Who knew the spiritual successor to Dead Space was Dead Space.

Something to keep in mind regarding Isaac's characterisation: While he didn't speak in the original, the mission objectives in your log were actually written from his perspective, and they did provide a window into what he was thinking throughout the events of the game (namely, that he was flat-out terrified).

14:15 Isaac turning his head to face the slasher right behind him is actually a pretty genius way to warn the player of off camera threats.

7:46 I found the Ishimura to be such a beautiful concept and notion. The idea of humanity tearing and cracking open dead worlds to feast on the ore inside? Sublime.
@BritBox777 1 year ago

I never considered the horror of what the Ishimura actually IS, being a planet cracking machine, but you're dead on about that. The concept alone is scarier than I gave it credit for.

Round of applause for EA Motive, they did great work for this remake.

Having never played the original, I always felt like I had missed the boat a bit, even with the discourse surrounding 2 and 3, but I definitely wasn't into that type of game 10+ years ago. That said, things have changed and I am SUPER stoked to finally play this gem. I'm glad my impulse buy last night is solidified by this review. Lights out, headphones on!

I am absolutely in love playing this. It feels entirely familiar and yet completely brand new all at the same time. Loving all of the newly added areas to explore and how unpredictable the enemies are when you head back through spaces you’ve already cleared to find locked doors with the new security clearance system. The audio is chiefs kiss

Imagine being a callisto protocol dev who worked on the orginal dead space right now. 💀
@enjoshi-godrez8775 1 year ago

This gotta sting for the callisto protocol team with their game getting absolutely bodied by the critics (rightfully so), and now the remaster of their own game getting universal acclaim.

I think Isaac talking is a huge improvement. I've never felt silent protagonists work quite well when it's not a self insert. For something like DS or Pokemon or whatever its fine. But Isaac has his own goals and mind, having him be voiced makes more sense. I get it, the first game has its own identity separate from 2, large in part to Isaacs silence echoed further by the silence and loneliness of the Ishimura itself. But for the sake of story and creating a character. His voice is a huge improvement.

100% agree this game is already blowing my mind 1 hour in. Interestingly enough, dead space 2008 was the survival horror that got me into this genre. Never before had i given it a chance. I'm glad I did because this has become one of my favorite genres ever.

The decrease in uploads on this channel have really left a dead space in my heart recently. It's good to finally have you back Austin and the guy who does the voice over too.
@simonphoenix3789 1 year ago

its genuinely nice to see an anticipated game do well. This seems like such a rare thing nowadays. Every game I hope will succeed ends up being badly flawed or mediocre, and I'm glad this isn't one of those.

Total War Warhammer 3 has a similar start up, when you press play in steam the launcher opens with "Play" which is normal or "Continue campaign" which takes you straight to your latest save. It's a small thing but it's nice to have
@7white7 1 year ago

@SkillUp 'This being one of the few games in the genre capable of converting players into the Horror Survival genre', is such a true sentiment! It's 100% exactly the case for me; this game (the original, technically) was the very game that converted me to the genre. I loved it so much, I literally binged through both 1 and 2 in the same game session. It might have been the very first game that I'd ever done that with.

If you followed the diary of the development of this game, you could see how passionate the devs were about this project.
@meridianultra9223 1 year ago

As someone who never played the original, this looks so cool
@Luckysquirrel1256 1 year ago

Darksiders 2 actually pulled off that loading into game trick all the way back in 2012. The main menu would be wherever you last saved and as soon as you hit continue you were playing.
