Dead Space Review - IGN

Dead Space is a superb remake and undoubtedly the definitive way to experience one of the best survival horror shooters that Capcom never made.

Nice! Tomorrow I'll be picking up my free copy along with my free copy of Forspoken.

Aloymetal853d ago (Edited 853d ago )

I have it downloaded already and in case you were wondering the size for PS5 DS remake is 31.14gb. May increase if they release a day 1 patch tho.

Elda853d ago

Thanks. 31 gb isn't bad. I have a remaining 300gb of space on my PS5.

Hofstaderman852d ago

Believe it or not I’ve never played this game ever. Watched my bro play the opening segment when they dock with the big ship and that’s it. May give this a go as he always raved about dead space 1.

''Believe it or not I’ve never played this game ever.''
How dare you! No, but seriously do yourself a favor and play it because you're missing out. It's a great game and DS2 as well. DS franchise is like the Alien and Godfather movies, the 1st one is a classic and the second one is just amazing.

Elda852d ago

Yes. Both copies I'm picking up at Gamestop & I don't have to pay any out of pocket cash. Just months of in store credit from past transactions,trade ins,store credit & coupons for being a Gamestop member.

ps360s852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

You sound alot like a Gamestop marketing guy 😅

"Yes. Both copies I'm picking up at Gamestop & I don't have to pay any out of pocket cash. Just months of in store credit from past transactions,trade ins,store credit & coupons for being a Gamestop member."

Elda852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

Not at all. I'm a gamer that spends a lot of money on my favorite hobby. I've been a member at Gamestop for years now & the employees know me & treat me fab. With all the transactions of things that I've bought throughout the years & months my benefits as a member works for me & that's why I'm getting Forspoken & Dead Space tomorrow for free. Folks downvoting my truth must be hating...lol. Become a Gamestop member..spend money like I do instead of waiting months for a price drop & one can reap those rewards as well.

HeliosHex852d ago

@elda. Technically your not getting it free. You traded in a product you bought with cash got less money back for it, and did this enough times to get these games without having to pay again because you already paid for some previous game you got sick of. So in reality you traded the game you originally paid for in an effort to get this one. The money is the same only the product has changed. But in a sense you paid more actually because in order to get these two games you had to have traded in at least four fairly new games which you paid 60 for and got back maybe 30 to 40 dollars. Which means in reality you paid more for these games than everyone else lol.

Elda852d ago

It doesn't matter how I did it. I have so much credit from previous months & months of transactions which I've earned from buying many games,,peripherals,among other things for myself,family & friends. Some are trade-ins as well. I'm always spending money at Gamestop so I earn many points. As a member, I've reaped the rewards & now I will get 2 $70 games for free & with all the credit/points I've earned I will get a few more upcoming new titles for free. One can't do that at any other store that sells video games unless they're doing the same protocol as Gamestop.

Traecy852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

If they don't have to pay for those games out of pocket then it's basically free. I'm a member of Gamestop as well & I've gotten games with coupons,store credit & points too.

HeliosHex852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

@elda. No offense but you and Traecy really do sound like gamestop employees. But its good your happy about your coupons and stuff. Enjoy it before gamestop goes the way of the dinosaur completely.

Elda852d ago

Whatever I sound like...I'm getting 2 games for free & more are incoming because of my membership with GameStop & that's something I'm happy about. Gamestop isn't going anywhere no time soon. Happy gaming!!

HeliosHex852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

@elda. Lol your energy is strong. Enjoy your "free" games.

Yui_Suzumiya852d ago

You're getting down votes because people are jealous. Can't think of any other reason for it, lol

Finally, a good non-NFS game from EA in a while ....
keep these single-player coming, EA .... keep 'em coming

Tex4242853d ago

Hopefully they didn't project some stupid 50 million sold figures. I hope it renews interest and does enough to make EA remake 2 or just go straight to 4. Either way, I'd love Deadspace to continue.

zaanan853d ago (Edited 853d ago )

“thankfully Isaac is considerably more nimble than he used to be”
“manually steer Isaac through space, as opposed to beaming him in rigid straight lines from surface to surface”

Am I the only one who loved the movement in the original? It really felt like I was in a big heavy space-mining suit, not some fancypants flyboy. The revamped asteroid section sounds good tho, I hated that one.

Xenial853d ago

I agree with you. However, it sounds like it's been updated more closely to the Zero Gravity functions as DS2/DS3 - which were both good as well!

zaanan852d ago

ZeroG in 2 was good and made sense to be improved from 1, since time had passed and he had a new suit. So you lose that sense of time/story progression by retrofitting it into 1.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken152d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95152d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn152d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb152d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2152d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno152d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex151d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69400d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga400d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw399d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree399d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake400d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC400d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay399d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman399d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman399d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
