Sure it had some actual flaws , for example especially with the performance , not having new game plus on day one , i don't know way they thought that was a good idea there . But over all solid imo for an potential start of a new universe , i am glad they did something different with certain things , it won't be for everyone.

[@KingInfernagon]

@@Kobalt_Rax_the_one I definitely think the game isn't that bad NOW. At launch though, it was horrendous on my PC and that's fixable post launch but... you can't really fix its monotonous combat and lackluster story. On top of that, the horror vibe loses its credibility the first hour when all it does are jumpscares over suspense (atleast it did for me, I fell asleep while playing it, a horror game!). Even if you expect it to be its own thing, it still fails in more aspects than it succeeds. Its below average in its delivery of a survival horror game in spite of the graphical prowess and audio design of the engine. Moving forward, they should handle the well-deserved criticism they got for the sequel A perfect example of a horror game recently released in 2022 though is Signalis, can't praise that game enough!

[@SweepingSloth]

It looks like they changed Isaac's character model to look more like Gunner Wright. I think he looks fine with that context, but I do agree he looks to clean. they should have given him a little scruff in the remake at least imo.

[@onyxosprey]

Maybe they're saving the scruff for the DS2 remake, heh

[@Peer165]

I believe the scruff will come with Dead Space 2.

[@GrandmARKGamerLady]

That’s what I came here to say. They made him look more like younger Gunner Wright this time. Last time, they just suggested his looks, but they gave him the icy grey eyes and greyer hair. Ironically, the original Isaac in Dead Space 2 looks more like the way Gunner looks today, and Isaac in DS2023 looks more like Gunner did 10 years ago.

[@TwitchyTango]

So my thoughts on that was he wanted to look clean for Nicole so he shaved himself up and looked for his women

[@TheN7Spartan]

Yeah I mean Gunner did mocap for DS2 and 3 so I'm cool with his face on Isaac's but they changed his hair color and made him too clean.

[@Rezo2486]

The one thing I was worried about was the lighting. It looked brighter in the bit they've showed but you put that to rest real quick. Pretty excited to hear they did a great job with this!

[@bulldogmicro4279]

You can always turn your brightness down. The first OG 2 games had a lot of darkness,but turning your brightness fixed this, but removes the scareyness a bit.

[@blinkachu5275]

I mean... the original Dead Space is exceptionally bright lmao. Dead Space 2 is the one that actually had proper darkness

[@denimschaffer9439]

The original looks way brighter than the remake imo the original still looks great but I will admit some parts of the game didn’t look dark enough but in the remake literally it’s pitch black dark which imo makes the game way more intense than it did in the original

[@marktoth3965]

Yes, though--as a "purist" who knows that technically DS2 is a better game, I have always found it too bright and colorful to satisify something about my general Dead Space aesthetic--I love the dim and murky of the orginal that some critics (otherwise reasonably) single out for its "grayness" of pallet. For me, other than the black and red of the pools and trails of blood, the green of Issac's life-light and inventory--I love the brown and blue shadows all through it all.

[@White_Tiger93]

They changed a lot of unnecessary thing, which shouldn't effect the original intended plot or anything. The poster, graffiti, bathroom, NPCs, unnecessary dialogue about being lesbian, etc..

[@durp312]

Issacs new face is based off of the actual voice actor.

[@naoseioq1234]

No its actually based off of Philip DeFranco

[@TABJJ]

As someone who didn’t play the original, He seems to fit the character well

[@intergaming8319]

It’s based on Adam Sandler

[@hihihi1q23]

Pretty much all the characters are based on their voice actors. It's common practice these days with performance capture. It's also the reason so many characters in the last of us remake/last of us 2 look different than their original versions.

[@matthewtinker7011]

All of you are clearly blind how can you not see he's based off Drake?

[@f-b420]

I’ve noticed as well, in the quiet, tense moments you can hear Isaac’s heartbeat pick up. It seems to be affected by looking at vents

Ohh, really? I remember looking around an empty room once and hearing the heartbeat, and was like, “What are you getting nervous for? There’s nothing here.”

I’m gonna say something controversial, but something I liked about 3 was how the Micro-transactions were handled. The inclusion of the Ration packs which could easily be acquired by scavenger bots made it unnecessary to spend actual money on any of the MTX’s and made it easy to rack up tons of resources and MK V parts in the game

[@BrockSamsonOG]

Hey Matty, good video. I’m sure someone else has pointed this out, but I just discovered that Gunner is the actual face model for Isaac now. I thought that was pretty cool considering he’s done such a good job as the voice actor. Fun to see him get the whole deal.

Most people ignore that Isaac looked terrible in the original. Everyone points to DS2 and 3 as his original face when in fact the DS1 looked like a Phil Collins off of Wish. To me Gunnars real face absolutely fits.

[@catswithlasers]

Personally, I loved parts of Dead Space 3. Especially the opening part when you're going from ship-to-ship and flying through space.

[@OsirisLord]

I like the concept of the Brethern Moons. I like that there's an explanation behind Necromorphs and the Markers that doesn't actually ruin the horror of it but in fact takes Dead Space's mythos into a true cosmic horror direction. There's an Issac Aasimov quote they use at the start of XCOM: Enemy Unknown that says "Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Either possibility is equally frightening." The Brethern Moons create a reality where both realities of that quote are true at the same time. It resolves the Fermi Paradox in the worst way imaginable. We are alone in the universe because there is a galactic apex predator that has evolved to prey on type 2 civilizations and creates a bait so perfect that no civilization has been able to escape them. And that includes ours. The final moments of the Dead Space 3 DLC reveal that humanity is doomed to extinction has several of these predatory moons descend on Earth, brought to our doomed planet thanks to the Necromorph outbreaks the Unitology cult started.

As a working dad, "less is more" applies to game length as well. 8-12 hours is perfect.

I feel like one thing they could do for DS3 to add back the horror aspect is add a Carver segment for single player and expand his narrative. Issac’s been through this show twice now so it’s hard to justify him still feeling fear and the strain of fighting necromorphs. But Carver is new to it all so his story made sense but it suffered because it was locked behind coop only. So adding him as a singleplayer option could bring back the horror element into the narrative without it being shoehorned into Issac’s perspective

The first circuit change thing at the beginning when I had to turn off the lights had be clenching ain’t gonna lie.

What platform did you play on?

[@martynadams754]

Really want this, but the £70 RRP (around £60 at some retailers) is just too much right now. I really hope this does well and I hope the higher Day 1 price doesn't put off too many other buyers

How bad is the strobing in the remake? I remember playing the original before I got sick with epilepsy. I wish I could play it again.

Imagine how the old devs must feel now that Callisto flopped and dead space remake is a smash hit

[@Sticks_of_Truth]

Dead Space 3 may not be what we wanted to be and had upper management meddling, but the game is still a good game. It may not be a good survival horror game. I can say that it's a good horror action game, and one of the best horror co-op games ever. We've got to stop just straight-up trashing it and discouraging people from playing it. It sucks they didn't get to make a proper Dead Space 3 but what we have is worth recommending and revisiting. They could actually remake Dead Space 3 and turn it into the survival horror game that it was meant to be. It would only take slight changes enemy encounters and ammo resources.

Love the Silent Hill 2 music in the backround

Dude, Isaac has the biggest dad face ever

[@bikesandbeats4693]

I was also a little thrown off by Issacs friendly ‘dad face’. But then I realized he’s just an engineer with no formal combat training. So it makes more sense.

[@LastRazerEater]

Hope it sells well. So they can remake 2 and 3, Fingers crossed.

​@Carl Gunderson you are alone on this planet for thinking dead space 2 is worse. Like NO ONE agrees with you.

[@ahmadprince4254]

Is the wisphers still there?

[@Ruri92]

Yes! Good to hear that one of my favorites getting a worthy remake, ive been so worried they would change it and make it bad.

[@CommanderJaneShepard]

Glad they added a voice to issac giving him more character. And the graphics, gameplay mechanics upgrades were great. U can fly in space like the second game and not just the magnet boots.

[@erikweltz8187]

Third game too

[@JayTraversJT]

The new Isaac face is so forgettable. Probably my only gripe thus far.
