While Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 weren’t quite as loved as the original Dead Space, the franchise has become a fan favorite for many reasons. One remake on the way in just a few weeks is Dead Space, which is actually scheduled to be released on January 27, 2023.ĭead Space is often argued to be one of the greatest video games of all time, specifically for how it revolutionized the Survival Horror genre. However, it seems like more and more remakes have come out over the past handful of years and there are even some confirmed for the near future. Depending on the franchise or the game, it can be a huge risk.

If done poorly, you can get a lot of angry gamers who make you wonder why you even took the time out to try and recreate a classic in the first place. If done correctly, you can get a masterpiece of an all-time classic.

Cheesy, efficient and fun.Remakes seem to be a popular occurrence in the video game industry lately. With the GRP, I can instakill almost every zombie in the game by hurling them into any of the gratuitously common spiked walls in the game (a horrifying safety hazard for UJC workers but a delightful mechanic for gamers). It takes a lot of effort, risk, time and ammo to kill zombies with conventional combat. Here was my dilemma, if you could call it that: Do I spend all my precious credits making a bunch of mediocre guns I can’t find ammo for? Or do I focus on buffing my small collection of free weapons to fight the progressively tougher and scarier zombies? It was a no-brainer - especially when it came to the GRP. This made it difficult for me to experiment with different weapons because nearly all the obtainable guns have to be crafted at significant cost. All zombies have a hardy resistance to gunfire, ammo is scarce and resources are hard to come by. But while playing, it can feel like “The Callisto Protocol” focused on the game’s melee system to the detriment of other mechanics.
