this is the most unnecessary remake of all time. dead space still looks gorgeous today!

 

It's a tie between this and the The Last Of Us remake they're currently doing.

Looks like they really know what they're doing. 

Some info in tweets:

Well, I thought so too at first but Jason Schreier explained why it makes perfect sense for Naughty Dog. Apparently tons of people in the studio have nothing to do while a new game is in pre-production, so having them work on a remake while learning the ins and outs of the PS5 at the same time seems like a good idea. That and the HBO series is gonna be massive.

As for Dead Space, they don't seem to be going for a 1:1 remake and if this thing is a hit (and The Callisto Protocol as well) we might see a new game further down the line. They do seem to have a very passionate team over at Motive.

[Tomdominer]

Exactly. They get to develope a new art pipeline. Build an engine optimised for the PS5. Loads of benefits.

This was exactly my reaction.  I’m excited, but already worried about how scary this is going to be just from that gif!

My reaction was as simple as NOPE!! 

 

Don't think I have the balls to play this again looking like that. 

[Yuujiin]

Can't wait. If they get this right with modern lighting techniques and 3D Audio this is going to be fantastic.

 

Please Sega can we have a next gen update of Alien Isolation.

[Captain Kelsten]

I played through the original recently in hype for this remake and it's still great, although Isaac moves like a Resident Evil character! He's so slow and clunky, I hope they improve that for the remake without taking away the suspense.

[Vemsie]

This is coming along nicely. They're putting in a lot of effort it seems. Really liking these dev streams. They also confirm that they're aiming for a release early next year.

Confirms what Jeff Grubb doing his day job reported earlier, they originally planned it for Octo ber 2022, but delayed it to polish it, because we all know how vocal people feel about unpolished games without nice visuals.

Been announced the game will launch 27th January 2023, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC

The latest dev stream is well worth a look. The lighting looks fantastic.

Is it just me who prefers the original in this picture? The mist and no doubt flickering lights might look nice and all that, but I like how simple, functional and brutalist industrial the original looks.

 

But, more importantly, and my main issue: the health bar as part of the character idea works superbly in the original character model. On the new one it's like they've forgotten what the point of it being so clear and obvious was. (To cut down on HUD elements but still have them clearly visible and part of the in-game elements)

[moosegrinder]

I agree with point 2 but I think the new one looks the absolute dogs danglies and is the reason I stopped my replay of the original. For a game that's 15 years old they don't need to update the movement or base gameplay much. If it comes through with a massive atmospheric overhaul but basically the same I'll still be happy.

[Ferine]

I don't know where that image is from, but in the footage I've seen his spine is still lit up like a Christmas tree.

 

As for visual changes, I think the original can look very flat by modern standards. It comes from a time before physically-based materials meaning there's a uniform, cardboard-like look to what are predominantly dull metal environments. So yes, the remake will look vastly different, but the actual architecture and visual design seems very faithful.

 

In fact it's actually a bit too faithful for me, as I've never been a fan of Dead Space's monster design. I was hoping they might dial things back a bit, lean into their unsettling human origins a bit more, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[Captain Kelsten]

Well I think it looks bloody incredible and it comes out on my birthday, so even better. 

[df0]

Going in as blind as possible. No screenshots, dev interviews and trailers for me. Played the original to death, I want this remake to surprise me.

[Vemsie]

The remake is still very WIP, but the much more dynamic lighting alone is a massive improvement over the original and much more atmopsheric. The fully interactive fog/smoke is very cool as well, Returnal did the same.

New screenshots.

 

 

Quote

"We're also actually creating the entire game as one sequential shot," says Philippe. "From the moment you start the game to the moment you end the game, there are no camera cuts or load screens-unless you die.
 

The Ishimura is now fully interconnected, so you can walk from Point A to Point Z visit theentire ship, and revisit locations you've already completed to pick up things you might have missed-that's all new. It's now a completely unbroken experience”.

 

[Jamie John]

Looks pretty damn good. I like the one-shot thing, too. God of War did that and I was surprised by how much it benefitted the game.

[Captain Kelsten]

HOOOLEEEEEEEEE SHIIIIITTTTEEEEE

 

Looks great. Can't wait. 

[Lying Cat]

Dead Space really does hold a very special place in my heart. I picked it up because I like Space and I like Horror, but I never for a second suspected it was going to actually be any good. "Lol" I said, saying the words, not actually lolling, "EA have done a Resident Evil rip off - I can't wait to reward them by paying full price in Game for it so I can see how crap it really is".

But it wasn't crap. It was really fuckin' great.

[Colonel Panic]

I’m playing through the original again at the moment and it 100% stands up in 2022 as a great game. 
 

The remake… Well, I’m still gonna get that and play through all over again, especially if it offers new gameplay features!

[Len]

Really looking forward to this and I never usually play remakes as can never see the point but this looks fantastic. And it was ages ago so can't remember most of it tbh.

I honestly didn't even realise that GoW was in one shot when I played it.

Yep. It's pretty cool, I think. Makes the whole thing more immersive. Other games did it first (HL2 springs to mind), but I think it works especially well in GoW. Hopefully they do it in Ragnarok, too.

It works so well he didn't even notice?

[simms]

Will the lighting use ray tracing?

We are getting gameplay today at 4pm UK time (tweet is from yesterday):
