Extended Dead Space Gameplay Walkthrough Runs Down The Remake’s New Features

To celebrate Dead Space’s 14th anniversary, Motive Studio held a special livestream showcasing its upcoming remake of the game. A guided walkthrough of the gameplay was shown, as well as an overview of new features that will make this game even more frightening.

The video’s side-by-side comparisons illustrate the major differences between the original and the remake. A major change in the Ishimura’s design is that it is now an interconnected, seamless ship which players have more freedom to explore. For example, using Isaac’s rocket thrusters to soar through areas you could only walk through before. A new system called the Intensity Spawn Director remixes necromorph spawn points, ensuring they’ll ambush veteran players in unexpected ways and, sometimes, in greater numbers. Dead Space features new side quests to flesh out supporting characters, improved necromorph dismemberment and new alternative fire modes for weapons.
