One of the big worries is that Isaac’s girlfriend, Nicole Brennan, a medical officer, is among the missing. The other surviving crew members tell Isaac where to go to help recover some of the ship’s functionality, but he solves some of the puzzles himself and talks things through with the other survivors, who are stuck in different parts of the ship. Other survivors are on the ship, and Isaac Clarke, the mining engineer who is the everyday hero, talks now (voiced by Gunner Wright). This game has a lot of action, but when you’re walking through blood and Necromorph-splattered corridors, you can’t help but get a little freaked out.įortunately, it’s not too quiet, as the remake team at Motive saw the opportunity to draw you in emotionally. As Glen Schofield, one of the original creators, recently said in a talk, you experience quiet moments where you are alone and waiting for something bad to happen. Scaring you was what the original Dead Space was good at. In environments like this, it’s scary because you can’t see where the enemies are coming from. I paused for a second in a room that was filling up with decontamination smoke. In fact, the graphics almost look too pretty, as you’re looking at the hero Isaac floating in zero gravity with lots of tiny debris bouncing and spinning around you and lighting and shadows producing crazy effects. The effects that EA’s Frostbite engine can produce are pretty dazzling. Floating and maneuvering in zero gravity. You have no loading screens, though you have to wait for giant mechanical doors to open a lot. And I really did feel like I was sucked into the game because of the one-shot immersion the devs emphasized. I do remember that its 3D motion made me seasick. It’s definitely hard to remember what the original Dead Space was like, as I was a child at the time. This game is a lot more satisfying than the original because everything is better.
While it’s fashionable to say five years is a long time to wait in some circles for a remake, EA did the right thing in taking its time on this one. And why wouldn’t they as this is a properly aged remake, coming 15 years after the original game. The graphics in this experience look pretty amazing. Hunkered down with a giant gaming PC in a dark room, I couldn’t help but feel immersed in the experience.
