I would also understand the desire to go back and take another stab at more recent games which are really good, but which may have been virtually unplayable due to technical problems. I get the desire to remake or re-imagine older games that actually are dated, like Resident Evil 2 or Final Fantasy VII, which were both completely redesigned with modern gameplay conventions and (in especially in the case of Final Fantasy VII) bold new creative and narrative decisions. It is designed around gameplay conventions that are still standard practice today, and so the original still holds up well, outside of some mildly-dated presentation. Dead Space is only 10 years old, is an HD game that still looks fine. This is a remake that does not need to exist.
I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you right up front: I'm coming into this review with a negative bias.

Gave me an excuse to play Dead Space again?. Dead Space Remake launches this month on January 27, 2023, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For those who have never played this all-time classic, and you have a PC with Steam, this pre-order incentive is well worth it. The writing was also noteworthy as it continued from the first putting Isaac Clark on the Sprawl, a space station that becomes infected by the necromorphs. In some instances, depending on who you ask, it was the superior product, as the gameplay had been refined to near perfection. The free game, Dead Space 2, as we already mentioned, was one of the best horror titles of the 2010s. The remake of course is a complete rebuild of the original 2008 release, complete with new bells and whistles for the modern generation of hardware, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. There also doesn’t appear to be any notion that EA will bring this offer to the home console market, which in an of itself would be a very arduous task as the game is only backward compatible on the Xbox family console line. While you can also pre-order the game through the Epic Games Store, it’s important to remind everyone that this offer appears to only be valid for the Steam purchase. When the remake of the original Dead Space drops soon, fans who opt for the Steam version will be treated to a free copy of the 2011 sequel.
