Motive showcased new gameplay to highlight some of the audio changes it’s made in the remake so far, specifically regarding the famed Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle weapons. Motive seems to have taken the suggestions and feedback of other fans and modified the weapon sounds during the stream. 

Motive has made the Plasma Cutter, and Pulse Rifle more powerful. As can be seen in the tweet above. They sound deeper and focussed than they did during March Livestream. Listen to these sounds in Dead Space. You can hear how they sound during March’s stream and now. video, and the changes are quite stark for those tuned into the remake’s audio. 

Of course, these changes aren’t final, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Motive listens to feedback on the new audio to modify the weapon sounds further. The next time we’ll see more of this Dead Space remake will be during a special stream next month, focused on its visuals.
