Many of us were surprised when this became known dead space There will be a remake. It was in 2013 when the last installment of the series came to us, and many thought that if we would see the franchise again, it would be with a reboot or Dead space 4. Thus, The developers tell us how they decided to remake.
We recently had the chance to chat with some EA Motive representatives about the game, which launches in January 2023. So we didn’t miss the opportunity to ask: Why a remake and not a new game? Here’s what they told us:
“When we were finishing up our previous project, Star Wars: Squadrons, we were trying to figure out what we should do with the team we had at Motive. We looked at what we had, different people who had worked on the original Dead Space. Counted the members, and they all shouted ‘dead space, dead space’ and presented it to our VPs and they agreed.
There was talk of doing a remake or a remaster, but at the end of the day we decided to do a remake because it’s a great game. We all have a nostalgic reception and the goal was to figure out how to stay true to that nostalgia. You can enjoy the game today, but it’s not exactly how you remember it, you imagine it more, and we try to stay true to the fantasy that fans remember.”
its remake dead space It’s PS5, Xbox Series X | S and will arrive on PC on January 27, 2023. On a related note, you can check out our preview of the title here. Likewise, the developers let us know about the great innovations of this installment.
Editor’s note:
Although I would have loved to see a new installment as well, the idea of a remake makes a lot of sense. Almost 10 years on, we not only have to honor the memory of our game, but we also have to introduce the series to a whole new audience.
