Looking forward to a Dead Space 2 remake, and a complete rework for Dead Space 3.
Fuck now I want to play it
One of the best openings in the world of gaming
It looks insane in 4k on pc
Both of the originals were solid. I was at first going to say dead space 2 was the peak for the franchise but the last portion of the first game was so good especially when you go planetside .
The engine was very well made too, it ran like butter on hardware that came before the game.
~~Not like nowadays.~~
Your front would light up in the dark due to the helmet lights.
Nowadays you need ray tracing for basic shit.
After the 10/10 Dead Space 1 remake, I’m beyond excited for that team to tackle Dead Space 2.
I like it but still think it’s too action blockbuster, and far from scary.
One of my all time favorites. If they remake this I’ll plat it again and again.
If you think it’s surprising that a “12 year old game” “holds up” then you may not understand anything about art in general or game quality in particular.
Most gamers don’t understand artistry, they only understand technology, therefore anything *new* is inherently ‘good’ and anything old is inherently bad or expected to be bad. But this is obviously false since we know that terrible or mediocre worthless games are made today in 2023, while some excellent games were made 30 years ago.
“I’m so surprised that music from the 1960’s is good” – said no one ever
“Paintings from hundreds of years ago are good?” said no one ever.
“Literature from a thousand years ago is good?” said no one ever.
“An action movie from the 1980’s. Nah, must obviously be worse than MCU lol” – sadly someone out there has probably said this. But you get the idea, if you know about movies.
“I can’t believe this decade-old videogame is good?” says a supposed ‘gamer’ literally every day on the internet.
30 years ago it was just like today: some game designers knew what they were doing and did great work, and some didn’t.
Top class game. To go for a more action orientated feel compared to the original was done just as well as Aliens was to Alien. Top game.
Damn shame the 3rd just missed out on all marks, but that dlc ending was pretty good from what I remember.
scope
I actually had fun with the multiplayer. Was it perfect? No… But i had fun
Dead Space 2 was my favorite Dead Space, just super freaking fun.
I replayed 2 recently after beating the remake and it blew my mind how good 2 still looks. It makes such creative use of light especially in the Church of Unitology and the school, with lots of colorful light pouring through semi-transparent surfaces.
It’s super gorgeous and it makes me really excited for a potential remake. If it gets the same artistic treatment as the first game, it would look *incredible.*
One of the greatest action horror shooters of all time
Had amazing graphics that still hold up to this day and the suits? ohhhhh… *chef’s kiss*
It’s not the Game that’s holding up, it’s the studios that have stopped giving a fuck about making good games. Graphics had mostly peaked back then, there hasn’t been a lot of improvement since then. It had good gameplay and engaging story, which I can’t say for most modern games. These days they just don’t care about that, it’s all about profits, online stores, game passes and keeping a large number of people constantly playing the game so they can milk them for dumb ass cosmetics or even worse P2W gear.
Jesus that is crazy
Still my fav out of the 3
Dead space 2 was the perfect balance for horror and action. My favorite for sure
I finished the Dead Space remake last week and I’m legit considering replaying the second one. If the DS1 remake was that great, I can’t wait for the second one.
FYI, this game runs butter smooth on max settings on the Steam Deck.
The dead space 2 beginning still haunts me at night, what an intro.
Make us whole!
Love the franchise and the remake was just on point !!!!!
Agreed. I played some of it again recently. Meant to finish it (for the second time). This time on Xbox as opposed to PS3.
Fired it up on my steam deck recently. Forgot how amazing that opening section is where you’re stuck in the straight jacket
Dead space 4 !!!!!!
Such a masterpiece
Watched my older brother play it when I was young. Scared me shitless.
it’s called art design
I loved the original Dead Space and have 2 and 3 in my library. I really need to get around to playing them.
I really want them to come out with another sequel so good and creepy. Best space horror game imo
Already 12 years old???
Cant wait for this series to get a remaster for the current gen consoles!
