Now that is the game where whether a remake is justified is in question. DSremake took a lot from DS2 which helped justifiy the remake. What can they add to DS2 to justifiy a remake? The weapons have already been rebalanced in DSremake. The removal of node doors and the implementation of power rerouting are really all I can think of.
@@thorinhannahs4614in that case the game would most likely be more of a remaster than a remake. Then again, redoing the whole layout of the sprawl to make it interconnected would be a massive change
@@darkwould Would that work with the pacing of DS2? I understand in DS1 why you would do it. You are on a ship and you travel to the same areas throughout the story. DS2 you are on a massive space station and a lot of events throw you out of areas and into new ones. The train event and human rocket launch come to mind.
@@thorinhannahs4614 I wonder if they'll incorporate sgt Gabe Wellers dlc story into the remake for 2? It was very short in the original, but the levels were well designed and enemy placement was great. He was pretty likeable and had a solid backstop involving his wife. They could definitely insert his scenario in somewhere. Not to mention he had the baddest security suit in the entire series.
Oooh, I LIKE that change to the turret section. It makes a whole lot more sense for an engineer like Isaac to seek out a solution involving engineering rather than manning the guns himself.
I made my partner play through the original before this came out, and that turret section killed us more times than everything else in the game, easily. Very frustrating on console
@@VeritabIlIti I remember being so frustrated with that section way back when U played the original game. Looks like the remake did a better job with it while making it fit Isaac's character better.
I wish they added couple more necro during that section because it's fairly easy. The only thing you need to worry is your oxygen but the tanks are nearby. However, the turret boss fight against Leviathan outside of the ship was great.
I’m glad that it turned out as good as it did. I never play horror games, but I did watch my best friend play dead space back when we were kids. Brings back memories
I'm not. EA fired so many people that created the originals, took the IP from Glen Schofield, cancelled Dead Space 4, killed Visceral Games, and left the series in a Cliffhanger ending. We'll never get to see their vision for the planned continuation of Dead Space 4. Now they're profiting off an IP they don't deserve to have. It's a damn shame Callisto wasn't better.
@@DvSDiabloHRGlen made a extremely disappointing game anyways Callisto was what Dead Space 4 was originally going to be and if that was the case it was going to suck
@@Holy_Wraith You could not in fact backtrack in the original: while the story does make you return to some prior locations, there are typically sections that get locked out upon return, and you can only return when the story tells you to. The Medical Deck you revisit in Chapter 5 is not the same Medical Deck you visited in Chapter 2. In the Remake, the only time you become locked out of an area is when you go into Chapter 12 (which locks you out of the entirety of the Ishimura), and you can visit any area you've unlocked for as many times as you want.
@Mani4c94 it also has to do with the fact how seamless the original dead space is for it's time. the only time it really loads where it becomes apparent was in the tram. otherwise, you were almost always in control.
Some tips that helped me in Impossible mode. First, abuse Kinesis as much as you can, the pipes and poles you can throw are a one hit kill against most common enemies, even the fans that fall out of broken vents can instantly severe a necromorph's limbs. Second, do not carry a full four weapons, stick to just two or three. This will help you find more ammo for the weapons you want to use. I personally stuck with the Plasma Cutter, Contact Beam, and Force Gun. Third, don't worry about backtracking for upgrade parts unless they're absolutely necessary. No need to waste ammo and putting yourself in danger for a weapon part you may not even use. Fourth, this will contradict three, but make sure to complete Master Override and Mercer sidequests. The master override one is obvious, but the Mercer sidequest will net you a powerful stasis upgrade that damages enemies when they're slowed by it. Lastly, save literally whenever possible. The game's wording is a bit misleading, but you CAN save as much as you want in Impossible mode, but you only get a single save slot. With this constant saving in mind, if you're ever about to die or you handled a section poorly, don't be afraid to quit out of the game and reload your save.
Honestly, now that I'm an engineer, I appreciate Isaac carrying all his weapons/tools everywhere. Engineers often squirrel away their best/favorite tools to keep them safe. Given the roving horrors all over the place, carrying them around makes all the sense
It's rare anymore that games turn out exactly how you hope they will. This really did live up to the hype and expectations. Shoutout to the immense care and passion this team put into this game. So glad this exists and was executed as well as it was.
I think one of my favorite things that was included in the remake was an Easter egg that felt like one you’d find in an old early 2000s game. In one of the rooms in the executive suite, one of the walls has a strange pattern of handprints and blots… or rather, bootprints. Pretty weird right? Well, if you remember this pattern and head back to the break room by the bridge with the screen displaying the marker, and perform the series of melee and stomps in the strange unitology circle, you’ll get a secret audio log. What is it, you might think? A bit of extra lore? Something game-changing, maybe a rabbit hole? Nope! It’s a bunch of Ishimura crew members singing a (strangely disturbing) sea shanty about CEC and the USG Ishimura. It’s a fun little Easter egg that was just included for those who were curious enough to try it, and I love that about the game. It’s made by and for people who love the original dead space games, and it definitely shows in every little detail of the remake. Here’s to a remade/remastered Dead Space 2 :D
DS2 will just need some visual upgrades and fluid animations can't really see anything it needs fixing on like DS1 turrent.....but DS3 oh boy needs a lot of work starting with removing that coop only content and that universal ammo BS for guns and less of that generic zombie necromorph
That would require completely redoing the entire game. I don't see how they could remake 3 and make the writing decent without a complete story overhall
It makes me so happy that this channel is still around. This channel is so special for some reason. It feels like a safe space to come to. I've been watching for years now and i can't say that for a lot of channels
Oh damn, what are you doing here? 🤣. Joking aside though, actually playing the game has been quite a cool experience, Dead Space is back! I hope they work on the other games that need the remake treatment (Extraction would be fun to see outside of an on rail shooter with this type of remake)
dumb question, but are there big spoilers in this review? i am a Dead Space fan and played the original 3 games a lot of times and know the original inside out. but i cant play the Remake at the moment because i wasnt able to get my hands on a PS5 yet! you probably find a Unicorn faster than a PS5! x,D is it save to watch the video if i know the Dead Space 1 original already? thanks in advance for your reply! :D
PowerPyx has saved my trophy hunting ass so many times over the years. It always hurt a little when I would mention them to my friends and all I would get is a blank stare of “what the heck are you talking about?” Love seeing them get a shoutout.
This is the kind of remake I like to see take the skeleton of something good and quality for it's time and add in innovative dynamic mechanics to make what's there feel free and give it "bigger lungs" so to speak.
I'm not into horror, but Dead Space is a series that is a breed apart. Fear was overcome by methodical and calm deconstruction of my enemies, by de-limbing them. Plus, smacking around corpses to make sure they aren't alive was strangely cathartic, Gunner Wright's grunts and yells were perfect when stomping fools
I don’t like scary things, but Dead Space (2008) was a game I enjoyed a lot. I’ve been saying for a while it deserves a remake, and it looks like it got a good one.
This is an overall upgrade... Like I've played both and it is just a total immersion upgrade. His dialogue never feels like it's out of place and even being a little weird as a player still feels like a reaction Isaac would have from time to time... Weather it be frustration or him losing it slightly. His ammo running out has quips that feel like something he'd say in that moment.
I am excited for my Impossible playthrough. Time for the old pick two weapons that are the best and handle the most situations. The changes to weapon locations and the new weapon upgrades might throw a wrench in that though.
Jirard, I'm digging the new cut and beard. Love the look! Also, fantastic video. It reminds me of the older videos that offered spoilers for endings of games. I loved that aspect. Thanks!
I like how this remake simultaneously puts to shame "spiritual successor" games that pride on being made by the same people but end up being worse and "remakes" that are just graphical improvements with a higher price tag. Hopefully more devs pay attention after this game on how to do things right

It’s hard to explain but every video of yours hits me with nostalgia in a very specific way at a very certain point of time in my life. A very happy carefree time and place. Thank you for doing what you do through thick and thin, you might affect people in ways you’ll never know!
While demon souls does have a hand in that with its phenomenal remake, it came out as a console exclusive at a time where noone had the console, so it likely won't be remembered nearly as much
Yeah, I'd say the same about Demon's Souls. That remake is so accurate that speedrunners gavefound bugs or glitches in the remake, then found them in the original from that.
@@kelik1989 please no. I don't want more games trying to split themselves into chunks. FF7 gets away with it because of how massive the original was, but most games would not survive that and would just end up feeling padded as hell
Idk if Jirard has done an “If You Like” video for Dead Space, but I would recommend SIGNALIS if you like the vibe of the game. Maybe Jirard will do a video on it.
I read somewhere that while dead space didn't need a remake. It deserves one. I agree with that and am glad that it got the remake it deserved and that it has sparked interest into those who never played the original as well as serve as a celebration for those with fond memories of the original
Seeing as I hadn’t played a video game for 16 years until the pandemic hit in 2020 the last 3 years has consisted of me playing catch up with all the games of the last 2 decades, especially the games everyone says are incredible and seminal experiences. At the top of the list of classics I NEEDED to play was Dead Space. Like with the Last of Us remake these rebuilt masterpieces were made exactly for newbies like me! Hearing people like you recommend this made me instantly buy & download Dead Space! Im not even a fan of survival horror but I have heard so many good things about this game Im just diving in!🙏🏾
@@darthcinema4262 also I was thinking this remake Dead space 1 and 2 and then say the original Dead space 3 is no longer Cannon and make a new Dead space 3
@@forrestpenrod2294 as long as the entire story is scrapped and all the characters are un-ruined. That game took Isaac and said "actually, let's make him just the worst ever." Not to mention the incredibly lazy villains
I'm glad this game came out so much better than we could have hoped. I don't play horror games but do watch other play/stream them and the joy people had on day 1 going through this game was palpable.
I first played Dead Space last year and actually completed because of your video. Your passion for the game made me try it and as a completionist I had to complete 100%. Loved it all! I'm currently trying to get the Hard to the Core achievement on Dead Space 2. It hasn't been going well, but I'll get there, I'm sure! Also, love your new haircut ;)
@@thorinhannahs4614 I'm on Chapter 6. Plasma Cutter, Line Gun (to sell the ammo) and Javelin. The idea is to eventually only have the Rifle and Contact Beam/Force Gun. Got any tips?
It's good to know that at least one of the Dead Space successors was great. I'm still gonna wait until I can get a cheaper used copy (I still remember what you did to Visceral, EA), but I'm glad people can enjoy it.
Now that I went through this game THREE times and completed it, I can come here finally. Once on hard, once on Impossible and once on Hard NG+ 100% platinum in a week'n'a'half.
I think both ending fit neatly into the next game. One has Isaac fight the horror, and gets haunted by the results. The other has him goes nuts, ending up building the marker, gets washed up as he comes to his senses, and ends up in the same position with deep regret regardless.
I usually don't mind spoilers, and I usually get excited for something the more I know about it. But in this case, I don't want to know what the new ending is so I can experience it myself, because this game looks to be such a great experience to play through!
What I love about the remake is how true they stayed to the original game and the original story yes some minor adjustments were made. But it wasn’t about rewriting the story it was about creating the Dead space that would have been impossible to create 15 years ago
great to hear Jirard talk about this game once again especially since this remake turned out to be so well made, there nothing like a good completion bonus!
First time playing through deadspace with the remake and man it's freaking amazing. I am loving everything about it. Freaks me the heck out but man I'm loving it!
You putting your completionist rating at the beginning of the video saves a lot of time of not watching the rest of the video. I was hoping it wouldn't change my enjoyment of the videos, but all momentum is just removed with this new format.
I'll admit I missed the series the first time around, not too sure what had my attention at the time. It's great seeing long time fans go back. Hopefully new players like myself will be just as enthralled.
Agreed the remake is excellent & I hope everyone enjoys it if they decide to pick it up now or later. Kudos to EA Motive for giving the game the love and attention it deserved.
OMG! Dude, I'm literally not even kidding. That part where you died on your Impossible Mode run? I was just on Normal, but that's EXACTLY the same spot and same thing that happened to me. Damn Leaper wasn't there at the save point, and as soon as I exited it killed me, and now that's where my save file loads up every time. xDD
I had that save issue spawn in and die happen to me too but I managed to save myself out of it by quiting out and then spamming continue then spamming the heal before they could kill me. BRUTAL
I get my copy on February 9th. This game I guess was sold earlier on places like Amazon ,selling out quick. Thankfully it’s coming earlier than what was originally intended!
Just beat Impossible mode and got the platinum on PS5. I would seriously suggest combining your Impossible run with your One Gun run like I did. By chapter 5 I had so much ammo and health, and I could dedicate all my nodes to just my RIG and the Plasma Cutter. By the end of the game I had 100k credits, 5 large medkits, 300 Plasma Energy and a fully upgraded RIG and Plasma Cutter. The game was honestly a total breeze on Impossible doing a One Gun.
speaking of messing with perfection: im going to be that guy and point out that there is a symbol for the “SS” in messing instead of doing the double s symbol twice at 3:14. gotta say though. admire the dedication to even implement the symbols in the first place. great vid. ❤😈
I've noticed everyone said Isaac was voiced by the same voice actor who did DeadSpace 2 and 3. But Isaac did talk in DeadSpace 1 but only once or twice and his foot stomps you can hear its the same voice actor.
The only thing I didn't agree with, the hunt for Peng. Playing the orginal. It's in the first mission and you can't grab it until you come back in chapter 11. It is, in fact, hidden in chapter 11.
Sounds like they did it justice - hope many vets and new players pick it up. I feel like the old map made sense for an engineer that would need to see things in 3D but oh well!
It's worth noting that if you're on PS5 with PS Plus, you can save scum with your Impossible run. It's a little tedious - but make sure auto-upload is off for your saves, save often, upload your save to the cloud every time you do - which requires you to close the game each time, unfortunately. I ended up only dying once during my Impossible run and it was 100% my own fault, but the peace of mind from uploading my save helped a bunch. Fantastic game.
This game shows why survival horror is the best horror game sub genre. We’re finally coming out of the dark ages of horror games with stupid hide and seek gameplay, cheap jumpscares and having mascots to sell cheap toys to toddlers. Resident Evil was the last fighter in survival horror for ages but now with this, Callisto Protocol (idc if it’s bad or not it’s existence is helping slightly helping the sub genre and all of you who think that because it’s bad makes survival horror dead are dumb) and Silent Hill 2 remake are reviving it
31:31 I am literally wondering what killed Jirard in this moment. Was it an enemy that was saved alongside Isaac? Or literally the game bugged out and killed Isaac upon reloading the save?
Everyone wanted Callisto Protocol to be the new Dead Space, but Dead Space was the new Dead Space.
It’s DEAD SPACEIN time

Yeah, I'd say the same about Demon's Souls. That remake is so accurate that speedrunners gavefound bugs or glitches in the remake, then found them in the original from that.
@@kelik1989 please no. I don't want more games trying to split themselves into chunks. FF7 gets away with it because of how massive the original was, but most games would not survive that and would just end up feeling padded as hell
Idk if Jirard has done an “If You Like” video for Dead Space, but I would recommend SIGNALIS if you like the vibe of the game. Maybe Jirard will do a video on it.
Realized you did the anagram thing! Nice job! The segments spell COMPLETE! 👍🏻
I Just realized, if you take the first letter of each of the title cards, you spell, “COMPLETE”! Now that’s cool.
Kirby games have taught me that technique.
I read somewhere that while dead space didn't need a remake. It deserves one.
I agree with that and am glad that it got the remake it deserved and that it has sparked interest into those who never played the original as well as serve as a celebration for those with fond memories of the original
Guess The Callisto Protocol is to Dead Space what Mighty no. 9 was to Mega Man.
Ouch lol
Seeing as I hadn’t played a video game for 16 years until the pandemic hit in 2020 the last 3 years has consisted of me playing catch up with all the games of the last 2 decades, especially the games everyone says are incredible and seminal experiences. At the top of the list of classics I NEEDED to play was Dead Space. Like with the Last of Us remake these rebuilt masterpieces were made exactly for newbies like me! Hearing people like you recommend this made me instantly buy & download Dead Space! Im not even a fan of survival horror but I have heard so many good things about this game Im just diving in!🙏🏾
I really hope this allows for more Dead Space games.
I would love to see a full remake of DS 3 that is actually horror focused and includes the ideas that Visceral wanted to do
@@darthcinema4262 also I was thinking this remake Dead space 1 and 2 and then say the original Dead space 3 is no longer Cannon and make a new Dead space 3
@@knucklessammich3875 Dead Space 3 is full of fantastic ideas with some lackluster execution. I wouldn’t go so far to say it doesn’t exist.
@@forrestpenrod2294 Honesty Dead Space 3 could use a remake to fix all the problems the original version had.
I could see it benefiting from a remake.
@@forrestpenrod2294 as long as the entire story is scrapped and all the characters are un-ruined. That game took Isaac and said "actually, let's make him just the worst ever." Not to mention the incredibly lazy villains
Dude I've spent so much time just walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. It's really amazing. We need as much sci fi horror as possible.
Thanks, Jirard and Co! I've watched Jesse's original playthrough at least three times, can't wait to see his new one!
Love that this spelled COMPLETE! Very cool throw back! :D
I'm glad this game came out so much better than we could have hoped. I don't play horror games but do watch other play/stream them and the joy people had on day 1 going through this game was palpable.
The best gag weapon to exist. I am so happy that they brought it into the remake.
This was an incredibly and warranted play through! Thanks Jirard!
Really one of the greatest horror games I've ever played At the time I even had Nightmares.
I first played Dead Space last year and actually completed because of your video. Your passion for the game made me try it and as a completionist I had to complete 100%. Loved it all!
I'm currently trying to get the Hard to the Core achievement on Dead Space 2. It hasn't been going well, but I'll get there, I'm sure!
Also, love your new haircut ;)
What weapons are you using? For the Hardcore mode on DS2?
@@thorinhannahs4614 I'm on Chapter 6. Plasma Cutter, Line Gun (to sell the ammo) and Javelin. The idea is to eventually only have the Rifle and Contact Beam/Force Gun.
Got any tips?
It's good to know that at least one of the Dead Space successors was great. I'm still gonna wait until I can get a cheaper used copy (I still remember what you did to Visceral, EA), but I'm glad people can enjoy it.
Keep a look out for Negative Atmosphere. That game is looking pretty good
If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or EA Play, there's a slight discount on the digital version! I'm sure there will be sales soon, though.
The Good news is that there are other Strategy games to play. Valkyria Chronicles 4, War Groove, Triangle Strategy, and even Tactics Ogre Reborn.
Great vid TOVG crew. And Jirard, looking clean my guy 👌🏽 keep up the awesome work
One of my favorite little details is if Issac repeatedly stomps a corpse or an enemy he’ll start swearing like a dad seeing a mouse.
Now that I went through this game THREE times and completed it, I can come here finally. Once on hard, once on Impossible and once on Hard NG+ 100% platinum in a week'n'a'half.
I think both ending fit neatly into the next game. One has Isaac fight the horror, and gets haunted by the results. The other has him goes nuts, ending up building the marker, gets washed up as he comes to his senses, and ends up in the same position with deep regret regardless.
If you take the first letter of every chapter from the video it spells out "COMPLETE". Nice attention to detail and call back to Dead Space's chapters
Nicole is Dead
I remember watching my brother playing this when we were younger, and I use to scream at the TV during the entire time he played. I can’t wait to play
I usually don't mind spoilers, and I usually get excited for something the more I know about it. But in this case, I don't want to know what the new ending is so I can experience it myself, because this game looks to be such a great experience to play through!
What I love about the remake is how true they stayed to the original game and the original story yes some minor adjustments were made. But it wasn’t about rewriting the story it was about creating the Dead space that would have been impossible to create 15 years ago
great to hear Jirard talk about this game once again especially since this remake turned out to be so well made, there nothing like a good completion bonus!
The pulse rifle is so sexy and fun now! The mines are INSANE
First time playing through deadspace with the remake and man it's freaking amazing. I am loving everything about it. Freaks me the heck out but man I'm loving it!
Ok this might just be me, but Jirard’s beard looks exceptionally great in this video
Teach me your ways, oh wise beardman!
Jirard with the braids in the beard! I can dig it!
You putting your completionist rating at the beginning of the video saves a lot of time of not watching the rest of the video. I was hoping it wouldn't change my enjoyment of the videos, but all momentum is just removed with this new format.
This game is getting so much love I had to break my rule of never buying full price steam games at launch 😆. Hope my 6600xt runs it OK.
I'll admit I missed the series the first time around, not too sure what had my attention at the time. It's great seeing long time fans go back. Hopefully new players like myself will be just as enthralled.
Nicole looks like Carol Marcus from Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.
But I still like the remake. DLC suit removes Isaac's head in cutscenes.
huge plays.
Clever last millisecond coded message.
Agreed the remake is excellent & I hope everyone enjoys it if they decide to pick it up now or later. Kudos to EA Motive for giving the game the love and attention it deserved.
I see your slimming down a bit man keep up the process and dead space is my favorite game of all time!
OMG! Dude, I'm literally not even kidding. That part where you died on your Impossible Mode run? I was just on Normal, but that's EXACTLY the same spot and same thing that happened to me. Damn Leaper wasn't there at the save point, and as soon as I exited it killed me, and now that's where my save file loads up every time. xDD
My favorite line was when Isaac said, “Where are we? In some kind of dead space?” Truly iconic
My favorite line was when Isaac said, "It's dead spacin' time!" and then dead spaced all over the enemies
So you're telling me, this some kinda... Dead Space Remake?
Love the shoutout to Powerpyx! They’re the absolute best!
I have been to scared to play horror games. Started with RE2 Remake and now I love em. Can't wait to play DS.
8:13 > 16:15
Cough Cough (RE3R) > I don't need a map when I have my guiding Light!
Man, if they follow the alternate ending for the renewal of the whole saga that would be insane.
I miss my Elite suit from the 360 version. But I'm loving this remake so much! THIS is how you do a remake!
Pretty ballsy to make the make the super-secret ending the BAD ending. Big respect to the team for that.
I had that save issue spawn in and die happen to me too but I managed to save myself out of it by quiting out and then spamming continue then spamming the heal before they could kill me.
BRUTAL
Issac:
Watches crewmates get brutally murdered in front of him- I sleep
Sees Nicole- *real shit?*
Dead space 2 is my personal favorite but my goodness did the first one scare me shitless when I was 12.
I get my copy on February 9th. This game I guess was sold earlier on places like Amazon ,selling out quick. Thankfully it’s coming earlier than what was originally intended!
Just beat Impossible mode and got the platinum on PS5. I would seriously suggest combining your Impossible run with your One Gun run like I did. By chapter 5 I had so much ammo and health, and I could dedicate all my nodes to just my RIG and the Plasma Cutter. By the end of the game I had 100k credits, 5 large medkits, 300 Plasma Energy and a fully upgraded RIG and Plasma Cutter. The game was honestly a total breeze on Impossible doing a One Gun.
I'm glad they kept the part in the game where Isaac says "ITS DEAD SPACING TIME!"
It seems like a good remake but I think there is just one thing missing. Foam Finger
(Edit: Never mind. The Foam Finger is back, baby!)
speaking of messing with perfection: im going to be that guy and point out that there is a symbol for the “SS” in messing instead of doing the double s symbol twice at 3:14. gotta say though. admire the dedication to even implement the symbols in the first place. great vid. ❤😈
I really wish I could just play this game for the first time over and over again
Thought I might get this and finally play it but thunk I'll pass again
Started it last night, and honestly it almost feels like I am. So many little changes that freshen it up. I'm having a great time
@@InnerRise why even bother to share that lol
@@IAmDaDumb1
Bc I wanted to. You'll get over it though.
I've noticed everyone said Isaac was voiced by the same voice actor who did DeadSpace 2 and 3. But Isaac did talk in DeadSpace 1 but only once or twice and his foot stomps you can hear its the same voice actor.
The only thing I didn't agree with, the hunt for Peng. Playing the orginal. It's in the first mission and you can't grab it until you come back in chapter 11. It is, in fact, hidden in chapter 11.
So glad they remade this. I was way too young to play this when it first released.
Sounds like they did it justice - hope many vets and new players pick it up. I feel like the old map made sense for an engineer that would need to see things in 3D but oh well!
Dude!, the same place you died on Impossible mode. I died there too and the same way.
WOW Jirard I have been unable to catch up on your videos and your beard has become EPIC!!!!
It's worth noting that if you're on PS5 with PS Plus, you can save scum with your Impossible run. It's a little tedious - but make sure auto-upload is off for your saves, save often, upload your save to the cloud every time you do - which requires you to close the game each time, unfortunately. I ended up only dying once during my Impossible run and it was 100% my own fault, but the peace of mind from uploading my save helped a bunch.
Fantastic game.
This game shows why survival horror is the best horror game sub genre. We’re finally coming out of the dark ages of horror games with stupid hide and seek gameplay, cheap jumpscares and having mascots to sell cheap toys to toddlers. Resident Evil was the last fighter in survival horror for ages but now with this, Callisto Protocol (idc if it’s bad or not it’s existence is helping slightly helping the sub genre and all of you who think that because it’s bad makes survival horror dead are dumb) and Silent Hill 2 remake are reviving it
I miss the suspense of awaiting the Completionist rating but still enjoy the videos.
31:31 I am literally wondering what killed Jirard in this moment. Was it an enemy that was saved alongside Isaac? Or literally the game bugged out and killed Isaac upon reloading the save?
