Dead Space Remake: Isaac is back, in Pog form!

[James Lyon]

Hoping for a relatively quick Game Pass release via EA's own service. I don't see it taking too long myself.

[Uncle Nasty]

Looks a bit sterile somehow, not very lived in or convincing.

[El Spatula]

Well somebody needs to go to Specsavers.

Slightly disappointed to hear they have voiced Isaac now. In the first one he was an enigma, you had to wonder what he was thinking or would say.

The second one cleared that up - he just shouted 'HOLY FUCKING SHIT' a lot. Which, to be far, I probably would too, but it's not exactly sparkling dialogue.

 

In DS1, there was something delightfully sinister almost about how this man would stoically face these eldritch horrors without a word. Added to the creepiness!

[Mr Do 71]

You never know, there might be an option to turn off his voice to original settings.

[Benny]

I would definitely prefer the full Gordon Freeman effect. Which was the style at the time.

Sounds about right for the level of greebliness and fancy lighting.

Still something about the old look I prefer (probably the all-too familiar look of someone who has already had too many sleepness nights even pre-Ishi), morph turns them into John Everyman from such games as all of them.

Looks like the review embargo lifts on Thursday afternoon for us, for anyone interested.

I clicked play on that gif far too many times.

 

And yes, I'm interested, but £40-50 to drop on an 8 hour single-player game feels a bit much, especially when it'll (eventually) be EA Play-bound. I'll wait to see how well-optimised the PC version is and if you can run it in full shiny mode without melting anything.

My PS5 copy has shipped. I reckon it will be a one and done so keep an eye on the trading folder come Monday ish I reckon.

Added cash to the account, all I need this to be is like the original and it’s bought. Can’t believe I look forward to a game I know inside out.

Just sign up to EA Play Pro for a month for £15 and play it on launch day

On PS store at least subbing to EA for a month also reduced the purchase price of the game by more than the month sub

I'm just going to wait until it's on EA Gamepass Ultimate. Going to be a hard wait. But have a massive backlog anyway.

Hot damn. I didn't realise you could do that. What a good idea.

When are the reviews due?

4pm today, can see the countdown here

[Kevvy Metal]

Dead Space is one of my favourite games ever. So, hard bought PS5 disc version, will keep forever don't need no reviews LET'S GO!

[Fargo]

Never played much of the original so this will seem like a totally new game. Can’t wait! 

[JoeK]

I do hope this is good and that if it is successful we might get a chance to do the second one. 

 

And then do a complete new DS3 because the third one was pretty awful.

[Strafe]

I’ll wait until 4pm until opening for the review embargo just in case.

[df0]

You know, I dislike the second more than it deserves. When I think of 1 I've fond memories of everything, when I think of 2 I almost literally can not remember anything but 1) the ludicrous amount of big combat zones 2) that place and 3) "there's more of em".

 

And I really dislike 1 and 3, it close to ruined the game for me. 1 because it felt like a lame attempt to become more action-y, 3 because it's a lame attempt to expand the story/lore/universe.

You know, I actually like that cover. Nothing beats the original but this one is not bad.

The white PS5 header on the case really works against the blacks of the main artwork.

2 = 2

3 = 3

4 = 4

5 = 5

6 = 6

7 = 7

Good enough for me, pre-ordered.

If pushed I would definitely give it one of those scores.
