a sale since I played the original and Dead Space 2 about 6 months ago.

[@CJFreeza]

Those game will forever be one of my all-time favorites. Seeing this classic being given fresh life is amazing.

Purchased. I waited for reviews, mainly yours. Preload done and tomorrow after work it's headphones + dark room time. I'm so, SO happy this is better than The Callisto Protocol from which I had tons of expectations.

Once again Karak, thank you for all your hard work and honest take. I really do trust your word, and have similar taste to yours. Basically I'm just writing this to drive up your numbers so the algorithm stops screwing you over. Even thought I've been subbed to you for years, I rarely see your channel pop up on my home page. I don't know whose mom at KZbin you screwed over, but I appreciate the work you do. Here's to hoping KZbin lets you back into the "members only" club.

Man I'm pre-ordering right now. First time I've pre-ordered a game in well over 15 years. Thank you for your reviews!

In short, just play the original. If you really loved the original but also felt it needed a remake then you never really loved the game. It was more than likely just nostalgia.

[@randydonovan7844]

Why if you have the money and the system to play this?

[@sirvader7084]

I was waiting for your review to confirm my purchase lol I know to take reviews as personal opinions but I REALLY trust yours.

[@jdrobin1]

Beat DS 1 AND 2 years ago. Never bothered to play 3. I'll probably get this one on sale or when it inevitably comes to EA play on Gamepass. It's essentially the same game with updated visuals and a voice for Issac. I'll definitely play it in the future.

One thing im most happy about this remake, is that i'll get to replay it in english. Back when it came out, living in Switzerland i bought it on ps3 and it was in frenchsadly. Now its going to be even better. Was one of the first cosplays i did as well and won my first contest with it, so its has a lot of personal meaning to me as well.

[@FalloutYakuza]

I love dead space, but $70 for a remake is absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to wait until it's $20-$30.

[@ramonosuke]

It's an EA game, it will be on sale for around $45 in a month. Look at the new Need for Speed, it got down to $41 after only three weeks on PSN

[@The1of1000]

I honestly felt like the money I spent was more of a donation than anything, indicating how much I want the franchise as a whole to be revitalized.

[@rlam905]

Why did they make Nicole look so ugly though?

[@charmingpeasant9834]

Attractive women in games are offensive.

[@robertusher5612]

Per your comments about music stinger being off a little - if I remember correctly in the original Dead Space, the player would not hear a combat stinger until a Necromorphs detects you, not the other way around. Makes it a little more scary since it can happen with your back turned. Hopefully they kept this as I thought it added a little to the “WTF” factor.

[@ACGreviews]

Interesting. I found it didnt work in places. But your explanation makes some sense. It doesn't work great though

[@MavethTheReaper]

Will be picking this up ty for the review ACG

[@Kermitgottagun]

Last time I played the OG Dead Space was way back when it first came out back in like what 2008? That was 15 years ago I remember being 13 in high school first picking this up after school and played it all weekend in a sitting using only the Plasma Cutter. I am looking forward to playing this remake tonight since I don't have to go to work this week might try to do a no deathrun plus Plasma Cutter only run.

On new game plus rn and prepping for IMPOSSIBLE mode but I wish i could've done it this playthrough because I'm a few chapters in again and have only been hit like once and have ammo stacked for days. Game has grown on me. I never start a NG+ immediately after the first playthrough let alone actually stick with it. Everyone on the fence that is bored and has the cash i would definitely recommend it to.

[@yanuarmustika5816]

I made a mistake playing DS2 before 1 back then. Silent Isaac make DS1 feels really weird. Now it's time to play again.

[@scoobtube5746]

I injured myself playing the original. I sat down in a gaming chair and played the first 3-4 hours straight through, and must've tensed up so much, that when I stopped, I couldn't move. My back was very badly hurt. Took five days to be able to move normally again, and I recall having to call off from work a couple of days. That's how scary that game was at the time.

[@RednalPR]

I literally loled with your comment, this happened to me too. Could only play 1-2 hours before needing to take a break to recover mentality from this game.

[@DenyThisFlesh]

I only briefly played the original due to my addiction to Gears of War multiplayer back then. I'm happy this remake is a thing. After finishing a full playthrough earlier today I immediately started new game plus. I loved every minute of it.

[@RAMPED]

Man that carpenter level bit was great. You're a good writer for these.
