New Features
| Everything New in the Dead Space Remake | |
|---|---|
| No Camera Cuts or Loading Screens | According to a senior producer, Philippe Ducharme, the game will be a one sequential shot. There will be no camera cuts or loading screens unless you die.You can now explore the entire ship and revisit locations from the start of the game. |
| Visual & Sound Improvements | Motive Studio will enhance the game's atmosphere through new weapon audio, high-resolution models, dynamic lighting, and improved animations.The developers also included a new mechanic in which players can shoot off the necromorphs layers of flesh. |
| Security Clearance | There will be locked doors in the halls of the USG Ishimura that can only be accessed with a security clearance that gets upgraded as the story progresses. |
| New Zero Gravity Mechanics | Players can now move freely in all directions with new booster packs built into Isaac's space suit, rather than hop from surface to surface. |
While the Dead Space remake will not alter the sequence of events of the original, it will surely include a variety of improvements, such as discovering new secret areas, backtracking to a specific location, or finally having the freedom to explore the whole airship.
We believe that these new features will drastically improve the immersive yet familiar experience of the game compared to the original 2008 version. Both new players and fans of the series can enjoy the gore and psychological horror awaiting within the confines of the USG Ishimura.
We can't wait to discover what treasures lie hidden behind closed doors as we can now explore the USG Ishimura further. Although backtracking on certain areas might mean fighting against the horrifying enemies again, so hopefully the rewards justify the ammo spent on the trip back.
Will the Dead Space Remake Have Microtransactions?
No Microtransactions in the Dead Space Remake
Motive Studios, senior producer Phil Ducharme stated that they would not add microtransactions to the game.
Pay-to-win games tend to skew their game mechanics toward paying players, which can be unfair to others who do not have the resources to do the same.
It will be a huge relief that there won’t be any parasitic microtransactions ruining the feel of this iconic classic horror game.
