Community ManagerIt is hard to explain sometimes that you cannot have all the lights on, sound off etc. Like Amnesia, you need the sound on, and you need the lights off. Dead Space hit it big in the original because it had those crazy jump scares and you had no idea where it was coming from for a few seconds and then you slightly panicked and tried to blast off limbs but your plasma cutter was not turned the right way so it took you longer to kill them.
The combat was nice for myself. I was used to playing more action(ish) type games where you just run around smashing and shooting everything. Going from that to this was odd at first but then you couldn't stop playing it.
I know what you mean about the lights off bit, like even in chapter one when changing/ shutting down circuit breakers. At very first I didn't like it either, I mean, literally could see next to nothing!
But I'm old (in my 50s) so quickly adapted to it.
I believe the jump scares, but especially leaving you "blind," doesn't really happen in 2023. People playing it for the first time, or someone in their 20s that may be fine, but it could be off putting and take a while to get used to that kind of thing.
It's interesting because just as much, or more, as tech has changed from 2008 to now, so have these "small," things. Seeing as Deadspace 2008 is still very viable graphically 15 years later, the way the game proceeds - sorry can't explain - but I haven't played a modern game that uses these kind of technics and more. Times change.
I have no preference, and am quite happy to move with the times. Mmmm...come to think of it if I didn't move with the times there would be nothing to play! I'd have to replay my games from that era,.
Forgot, it's not a sudden change, and I had never noticed it. But when the same game is properly remastered and doesn't cater to the "modern methods, " what ever that means, ha,. It becomes
clear. Interesting,
I recently replayed the original to hype myself up for the remake and was pleasantly surprised how well it held up. That said, I'm glad the team took the time to make some quality of life changes based on feedback.
Crazy to think of certain technical limitations they were able to work around then
