Reviving a Classic: What's New in the Dead Space Remastered

In an era where remakes are all the rage, it's exciting to see beloved classics like Dead Space get a fresh coat of paint. The original 2008 game has been reimagined from scratch as Dead Space Remasted, available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

One of the most notable improvements in this remake is its enhanced visuals. Gone are the dated graphics that once defined the series; instead, you'll be treated to a visually stunning experience with detailed environments and characters. The audio has also received an overhaul, making for a more immersive experience as you navigate through the dark corridors of the USG Ishimura.

But it's not just about looks – gameplay improvements have been made throughout Dead Space Remasted. Building on the success of Dead Space 2, which introduced snappier controls to keep up with the rapid pace of combat against necromorphs, this remake takes things even further. Zero-G environments now allow for full movement without being restricted to flat surfaces or requiring you to jump between platforms – giving players a greater sense of freedom and control.

To give you an idea of what's changed, check out the controls comparison below:

| Control | Dead Space 2 Preset |

| --- | --- |

| Movement | W/S keys (or left stick) for forward/backward movement; A/D keys (or right stick) for strafing. Jump: Space bar or X button. Zero-G movement: LShift/LCtrl + WASD keys or analog sticks. |

This updated control scheme, combined with the improved graphics and sound design, makes Dead Space Remasted a must-play experience for fans of survival horror games.

Whether you're revisiting an old favorite or diving into the series for the first time, this remake is sure to deliver a thrilling ride through the darkest corners of space.
