Thank you for watching! - Hry
I've been replaying it again recently, it's definitely the best Remake of 2023 and the best remake ever!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I second that
Re1 remake is a better remake in every way brah
@@sumstuff6956 Re1 remake was kinda meh imo
@@Raposudo regardless of weather I like the game or not as a remake like o said it’s without equal that’s why it’s the gold standard for remakes I thought re4 remake shits all over the original aswell but I’m a survival horror fan who hated the original re4 the remake actually nails action horror like dead space unlike og re4 which was just an action game
Heres to more remakes of the games we love!
Well said sir!
I’m currently on my fourth playthrough of the remake. I did 3 playthroughs back-to-back when it first came out. The first one I played on medium, the second on hard, and lastly I did the Impossible difficultly. By the time I did the third playthrough I felt like a boss and did it in one go.
Now I’m replaying it, nearly a year later, just for fun. I love this game, and reaaaally hope they redo 2 and 3!
Same man. It was one of the best games I played in 2023.
Its a very fun experience indeed 👍 thanks for checking out the video!
I should DEFINITELY get around to playing this game. When I get the time I’ll probably check it out, as well as the originals. Hopefully, we get a remake of the second game, and that Dead Space Mobile game that leads into 2. It would also be interesting to see what they’d do with 3, if they ever remake that. If they do remake 3 I’m assuming they’d either do the original vision where you’d have Shadow Isaac, or try to salvage the retail game by changing up the story and gameplay. If they do the human enemies should be kept in since they were instrumental to 3, but need a HEAVY rework. MandaloreGaming was saying that the big problem with them was that they didn’t understand what made those mechanics from other games work, and they were at odds with Dead Space’s core design. He was also saying that in the past there was a reverence around guns, but Dead Space 3 just throws them into action sections that don’t really work. There was also a rock paper scissors set up where Isaac can take out Necromorphs, Necromorphs can take out soldiers, and soldiers can take out Issac (I think there was a part in 2 where you’d open up a door to send Necromorphs at these guys who’d cut you down if you tried to fight them head on). What they should’ve done was make the firearms be LETHAL where you’d need to use cover and stealth to sneak around soldiers, otherwise they’d melt you. In the inverse your weapons can do the same to them.
More on the topic of human enemies, ironically Callisto Protocol would’ve greatly benefited from human enemies. For my crazy idea you’d have human enemies who are prisoners that charge at you like the zombies do that you’d get fight up close, and will also try to dodge and block your swings. You’d also have a mixture of guards armed with the same batons you use, and you’d have to block and parry their attacks. You’d also have some armed guards whose weapons are as dangerous as the guns those robot guards have. Guns would just tare through you, but on the inverse they do the same for other humans. Stealth and using cover would be required to get past armed guards. Human enemies would behave intelligently, while the mutants would just charge at you and be more similar to the Necromorphs where you have to keep your distance so they don’t cut you down. That would’ve added some much needed enemy variety into the game, and since it’s a prison they could’ve explored stuff like gang culture and shown how the human guards were only able to keep everyone in control when the robots and other security systems were still working. I’m not going to talk about what they could’ve done with mutations and different zombie variants because it takes 5 seconds of thought to come up with various ways they could’ve been done better.
It’s a shame that Sony is just remaking/remastering games that aren’t even that old. There’s a long list of games from their catalog that could use a remake or enhanced collection to revitalize the franchises. Sadly, we know from the Insomniac leaks that they don’t intend to bring back Resistance, and it’s safe to assume the same is true for a bunch of other similar games. You’d think they’d be eager to bring back a bunch of their older IPs with the recent Activision Blizzard purchase.
I really appreciate the detailed comment and information here dude, glad you enjoyed the video and sprung some discussions 👌
As for remakes I wanna see 2 and 3 remade in time and I agree about the Sony situation. Tired of remakes of 5 year old games.
I love quarantines on impossible mode
Oh damn I didn't even think about that 😅😅😅
DEAD SPACE 2 REMAKE!!! Don’t mess this up!!! We have high hopes!!!
Absolutely looking forward to seeing 2 and 3 remake personally 👌
I booted up my old PS3 and got the plat for Dead Space 2008 in anticipation for Dead Space 2023, and I got the plat for the remake as well. I've gotta say, this remake is easily one of the best horror games I've ever played, right next to SIGNALIS, Resident Evil 2, Alan Wake II, and also Alien: Isolation, can't forget that one.
This was my personal 'game of the year' for 2023. Everyone goes on and on about how awesome the RE4 remake was, and while I did enjoy that, I liked the Dead Space remake a lot more. I played through RE4 remake twice before I felt bored and lost interest in the game. But I played through the Dead Space remake about a dozen times before I began to felt that same feeling.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it certainly is a fantastic remake and it for sure has a more oppressive constant atmosphere, I love both remakes just personally put in more time with 4 which is shocking as I didn't like the OG 4 much and loved OG dead space haha.
Can't really agree with you about Dino Crisis or Callisto Protocol, but the rest of this is pretty agreeable!
Did you rate Callisto then dude? I personally love Dino Crisis. Dead Space is very good but I would rather play a DC remake haha!
@@VoidRetro I did play and really enjoy Callisto when it released, I think the situation with that game is pretty similar to the kind of thing we're seeing with Konami's recent efforts (as discussed on your Snake Eater remake video) and also the Silent Hill 2 remake, where fans create this narrative on the internet that permeates everyone's consciousness and influences the way they experience a game when it actually comes out. The constant and unending nonsense I heard about Callisto before it came out was just non-stop talk about how it was a "modern take on Dead Space" or "spiritual sequel to Dead Space" when the game actually didn't have much of anything in common with Dead Space besides a few surface level aesthetic things and a few of the development team also having worked on DS. Never was it actually said in any press release or official piece of marketing about the game that it was going to be like Dead Space, it was just what people inferred and automatically thought was true because "the internet said so." After playing the game and realizing it was almost nothing like Dead Space, the reaction from many people was "I paid for a game that someone told me was like Dead Space and it's not, so the game is terrible." I thought it carried an interesting story, had great visuals and a fun/challenging combat system that kept me entertained throughout.
As far as Dino Crisis, I've just always thought the first two games are clunkier, more boring, and less atmospheric versions of Resident Evil that were purely a chore to play through, and I've never held any real positive regard for them, even when they first came out. It was trying to mix RE and Jurassic Park, and I also strongly dislike JP, so maybe that's another factor? Just not my thing :D
This remake in my opinion is new golden standard for remakes. It was built from the ground up but was done with such appreciation to the original that it improved what made the original a great game and gave us all what we wanted in this remake mixed in with mechanics from Dead Space 2 and 3 to give us this beautiful and horrifying game. Initially DS1 scared me as a kid and over time as I grew older certain horror games only scare you once and then that’s about it, but with Dead Space remake the jumpscares that you get from random Necromorphs throughout the ishimura keep you in a elevated sense of dread and fear. Not to mention the random sounds of screams and chunks of flesh making a squishing sloshy sound somewhere in the distance with the metal creaking and pipes bursting at random all kept your finger on the trigger ready to dismember any Necromorph that crossed your path. I played this at midnight with my tv cranked up in dark, I never flinched so much when the jumpscares happen and I can say that the jumpscares are refreshing and since the remake dives more into unitology and the markers the devs really used it to their advantage when crafting the uncertainty of what sounds are being made in the ship and in game it could be easily be assumed by us is that the marker is toying with Issac to drive him insane by making him hear and see things that aren’t actually there
I totally agree.
It's still peak gaming
Indeed 👌
Enjoyed this one mate nicely done
Thank you appreciate your time and comment as always dude, got a few more like this I'll work on over next few months 😀
Great video man! More survival horror games please 🙌🏼
Appreciate it 🙏 and plenty more to come, right now I have my alan wake 2 video up and Hidden Horror series vol 1 with a second coming next week. Enjoy!
How the FUCK do you only have 70 subs? Excellent video, my dude!!
Thank you dude, it means a lot someone said that. Rough day so I appreciate it! 🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I love making these kind of videos but I'm dabbling with others, hopefully you like them.
@@VoidRetro keep on keeping on, man. You've got my sub and I'll be sure to check out whatever you put up. You've got this!
@@clappagemcphee kind words thank you 😊
Dino crisis remoke is such a dope idea! that or the suffering lol
I've never played Suffering is it worth going back to?
But yes Dino Crisis remake would make me sell a leg for 😅
Suffering:ties that bind i liked a little more, but gameplay is amazing, def check it out!
I think dino crisis 3 really screwed the franchise up is why lol
@themush1894 appreciate the recommendation and your time watching the video 👌
Yes I agree haha
Funnily enough, I 100% this game twice over-once on console and once on PC (PC version went on a dirt cheap sale so I picked it up).
My PC could run _most_ of the game comfortably, but chugged a bit on the final boss. For some reason, the environments were hella dark on PC compared to console, even with the brightness turned up. Still didn’t stop me from completing impossible mode with just the plasma cutter (I was trying to see how quickly I could get all of the achievements).
I found that the darker environments made for a much tenser experience as it was harder to keep track of enemies visually-I had to heavily rely on the surround sound simulated by my headphones to avoid getting ganked every fight.
It's GOOOD
Absolutely loved the remake! Played once through and started a New Game+ that I put down awhile back but probably going to pick up again soon. Hoping they create an equally great DS2!
I'm just replaying it now and it is fantastic, the atmosphere is second to none. Thanks for checking out ghe video and yes bring on DS2!
Just played it completely recently since I didn't play the old ones and I have to say I really missed a Masterpiece ... now gonna try the rest in the series
Sometimes you miss absolute classics and the remakes can pull you into it, I'm the same with Silent hill 2 👀
Dead space remake is a great game. It surpasses it's predecessor in every way. Playing ds 2 on zealot right now and I can tell that ds remake took most of it's ideas combat wise even tho ds 2 is more fast paced and focused on stasis
This remake made me go out and buy a ps3 just so i could play deadspace 2 fantastic series i hope 2 gets a remake as well.
Great video bro
Thank you man appreciate it 🙏
Honestly, of the two big remakes of the year, Dead Space was easily the better one (tho REmake4 was a pleasant surprise). It took one of the best horror games of the 2000s, changed the structure to be more open in a fitting way, improved on the story by adding minor details and a few new twists on familiar events, and honestly? Though I played it on PC, I'd happily buy it again on my console because it is THAT good.
I'd dare go so far as to call Dead Space the best remake in video game history. Well, second only to Resident Evil.
I can totally see that as a valid opinion Ben, thank you for the comment. I feel both were amazingly well done in their own rights, glad we got both but it could have been spread out a bit better haha. Our poor wallets. 😢
@@VoidRetro It was Broketober in January and March, baby! Thankfully though I played the Chainsaw demo of REmake4, I held off on buying it and playing it fully until a Steam sale.
dino crisis, i see your a man of culture as well.
A fellow scholar
I’ve replayed the remake so many times I have hundreds of nodes and millions of credits lol I always use the flamethrower and spray down the halls of the Ishimura
Im still waiting for a Left 4 Dead remake.
Yoo that intro music is sick. Drop me a link to the video if you don't mind.
I honestly can't remember other than it was free synthwave stuff
My only problem with the remake is the blood spatering affect looks so low res. And how dim the lights from the visor, health, and stasis bar are. I remember in DS 2, the visors lighting affect would make for some really cool environmental lighting.
Yes the lighting in this game is pretty low compared to the original and 2 looking back, valid point there.
I know it isn’t same as the original but the Remake is still great but if it’s about scariness Original takes the crown.
I think the original had a particular scary tone where as the remake feels more atmospheric and action based.
im hoping the next game isn't a remake.
i think dead space series is better than resident evil
It’s a good game but at the end of the day it’s just a remake so I don’t have any incentive to go back to it because I beat the OG game like 5 times
Voicing Isaac in the remake was absolutely the right move. The original game was really dumb in the way the narrative was presented, as people that were on the radio were telling you what you were seeing around you. Game Sack calls this a "radio buddy" and it's one of the worst trends in modern gaming. Thankfully the remake fixes this. Instead Isaac tells them what he's seeing.
I'm not saying a silent protagonist can never work. But other NPC's need to act like your character is responding to them even if there is no actual voice. Treating him like an automaton that has to be told what's around him is not the right way.
I couldn't agree more with all of statement thanks for commenting 🙂
Honestly, I hated the Remakes to Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. It was so boring, and all the changes made zero sense.
Bold take but your always welcome to your opinion dude
Me watching videos about remakes of video games that I love, knowing damn well that I can't play them with my ancient system.🥲🤝🥰
I feel you there, I went years behind last gens with PS1, 2 and 360 haha, only as an adult did I have PS5 on release. 😅
