Dead Space remake 18-minute long gameplay

The long-awaited Dead Space remake received a new gameplay video. This time, the content showcases 18 minutes of the renovated game, and despite the familiarity with the original product, the visuals are different compared to the 2008 classic. 

Published on YouTube by IGN, the video focuses on the first moments of the game when engineer Isaac and other crew members are on a ship and crash into the USG Ishimura. You can still see the intimidating setting of the remake and the clash against the first monsters. Details for the visceral brutality of the enemies against our co-workers.

According to EA, the Dead Space remake is a love letter to longtime fans of the franchise. The title is being developed on the Frostbite engine and will feature an improved story, characters, and gameplay mechanics. Isaac Clarke is an ordinary engineer tasked with fixing a huge mining ship, the USG Ishimura. However, he soon sees that something is terribly wrong. The crew is massacred, and Isaac's beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on the ship.

Now alone, armed only with his tools and engineering skills, Isaac rushes to unravel the horrifying mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura, hoping to find Nicole. Trapped with hostile creatures called necromorphs, Isaac enters a battle for survival, not only against the horrors that surround him but also against the loss of his own sanity.

Although titled as a remake, this version is considered a reimagining of the Dead Space 2008 version. EA informed through a press release that the modern Dead Space will have new features concerning the first. Among those will be new narrative elements during the campaign, the peeling system detailing the destroyed parts of necromorphs, and a seamless USG Ishimura interconnected devoid of loading screens.

The Dead Space remake releases on January 23, shortly after its notorious spiritual successor launch, The Callisto Protocol. Players can check out our comparator for the best deals on Dead Space and get ready to tackle jumpscares and horrifying atmospheres.
