Very much in 2 minds about this particular screenshot, not sure how much is because they are taken in slightly different places with the right hand one outside the door / further way from the enemy
Yes Issac’s new suit / helmet looks way better and far more detailed, but the enemy bashing his head against the wall looks far less detailed and washed out, less bloody / gory, it seems to be a complete downgrade in the graphics regards that particular bit and rather disappointing to be honest.
Would want the original enemy and the new Issac from just seeing these 2 images
Guess will have to wait and see further images to see how things compare
This happens all the time when a remake is good. Just like the demon souls remake, no matter how well you do something people always complain about SOMETHING.
I think I actually prefer the original in a lot of ways. I have a severe issue with lighting in modern games, its so blended and ‘realistic’ that it actually detracts from the ambience to me. The harder contrasting lines of shadow in older graphics is much more appealing, at least to my eye.
Ideally though: New character model, old art direction. The implants, hard industrial lines and grating, and more generous blood stand out in the original.
dead space came out to xbox 360 and now we are at series x. Xbox 360 is to us what ps1 was to ps3. Something went very wrong.

P.S. Before people spam diminishing returns on polygons image I know that. but there are other ways to improving the graphics of videogames without having to resort to techniques we have been using for so many generations which clearly isnt progressing us fast enough. We need new display types or completely new paradigms of rendering to see improvement.
The remake looks less unique, I’d say? Obviously it looks better, but the original looks like it pops more with the blood on the wall and the brown hues on the suit. Excited to see more though in a month
I really hope some of the magic isn’t lost with these new graphics. The atmosphere is probably the #1 reason i still love this franchise so many years later.
I’ve never played the game and so because this is a general “gaming” sub and not specific to Dead Space, I’m just gonna say that based on just this picture, the original looks better. Other than the character model on the remake, it looks so much worse in comparison.
I sure hope they don’t The Thing this, where they turn a perfectly good body horror nightmare into a joke because they play with the tech too hard and forget about the actual important parts.
Ok, I hate to be this guy… but this scene, when seeing it actually play out in the remake, feels off to me. They made the guy dramatically slam his head into the wall and the original was a lot more haunting the way he’s calmly bashing his own head in so lifelessly.
It makes me worry that the remake will have the more over the top direction the sequels had, which was turn off for me.
As a huge dead space fan there are a couple of scenes in the remake that just seem too…clean I would say? Where the grittiness and gore made the original dead space scarier.
* The attack at the start of the game, you can clearly see the necromorphs killing everyone under rather bright light. In the original this scene was a lot darker and made more sense why the guard were so easily ambushed, and not seeing what killed them in high details made it scarier and really cemented the “what the fuck was that?!” Moment.
* Hallway guy being so clean bothers me immensely, the original guy was a worker on the station. New model looks like an escape psychiatric patient. Original guy was *fucked up* bleeding from all over, missing *chunks of flesh* and clearly close to death, clearly driven insane and in so much pain he only wanted to die. People could not tell if he was human or a necromorph and *that was the point*. New model just looks like a crazy person doing crazy person things. Loses a lot of the weight
* doctor carving up a living patient in the medical bay, also too clean. Previous version was a lot darker with flickering lights and splatter. She acknowledges Isaac is watching and carves the still living patient up while eying him (clearly not even looking at the guys she’s killing) She then looks away, finishes with the patient, and slits her own throat and drops *instantly*. In the new version she doesn’t acknowledge Isaac at all until after she carves the guy up, then walks up to Isaac and slits her own throat and falls over dramatically. I think the original version was more well done here as well.
the remake looks remarkably good, but the original holds up really well too..
Left looks better

When is this out
The original looks more scary, the whole point of the game.
The remake looks like what we thought the first one looked like 10 years ago
I will never understand why remakes fuck the lighting so bad
Another game that didn’t need a remake. Orginal still holds up, but they can’t be bothered to make another sequel.
Make sure to turn the volume up for the end credits to hear the Easter egg
The art of original inspire more horror

Can we start making new original games or are we just going to continue to play it safe and remake/remaster games that dont need it at all?

They both suprisingly look both better and worse then the other one.
I really enjoy the original.
The blood over his torso makes sense, as hes been smashing his head against the wall for a while.
Remake looks more like a new hospital, as opposed to the oldest serving planet cracker in service.
Why is psycho homie in clothes now? Let the man hang brain!
For real though it seems…less scary a bit.
I didn’t really understand this pic:
The main character on left is not well detailed, and the one on the right is scary and badass
The monster on left is scary, and the white guy on the right is not…
Can you please show a picture from the same moment?
The remake looks nice. But couldn’t they do this on the original silent hill or something? Dead space 1 still looks pretty good
The human body looks less fragile in the remake.
“Hey, you know what would be more scary than a dark moody setting? Bright oversaturated lighting.”
Why does the original look better?
I really hope some of the magic isn’t lost with these new graphics. The atmosphere is probably the #1 reason i still love this franchise so many years later.
I thought the remake was the original
Why does isaac walk like he has lumbago?
the remake looks kinda lifeless compared to the original. other than the armor i think i prefer everything else in the original photo.

I don’t like how the suit looks higher tech in the remake picture. The original looks much more like what a space engineer would wear. Sigh.
I kind of prefer the left image
