Dead Space Remake Review - The Best Remake EVER Made!?

[@ryanhowe5753]

I’ve always liked the original dead space fine, though I remember it feeling a bit too long. This remake got me invested in this world, and while it is a bit longer when you do the side missions, I don’t feel the length as much. Plus, the upgrade system and some of the weapons that were kinda useless in the original were just so much better this time around

[@Ririmo382]

Dead Space 2008 is my childhood game. One of the best if not the best horror game of all time. One on which I had the best scares, moments of tension, and the most scared I've ever been at progressing through each level. Now with the remake, the legacy of Dead Space continues to live on, and I'm now enjoying full time the Callisto Protocol and Dead Space Remake. My favourite games. 20/20 would play again and again and again and again till the next 2050 remake 😂

[@SSJdavey]

I'll be a 70yr old man playing the 5th remake of dead space 1 and ill still be crapping my pants with excitement

[@Ririmo382]

@@SSJdavey exactly, same feeling 😂 how do you feel about Callisto tho? I'm about to get to my first 100 hours played on this game, it's so gore and fun xD

[@SSJdavey]

@ririmo1463 callisto wasn't for me, I thought it was alright when I first played it but the more I spent time with it the less I liked it. I covered it on release and then went back for ng+ and the dlc, I felt ultimately that it was a flawed experience. Decent enough but nothing more than that. Damn shame really as I was mega hyped for it

[@SSJdavey]

Glad you've enjoyed it though! Wish I could feel the same 😭

[@Ririmo382]

@@SSJdavey imagine it to be a resident evil melee game, where the protagonist is destined to face his punishment for what he's done and the level design is definitely a representation of how unforgiving and inescapable black iron is for both Jacob and the player. Sad thing is Jacob died but not all endings need the protagonist to live.. the death and kill animation kill it, the graphics are crisp, and the no UI and amazing soundtrack create an interesting atmosphere! I do see how you can get bored or unphased from this game, when you play it only thinking about it's flaws and strict gameplay decisions, it sticks in your mind at all times, obviously. We're still in a video game. But the shit here is just living this nightmare in the socks of Jacob, while being immersed in the world of Callisto.

see the Elizabeth cross thing was perfect i literally got to the final chapter and went "oh yeah she's still alive i wonder what she's doing" and then the reveal happened and i was like that's so much better

Another great video! Dead Space 2023 is easily one of my favorite game remakes of all time. It handled the source material so well. To me, it completely replaces 2008 as the version to play

[@SSJdavey]

Couldn't agree more, outside of a nostalgia hit there's no reason to go back to the original now

Hopefully Motive remake Dead Space 2 and if that goes well maybe we can get finally get an improved version of Dead Space 3.

[@SSJdavey]

Thats my hope!

[@L0rpGaming]

Just out of curiosity: Do you prefer the RE4 or Dead Space Remake? Because you speak very highly of both

[@SSJdavey]

I really enjoy both, re4 I have to give it props as I was never a fan of the original...but Dead Space is one of my favourite games ever and to have remake surpass it in every way I have to give the W to Dead Space

[@L0rpGaming]

@@SSJdavey Thanks for your reply, very similar to my thoughts actually. I really hope we see future Dead Space games in this quality.

[@st.paddymad7085]

I played the remake on my Xbox Series X and I loved every single nano-detail it offered. Playing new game plus and getting the sercret ending last night helped cure the madness I contracted from The Callisto Protocol, especially after Final Transmission.

[@SSJdavey]

I need to go for the platinum, just need to find more time

[@st.paddymad7085]

@@SSJdavey I'd try go for Impossible mode myself, but I don't think I'd be up for the challenge. But all-in-all, such a blast playing it and I cannot wait on how they do Dead Space 2, Motive Studios cooked really well with this remake.

[@Dark_Jaguar]

You know what deserves a similar place? Well, we need to go back, BACK, to King's Quest 1's SCI remake. Only a few years later, that game looks and sounds much better than the original and expands on the gameplay with new controls while not going full on mouse based, still keeping the text. The Mario Advance games on the GBA are the All-Stars remakes but with all sorts of new challenges added. The Donkey Kong Country GBA versions on the other hand largely miss the mark, changing too much with mini-games that stray far too much from the core gameplay experience.

[@steelcurtain187]

Great review. This was one of my highlights from the year for sure and is up there as one of the best remakes of all time.

[@SSJdavey]

It'll be hard to decide on a #1 for 2023 but dead space remake will be in the running for sure!

[@wickdaline8668]

I'm only disappointed in the portrayal of Terrence Kyne in the remake. I found his character more moving in the original while he felt miscast in the remake. Much like Ada Wong in RE4's remake.

[@SSJdavey]

I can see that, compared to mercer or nicole he doesn't have the screen time that the others get in this version. I thought the way he suffered with the markers influence was really creepy, I loved how they did that!

[@jt7D]

Great review! Love the DS series, played the shit out of them a long while ago on the 360. Many hours sunk into the first two. 3 was fine, that cliffhanger though. Gotta disagree on the difficulty though, across my three playthroughs (hard, NG+ hard, and impossible) I only died three times. 2 on the first playthrough while I was figuring out the controls and once on NG+ just fucking around. And I’m not some ball busting difficulty lover, different strokes I guess. I do hope the DS2 remake (if they make it) keeps hardcore and zealot difficulties. Those were so much fun and super intense. Still a phenomenal remake, up there with the first REmake in terms of how to do a faithful one

[@SSJdavey]

Well done on smashing it! I died to some stupid stuff across my playthroughs all my own fault 😅

Nice review. I adored this game when it first came out. Recently i played Callisto for a few hours as it was free on PS but i just thought it was awful... Now... yesterday i saw that EA have a month offer of 99p to subscribe to their games. They have now included this Deadspace remake. So...ive soent 99p for a month of EA games then instantly unsubbed so EA wont start taking a fiver off me every month. But what a deal for a remake out this year...99p for 4 weeks. Tonight...when its dark...i will begin. Cant wait Best 99p I've ever spent.

Amazing result! 99p is a steal!

[@Ava6581]

I generally prefer my remakes to be more in the vein of RE2R and RE4R. While I love Dead Space Remake and RE1 Remake my big problem with them is that they completely replace the original. There is no reason to ever play RE1 or Dead Space 2008 they are just worse version of their respective remakes. The remakes of RE2 and RE4 have enough similarities to their originals to be remakes but have such a sea of differences to stand apart as their own experiences.

[@SSJdavey]

I see your rationale and your right at least with re2 style remake you get a very different experience and the original is still just as valid.

[@Angelfirelord]

It was an ok-ish remake for me. There are quite a few negatives in this game. First of all - modern day leftwing politics. It's much more than "Nicole is a cougar now, grow up". There are gender neutral bathrooms, race swapped characters, Nicole uglified, planet cracking and oil industry parallels, several gay relationships, etc. It is very noticeable and has a negative impact on the immersion. The story is ok, but I prefer the original one. I do not like that Nicole and Isaac, instead of a loving and caring couple, are now a beefing couple and Isaac is feeling guilty because his last convo with Nicole was an argument about his parents. Sure, they tried to expand and add something, but it just does not work for me. The same goes for the regenerator enemy - a meh story. I don't know why nowadays every single game thinks that each boss fight needs to have 3 phases. The Remake boss fights are not hard, in fact, you can cheese them. During the first Leviathan fight you manually shoot the weakspots and skip the last phase quickly, in the second Leviathan fight you can use the turrets in specific order to make it very easy and the final boss can be downed with just a pulse rifle and its grenade option during the last "hit the weakspot" section. If you know how the game works, you will realize that backtracking is only necessary when you have obtained the third security clearance. Up until then it is actually detrimental. Since you need the third clearance to unlock all doors and the mobs spawn when you open doors, it is best to minimize backtracking. Most of the mobs have scripted spawns, except those spawned by opening doors. The game looks great though and is pretty atmospheric. I think the difficulty is higher than the default level of the original game, which defo makes it more fun. Btw, the game never tells you about the peeling system. In fact, I completed the game two times before I saw someone mentioning it on KZbin. Flamethrower is actually a bad weapon because it does not stagger the necromorphs. You probably want sth like - Plasma Cutter, Force Gun, Line Gun in your arsenal. Overall, I think that Deadspace Remake is an ok effort to recapture the magic of the original Deadspace, but fails short of actually being amazing and memorable due to its issues. 7/10.

[@sethchandler4170]

The best remake of all time is Final Fantasy 7 remake. Obviously they made some mistakes by monkeying with the story and screwing with the pacing to inflate the play time but overall it is unmatched. The graphics and care brought to it along with the actors chose and voiceline delivery were all top notch. Not an easy task with nostalgia on that level and the graphic limitations of the original. Then you have the combat. It's a work of art unrivaled. They didn't just blend real time with turn based principals while keeping the ATB and innovative materia systems, they did it fluidly and flawlessly. The combat is still meant to be played turned based. A fact lost on many fools who questioned the ATB gains of their AI party mates. It is all done instantaneously, slick and fluid. The combat alone makes it the single greatest remake. Add to that nailing the voiclines, characterizations and realistic designs of the characters and you have an Avalanche of piling wins. Pun intended. The Remake was so good that not even the whispers or Barretts fake death could derail or even slow it down. Deadspace is a classic but nowhere near FF7. The DS Remake is great but nowhere near FF7 Remake. That's the truth.

[@SSJdavey]

The story deviation with some kingdom hearts fight against fate bs had me so salty at the time. I'm excited where they go with part 2 now that the doors are open but I was bitter for a long time

[@sethchandler4170]

@@SSJdavey Oh me too. I hated almost all of the stuff they added. That dipshit new soldier with a mullet, the idiotic ghosts, Jessie's protracted death scene or maybe not or maybe but wait... Terrible. That being said they absolutely nailed the most important parts. They even added the VR missions which was in my opinion the very best thing they added in and really it was brilliant. My takeaway was that what they got right they did better than I could have ever hoped for and if the price for that was Roche, Jessie being a skank, stupid fate ghosts, and Wedges stupid cats... I have no real complaints. That's how great the game was and is. It overcame things that in lesser games I would have been like.... Hell no screw this.

[@sethchandler4170]

@@SSJdavey Or to put it another way in relation to the combat: They made Aerith fun to control in combat. That alone blew my mind. No matter your tastes in combat, there are always going to be party members that you find boring, underwhelming or just flat out pathetic. FF7 Remake pulled off the unthinkable; every character is a joy to control in combat. I don't even know how they did that. I didn't expect it, I did not see it coming. I fell in love with Dragons Dogma over 10 years ago. That game changed my opinion on what combat is and what it should be. I realized it is what you use to drive through a game. It can overcome many other deficiencies. For my money, get the combat right and you have an ultimate redeeming quality that holds more staying power than anything else. I guess it is also the reason that I was deeply annoyed with Elden Ring. The world is a masterwork. Unmatched in design, spacing, rewards, atmosphere and traversal. The story was also very engrossing, having a mystical unraveling quality that just gets it's meat hooks in you. The combat.... The combat is shit. Boring, repetitive, basic, clunky, unimaginative, downright silly at times and just overall very reminiscent of a general playstation 2 system. With all it had going for it, the combat ( Which is what you use to drive through the world and story ) was so incredibly bad that it drove the absolutely brilliant parts of the game into a place with no replay value or into mediocrity.

I personally think the best remake is probably resident evil 2 because it completely revamped the game from the ground up. though dead space remake is a extremely close second

[@SSJdavey]

Re2 is a great remake no question about it, if it had retained the zapping system and had a more fleshed out B scenario it could have rivalled re1 remake for me

[@nothinguntouchedpodcast]

@SSJdavey your right. The best scenario did feel kind of rushed, but the new content for the characters that died in game was pretty good. Honestly, I have no idea how you don't have more views with your videos. Great stuff

It's like people don't understand, you are not supposed to see/hear isaac's reactions in the first dead space - YOU are Isaac, he is a silent protagonist, so that you can experience the moments for him. I enjoyed the first game thoroughly and am not sure why it's been revised to have been a bad choice or something that needed changing, in the remake i get sick and tired of hearing isaac after about an hour.

[@SSJdavey]

If they never gave him a voice in ds2/3 I'd agree with you - I don't mind a silent protagonist but Dead Space always felt like something was missing not having issac respond to his crew mates (to me anyway)
