It is designed around gameplay conventions that are still standard practice today, and so the original still holds up well, outside of some mildly-dated presentation.

Dead Space is only 10 years old, is an HD game that still looks fine. This is a remake that does not need to exist. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you right up front: I'm coming into this review with a negative bias.

'Shoot the glowy weak spot' boss fightsĪn unnecessary remake full of lateral 'upgrades'.

Doesn't substantially change or improve on the original.

Asteroid-shooting mini-game is completely redesigned.

Finding Nicole is given more ludo-narrative weight.

Gave me an excuse to play Dead Space again?.

Unsure if was because of what I did or just a random bug.

Thanks to all that have helped though! :)ĮDIT OF THE EDIT: I ran into a problem involving a door and me not getting through it. In case someone else has the problem hit me up and I'll explain it all. I just copied a few files and changed some. TL DR Can't change the language, tried changing 'settings.txt' but game didn't care. I really don't know what to do so I hope you can help me. So I go the 'settings.txt' and add the line 'locale = en', but the Game just casually overwrites that and prompts me with a choice between French and German. Now I speak German quite good, but I really really really don't like the German voice acting, so I wanted to change it to English. Anyways, I was trying to play Dead Space and it turns out it's German and French only. I have a problem with Origin and since I'm not sure where to post it (here or /r/deadspace) I shall do both.
