Dead Space 3 is undoubtedly the black sheep of the franchise, but a remake that takes notes from Resident Evil 4 could be a major improvement.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Those that made it onto the Shortlist below are each special in their own way. Alan Wake 2, a long time in the making, dazzled players with its cutting-edge graphics and brilliant narrative. Baldur's Gate III wowed critics and consumers alike with an amazing cast of characters and dizzying gameplay freedom. Final Fantasy XVI impressed with its beautiful cut-scenes and fresh take on action combat. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a game under the shadow of impossibly high expectations, invigorated its audience with endless opportunities for experimentation. And Resident Evil 4 riffed on an 18-year-old formula, in some instances improving on one of the best games of all time."
Give me some exact reasons why it is overrated. I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours first.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "As the average game script balloons in dialogue there's greater demand for marquee acting talent. And as illustrated by both good & poor examples from 2023, sympathizing with a protagonist's struggle greatly relies on both the writing and delivery. This is emphasized in two unique ways by this year's shortlist: the addition of a voice fundamentally altering Dead Space remake's story beats & the dual protagonist structure in Alan Wake II. A fumble in either of those respects would've resulted in lesser works; fortunately, they're among some of the year's most celebrated titles."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "2023 was a notable year for VR hardware, with both Sony's PSVR2 and Meta's Meta Quest 3 arriving on the scene. Both of them have primarily earned a considerable amount of praise for their technological advancements, but that's not to say their software output was extinct. Granted, early adoption tends to favor older ports with improved visuals and new controller/headset gimmicks; it comes with the territory. But within that flow of ports and updates came an exclusive for each respective platform reaching our shortlist. It's too early to tell if that presages a bountiful surplus of future masterclass VR games, but it's a welcoming sign all the same."
“Horizon Call of the Mountain” had more bells and whistles and has some wow moments for VR newbies. But I had more fun playing “Synapse”.
The only way you can fix DS3 is if you told a completely different story meaning no over the top whacky plot with the giant moon, no over the top action with mostly human enemies and no co-op
This is why I’m banking on the remake so they’ll use these games as a way to change the awful direction the original trilogy took
I actually was bored with the game after awhile. It was (at least to me) not scary or suspenseful. A lot of predictability, enter X room and get attacked as soon as the music and sound effects kick in.
Making something new or a complete reimagining of the series would be nice. I liked the ship atmosphere, it had the vibe of, “Event Horizon “ with some “Aliens” thrown in for good measure.
Just tired of all the remakes
Rather have DS2
It makes sense to recreate great games. Dead Space 3?..Is something barely anyone ever called great. #nuffsaid
Why remake the worst game?
I'd prefere dead space 2
