The sequels are rarely talked about in the same breath, and if they are, it’s fans wishing they were more like what came before. It’s a misguided belief, and our continued love for the first Dead Space is proof of that. EA has and will always be a ‘bigger is better’ company that ups the ante whenever possible, believing it will naturally result in bigger audiences and bigger profits. They will have a much harder time in a remake’s spotlight, primarily because they tend to forget the original game’s greatest strengths to opt for something far more bombastic. Now we wait for the sequels to resurface. Few games are able to achieve this sort of thing when it comes to being remade and not be subject to archaic shortcomings, but Isaac Clarke and his trusty plasma cutter more than deliver. While much of the level design and combat mechanics remain identical, the entire package has been imbued with a modern sheen and tighter execution that makes it feel like not a day has passed since 2008. Critics ( including myself) showered it with praise for bringing back the survival horror classic with equal parts authenticity and ambition. EA and Motive’s Dead Space remake is a resounding success.
