Space is the subject of fascination for many people. Anything could be out there, it’s the next step for civilization, the great beyond, the final frontier. As far as science is concerned the universe outside of earth is silent. No life, no organisms, just, nothing, and that’s scary. Staring into space is staring into the void. A vast emptiness that, while filled with stars, lacks so much density that they may as well be infinitely out of reach. Maybe it’s comforting knowing that beyond our atmosphere is nothing. But fear is born from what we don’t know, and if there is one thing I can be certain of when it comes to the cosmos, it’s that there's something out there, and that’s terrifying. Dead Space, an ironic title for a game where the greatest threat is life itself, released initially in 2008, was developed by Redwood Shores, published by EA, and stars Isaac Clark. The year is 2058, and earth is nearly uninhabitable. Isaac, on one of many ships sent to mine other planets for resources, has to make a pitstop on one of their larger models due to a distress signal. Fine by him, he’ll get to reunite with his girlfriend Nicole. Clark is an engineer, not trained for combat and his suit, pristine in its minimal copper glory, presumably hasn’t seen bloodshed before. That changes remarkably fast. But, we’ve been here before haven’t we?
Dead Space was remade in 2023 and with it came some significant changes such as Isaac having a voice, the backtracking being cut down and said backtracking being more dynamic, and of course, there has been an intense graphical overhaul. I’ll be looking at the remake purely because I believe it is the best way to experience the game, and hey, it’s even free on Playstation Plus. This game looks gorgeous, but not really. I mean, yea the lighting is nice, texture work is superb, but, the place is a dump, and I appreciate what they were going for. No wall is without a cry for help haphazardly scrawled across it, no room without blood splattered across the floor, and there are many points where these decorations add to the fear. Enemies often come out of vents in the early game, and said vents all look the same, they even have convenient yellow paint on them, assumedly so the staff of the aegis know what they're supposed to interact with. But you might notice that these vents are everywhere, sometimes with accompanied blood, and sometimes with their cover completely torn off.
Dead Space was released originally in 2008, but the Dead Space remake was released in 2023, and that what will be covered today. An old Dead Space review doesn't make much sense as a Dead Space remake review, because Dead Space 2023 is by far the best way to experience the game. This Dead Space retrospective, Dead Space analysis, and Dead Space critique, will look at Dead Space years later to see if it still holds up, and see if the Dead Space remake VS original is better, which, spoilers; it is better. This will also lightly explain the Dead Space story, and of course the Dead Space twist that has plagued every Dead Space fun facts video of the last decade. This video will be light on story, but it's because, ultimately, the goal is to explain why I called Dead Space perfect horror, and why it's the best horror game I ever played. If this video does well I may consider doing Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, to see where the story takes Isaac Clarke.
