I wasn't expecting much when they announced the remake, but man, did they deliver what a masterpiece of a game.

[@robertutley7767]

Might not be for you, then. However, the Remake is basically Dead Space, but polished. And the original Dead Space was massively popular. Basically, think of a total Halo remake that pretty much knocks everything out of the park while staying true to its roots, and you've got a good idea as to why people like the Dead Space remake.

Not sure why you did expect much. Did Callisto ruin your thoughts?

[@the_ideal_grease5565]

@@ssteg1 it’s not for everybody but it grabbed my attention when I played the original the remake lives up to it

[@brayerkh]

@@ssteg1So you played for an hour and a half, and you only saw one or two enemy types… LMFAO, dude there are multiple enemy types introduced throughout the game. Why would they throw every enemy type at you in the first hour of the game? 😂 If you played maybe 30 mins or an hour longer you would’ve seen 2-3 more enemy types than you’ve already seen, like most games with different enemy types and more challenging enemies. There’s definitely more than 10+ enemy types, which is actually quite a lot for a horror game.

[@faceless2302]

Imagine how terrifying it'd be to be one of the few living Ishimura crew huddling in a filing cabinet and you see a steely man holding his gun straight out in front of him as he effortlessly sprints between necromorphs, only being momentarily stopped by the time it takes the doors to slide open. You couldn't be sure if you'd actually seen what you'd seen or if it was just another hallucination.

[@TheLorax26827]

That’s true

[@crhuskey]

Oh, you'd definitely sh*t your pants... ...and then use it to write "make us whole" all over the inside of the cabinet as your mind finally breaks to the will of the marker.

This is how a remake should be done. It feels like this is the original vision for the game. Especially Gunner Wrights performance as Isaac, he is amazing, really drives the connection and immersion. EA truly outdid themselves.

[@ImSoConfucius]

Pretty weird stuff at EA, they see the success for dead space remake but go and cancel the Apex Legends single player game. It’s all a big mess

[@ravenkarlin]

@@ImSoConfucius people have been jumping on the APEX thing and the cancelled Titanfall 3 and while I’d love Titanfall 3, maybe it was just cancelled for good reason. Maybe the pitches weren’t up to snuff. The Dead Space remake got the green light and is being showered with praise because it’s a great game through and through. I’m not one to say EA is amazing, after all they’ve done I’d be an idiot to say that in the slightest. But just some food for thought, sometimes a thing getting cancelled just means it wasn’t good from the get go.

What a great start to 2023. We get a remake that turns out to be one of the greatest of all time AND it ends up being a viable & fun speedrun game. That's fantastic. No doubt people will find ways to get it sub 2hrs on any%, I think more and more sequence breaks will be found. Me personally, I sort of prefer watching glitchless speedruns, but not everyone has the attention span to watch a 4-5hr long speedrun.

I think it would’ve been really funny if the new Game Director would notice that you skipped a few chapters and then just lock all the save stations and throw a huge swarm of different necromorphs at you, so much so that it would be impossible to survive and thus send you back to your most recent save.

[@Serandi]

When I've started the game I sweared to myself I would play this game as long as I find everything in the game on my own! And I can only play 1-2 hours a day. Now I'm almost at the end and I don't want to play through already! It shouldn't end that quickly. This title is already one of the best this year!

[@rodimusmaximus3912]

I don't get why a character should look like the voice actor? He doesn't look like Isaac anymore. That's really the only problem I have with the remake, it's stellar besides that one small thing, but I just don't get it.

The one thing I love about good remakes. Is that it makes it more accessible for the newer generation. There are many gen z kids who won't play a game because of it's old graphics/ gameplay/ or worse, accessibility.

[@talkingsillies]

Damn he got the sewerslvt in the background

[@BleachWizz]

1:07 - Yes, agreed. And I don't like dead space. It's just that as a remake it remade the game very well, it's a next iteration fixing the bad parts and maintaining what's there. I've seen mostly through gameplay but parts before considered boring or annoying are now cinematic and fun. This is super nice, I've been playing a remake series and then a remake gets new mechanics but the level design can't change too much and you're left with something that wishes for more :c

[@thomasstewart1380]

Hmm. When skipping to later areas of the game and completing objectives, does it also soft lock side mission objectives? I ask because I am curious if you could skip to a late game mission, complete it's objectives, dart back to an early area and complete a side mission objective to see if it updates your overall objective state.

[@RagnellAvalon]

Because some side missions can be completed in various chapters they most likely wouldn't cause a state update to main objectives or it would cause issues in the actual game but it's worth a look

This makes me so happy. Dead space has been one of my favorite series for 12 years. Seeing people enjoy it over 10 years after the last installment is awesome. Fantastic games, but I think the remake outdid them all.

[@ButWhyWasTaken]

How long do you prefer speedruns to be, i.e. too short and it is over in a flash, too long and it drags on or gets too much with all the pressure of not making any mistakes, etc.? About 1 hour like the original Deadspace? or more like the remake of 2 hours / a bit more than that?

[@olliezoop]

This remake was really enjoyable to get all achievements in, my only complaint was that the impossible difficulty seemed a bit watered down compared to the older trilogy in terms of difficulty, but other than that, no complaints, great game

[@lunavasquez7296]

I can't hear SewerSlvt without feeling sad :c

[@thelastgamer1]

I found a soft lock during my play thru when going to medical before the regen fight if you keep the main door open you can run to one of the side doors before the Dr can lock you in if you hear part of the Dr link lines your soft locked and you have to reload the game but as long as it doesn’t play you can set up the er room and set up the batteries where they need to be then go back and the normal dr locked room scene will play

[@zendakon8299]

I accidentally discovered the kinesis glitches just looking around for hidden loot in my first playthrough. Particularly, you can softlock yourself by clipping Isaac on top of a bed with invisible barriers and not enough space from the wall to clip Isaac back off the bed. I accidentally clipped myself out of bounds before I got onto walkable floors. Kinda funny that this is being used so reliably in the speedrunning community.

[@Roebuck325]

I would say RE2 is the best remake ever made simply because of the difference in the games. DS1 is like a rough skeleton that gives them a lot to work with for DSR

[@russdellapenna]

Now, speaking from just a playing experience, would you recommend going back and playing the original? I played 3, then 2 originally just by chance but never got to DS1, but I have the remake. Hope you're doing well!

With the existence of remake, unless you want to see the original, you are better off playing the remake. It adds more and subtracts nothing.

Play the original if you can, it feels really different gameplay wise (mostly the speed and attack mechanics, plus no 0g flying) and i have to admit i like it better than the remake in a few aspects. I played them back to back and even if i liked the remake a lot (specially the faster gameplay), i feel like it drags too much in some areas were the original doesn't, so i prefer to see them as separate.

I'm a long time dead space fan and I went on a marathon with all of my freinds to 100% ds1 ds2 and ds3 before the remake and when the remake came out I 100% it to, so much fun and such a great story

[@lordwoods8631]

I love speed runners, “Oh no, I actually have to play the game”

[@azrielsatan8693]

Since you can't do objectives out of order, I assume that it's a counter that counts up every time you complete an objective, therefore breaking it if you complete an objective ahead of time the counter won't go up since the trigger was already done. Alternatively every objective checks if the previous was done before activating. One reason I could think for this, based on enemies not spawning, is that since the entire ship exists at once, they used it to prevent stuff from generating outside the current mission. Side missions still working would make sense with the first theory since they would have their own counter.
