One dead end The anniversary stream took place earlier today, followed by multiple previews and an expanded gameplay trailer for the upcoming remake.
The PlayStation Blog is one of the channels to experience the title firsthand, and it has a lot to say.
You already know there’s zero gravity freedom of movement, no loading screens, it’s extra gore, and Isaac is fully voiced. But did you know he can watch Necromorphs in real time, similar to the beginning of Dead Space 2? If not, now you can.
New to the game is the Junction Box, which requires you to reroute power between different ship functions, and sometimes you’ll be faced with a choice of action. The game also features locked doors and loot containers that you can access with an upgraded security clearance. Because of this, you may need to backtrack a bit to open the container you passed before getting permission. As far as locked doors go, there’s a new side quest involved.
Dead Space Remake will also feature an Intensity Director. It basically makes ambient noise louder and provides some jump scares for trivial things like a burst pipe. However, it can also trigger an unexpected necromantic attack. It also makes exploration more intense, challenging and unpredictable. The atmosphere may also change each time you return to an area you’ve explored previously, making each experience unique.
This time around, you can expect an expanded weapon upgrade path, and you can upgrade your weapons to include attachments by spending nodes.
Of course, you also expect enhanced visuals, enhanced narrative, you can strategize stagnation, use Bench to customize your suit or upgrade your weapons, and the UI is easier to read.
Of course, there’s more, so you should follow the link to the PlayStation Blog and read the preview.
You should also provide an expanded gameplay walkthrough above the watch. In it, Senior Producer Philippe Ducharme takes a closer look at the reimagined USG Ishimura, showcasing key improvements including updated visual fidelity, connected boats, and more.
Dead Space launches on January 27 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
