You missed Mercer's death. Back in OG, he turns into a necromorph (you can kill the infector grabbing him if you're fast enough and deny him convergence, but he dies as if the infector killed him regardless of your actions) In Remake, he is killed by a tentacle and never turned (on screen, at least)
Not sure why people keep complaining about the scare factor, the original dead space was to some extent a very unique game and terrifying, however once you played it once and completed it the whole scare factor was gone because you knew when it was coming so what did you expect from the remake when it’s still following the original very closely
I mean they litteraly "killed" the scare factor that people where expeting to meet . That begin with the main character talking , taking off his helmet in some interaction with npc . Some character remplaced for other some scène changed ,some deleted and remplaced .... even the weapon feels différent . We aren't saying that the game is bad , but what justify so much change for a *remake* . The overhall ambiance is still here but is different from what people expérienced from the OG
Honestly, the scare factor only lasted the first third to half. Once you've gotten upgrades and started dismembering everything, not trusting vents, exc so much of the actual fear is gone from the game.
Hammonds death in OG dead space was like a tribute I think to Michael Altman (unwilling founder of unitology) in the book. He was locked in a room with an insurmountable brute with and a spoon that he sharpened against a wall into a shiv much like Hammond with his rifle. I think that image invokes a more powerful sense of how outclassed we are by the necromorphs. Lets remember the sole necromorph in a shuttle took down the valor
That' was more necromorph plot armor than anything....I mean how easy even with a pulse rifle on the hardest difficult is a Necro? Not hard at all. And the Valor was a full ship filled with soldiers.. Surely someone would hit their mark...
@@mrdrebin123 remember necromorphs can absorb a bunch of body shots, the soldiers on the ship most likely went for the head and body not the limbs so the necromorph would have had time to slaughter before they realized that they had to dismember it
@@mrdrebin123their weapons were probably stowed, giving it time to kill a bunch of soldiers before they could even get armed. I doubt it murdered the entire ship anyway, after the valor crashed Necromorphs probably boarded and mopped up the rest. Just a theory though, because I thought the same thing you did.
In the final boss, Isaac taunting is pretty much how the old players who replay the game will felt like instead of scared they more of less "Bring it! And get some". A metaphorical sense of the old players. We don't scared, we just want to squished bunch of necros into soup.
Eh, I wouldn’t quite say that. The line was definitely badass, but remake Isaac wasn’t acting out of any sort of confidence. Dude says it himself: he’s got nothing left to live for, and probably didn’t even expect to survive. Original gave the vibe of “I’ve beaten every other Necromorph abomination and you’re next.” Remake is “Everyone is dead, but I won’t join them without a fight!”
@@GoldLight73 I do agree with your view. I would say though that Isaac at times in the game seems to be WAY to calm. I like the voice acting, and I like that he feels more proactive due to it. Considering what he sees in the game it is strange how calm he seems in most situations. Like "yeah, I`ll deal with that", especially in the beginning when he would propably still be freaking out.
@@Rakshiir Yeah, I can definitely see that. For me I just chalk it up to Isaac being good at keeping his cool under pressure, but Kendra and even Hammond definitely seem way more torn up about the whole thing in the first couple of hours.
I really like both versions of Hammonds death. In the remake, he cares a lot more about Chen, like a leader would do. And the marker psychologically destroyed him, but he could turn his last moments with his willpower. Which has a heroic but also a kitchy side. The old one gave you hope by meeting him after a long time again and then your hope gets completly destroyed after you are forced to see your best friend gets teared apart like nothing. I think the old one is more harsh and cold which I prefer.
@@JudgeMad Lol you could say the new one goes more with the actual lore of dead space. The marker manipulated Hammond into seeing what it wanted him to see and it got him killed. The first video, Hammond is somehow immune from the effects of the marker
@@Emot10ns Hammond wasn't dumb and knew, pretty much the same effect wise as Issac since they both arrived at the same time so he shouldn't have been losing it that hard especially when he saw Chen get mauled by a literal monster.
I don't like that change so much as the original version because the captain diving on the doc makes it more an accident, but the original gives a hint that the doctor is mentally compromised in not being able to judge his treatment.
I felt like the remake made things more heroic and cinematic. Main characters died like main characters with impactful emotional deaths, but I like the original better. The deaths in the original felt like important people to you died hopeless, helpless, and sudden deaths that left you little to no time to react. Those sudden deaths felt all more real because you had no time to think, you acted as a sole survivor. Isaac wasn't well after the Ishimura, he was hopeless to save anyone and carried that trauma of the first game into the sequels. Just my personal opinion.
End result is the same though, yeah? Issac saves no one, not even Kendra who he was still willing to help at the end. Whether you go out like a badass like Hammond or a chump like Chen, you still go out.
I disagree fully bro. It never once made sense that Issac was the only one who was competent. everyone else was nothing but a victim and it didn't make sense. Now hammond and especially temple, don’t come off as absolute chumps. Dude and Chen's death in the original was so bad now he actually looks like he tried to defend himself. They all look like they at least TRY to defend themselves.
@@brettvonklock3206 Valid opinion. I like to view it less as they were incompetent as much as they'd never dealt with a Necromorph outbreak before therefor they were ill equipped and vastly overwhelmed by and unknown enemy.
@@alcatrazthatguyontheintern1465 that is true competent wasn't entirely the right word and Issac's armor helps him not get ripped apart immediately, but I still prefer that people in the remake have slightly more fight in them and attempt to fight back a little. Temple was the big one for me. His death made me so uncomfortable in the original not bc it was scary, but because he was so helpless and at mercer's mercy. In the remake it was equally as uncomfortable, and now he tries to fight back.
@@renaicirculation4143 Why so toxic when someone doesn't have the same opinion as you? I just prefer the original death scene. Besides, I ain't a sucker for Dead Space, so, no nostalgia factor, I just prefer the old death scene. I don't prefer a version more than the other, but if I did, you'd probably get angry at that and make a long argument about "how shitty the original is".
Not a troll but the original was a shitty way for a good character to go. It was kinda torturous the way they killed him, so definitely a better death for him.
Chen: It's a tie, both deaths are very brutal if you ask me. Chase: Not listed there, but I prefer the OG, all the shaking and the Necros attacking is very nerve wracking Crew 1: Remake, no question. What a way to go Officer: Tie. The first one gives that creepy weird factor with all that scene, however the second one she literally died alone, not knowing what else was gonna happen except that she was alone, had a hand trusted in her chest and was traumatized. Crew 2: I probably go with OG though Crew 3: Remake. No doubts. Evjerything of it is disturbing, even if the OG has the bigger knife. Scientist: Tie, there is not really that much difference. Mathius: The Remake. May not be as bloody but I like that I can see what was happening. I really don't like all that static happening all the time. Human Necro: Remake. It should be obvious. Hammond: It's a tie. The first one is definetly the most brutal, the second one does give a little more depth about he and Chen's friendship while still having a gory death. Temple: God, this one I can't choose. But ways are still brutal. Being chained and getting a knife in the head is not pretty at all, but also having a slow dead like that? I want to say the Remake but the OG still works. Kyne: Tie. Nothing much changes. Nicole: I say the OG is better. Daniels: While I still prefer the OG, I like how Isaac just didn't want to be the only survivor and even wanted to escape with Daniels by that point. Still prefer the OG. Ending: Not really sure to be honest. While the Remake has a weak jumpscare, the idea of "Nicole" sitting next to Isaac looking is down right scary. The OG has the better jumpscare though.
Be honest Kendra was a bitch, in the original she got that and we all glad, Daniels in the Remake didnt want to left Isaac, she even hoped Isaac will get out from there, so we kinda had sympathy for her, also we should note that Kyne death in original was more tragic because he was Unitologist who understood that bullshit, also Mercer was maniac who thought he was doing right thing, in the Remake he was sane.
I like hammond’s in the remake better than the original, in the original he didn’t have a chance at all. In the remake he went out like a champ. RIP to a good soldier
To be fair, the original gave it a more sense of helplessness that any regular human will eventually be overwhelmed by the Necromorphs, along with showing their violent nature and cold malicious intentions. But the remake did a good job including Issac's reactions. Bless Gunner Wright
I like how Hammond is more affected by the marker and had a more of an attachment to Chen but I liked how brutal Hammonds death was in the Orginal especially since we lost contact with him right before then. But they are both good, kind of wish there was a way to combine both.
I think his strong attachment for Chen was the marker increasing Hammond's need to be a leader and care for his people, only it tried twisting his good character. Kind of like Cap's soldier serum.
@@DHGxMcFlurry That would be cool if Hammond felt the same about Isaac and Kendra. Or that nameless chick who died in the explosion from the beginning. But nah he hyper focused on Chen. It was poorly executed. In the OG game the necromorph in the space pod is treated like an afterthought at the very beginning of the game. LATER ON the ship that tries to help the Ishimura collects the escape pod in good faith and to everyone's surprise that's the same pod with a necromorph on it. It's not supposed to be a particular necromorph, that's what makes the new version corny. They're being too precise with the ambiguity of the marker.
That was the first thing I noticed. Last thing Jacob Temple sees is Isaac just before having his brains blown out, i thought that scene was powerful just in the fact alone
One thing that I cannot let pass is why the devs did not added that face palm on the helmet when Isaac realizes that Nicole is dead in the remake. It adds more emotion. In the remake feels a little odd. I though he was going to cry or something sad. Imagine you realize that your loved died and you thought he or she was alive. How would you react?
From what I saw from the remake he knew she was dead from the get go he was just in severe denial. Also am I the only one who thinks remake Isaac looks like Zuckerburg.
Yeah, I expected him to have a bit more of a vocal reaction at least. He actually stops in his tracks to scream at stross in dead space 2, but can’t react when the love of his life kills herself on only fans?
Yeah, the slow-paced bits with the more detailed psychological breakdowns are a fair bit better. That's not to say the remake didn't do a good job on that front, but it's still more hard-hitting in the originals.
How so? Personally I think the remake did a better job fleshing out the characters and their motivations the side missions were awesome. Altho I do wish they were actual missions instead of one room detours lol. Mercer in particular feels far more vindictive and calculating. Less a fanatic and more of a doctor gone mad. His experiments on the person that became the hunter and Nicole’s attempts to stop him were a great addition.
@@aramk2663 That it did very well! By the time the whole thing was over, the characters were greatly more defined, it's just that there are several points, the retrieval of the stasis unit, the guy banging his head against the wall, the woman performing pseudo-surgery in medical, and the biggest one the Nicole jumpscare. In the original each of those moments felt... I don't know how to describe it. While the remake's scary moments were certainly still effective, they just didn't feel as authentic as the originals.
Like another commenter brought up, it is a possibility that you just didn't know in the originals, what was going to happen next, and then when you replay them, it's nostalgia that keeps the tension up. As a result, in the remake, you don't get the same feeling because it's neither unexpected, nor is it what you remember.
@@paytonkraft7564 I 100% understand what ur putting down. The first time I played the original I was like 13 and those scenes were SUPER unnerving and great for it. The first time the divider lumbered around that corner I almost shit myself. Unfortunately, everytime i come back they also feel a little flatter, remake and original included. I think it’s just having seen them before+getting older+desensitized. Still tho this remake is a fantastic foundation for the next 2 games. I hope they expand on the dynamic sounds and maybe add in some new enemies. A system that randomly inserts certain events and encounters would be fantastic and keep the play throughs fresher.
@@aramk2663 Yeah, I can get behind that. You see the same jumpscare enough times it stops being scary, but dang if it don't get you good the first one or two times, you know?
i will say I feel the rig flatlining noise is much more prominent in the original which I kinda like as it give more emphasis on "yes that person is dead n whats coming back is gonna be something else" even if the noise felt rather delayed in some instances. I just didnt hear the flatline as much in the remake versions.
I noticed that the sound in the remake at times seemed lower, especially you fight the Hive Mind. In the original game the Hive Mind sounds deafening but in the remake at times I can barely hear it.
Something I really hate is that so many deaths could have been prevented by Isaac simply shooting through the easily breakable glass. You see necromorphs shatter glass in cutscenes all the time, so it definitely isn't bulletproof. Also dumb how Mercer's stasis in the remake lasts like ten minutes while he's monologuing, and he does it more than once!
Isaac doesn’t shoot bullets, it’s mostly plasma projectiles which cut extremely well but don’t plow through anything like a bullet would. Necromorphs on the other hand, are dummy strong Also Mercer uses a special variant of stasis while he’s monologuing. You can unlock it through a side quest giving you additional freeze time
@@Minimaidenist Plasma?...I'm sorry do you know what Plasma is and a Plasma cutter..I'd take the bullet any time. The Plasma cutter is literally industrial equipment used to cut through Iron, Steel and Titanium...That's why it just plows through flesh, it melts and cuts like a damn Laser sword. Consider it a Lightsaber but it's being shot at you. It would easily go through windows. That's the only grief there is with dead space, that Plot armor of helplessness, or the always somehow being alone plot armor, where no matter how stupid the idea, you're always dealing with something alone, and there's for some reason no one around. (thinking of DS2 where there's more than ample oppertunity to be near others):
@@mrdrebin123I think we should understand materials in Dead Space by their futuristic setting. What I mean by this is, we know for example military equipment is terrible against slashes, which is why Necromorphs kill militaries so easily. So, it could make sense that glasses, being an industrial facility, were made to resist insane temperatures, which is what the plasma cutter basically does, cut through temperature. It doesn't make any sense in a gameplay-ish way anyhow, because Isaac still got the Pulse Rifle which could easily break through glass, or the Rail Gun which is literally made to mine asteroids.
@@bmackcornbread1158 Yeah, Chen gets such a nothing death in the original that most people thought he died offscreen after Hammond and Kendra escaped the room.
The only criticism I have is that some of the animations don't have the same impact as the original, especially in the scene with the Hive Mind's tentacles coming down at full force and encircling Isaac very quickly. edit: grammar
@@amp8295 the remake has better sound blending overall, the original sounds were too boosted. Remake has echo effects and a spatial acoustics. That's not to say the original didn't do its best with what it had, sound blending was still pretty simple back in 2008.
It's amazing how often I just... forget that I'm looking at the original and not the remake in some of these clips, and then it cuts to the remake and it still somehow looks even better. Honestly, it's a testament to both of these game's quality
I feel like for the survivors we encountered they had to tone down their deaths compared to the original like that one patient getting killed by the bonesaw doctor wasn't screaming when she was cutting him in the original
i love the remake but i gotta say the characters found in the og is something else. Like the blind girl who was hallucinating and the dude who was hitting his head. Like the characters felt more insane and crazy. I feel like the remake skipped the insanity and such characterization.
Remake's an improvement and adding the lore the original didn't mention is a good touch and things make much more sense now. Characters' motivations are better fleshed out and explained, ishimura's level design is accentuated even better (compliment to both old and new level design teams), which now feels like it would've been a real planet cra ker. What is sad though is how uninvested Isaac and Nicole's interactions seem. They just meet up and are like "oh Heya, what's up?". Imagine both Isaac and "Nicole" truly reuniting like lovers where one would otherwise lose all hope to see each other...at least embrace or something!
@@jak002av no it wasn’t, you were younger and didn’t except anything. Now you know what’s gonna happen. Also nostalgia is blinding you. This remake is amazing in every way
@@michaelalvarez8112 lol the old one is way better. better sound design, better necromorphs, better art direction. the remake is extremely flawed, recreating characters in a worse way
Its your nostalgia. You only remembered how you felt when you first experienced it. Now you know whats going to happen in the remake so it doesnt surprise you anymore.
as far as my favourite deaths go, has to be the security officers at first i was sad to see that the og wasnt remade into the new one, but having a lone survivor hold on that long after taking that blade to the chest is a beautiful scene in itself, though extremely sad. but ill always love the og, just walking into that room and having her muttering to herself and saying she was waiting for you and was saving a kinesis module for you def prepared me for the kind of game i was getting into, and ill always love those 2 characters
Remake is great but lacks some final touches to make it scarier. Example: - Crew #1. Very similar scenes, but the necromorph in the OG immediately jumps at you. However, in the remake the necromorph gets up too slowly. It doesn't close the distance fast enough for you to panic. - Crew #2. His final head bang isn't loud enough, and doesn't echo. Also there's that annoying background noise that muddles the sound of his head hitting the wall. Oddly enough, at 3:32 it fades out. - Security Officer. OG is creepy as hell. She's blind in both eyes, talking softly, and laughing a bit while holding her dead buddy's body as if he's still alive. Remake has similar structure, but she just says generic "hold the line" dialogue - Crew #3. OG laughs and keeps looking at you while holding something, and then cuts her throat. The throat slit was good in the remake, but I think if she was muttering to herself about healing her victim while cutting the still alive body and then cut her throat while looking directly at Isaac, that would have been creepier (think psychiatrist death in DS2). - Scientist. Background noise is weird in this. In the OG, the background noise has a high pitch that gets louder and louder as the scientist is brutally attacked, until the killing blow is delivered. The high pitch noise immediately stops, while in the remake it continues even after the scientist is dead.
That scientist with the baby was t-posing for me and then i go back there in chapter 11 to pick remaining loot and he's still standing there, t-posing. Such dedication
I like the random encounters shown early in the video alot better in the original. In the remake the first girl just says some random stuff and dies, nothing too special. And the girl behind the glass kills the infected person and kills herself and thats it. But the psychotic laughing and the coddling of what I assume to be a dead loved one in the original is what made those encounters good. Taking that out takes out all of the character the encounters originally had and takes a lot of the creep factor out too. When you see them in the original it's like damn even the survivors are going completely insane am I gonna have to deal with regular humans too? Am I gonna be able to trust anyone? But the remake is like well that girl died and this other one completely understandably kills herself, not really anything out of the ordinary here just generic horror game random encounters. You could make the argument they were still generic horror game random encounters before too but thats not the point. The point is the original had the creep factor of the encounters ramped up to another notch by making these survivors look like they would probably kill you too if they had the random urge to want to. Instead of either keeping it or even doubling down and making new enemies out of it they just ruined what made the encounters special and memorable in the first place.
Agreed 100%. There’s also the fact that the lighting in this game is so much brighter, especially during cutscenes that it takes away from the fear factor
Nah, the first girl always make me chuckle because it's more silly and cringe than anything. And above all... Look at this 2:40 This literally takes you out of the scene xD
The movie cliches of the remake just kill the vibe. Hammond is the best example of that, in the remake he gets a heroic sacrifice that was just missing the swelling orchestral accompaniment. In the original, it actually feels more like a _horror_ game, overwhelming, brutal, uncompromising, and it drives home just how easily and suddenly REAL death comes for people. Plus he still went out fighting in the original, so I honestly just don't get the change. It's like they were determined to stick to the old "former teammate comes back as a monster for a final confrontation" trope and decided that Chen needed to be a reoccurring threat across the ship. They were so determined, in fact, that they made Chen outright improbable. Not only does Chen pursue Hammond relentlessly without getting shot/blasted/killed in self-defense at any point in the whole adventure, and not only does he only manage to corner Hammond in the most dramatic place he possibly could, but it was Chen who destroyed the entire military force single-handed! Christ, that's one busy individual slasher, the Marker must have been overclocking that one.
bruh are you seriously saying a more nuanced storyline is worse than the "here's good, here's bad, here's ugly" of the original? The original couldn't be more cliche. They went with the different take for this one. And you don't know if Chen was the only one that killed all of the chip. We can see his escape pod crashed on the valor, so it might've taken out a couple soldiers and made his job a lot easier. Plus, this was in the original too.
The original was annoying, you have an arsenal full of plasma cutters, explosives and heavy duty mining tools but you have to sit and watch behind very breakable glass. It's still annoying and dumb in the remake but at least it happens faster here.
I don't think it was actually Chen though, the Marker was making everyone hallucinate. It knew Hammond was very close to Chen, to him it probably just looked like his friend whereas we know that it's just another necromorph.
Why did the remake tone down the gore so much in some areas, yet kept it fine in others? It's like they tried to tone it down for the remake, but realised halfway through that it was supposed to be one of the game's selling points. And why does Nicole look so old? She looks like she's in her 50's.
Haven’t played the remake but I have played the original. It was never the goriness of the death scenes that made them scary, it was the delivery. There is only so much fear you can wring out of dismembering NPCs when you spend the full game dismembering Necromorphs left, right, and center. At some point the player is going to realize that Isaac Clarke is the deadliest thing in the Ishimura and the game’s death scenes address this by making you feel powerless to save the crew or your comrades and highlighting how the ship has increasingly gone to hell.
The things that stood out to me are things like the opening necro chase down the hall, they were on your ass and attacking which makes you panic and barely escape with little health. In the remake, you just kind of run to the elevator unharmed. When Mercer blasts Temple while in stasis, his hair suddenly disappears for no reason, which made me laugh. Nicole's jump scare at the end was more effective in the original and got me every time. The remake, not so much. For some reason the hunter feels more threatening and relentless in the original, but maybe that part is just me.
yeah nah, Nicole’s jumpscare definitely wouldn’t and I bet it didn’t get you every time, one reason is you barley tell what the hell is going because all the symbols and light literally ruin the jumpscare. And also one BIG reason you didn’t get jumpscared by Nicole in the remake is because you knew it was coming and the fact it was less intense.
You are not alone in that. Honestly, in too many ways, the writing, the characters and the plot are somehow all worse off in the remake. Sure, the gameplay's improvements from Dead Space 2 made this game better in that regard. But otherwise the entire story of the remake feels like a watered down lesser version.
In the OG Deadspace the necromorph in the space pod is treated like an afterthought at the very beginning of the game. LATER ON the ship that tries to help the Ishimura collects the escape pod in good faith and to everyone's surprise that's the same pod with a necromorph on it whuch helps the infection spread. It's not supposed to be a particular necromorph, that's what makes the new version corny. They're being too precise with the ambiguity of the marker.
Здрасте. Экипаж USM «Valor» не собирался оказывать помощь USG «Ishimura». Прочитайте про это в Wiki, если вам интересно. Прошу прощения за назойливость.
I’m 9 hours into the new dead space remaster, my first ever time playing dead space and my god is it terrifying. They do so well with the noise effects.
The guy smashing his head off the wall looks better in the first one I'm not saying that the second is crap it just looks more gruesome in the first plus in some areas the sounds are better in the original but overall it's a fantastic remake.
I’m replaying the old dead space and I finally figured it out. The ambience. The screams in the distance and the echos of monsters in vents is what the remake is missing. It’s too quiet and too much music
Maybe I’m being biased but I really feel like the characters have been watered down. Like look at Hammond! In the OG he was more concerned bout getting everyone out, still being a leader, giving out orders and putting everyone else first. The line “Isaac dont wait for me” speaks volumes, even more after when he saw its a brute he’s facing with. Still chose to go out swinging even tho it did nothing. The remake he just seemed so helpless and panicked like he’s not a hardened soldier and above all he dies for letting his guard down. He’s been alive on the ship fighting these monsters that look like Chen for hours yet he still hesitated and turned his back. Just doesn’t feel like Hammond to me
EA: So our stock is not doing so hot. We need a new IP to boost sales. Make a Horror game. Devs:We can't come up with original ideas. We are corporate slaves with no love for gaming. EA:That's right and if you want to feed your families and have a roof over your head then make me something I can peddle to the new generation. Devs: OK, here is a remake that absolutely no one asked for and already has a solid trilogy. EA: THATS THE SOUND OF MONEY
Not so solid trilogy, Dead Space 3 was pretty unnecessary despite the lore being great (I feel like the Brethren Moon was one of the very few things that were in the original development that made it to the end). The Remake is clearly hinting at the sequels and we are 99% gonna get Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 Remade as well (hell, NG+ has one log that talks about life on the Sprawl and another one that mentions the Tau Volantis aliens, not to mention a message around the ship that can be translated into "Turn It Off", which ties to the whole Tau Volantis Moon thing). EA is not making money on something no one asked for, they have the opportunity to fix a series and they are taking it.
I like Hammond’s death in the original more because he dies “like a soldier,” telling Isaac not to wait for him, even when he realizes that he is in great danger. On the other hand, I like the idea that Hammond actually dies out of great devotion to his team. But they didn’t push through with the second one in the remake, which is why Hammond died more like a sentimental idiot than a squad leader, unable to come to terms with the fact that he had completely lost this very squad
Most people forget that they are playing a "Horror" game not a DOOM game, reducing the scary level in the game is similar to completely removing the scary scenes in the first "Alien" movie. .
I've played Dead Space multiple times and there are times when I forget some encounters, so for me that just makes it fun and terrifying to play through again
3:25 something interesting about my game. My laptop doesn’t run this game that well but it can still run it. I believe that due to my graphics not being the best it caused a bug with the guy banging his head on the wall and caused him to never play his death animation. So now whenever I come back to this area he is still banging his head on the wall. I saved this man’s life at the cost of him being really annoyed by something.
Dr Kyne in the Original: Lets get out of here Isaac! We don't have time to waste we have to... Dr Kyne in the Remake: Oh hey Isaac Daniels is waiting for us inside the Ship. So I'm just gonna stand here like a mannequin and wait to get shot
One thing i think that goes kinda understated is how much better the voice acting is in the remake, all the characters feel so much more real. As well as Isaac responding to what's going on is a great touch
I swear you people kill me how do they sound better ? Daniels in the original legit made me think Hammond was the bad guy and I never expected her betrayal where in the remake she sounds like a lifeless robot used to getting stuck in space with undead alien monsters 😂
Intro is better in remake. Chen death is better in the remake. The dude hitting his head on the wall is better in OG. Security officer is better in remake since it fits a security officer death MUCH more, the original is amazing but feels more like something you should see in the crew quarters or something.(like that officer they shoots herself in the remake but doesn’t appear here for some reason) Kyne pretty much just got a graphics update lol Hammond…I like how out of nowhere his death is in the original, you don’t expect it, plus it leads to a mini boss fight and is way more brutal. However, the new one really shows how much the marker messes with your head, that “what” right before Chen gets him is so sad and Hammond goes out like a badass by taking Chen with him by using his last bit of sanity. Mercer is so much better in remake but his death is so lame in the new one and it’s mainly because we don’t see him die, would have been cool if the tentacle slammed him or something. Nicole’s death hits much harder in remake if you’ve followed her quest. Kendra in OG is satisfying to the max, Kendra in remake is so sad…she made sense and I really liked her character here. I’m convinced humanity would be alive if she managed to do what she wanted. The final jumpscare is 19474929483829529482885582991% better in the original.
Sure the remake looks nice and all but I still think atmosphere, story and horror whise that the original is superior. There are just things they changed that doesnt make sense at all. Like hammonds death or the additional charackter they added for the ending. I assume they wanted to give more insight on how the necromorphs are created with hammond calling the name of the crewmember. But at this point the player already knows all that. In the original his death happens more fitting to the charackter. Also they changed how chatackters like kenrda and dr kayne behave which makes them feel different. Nicole was also behaving different in the original. She is talking with a way different tone to her voice which just feels different and sets another atmosphere. Also some design choices are questionable, like making nicole look like a grandma and issac like ...well idk what I should call that .Looks aside from the silent protagonist and no cut scene gameplay from the original which they changed in the remake.
Although the 2023 version is better in terms of visual quality and realistic supplementary explanations. As a horror game, the eerie sounds and bizarre atmosphere were better done in the old version.
The remake version shows efforts to present the characters in an attractive way. However, I don't know if it was due to the effort, but it was the older version that brought out the horror elements well by paralyzing reason due to fear or creating a desperate situation. People who are less scared or whose tastes are far from horror will be more attracted to the 2023 version, but for me personally, the vain and gruesome death of Hammond, who was the leader, gave stasis to Isaac, thinking that his acquaintance was alive without any trace of resistance. I prefer a story where the main character, like the female passenger who died, is placed in a more miserable and miserable environment and escapes there on her own.
Bravery is a charm, but this is a horror game. Isaac experienced countless human deaths and tragic deaths in Ishimura, and because the deaths were three-dimensional, I was able to become more immersed in him suffering from Dementia. The production of the prepared plasma cutter and the courageous fight against the Negromorph... I think this game is biased towards adventure material. These idiots at EA don't seem to have learned anything from Dead Space 3. They still didn't understand horror properly.
I haven't played the new one but hammond wasn't dumb he knew he didn't haven't a chance against that brute but died guns ablazing but also could fight off a lot of other types of necromorphs including the fast one's he's the one who gave you the intel on them so on the new one how he gets killed basically saying he's a moron 🐺
I respect that developers wanted a better death for hammond but i like his death in the first version. They send us a message when he dies with the brute... "Theres no hope for those who are out there in dead space"

Damn. Hammond went out like a boss BOTH times
You missed Mercer's death.
Back in OG, he turns into a necromorph (you can kill the infector grabbing him if you're fast enough and deny him convergence, but he dies as if the infector killed him regardless of your actions)
In Remake, he is killed by a tentacle and never turned (on screen, at least)
One of the only deaths made worse
Or in other case it got better
Mercer was so pissed that his Hunter got destroyed and denied convergence
@@guts-141 Did he tho, he got turned into soup so in a way hes one with all
@@isarke7042 he died unable to witness it
Just saying
His death was so anticlimactic and stupid in the remake
Not sure why people keep complaining about the scare factor, the original dead space was to some extent a very unique game and terrifying, however once you played it once and completed it the whole scare factor was gone because you knew when it was coming so what did you expect from the remake when it’s still following the original very closely
^ They’ve got a point, y’know.
good point the director completely changes everything, enemies, item spawn, light scintillations every new game ive done its pretty different.
I mean they litteraly "killed" the scare factor that people where expeting to meet . That begin with the main character talking , taking off his helmet in some interaction with npc . Some character remplaced for other some scène changed ,some deleted and remplaced .... even the weapon feels différent . We aren't saying that the game is bad , but what justify so much change for a *remake* . The overhall ambiance is still here but is different from what people expérienced from the OG
Honestly, the scare factor only lasted the first third to half. Once you've gotten upgrades and started dismembering everything, not trusting vents, exc so much of the actual fear is gone from the game.
So is Chen the guy who gets killed by the window? How come I didn't know he became infected?
Hammonds death in OG dead space was like a tribute I think to Michael Altman (unwilling founder of unitology) in the book. He was locked in a room with an insurmountable brute with and a spoon that he sharpened against a wall into a shiv much like Hammond with his rifle. I think that image invokes a more powerful sense of how outclassed we are by the necromorphs. Lets remember the sole necromorph in a shuttle took down the valor
Other way around. The book came out after the first game.
That' was more necromorph plot armor than anything....I mean how easy even with a pulse rifle on the hardest difficult is a Necro? Not hard at all. And the Valor was a full ship filled with soldiers.. Surely someone would hit their mark...
@@mrdrebin123 remember necromorphs can absorb a bunch of body shots, the soldiers on the ship most likely went for the head and body not the limbs so the necromorph would have had time to slaughter before they realized that they had to dismember it
@@mrdrebin123their weapons were probably stowed, giving it time to kill a bunch of soldiers before they could even get armed. I doubt it murdered the entire ship anyway, after the valor crashed Necromorphs probably boarded and mopped up the rest. Just a theory though, because I thought the same thing you did.
I think the necromorph targeted the pilots of the ship causing it to crash
In the final boss, Isaac taunting is pretty much how the old players who replay the game will felt like instead of scared they more of less "Bring it! And get some". A metaphorical sense of the old players. We don't scared, we just want to squished bunch of necros into soup.
Eh, I wouldn’t quite say that. The line was definitely badass, but remake Isaac wasn’t acting out of any sort of confidence. Dude says it himself: he’s got nothing left to live for, and probably didn’t even expect to survive. Original gave the vibe of “I’ve beaten every other Necromorph abomination and you’re next.” Remake is “Everyone is dead, but I won’t join them without a fight!”
@@GoldLight73 I do agree with your view.
I would say though that Isaac at times in the game seems to be WAY to calm. I like the voice acting, and I like that he feels more proactive due to it.
Considering what he sees in the game it is strange how calm he seems in most situations. Like "yeah, I`ll deal with that", especially in the beginning when he would propably still be freaking out.
@@Rakshiir Yeah, I can definitely see that. For me I just chalk it up to Isaac being good at keeping his cool under pressure, but Kendra and even Hammond definitely seem way more torn up about the whole thing in the first couple of hours.
@@GoldLight73 i think everyone was to focused on surviving, so they were more focused on killing whatever they came across then being scared
We don’t scared?💀
I think at the final when Nicole jumpscares you the original one is better it got me the soul out Jesus
Definitely was better in the original. Hells, even re-watching it after some time got me good.
They probably toned it down to not scare the newer players too hard, but yeah we missed out on that screech of death
The original jump-scare Nicole was better than the remake
Yup
@@dickkickem4459yup i almost Thor my controller not gnna lie
I really like both versions of Hammonds death. In the remake, he cares a lot more about Chen, like a leader would do. And the marker psychologically destroyed him, but he could turn his last moments with his willpower. Which has a heroic but also a kitchy side.
The old one gave you hope by meeting him after a long time again and then your hope gets completly destroyed after you are forced to see your best friend gets teared apart like nothing.
I think the old one is more harsh and cold which I prefer.
yeah the old one seems to go better with the general, merciless theme of dead space.
@@JudgeMad Lol you could say the new one goes more with the actual lore of dead space. The marker manipulated Hammond into seeing what it wanted him to see and it got him killed.
The first video, Hammond is somehow immune from the effects of the marker
@@Emot10ns he wasn't immune he mentioned seeing things
i definitely agree with you on this
@@Emot10ns Hammond wasn't dumb and knew, pretty much the same effect wise as Issac since they both arrived at the same time so he shouldn't have been losing it that hard especially when he saw Chen get mauled by a literal monster.
Captain Mathius's death in the remake follows the animated movie closely. Make it more seems accidental.
I don't like that change so much as the original version because the captain diving on the doc makes it more an accident, but the original gives a hint that the doctor is mentally compromised in not being able to judge his treatment.
I felt like the remake made things more heroic and cinematic. Main characters died like main characters with impactful emotional deaths, but I like the original better. The deaths in the original felt like important people to you died hopeless, helpless, and sudden deaths that left you little to no time to react. Those sudden deaths felt all more real because you had no time to think, you acted as a sole survivor. Isaac wasn't well after the Ishimura, he was hopeless to save anyone and carried that trauma of the first game into the sequels.
Just my personal opinion.
yea the game is just more generic like this
End result is the same though, yeah? Issac saves no one, not even Kendra who he was still willing to help at the end. Whether you go out like a badass like Hammond or a chump like Chen, you still go out.
I disagree fully bro. It never once made sense that Issac was the only one who was competent. everyone else was nothing but a victim and it didn't make sense. Now hammond and especially temple, don’t come off as absolute chumps. Dude and Chen's death in the original was so bad now he actually looks like he tried to defend himself. They all look like they at least TRY to defend themselves.
@@brettvonklock3206 Valid opinion. I like to view it less as they were incompetent as much as they'd never dealt with a Necromorph outbreak before therefor they were ill equipped and vastly overwhelmed by and unknown enemy.
@@alcatrazthatguyontheintern1465 that is true competent wasn't entirely the right word and Issac's armor helps him not get ripped apart immediately, but I still prefer that people in the remake have slightly more fight in them and attempt to fight back a little. Temple was the big one for me. His death made me so uncomfortable in the original not bc it was scary, but because he was so helpless and at mercer's mercy. In the remake it was equally as uncomfortable, and now he tries to fight back.
Mad respect for Hammond for going down with a bang in his remake death
I prefer the original one but yeah it looks pretty cool.
@@Xenorvya shut up with your nostalgia. In the original. Hammond is just killed by a brute. He is more fleshed out in the remake.
@@renaicirculation4143 Why so toxic when someone doesn't have the same opinion as you? I just prefer the original death scene. Besides, I ain't a sucker for Dead Space, so, no nostalgia factor, I just prefer the old death scene.
I don't prefer a version more than the other, but if I did, you'd probably get angry at that and make a long argument about "how shitty the original is".
Not a troll but the original was a shitty way for a good character to go. It was kinda torturous the way they killed him, so definitely a better death for him.
@@renaicirculation4143 why so toxic lmao people can have different opinions🤡
Chen: It's a tie, both deaths are very brutal if you ask me.
Chase: Not listed there, but I prefer the OG, all the shaking and the Necros attacking is very nerve wracking
Crew 1: Remake, no question. What a way to go
Officer: Tie. The first one gives that creepy weird factor with all that scene, however the second one she literally died alone, not knowing what else was gonna happen except that she was alone, had a hand trusted in her chest and was traumatized.
Crew 2: I probably go with OG though
Crew 3: Remake. No doubts. Evjerything of it is disturbing, even if the OG has the bigger knife.
Scientist: Tie, there is not really that much difference.
Mathius: The Remake. May not be as bloody but I like that I can see what was happening. I really don't like all that static happening all the time.
Human Necro: Remake. It should be obvious.
Hammond: It's a tie. The first one is definetly the most brutal, the second one does give a little more depth about he and Chen's friendship while still having a gory death.
Temple: God, this one I can't choose. But ways are still brutal. Being chained and getting a knife in the head is not pretty at all, but also having a slow dead like that? I want to say the Remake but the OG still works.
Kyne: Tie. Nothing much changes.
Nicole: I say the OG is better.
Daniels: While I still prefer the OG, I like how Isaac just didn't want to be the only survivor and even wanted to escape with Daniels by that point. Still prefer the OG.
Ending: Not really sure to be honest. While the Remake has a weak jumpscare, the idea of "Nicole" sitting next to Isaac looking is down right scary. The OG has the better jumpscare though.
Daniels' body flying and getting torn apart due to the sheer impact on the wall in the OG was great :P
Not much difference in the "Scientist" the remake literally has his hand stuck to the window even after death.
Be honest Kendra was a bitch, in the original she got that and we all glad, Daniels in the Remake didnt want to left Isaac, she even hoped Isaac will get out from there, so we kinda had sympathy for her, also we should note that Kyne death in original was more tragic because he was Unitologist who understood that bullshit, also Mercer was maniac who thought he was doing right thing, in the Remake he was sane.
I like the secret ending added to the Remake, really adds on to Isaac’s behavior in Dead Space 2
I somewhat prefer the animation work on Isaac during the Final Battle in the OG.
Just seems... well, pretty good.
I like hammond’s in the remake better than the original, in the original he didn’t have a chance at all. In the remake he went out like a champ. RIP to a good soldier
To be fair, the original gave it a more sense of helplessness that any regular human will eventually be overwhelmed by the Necromorphs, along with showing their violent nature and cold malicious intentions.
But the remake did a good job including Issac's reactions. Bless Gunner Wright
@@asdtgh8895 yeah
@@asdtgh8895 yeah

@@iancortescontreras6084blackspeed
I like how Hammond is more affected by the marker and had a more of an attachment to Chen but I liked how brutal Hammonds death was in the Orginal especially since we lost contact with him right before then. But they are both good, kind of wish there was a way to combine both.
I think they could've had him partner up with Isaac to take down a Brute and have Hammond sacrifice himself to take it down.
I think his strong attachment for Chen was the marker increasing Hammond's need to be a leader and care for his people, only it tried twisting his good character. Kind of like Cap's soldier serum.
@@DHGxMcFlurry That would be cool if Hammond felt the same about Isaac and Kendra. Or that nameless chick who died in the explosion from the beginning. But nah he hyper focused on Chen. It was poorly executed.
In the OG game the necromorph in the space pod is treated like an afterthought at the very beginning of the game. LATER ON the ship that tries to help the Ishimura collects the escape pod in good faith and to everyone's surprise that's the same pod with a necromorph on it. It's not supposed to be a particular necromorph, that's what makes the new version corny. They're being too precise with the ambiguity of the marker.
Realising that Temple was looking at you in the latter part of him being in stasis...
That was the first thing I noticed. Last thing Jacob Temple sees is Isaac just before having his brains blown out, i thought that scene was powerful just in the fact alone
Probably was thinking oh someone actually sent help
2:40 I died when that ragdoll kicked in too 😂💀
x2
Looking at this really brings home how much the original 2008 game STILL holds up.
One thing that I cannot let pass is why the devs did not added that face palm on the helmet when Isaac realizes that Nicole is dead in the remake. It adds more emotion. In the remake feels a little odd. I though he was going to cry or something sad. Imagine you realize that your loved died and you thought he or she was alive. How would you react?
Probably to make it more consistent with DS2 as Issac was still hallucinating Nicole and did not get over her death till the end of that game
@@corrputgamer Yeah but multiple times throughout that game he fights her knowing she's not real.
I’d react in shock, not even being able to process such a thing. Which is exactly how Isaac in the remake reacts.
From what I saw from the remake he knew she was dead from the get go he was just in severe denial. Also am I the only one who thinks remake Isaac looks like Zuckerburg.
Yeah, I expected him to have a bit more of a vocal reaction at least. He actually stops in his tracks to scream at stross in dead space 2, but can’t react when the love of his life kills herself on only fans?
Yeah, the slow-paced bits with the more detailed psychological breakdowns are a fair bit better. That's not to say the remake didn't do a good job on that front, but it's still more hard-hitting in the originals.
How so? Personally I think the remake did a better job fleshing out the characters and their motivations the side missions were awesome. Altho I do wish they were actual missions instead of one room detours lol. Mercer in particular feels far more vindictive and calculating. Less a fanatic and more of a doctor gone mad. His experiments on the person that became the hunter and Nicole’s attempts to stop him were a great addition.
@@aramk2663 That it did very well! By the time the whole thing was over, the characters were greatly more defined, it's just that there are several points, the retrieval of the stasis unit, the guy banging his head against the wall, the woman performing pseudo-surgery in medical, and the biggest one the Nicole jumpscare. In the original each of those moments felt... I don't know how to describe it. While the remake's scary moments were certainly still effective, they just didn't feel as authentic as the originals.
Like another commenter brought up, it is a possibility that you just didn't know in the originals, what was going to happen next, and then when you replay them, it's nostalgia that keeps the tension up. As a result, in the remake, you don't get the same feeling because it's neither unexpected, nor is it what you remember.
@@paytonkraft7564 I 100% understand what ur putting down. The first time I played the original I was like 13 and those scenes were SUPER unnerving and great for it. The first time the divider lumbered around that corner I almost shit myself. Unfortunately, everytime i come back they also feel a little flatter, remake and original included. I think it’s just having seen them before+getting older+desensitized. Still tho this remake is a fantastic foundation for the next 2 games. I hope they expand on the dynamic sounds and maybe add in some new enemies. A system that randomly inserts certain events and encounters would be fantastic and keep the play throughs fresher.
@@aramk2663 Yeah, I can get behind that. You see the same jumpscare enough times it stops being scary, but dang if it don't get you good the first one or two times, you know?
i will say I feel the rig flatlining noise is much more prominent in the original which I kinda like as it give more emphasis on "yes that person is dead n whats coming back is gonna be something else" even if the noise felt rather delayed in some instances. I just didnt hear the flatline as much in the remake versions.
I noticed that the sound in the remake at times seemed lower, especially you fight the Hive Mind. In the original game the Hive Mind sounds deafening but in the remake at times I can barely hear it.
Something I really hate is that so many deaths could have been prevented by Isaac simply shooting through the easily breakable glass. You see necromorphs shatter glass in cutscenes all the time, so it definitely isn't bulletproof. Also dumb how Mercer's stasis in the remake lasts like ten minutes while he's monologuing, and he does it more than once!
Isaac doesn’t shoot bullets, it’s mostly plasma projectiles which cut extremely well but don’t plow through anything like a bullet would. Necromorphs on the other hand, are dummy strong
Also Mercer uses a special variant of stasis while he’s monologuing. You can unlock it through a side quest giving you additional freeze time
@@Minimaidenist Plasma?...I'm sorry do you know what Plasma is and a Plasma cutter..I'd take the bullet any time. The Plasma cutter is literally industrial equipment used to cut through Iron, Steel and Titanium...That's why it just plows through flesh, it melts and cuts like a damn Laser sword. Consider it a Lightsaber but it's being shot at you. It would easily go through windows. That's the only grief there is with dead space, that Plot armor of helplessness, or the always somehow being alone plot armor, where no matter how stupid the idea, you're always dealing with something alone, and there's for some reason no one around. (thinking of DS2 where there's more than ample oppertunity to be near others):
@@mrdrebin123I think we should understand materials in Dead Space by their futuristic setting. What I mean by this is, we know for example military equipment is terrible against slashes, which is why Necromorphs kill militaries so easily. So, it could make sense that glasses, being an industrial facility, were made to resist insane temperatures, which is what the plasma cutter basically does, cut through temperature. It doesn't make any sense in a gameplay-ish way anyhow, because Isaac still got the Pulse Rifle which could easily break through glass, or the Rail Gun which is literally made to mine asteroids.
@@Minimaidenisthe literally has the force gun, pulse rifle, and ripper all of which use ballistics and concussive forces that would easily shatter.
Just realized they made chen get killed off in the opening scene. But in the original it was Johnston to get killed off first.
You can still see Chen go down in the background of that scene, but there's no attention drawn to it, around 0:13 in the back.
@@217adaptiveperspective just now noticed that there are two flatline sounds.
@@bmackcornbread1158
Yeah, Chen gets such a nothing death in the original that most people thought he died offscreen after Hammond and Kendra escaped the room.
The only criticism I have is that some of the animations don't have the same impact as the original, especially in the scene with the Hive Mind's tentacles coming down at full force and encircling Isaac very quickly.

It's amazing how often I just... forget that I'm looking at the original and not the remake in some of these clips, and then it cuts to the remake and it still somehow looks even better.
Honestly, it's a testament to both of these game's quality
In the original the necros chase you to the elevator. In the remake they stop halfway down the last stretch and go back into the vents every time.
I’ve had them chase me right to the end in the remake.
Hammond death on the original game is way more brutal than the remake one.
I see that the necromorphs in original are a lot faster and scarier
They removed the scariest necromorph in the entire franchise
Especially the sound.

@@eagle219406 wont change the fact animation looks a bit sassy,not man-timidating like in original.
I miss Dr. Kyne’s old voice and when Nicole didn’t look more hideous than the necromorphs.
i love the remake but i gotta say the characters found in the og is something else. Like the blind girl who was hallucinating and the dude who was hitting his head. Like the characters felt more insane and crazy. I feel like the remake skipped the insanity and such characterization.
15:34 anyone notice that Nicole is smiling while Kendra is holding her at gunpoint? I find that unsettling. The illusion I mean.
Remake's an improvement and adding the lore the original didn't mention is a good touch and things make much more sense now. Characters' motivations are better fleshed out and explained, ishimura's level design is accentuated even better (compliment to both old and new level design teams), which now feels like it would've been a real planet cra ker.
What is sad though is how uninvested Isaac and Nicole's interactions seem. They just meet up and are like "oh Heya, what's up?".
Imagine both Isaac and "Nicole" truly reuniting like lovers where one would otherwise lose all hope to see each other...at least embrace or something!

as far as my favourite deaths go, has to be the security officers
at first i was sad to see that the og wasnt remade into the new one, but having a lone survivor hold on that long after taking that blade to the chest is a beautiful scene in itself, though extremely sad. but ill always love the og, just walking into that room and having her muttering to herself and saying she was waiting for you and was saving a kinesis module for you def prepared me for the kind of game i was getting into, and ill always love those 2 characters
Remake is great but lacks some final touches to make it scarier. Example:
- Crew #1. Very similar scenes, but the necromorph in the OG immediately jumps at you. However, in the remake the necromorph gets up too slowly. It doesn't close the distance fast enough for you to panic.
- Crew #2. His final head bang isn't loud enough, and doesn't echo. Also there's that annoying background noise that muddles the sound of his head hitting the wall. Oddly enough, at 3:32 it fades out.
- Security Officer. OG is creepy as hell. She's blind in both eyes, talking softly, and laughing a bit while holding her dead buddy's body as if he's still alive. Remake has similar structure, but she just says generic "hold the line" dialogue
- Crew #3. OG laughs and keeps looking at you while holding something, and then cuts her throat. The throat slit was good in the remake, but I think if she was muttering to herself about healing her victim while cutting the still alive body and then cut her throat while looking directly at Isaac, that would have been creepier (think psychiatrist death in DS2).
- Scientist. Background noise is weird in this. In the OG, the background noise has a high pitch that gets louder and louder as the scientist is brutally attacked, until the killing blow is delivered. The high pitch noise immediately stops, while in the remake it continues even after the scientist is dead.
That scientist with the baby was t-posing for me and then i go back there in chapter 11 to pick remaining loot and he's still standing there, t-posing. Such dedication
I think I like the original scenes better, they just feel more right
I like the random encounters shown early in the video alot better in the original. In the remake the first girl just says some random stuff and dies, nothing too special. And the girl behind the glass kills the infected person and kills herself and thats it. But the psychotic laughing and the coddling of what I assume to be a dead loved one in the original is what made those encounters good. Taking that out takes out all of the character the encounters originally had and takes a lot of the creep factor out too. When you see them in the original it's like damn even the survivors are going completely insane am I gonna have to deal with regular humans too? Am I gonna be able to trust anyone? But the remake is like well that girl died and this other one completely understandably kills herself, not really anything out of the ordinary here just generic horror game random encounters. You could make the argument they were still generic horror game random encounters before too but thats not the point. The point is the original had the creep factor of the encounters ramped up to another notch by making these survivors look like they would probably kill you too if they had the random urge to want to. Instead of either keeping it or even doubling down and making new enemies out of it they just ruined what made the encounters special and memorable in the first place.
Agreed 100%. There’s also the fact that the lighting in this game is so much brighter, especially during cutscenes that it takes away from the fear factor
Nah, the first girl always make me chuckle because it's more silly and cringe than anything. And above all... Look at this 2:40 This literally takes you out of the scene xD
The original had better voice acting and video/audio logs, it felt more like a movie.
THANK YOU!
There is hope for convergeance afterall
The movie cliches of the remake just kill the vibe. Hammond is the best example of that, in the remake he gets a heroic sacrifice that was just missing the swelling orchestral accompaniment. In the original, it actually feels more like a _horror_ game, overwhelming, brutal, uncompromising, and it drives home just how easily and suddenly REAL death comes for people. Plus he still went out fighting in the original, so I honestly just don't get the change.
It's like they were determined to stick to the old "former teammate comes back as a monster for a final confrontation" trope and decided that Chen needed to be a reoccurring threat across the ship. They were so determined, in fact, that they made Chen outright improbable. Not only does Chen pursue Hammond relentlessly without getting shot/blasted/killed in self-defense at any point in the whole adventure, and not only does he only manage to corner Hammond in the most dramatic place he possibly could, but it was Chen who destroyed the entire military force single-handed! Christ, that's one busy individual slasher, the Marker must have been overclocking that one.
bruh are you seriously saying a more nuanced storyline is worse than the "here's good, here's bad, here's ugly" of the original? The original couldn't be more cliche. They went with the different take for this one. And you don't know if Chen was the only one that killed all of the chip. We can see his escape pod crashed on the valor, so it might've taken out a couple soldiers and made his job a lot easier. Plus, this was in the original too.
Remake Hammond is a joke
@@YouYubeEnjoyerNum1 More nuance doesn't mean good when it's nothing but predictable cliche after predictable cliche.
The original was annoying, you have an arsenal full of plasma cutters, explosives and heavy duty mining tools but you have to sit and watch behind very breakable glass. It's still annoying and dumb in the remake but at least it happens faster here.
I don't think it was actually Chen though, the Marker was making everyone hallucinate. It knew Hammond was very close to Chen, to him it probably just looked like his friend whereas we know that it's just another necromorph.
ill never understand why they made nicole a granny in the remake.
Look at isaac, he is granny himself. So tbh its just normal couple in their 30+. But we will never forget our nicole
They made her looks simular to Nicole in ds 2, I guess.
actually Isaac was 43 not 30's.
Why did the remake tone down the gore so much in some areas, yet kept it fine in others? It's like they tried to tone it down for the remake, but realised halfway through that it was supposed to be one of the game's selling points.
And why does Nicole look so old? She looks like she's in her 50's.
To be fair. Canonically her and isacc are around their mid-late 40s during the first game
It’s because her actor is in her 50’s, I am not entirely sure though. And it’s not really a big of a deal.
Also in the OG Dead space Nicole looked WAY to young for Isaac even then they aged her in Dead Space 2 in the same recording
@@alvaroprieto6700 she can't be too young if they're both adults
Tbf, Isaac also looks a lot older too. In the original he looked like he was in his 20s or early 30s - though he actually looks like a middle aged man
I prefer Kendra's original death scene over the remake. Seeing her get slammed against the building after her betrayal was fitting.
Tbh its was earned . That bitch needed a trade off with her betrayal . What a dirty backstabber !
I completely forgot she died in the original because how forgettable her death was.

Haven’t played the remake but I have played the original. It was never the goriness of the death scenes that made them scary, it was the delivery. There is only so much fear you can wring out of dismembering NPCs when you spend the full game dismembering Necromorphs left, right, and center. At some point the player is going to realize that Isaac Clarke is the deadliest thing in the Ishimura and the game’s death scenes address this by making you feel powerless to save the crew or your comrades and highlighting how the ship has increasingly gone to hell.
The things that stood out to me are things like the opening necro chase down the hall, they were on your ass and attacking which makes you panic and barely escape with little health. In the remake, you just kind of run to the elevator unharmed. When Mercer blasts Temple while in stasis, his hair suddenly disappears for no reason, which made me laugh. Nicole's jump scare at the end was more effective in the original and got me every time. The remake, not so much. For some reason the hunter feels more threatening and relentless in the original, but maybe that part is just me.
yeah nah, Nicole’s jumpscare definitely wouldn’t and I bet it didn’t get you every time, one reason is you barley tell what the hell is going because all the symbols and light literally ruin the jumpscare. And also one BIG reason you didn’t get jumpscared by Nicole in the remake is because you knew it was coming and the fact it was less intense.
You are not alone in that.
Honestly, in too many ways, the writing, the characters and the plot are somehow all worse off in the remake.
Sure, the gameplay's improvements from Dead Space 2 made this game better in that regard. But otherwise the entire story of the remake feels like a watered down lesser version.
Dude! I just realized kyne saw Daniels as Amelia and she manipulated him! 🤯
In the OG Deadspace the necromorph in the space pod is treated like an afterthought at the very beginning of the game. LATER ON the ship that tries to help the Ishimura collects the escape pod in good faith and to everyone's surprise that's the same pod with a necromorph on it whuch helps the infection spread. It's not supposed to be a particular necromorph, that's what makes the new version corny. They're being too precise with the ambiguity of the marker.
Здрасте. Экипаж USM «Valor» не собирался оказывать помощь USG «Ishimura». Прочитайте про это в Wiki, если вам интересно. Прошу прощения за назойливость.
Mad respect to the voice actors , they did a wonderful job
I like how Isaac makes an attempt to save Kendra in the remake
I’m 9 hours into the new dead space remaster, my first ever time playing dead space and my god is it terrifying. They do so well with the noise effects.
Nicole was prettier in 2008 )
yeah...remake surely turned her into woman in late 40's.
i feel like all the deaths in the remake were more dramatic while the originals were more brutal
2:40 that killed ALL the disturbingness out of the scene XD
It somebody Knows Why EA They don't use Dr.Kyne Original Voice actor I like it More
The guy smashing his head off the wall looks better in the first one I'm not saying that the second is crap it just looks more gruesome in the first plus in some areas the sounds are better in the original but overall it's a fantastic remake.
13:50 "Nicole's a doctor she'll do the smart thing."
Nicole:
I’m replaying the old dead space and I finally figured it out. The ambience. The screams in the distance and the echos of monsters in vents is what the remake is missing. It’s too quiet and too much music
Funniest thing to the remake is at the start its not as intense and you can just walk all the way to the elevator
Maybe I’m being biased but I really feel like the characters have been watered down. Like look at Hammond! In the OG he was more concerned bout getting everyone out, still being a leader, giving out orders and putting everyone else first. The line “Isaac dont wait for me” speaks volumes, even more after when he saw its a brute he’s facing with. Still chose to go out swinging even tho it did nothing. The remake he just seemed so helpless and panicked like he’s not a hardened soldier and above all he dies for letting his guard down. He’s been alive on the ship fighting these monsters that look like Chen for hours yet he still hesitated and turned his back. Just doesn’t feel like Hammond to me
That original flatline sound is still horrifying.
Although the first dead space aged very well, I still prefer the remake in any way.
Hammonds sacrafice in the remake is fire
Honestly it was all handled much better in the remake
I think they should have kept Isaac grabbing his head as he watched Nicole die, it felt very humanizing.
EA: So our stock is not doing so hot. We need a new IP to boost sales. Make a Horror game.
Devs:We can't come up with original ideas. We are corporate slaves with no love for gaming.
EA:That's right and if you want to feed your families and have a roof over your head then make me something I can peddle to the new generation.
Devs: OK, here is a remake that absolutely no one asked for and already has a solid trilogy.
EA: THATS THE SOUND OF MONEY
Not so solid trilogy, Dead Space 3 was pretty unnecessary despite the lore being great (I feel like the Brethren Moon was one of the very few things that were in the original development that made it to the end).
The Remake is clearly hinting at the sequels and we are 99% gonna get Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 Remade as well (hell, NG+ has one log that talks about life on the Sprawl and another one that mentions the Tau Volantis aliens, not to mention a message around the ship that can be translated into "Turn It Off", which ties to the whole Tau Volantis Moon thing).
EA is not making money on something no one asked for, they have the opportunity to fix a series and they are taking it.
The remake should have kept the smearing sound effect when the guy bashes his head against the wall made it more visceral
jumpscared in original is better.
I like Hammond’s death in the original more because he dies “like a soldier,” telling Isaac not to wait for him, even when he realizes that he is in great danger. On the other hand, I like the idea that Hammond actually dies out of great devotion to his team. But they didn’t push through with the second one in the remake, which is why Hammond died more like a sentimental idiot than a squad leader, unable to come to terms with the fact that he had completely lost this very squad
I like the Remake more, he had his brain fucked by the Marker and yet in his final moments he managed to do something ration and logical.
the og had more soul to be honest, like the nurse that killed herself, she was radio silent in the remake while in the og she was laughing
Temple looking at you before Mercer shots him in the head is so goddamn haunting in the remake.
Most people forget that they are playing a "Horror" game not a DOOM game, reducing the scary level in the game is similar to completely removing the scary scenes in the first "Alien" movie. .
7:07 that’s pretty cool on the remake on how they change in front of you , that’s terrifying!
i hope they remake the second one. that firth death/transformation was brutal back then
I've played Dead Space multiple times and there are times when I forget some encounters, so for me that just makes it fun and terrifying to play through again
best remake of a game so far, hope they will remake DS2 too, my favorite one.
In Kendra’s death, Issac was exhausted, fatigued, and heartbroken after everything and barely had a break.
Would rather play the original at 4k 120fps then the new one at 1080p 60fps.
1:40 i like how the blood instantly gets added to his suit
Tbh the remake is a faithful adaptation of the original.
People who complaine ,are those who have some kind of comblex with something.
3:25 something interesting about my game. My laptop doesn’t run this game that well but it can still run it. I believe that due to my graphics not being the best it caused a bug with the guy banging his head on the wall and caused him to never play his death animation. So now whenever I come back to this area he is still banging his head on the wall. I saved this man’s life at the cost of him being really annoyed by something.
Dr Kyne in the Original: Lets get out of here Isaac! We don't have time to waste we have to...
Dr Kyne in the Remake: Oh hey Isaac Daniels is waiting for us inside the Ship. So I'm just gonna stand here like a mannequin and wait to get shot
One thing i think that goes kinda understated is how much better the voice acting is in the remake, all the characters feel so much more real. As well as Isaac responding to what's going on is a great touch
They sound worse in every way tbh
Hammond and Kendra in the remake were dead and lifeless.
I swear you people kill me how do they sound better ? Daniels in the original legit made me think Hammond was the bad guy and I never expected her betrayal where in the remake she sounds like a lifeless robot used to getting stuck in space with undead alien monsters 😂
Intro is better in remake.
Chen death is better in the remake.
The dude hitting his head on the wall is better in OG.
Security officer is better in remake since it fits a security officer death MUCH more, the original is amazing but feels more like something you should see in the crew quarters or something.(like that officer they shoots herself in the remake but doesn’t appear here for some reason)
Kyne pretty much just got a graphics update lol
Hammond…I like how out of nowhere his death is in the original, you don’t expect it, plus it leads to a mini boss fight and is way more brutal. However, the new one really shows how much the marker messes with your head, that “what” right before Chen gets him is so sad and Hammond goes out like a badass by taking Chen with him by using his last bit of sanity.
Mercer is so much better in remake but his death is so lame in the new one and it’s mainly because we don’t see him die, would have been cool if the tentacle slammed him or something.
Nicole’s death hits much harder in remake if you’ve followed her quest.
Kendra in OG is satisfying to the max, Kendra in remake is so sad…she made sense and I really liked her character here. I’m convinced humanity would be alive if she managed to do what she wanted.
The final jumpscare is 19474929483829529482885582991% better in the original.
Lowkey hate how Isaac let Temple die, I feel like if he had gone along with Mercer, he could had convinced him to spare Jacob
DS1 on PC has really held up. IF you can play it on 4k, everything set to ultra, it totally holds up.
I mean people have diversed opinions on which scene was better on remake vs original but can we all agree the ending jumpscare got ruined in remake?
Sure the remake looks nice and all but I still think atmosphere, story and horror whise that the original is superior. There are just things they changed that doesnt make sense at all. Like hammonds death or the additional charackter they added for the ending. I assume they wanted to give more insight on how the necromorphs are created with hammond calling the name of the crewmember. But at this point the player already knows all that. In the original his death happens more fitting to the charackter. Also they changed how chatackters like kenrda and dr kayne behave which makes them feel different. Nicole was also behaving different in the original. She is talking with a way different tone to her voice which just feels different and sets another atmosphere. Also some design choices are questionable, like making nicole look like a grandma and issac like ...well idk what I should call that .Looks aside from the silent protagonist and no cut scene gameplay from the original which they changed in the remake.
I still enjoy the game even though I beat the original when it released if anything I love how they did more detail in the lore!
I'll say it
Hammonds death was beyond stupid in the remake
Not really
At first I was like wow! Hammond hasn't died yet and was thinking maybe he survives and then it happened.
Temple was definitely a survivor. Until he wasn’t. Rip.
Although the 2023 version is better in terms of visual quality and realistic supplementary explanations.
As a horror game, the eerie sounds and bizarre atmosphere were better done in the old version.
The remake version shows efforts to present the characters in an attractive way.
However, I don't know if it was due to the effort, but it was the older version that brought out the horror elements well by paralyzing reason due to fear or creating a desperate situation.
People who are less scared or whose tastes are far from horror will be more attracted to the 2023 version, but for me personally, the vain and gruesome death of Hammond, who was the leader, gave stasis to Isaac, thinking that his acquaintance was alive without any trace of resistance. I prefer a story where the main character, like the female passenger who died, is placed in a more miserable and miserable environment and escapes there on her own.
Bravery is a charm, but this is a horror game.
Isaac experienced countless human deaths and tragic deaths in Ishimura, and because the deaths were three-dimensional, I was able to become more immersed in him suffering from Dementia.
The production of the prepared plasma cutter and the courageous fight against the Negromorph... I think this game is biased towards adventure material.
These idiots at EA don't seem to have learned anything from Dead Space 3.
They still didn't understand horror properly.
I haven't played the new one but hammond wasn't dumb he knew he didn't haven't a chance against that brute but died guns ablazing but also could fight off a lot of other types of necromorphs including the fast one's he's the one who gave you the intel on them so on the new one how he gets killed basically saying he's a moron 🐺
Original "Dead Space"- THE BEST!!!
I like how everything isn't just updated but Abit improved
Actually everything is worse
@@BigSplenda1885 Explain?
I wouldn't say improved. It was interpreted with new capabilities.
I respect that developers wanted a better death for hammond but i like his death in the first version. They send us a message when he dies with the brute... "Theres no hope for those who are out there in dead space"
The original still looks great in 4k
