We played nearly four hours of the new DeadSpace remake and there's a lot more happening under the hood beyond its graphical upgrade.
Whether it’s by coincidence or some kind of telepathic developer wavelength, the Dead Space renaissance is here. Several sci-fi horror games are in development, some of which are directly inspired by EA’s 2008 classic. Leading that charge is … well, Dead Space itself.
Creative Director Roman Campos-Oriola notes that the EA Motive has a lot of reverence for the original, which is why it jumped at the chance to tackle the project. With that respect, the team wanted to make sure it was using technology to enhance the original, not redo it. Intensity director The tech boost isn’t just a matter of bumping visual fidelity — in fact, that’s the part of the demo I was least intrigued by. The grandest change is that chapters are no longer broken up by tram rides and long loading screens. There’s no loading period according to EA. The Ishimura is now walkable end to end, as the game unfolds in one continuous camera shot like God of War .
“Take the example of Chapter 2,” Campos-Oriola explains. “When you kill the captain and you come back through the elevator, now you need to reach the hangar to go to Chapter 3. That walk between the elevator from the morgue to the tram … the intensity director is playing 100%. Sometimes there’s gonna be fights, sometimes it’s going to be pitch black with whispers, sometimes all the lights are going to turn on and a lurker is going to spawn, and sometimes nothing is going to happen.
