How the Dead Space Remake differs from the original
Like the original game, Dead Space is set on a mining spaceship overrun by deadly monsters called Necromorphs following the discovery of an artifact called the Marker. The player controls engineer Isaac Clarke as he navigates the spaceship and fights the Necromorphs while struggling with growing psychosis.
The Dead Space remake features a number of improvements over the original game, including:
Stunning visuals: The game has been completely rebuilt from the ground up using the Frostbite Engine, resulting in stunning visuals that showcase the power of the next generation of consoles.
Improved gameplay: The game features a number of gameplay improvements, such as a more responsive control scheme, a revamped weapon upgrade system, and a new dismemberment system that allows players to strategically dismember Necromorphs in order to defeat them more easily.
Enhanced atmosphere: The game's atmosphere has been enhanced with volumetric lighting, dynamic audio, and improved AI, resulting in a more immersive and terrifying experience.
The Dead Space remake has been praised by critics for its stunning visuals, improved gameplay, and enhanced atmosphere. It is considered to be one of the best remakes ever made and is a must-play for fans of the survival horror genre.
