Dead Space Weapons Comparison - Original vs Remake

[@alexernst9448]

The original pulse rifle's alt fire was so goofy but I loved it. Also kinda tells you how messed up EarthGov is that their main service weapon is clearly designed for killing lots of unarmored targets at close range.

[@dead3464]

Goofy???yeah sure,it was a killing machine and a scape route if you were surrounded by necromorphs

[@F4Wildcat]

This is a key element that the remake does better than the origenal Dead space. Dead space 2008 basically had some weapons wich were borderline not usefull to useless. Every weapon in the dead space remake is usefull. But i do say the flamethrower in remake needs a Slighty touch of love Not much. Just a little bit of help. Perhaps the rate it consumes fuel slightly buffed or its damage slightly increased.

[@Servellion]

Then you missed out. It absolutely humbled Necromorphs left a right, made drag tentacles a joke and that secondary could clear out swarmers, divider parts, or just give you some breathing room. What the Remake did was a hard nerf and is honestly one of their bigger fuck ups. Especially if they remake DS2 where it got even more powerful where the Secondary, when upgraded, not only knocked back and damaged necromorphs (smaller ones like pack, swarmers, divider parts were just killed outright) it also hit the entire area with stasis.

[@correct_storage3766]

@@Servellion honestly I kinda like the new contact beam over the original contact beam. Since for the most part I didn’t want Necromorphs within melee range to begin with. So I saw the alt fire as particularly useless. And for the little fodders you were better of imo to just use the force gun on the enemies you mentioned.

As an old time dead space fan, i am in love with the remake. the Only gripe i have, is that some secondary fires on weapons should perhaps be modifications you can choose.

Perhaps something for dead space 2 remake? allow us to choose the secondary fires at the bench. Pulse rifle= Room sweeper or grenade Line gun= Laser cutters or timed mine Flamethrower= Firewall or incendiary grenade (DS2) Ripper= Launchable blade OR new alt fire= Hover blades.

Man the Remake nerfed the sound design for most of the guns. The Linegun, Plasma cutter, pulse rifle and force gun had some hard crunch to their sound design in the original. Remake just makes a loud pew for anything plasma based. And Remake Contact beam is a damn mistake. They moved the primary fire to the secondary and replaced the AoE blast with a fucking laser. Make a new gun if you want that effect, don't force an existing one into that role.

In the words of Bill Burr: "The pulse rifle's secondary attack in the '08 version's got a good spread!"

It has always bothered me how the remake had no weight or punch compared to the original with gameplay but I couldn't find a good comparison video on it. Thank you for making it easier. The stomp also lacks weight which was a little bit frustrating, all of the game just feels like you're piloting a character controller as opposed to lugging yourself about in a fat fucking space suit. Overall, I wasn't ever keen on this remake as what I value in games was missed out (weight, sound, atmosphere, crunchy / satisfying gameplay). I get that the game offers good stuff for others but it's just a shame it didn't improve on these fronts as they matter to me a lot. (contact beam good tho)

This remake better even than RE2 Remake. Just finished on PS5 and I liked it is so good. EA just surprised me with this remake with this quality. I hope that we will get a DS2 remake next.

The Soldier suit in the remake has a hollow back. You can see that Isaac has no backbone just like Motive the woke garbage development team behind Mass Effect Andromeda. The lasers pointers work in comparison to the remake. Point at the planet when in space and you'll see how the extent into the void while the remake just has a distance limit and display the cross hair anyway. Also all posters have been changed for the woke gamer's.

dude the line gun- ripper and contact beam are all amazing- the redesign is so good. i hate players that only use the same 3 guns. like tackle the game from a different vantage point- set some traps- be sneaky------..... or just plasma cutter 24/7. pulse rifle is so lazy imo.

[@iwantsaveu]

It is a very good-looking game and you choose this spot...it could be 1000 times better if you just move away from the light behind the character...

[@snoozyyaloozy5511]

Tbh my only complaint about dead space 2023 is how fucking hard it is to read the rig on isaacs back, combined with the complicated visual clutter of the suits. They really should've put less details on the back and had the rig itself stand out more

[@5000Seabass]

What the fuck are you talking about

[@TheM9lta]

@@5000Seabass suits in original less vivid, less parts looks separated rfom RIG on back, just less "visual noise" on screen. "Remaked" suit is cute flashie tin can with tiny aesthetic flashie armor ribs, with RIG in centre.

It’s really not…

[@vamperic]

I honestly think the remake versions kick the crap out of the OG ones... in OG deadspace I pretty much just used the plasma cutter and the line gun exclusively as the rest felt so useless, in the remake I used every gun and the alt fires were so good, especially the line gun just setting up beam death fields

[@warlord5295]

I guess my only nit pick it doesn't really matter but it seems most videogames get flamethrower wrong they make em look like a giant lighter pretty much when flamethrowers in reality shoot a high pressure stream of flammable liquid often times at a distance of 25 meters and if I know anything about fire which I do a liquid fire or class bravo fire its going to stick to victim and burn down to the bone causing 3rd degree burns and the safest way to put it out is by smothering it like with AFFF a type of foam used in firefighting all the time for bravo fires I figure this could make an interesting game mechanic like streaks of burning liquid on the deck and the bulkhead like you can make literal barriers on the floor to burn the necromorphs as they cross and fix up the burning animation make the flesh look charred and falling off down to the bone but like I said a small detail with a weapon in games all the time and what I say probably isn't gonna matter to anyone but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in.

[@EKk8819]

Force Gun all the way, the people doing pasma cutter only runs dont kno what they're missing. Beam is great too, and Flamethrower is crazy!!

[@francisharkins]

I loved the contact beam in the original because it let me put the Hunter and beefier Necromorphs down in one shot well also being abled to save me from swarms of necromorphs on the higher difficulties without having to also have the force gun handy. The Remake version? I don't just love the thing I want to marry it.

[@Evaquiel]

ok, the REAPER sound fx doesnt even compare to the original, sorry. in fact, i think sound design overall i personally prefer a bit better in the original, everything else i like in the remake.

[@Reality-Flash]

I love the Dead Space remake but there are two things I didn't like about it one the plasma cutter seems like it's gone from energy 2008 to ballistic 2023 and considering the fact that they don't sound the same compared to the original plasma cutter I like the old one more sounds more immerse don't like the new plasma cutter from 2023 and as for the contact beam seems kind of nerfed from the original where enemies get too close you can hit them with the secondary fire now you can't

[@grimble67]

I mean, yeah, it looks great. But the original is a classic and it holds up. Why not DS4 instead of a DS1 remake? Seems like a waste of time.

[@xTr4c3d]

Beat the original 3 games years ago. Played this remake like it was a new game. Only difference i noticed was the baby scene. Other than that was a good game. Could have been more difficult on hard or whatever was the highest to start but only complaint
