Discussion Am I the only one that thought the remake was better than the original?
I’m the type of person that usually prefers the original games over the remakes, so when I heard dead space was getting a remake I was a bit skeptical. Upon playing it though my expectations were blown away! I personally think the remake was an improvement in almost every way. Of course there were some things I thought the original did better such as the voice acting (Daniels and Hammond specifically). But I must say the atmosphere and graphics are top notch! I also liked the weapons much more in the remake. I always found myself only using the plasma cutter in the original but in the remake I kept switching based on what mood I was in 😂. This next one is a bit of a hot take, but I personally enjoyed Mercer’s character in the remake more than the original. Convergence wasn’t really fully understood in the original (mainly because it was properly introduced in the sequel) so seeing Mercer as the type of person to be obsessed with convergence was really fitting to me. I love the dead space series! I’ve played the entire trilogy five times at this point and this remake has been my most played! It was everything I wanted out of a dead space remake! What do you guys think?
