Where Is Shader Cache Stored?
Does this game cache stuff to storage for better gameplay like what does building shaders do? I've just installed a Samsung 250GB Evo 970 Pro NMVe drive I was going or plan to use it for Windows, but I wanted to see if this game would run better but it runs worse for some reason I know I know my RX580 8GB isn't supported but I did get it working using FSR 2.0 performance mode
Regional Price for Argentina
Hi there! I'm a Steam user and I would like to bring something to your attention that may have been overlooked. Last year Steam introduced a new region called LATAM which includes many countries in Latin America, including my country, Argentina. Currently, Dead Space seems to have inherited the standard price in the United States since no price was set for our region. Would you please consider setting a price for our region when you get a chance? This would be greatly appreciated by players across Latin America! Kind regards, St3foR
Game breaking bug
I started playing Dead Space remake on Xbox series X. At around chapter 11 after collecting all weapon upgrades and completely filling in all power node slots for all weapons I went to the shop to change weapons. That's when I found out I couldn't. I only had the option to save my weapons in my inventory. I thought oh well I'll play thru till new game+ and that will fix my issue. Upon playing new game plus when I got to the first store I was excited to get all my weapons back and the bug to be gone, WRONG! THE BUG STILL EXISTED. NOT ONLY THAT BUT I BOUGHT THE UNIQUE 99K SUIT IMMEDIATELY AND SOUPED IT UP TO THE MAX. Then I tried the workarounds for the bug again, non of which worked when I originally discovered it in chapter 11 but who knows it could have happened in chapter 8 that's around the last time I switched my weapon loadout. So I switched from the unique suit back to the lvl suit. After switching to the lvl one suit with no avail trying to get my weapons equipped and out of my inventory. I decided to put back on the New game Plus Suit.... It HAD DISAPPEARED FROM MY INVENTORY. EA really needs to get their act together. Now I'm going to have to reload a pre new game plus save (I saved one time every chapter) and find out when the bug occured and replay the game thru there, possibly reacquiring all the weapons upgrades as well because I was missing some up until chapter 11. This frustrates the living hell out of me. I've tried every possible known fix and NONE worked. So now I'm basically just going to give up, it's not worth my time and effort to go back and find the 6 or 7 weapons upgrades I was missing if indeed the bug occured before chapter 11 and playthrough till the end again. EA you just lost a customer for life!!!?
If Ea does ever decide to Remaster Dead Space 2&3...........
If Ea ever does finally decide to remaster Dead space 3, using the remastered Version Of Dead Space 3 and as well as Mass Effect Legendary Edition, to remaster both 2&3. Well, I have been noticing Subtle Differences and similarities between Dead Space Remastered and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and well, the suits kind of look similar,as EA started using Dead Space to help build Mass Effect 2 and 3, as well as also having a contract with Capcom to produce Lost Planet 3. Also changing the co-op options missions to be playable as solo or co-op as optional but I rather see it solo so you can actually complete the game to 100% , as well as having ALL DLCS just like Dead Space Remastered and the Master Skeleton Key Master Security Clearance to get the most out of gathering resources and components as well as Inventory Expansions . I am an Xbox Insider Alpha Skip Ahead and just started playing the game after a month, first originally playing on Game Pass and then continuing. There are some Major game-breaking bugs that need to be addressed, as in the Prologue where it says shoot weapon, and well, if you take that literally and then try to shoot at the manual release cover,it will not break and fails to break. I guess this was a developer's oversight at the time, and many more bugs like this the throughout the game. I also suggest increasing the Bot Capacity considerably to gather a Metric **bleep**-tonne of resources at once as well as having the original SCAF BULLPUP RIFLE and SUIT and other currently unplayable items and also cut content re-added to the remaster as well as all promotional and EA/BIOWARE exclusives you could unlock by logging in with you EA account just like Mass Effect and KOA (Kingdoms Of Amalur ) and Dragon Age once Did. I also heard rumours over the year of a variant of the Blood Dragon Armor from Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 and other Mass Effect variants were unlockable. The Heavy Elite Sharpshooter SMP-90 IS A great rifle, but does not pack enough punch and oomph unlike the Widow and Black Widow do in Mass Effect 3and all weapons in the remastered would be tweaked and refined to do mo damage like Dead Space One Remaster and so on a long with the suits would have bonuses applied just like Mass Effect 3. Going back to Mass Effect 3 original, Dead Space 3 weapons were clearly variants of the weapons of Mass Effect 3 ,while the Evangelizer was almost a fictional variant of the M-14 carbine polymer with an underbarrel Masterkey (underbarrel Shotgun)instead of m-203 launcher , I kind of wish it was full autoas well as the Pulse Rifle and all other weapons including the revolver added to the remaster of dead space 3 and Maybe some 1979 Alien weapons as well as the pulse rifle and halberd from Lost planet 3 made into some weapons that are heavy hitters and can dispatch multiple enemies at once and references and easter eggs. The game takes heavy inspiration from the original Tombraider game as wellThe Possibility of a Dead Space 2 Remake
I'd like to share my opinion on EA’s handling of the Dead Space franchise. We already know what happened with Visceral Games, and also much of what the company expected from the title itself. I’d say the president at the time was somewhat misguided when it came to survival horror games. This obsession with sales numbers has never really sat well with me, even for the most well-known titles like Resident Evil 4, whose sales figures aren't that impressive when compared to a multiplayer war FPS like Battlefield or Call of Duty. If there’s one thing the Dead Space franchise has, it’s critical acclaim. I think that alone was enough to solidify it as a cult classic in the genre. It made its impact, made noise, and still teaches lessons in several aspects of the genre, with a unique identity. But beyond that, we need to understand that certain strategies just shouldn’t be expected from a game like this—especially when a company tries to aim for something almost impossible within the genre, except in very specific cases. That said, a Dead Space 2 remake would be more than welcome. Not just because of the reimagining with modern visuals, but because of the potential it carries—particularly in terms of atmosphere, narrative construction, and world-building. Yes, a Dead Space 2 remake could be the foundation for a fully explorable version of the Sprawl, which was already a massive setting, even though it was linear in the original. What makes me think about this is the sheer size of the Sprawl and how many side missions could be created to deepen the lore of the outbreak and its characters—just as the Ishimura was given more freedom with its interconnected design. That same logic makes me believe the scale could be far greater, adding new bosses and enemy types, as well as expanding on hallucination sequences and improving existing boss fights like the Stalker. Just imagine that interconnected world like the Ishimura, now expanded into a semi-open world that gradually unlocks, giving you the choice to revisit areas as access codes are found. That alone would elevate the atmosphere to an unprecedented scale. So a Dead Space 2 remake project could very well become one of the most ambitious survival horror remakes in history. And of course, with that level of change, creation, and design, it would take quite a long time to develop. I can’t imagine EA greenlighting it and expecting a quick release. It would likely be something aimed for the next generation of consoles, precisely due to its potential. Let’s not forget that Visceral created the original sequel in just three years after the first game. The difference today is that to make a truly great game, development would have to be on a much bigger scale. I also think that, if possible, EA should think about a very smart and strategic marketing plan, especially in times when the game could benefit from a proper hype cycle. It’s easy to see that the marketing strategy for the 2023 Dead Space remake wasn’t the most favorable—mainly due to competing titles. Still, it was a critically acclaimed remake. I’d also love to see them invest in natural lighting techniques, avoiding overreliance on ray tracing, while giving proper focus to optimization. But anyway, this is just a fan’s wish!
Dead Space 2023 difficulty related achievements
Hello. I know the game has some achievements if you complete it from Medium difficulty and above. Problem is: I switched to Easy to let my gf play for a while. Can I just switch to Medium again and have the achievement when I'll complete the game, or you have to play whole run at same difficulty setting?Dead Space Remake
Dead Space Remake feels way more atmospheric than the original. I had serious doubts at first since I jumped straight from the original trilogy to this remake. And honestly, the original was already atmospheric by nature — but the remake takes that to the nth degree. And that’s a good thing. I never really got a proper scare in the original — at most, some overwhelming tension. Here in the remake, that tension is still very present but now wrapped in a much more punishing and terrifying atmosphere. You genuinely feel uncomfortable walking around without ammo — and even with ammo, you still feel vulnerable. I’m still on Chapter 6, and I noticed right from the beginning that they’ve modified and reused some mechanics from the second game — which is absolutely brilliant, because the side missions now add way more depth and mystery to the lore. I’ve seen some people claiming it’s “just a graphics update” or “just a copy of the original,” and let me tell you — that’s a complete lie. It’s not just about visuals. The ship feels way more spacious, the environments are heavily reworked, and everything is much more interconnected with drastic changes in certain locations and missions. Just think about the morgue scene where you need to retrieve the Captain’s RIG — the whole section before you encounter that woman mutilating a corpse and then slitting her own throat — it’s completely redesigned. There are definitely things I prefer from the original, but I’m not so much of a nostalgic purist to deny that this remake has clearly surpassed it. If the goal was to expand the experience in a way that feels fresh and brutally immersive, this remake absolutely nails it as one of the best of this generation. I’m not even talking about what made the original unique — this is about how the remake managed to be even more punishing, more threatening, and way beyond what I expected as a fan. The difficulty is also cranked up quite a bit. The Leviathan in the original was hard until you figured out the trick — and sure, some parts of the original are still notoriously tough, like the asteroid section (every FPS fan struggles there). But the Leviathan in the remake is way more punishing. There’s a phase where it attacks while launching organic bombs, and then the entire area gets flooded with poison. It’s both challenging and frustrating. If they managed to tone down the asteroid part, they absolutely cranked up the Leviathan fight. Overall, this game is insane. Once I finish it, I’ll come back with a much deeper and more detailed analysis.
