Chatty news reporter Jeff Grubb has shed new light on the rumoured Dead Space game set to be announced during EA Play later this month, suggesting the project is actually more of a remake than a reimagining. That was how Gematsu described the currently unannounced title last week, clashing with Grubb's own claims. He believes the game will be a remake featuring modern visuals and new mechanics inspired by later entries in the horror series.
Likened to the recent Capcom remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, it may "use the original game as a strong foundation" before branching out. Given the varying reports coming out about this rumoured Dead Space, we suggest not putting all your eggs into one basket in terms of calibrating expectations. Maybe it's a remake, maybe it's a reboot that looks nothing like the first game. All we think we can somewhat confidently say at this point is that a game named Dead Space will be confirmed later this month. As a reminder, EA Play takes place on 22nd July 2021.

Sounds good to me. The original setting is a great idea and could be expanded on relatively easily. I really enjoyed the first one, played it last year for the first time.
Silent what? My dreams have been answered(?)!
As long as you’re not relentlessly pursued around the Ishimura by an unstoppable (and annoying) creature, I’m fine with that 😁
Very much into this. If they can get the Dead Space vibe right this will be some of the easiest money EA ever made outside of sports and Star Wars.
Well, sign me the hell up lol.
A day one buy for sure! (after reviews of course)
I'll happily take a Dead Space Remake, honestly I don't think I would trust EA to continue the Dead Space series so a Remake is probably the best option, not sure how much they can improve however, unless they truly decide to put in that effort and make it as close to the Resident Evil 2 Remake levels of detail.
L💛ve dead space .so if this a remake instead of a remastered.that will be good news.word up son
Its just gonna be the original but Issac can speak this time isnt it lol
Good. The first one is a masterpiece that still holds up today. I prefer they give it a good shine instead of trying to do something new they certainly botch.
surely a trilogy remaster would be first you cant even play those on ps4.
Then a remake
Lets hope its good and EAed like with part 3.
Dead Space 1 & 2 were epic!! Remember the second truly feeling like a horror movie and on par with Uncharted 2!
The weapons where the highlight
I only ever played Dead Space 3, not played the first 2.
I’ve always thought of Dead Space & Dead Space 2 like Alien and Aliens both amazing just slightly different genres. I’ll be happy if this report is true and I’ll be looking forward to boarding the USG Ishimura
Day one purchase!
Will be my first deadspace experience!
'New mechanics inspired by later entries'? Oooh, not sure about that. DS3's mechanics were part of what made it such a poor horror game.
I'm sooooo f*#@**g happy! Dead Space means the world to me. I had almost given up hope on seeing anything Dead Space related again. I still hate EA for bringing and end to Visceral but this is good news. Now all we need is a horror Doom like Doom 3 and I'll be the happiest guy in the world.
Ah Jeff grubb at it again with his guesses. Just wait for an official announcement
@mrtennis1990 I strongly recommend you play Dead Space 1 and 2. Two of the best games iv ever played. Dead Space 2 is a clear 10/10 horror experience for me.
Amazing news if its true 👍
Plasma cutter. Iconic weapon.
@Fyz306903 I think we know what that means new mechanics aren’t ideal; here it was supposed to be clunky as hell. Roll on Callisto
I was relieved when I completed the first Dead Space game because it just scared me to death really and I hate scary games(it was BRILLIANT tho) + I liked the 3rd one to that no one seemed to like much.
@Kenshir0 for sure! Are they available on ps4?
@HunkyJunk I guess we'll see. This'll definitely be in the 'interested but wait for reviews before getting too excited' category for me. Then again, most games not called 'Resident Evil', 'Red Dead' or 'Deus Ex' are in that category
definitely looking forward to this. yes please
That kinda socks, started up the first one on my PC about a week ago and it still holds up really well so no need to rehash it and would prefer a new story etc.
Why? The games do not need a remake lol. They've aged super well imo.
This is ideal, imo. Whoever the new developer is, they can learn about what Dead Space is all the way down to the code before actually trying to create a brand new one.
@mrtennis1990 unfortunately not, unless maybe they're on PlayStation now (streaming). The best way to play is the 360 version on the Xbox one or Series X or failing that the PS3 versions which are also excellent.
Why a remake? Why not a new one? Modern gaming sucks
I would love a reboot of the first game, with the weapon building mechanics of the third game, expanded upon even further. That, with some next gen graphics. Yikes
@Carl-G I loved the third game!
I am definitely getting hyped for this.
Really hope that they dont make the game easier, the challenge the game provided was a nice balance for me.
i loved the first game , updated game play , updated graphics , expanded content , sounds great to me.
@stefan771 there is no longer any talent at EA capabile of making a new dead space. they shut down visceral games years ago. this is for the best, otherwise you would just be getting a horrible, cash-grab sequel that you wished never existed.
Wait. So it's just a matter of semantics and Grubb recycle Gematsu 're imagine' into 're make withnewmechanicsandbranchingout' and gets the attention?
There is hardly any difference.
A return to the Ishimura? Yes. Yes. YES!
I'd rather they do a complete remaster of the entire trilogy, but one game is better than none I guess.
