Dead Space is imminent, with the remastered survival-horror classic launching tomorrow, on 27th January, for players on PS5. Even if you fought through the original 2008 title, there are fresh spooks to look forward to (not to mention some manner of alternate ending) and new ways to experience them.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, developer Motive detailed how the DualSense has been utilised to deepen the gameplay experience through the way you move around the Ishimura and in the way Isaacs's arsenal operates.
In the example above, firing the Plasma Cutter will initiate a distinct vibration, and pushing the DualSense trigger beyond the required threshold will cause it to click back in place, ready for the next shot. The flamethrower, as another example, will emit a low vibration through the trigger as the released liquid ignites into flame.
Players will feel the impact of Isaac's magnetic boots in zero-gravity areas and experience real-time haptic vibrations when using the Kinesis or Stasis modules.
Finally, the controller's speakers will add to immersion by giving the player gameplay feedback when performing actions like refilling their stasis energy or using their locator, making Isaac's RIG feel like a participant in the moment-to-moment action.
Will you be picking Dead Space up at launch? Are you looking to revisit the Ishimura's nightmarish corridors and ghoulish inhabitants? Cut to the chase in the comments section below.

Maybe I need to pay more attention and I'm missing something but imo Callisto did it way, way better. Feels pretty generic in Dead Space thus far.
This is all good to hear, but I want gyro aiming for the PS5 version most of all. Idk why it isn't an optional choice for all shooters on Switch and PS4/PS5 by now. I was pleasantly surprised to see gyro controls in The Callisto Protocol. Hopefully, Dead Space will have it as well. Either way, I'll find out on Friday.
@DTfeartheBEARD I've never tried gyro aiming, the concept has always sounded miserable to me. I dunno haha, I have callisto protocol though, didn't even know it was an option, I'll try it out.
I've got it downloaded and now I'm wishing a day of my life away...
@DTfeartheBEARD Amen, brother. And unfortunately, DS does not have gyro aiming.
@grubsteak If you have HFW, try it there as well. With a little fine sensitivity fine tuning, it's the best it gets at the moment for me. I could have never hit those tiny weak spots in the heat of the battle without gyro aiming and I also wish more games had it. Apparently, a lot of people think you need to flail your arms around constantly, lol. I pre-aim roughly 80-90% with the analog and do the rest via gyro, mostly only takes a slight flick or movement with your hands once the right sensitivity is dialed in. So satisfying for me.
I consider Dead Space to be one of the greats, shame I can't afford the price tag at the moment but one day I'll play this for sure.
@dschons Awww, don't say that. It really doesn't? I'm not surprised, but it still sucks. 60fps will be a nice upgrade from my 360 version, though. I'll just have to put up with the dated aiming with a thumb stick...
@grubsteak, you should definitely at least try it. Gyro controls are also optional on The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West, & God of War Ragnarok if you have any of those. Gyro is perfect for fine-tuning your aim to pull off head shots, ect.
It's the closest to mouse/keyboard for precision on console.
@DTfeartheBEARD I don't know what it is but I simply can't get fully used to playing shooters or games where aiming is required on console. I mean, it works ok, I beat the games but I constantly overaim despite fiddling around with the sensitivity. I think it is that initial resistance you need to overcome move the stick. I'm probably too rough. because I did a lot better on PS3 where the stick resistance was much looser. But I am so happy Sony seems to take care of gyro aiming in their first party games and Callisto was a welcome surprise.
@GuttyYZ doesnt help if you are PS5 only but just £34 on PC and with the right kit 4K60 of course.
Why are the reviews not out yet?
@Pyro-Flo embargo doesn't lift until like 16:00 Uk/EU time I think
@Uromastryx Ah I see. Thanks I didn't realise. Worries me slightly the embargo is so close to release.
Just finished Gow Ragnarok this week and my copy of Dead Space is due today. Good times to be a gamer!
N.i.c.e glad to hear that.dead space remake is gonna be a masterpiece.the dual sense is a game changer.word up son
That pic for the story is actually Isaac from Dead Space 2!!
Is this a little tidbit that the sequel remake is getting announced??
PushSquare, you naughty things, you know this is how internet rumors start..
@dschons I prefer to have loose stick resistance also. It's nice to be able to adjust the stick tension on my Elite Series 2 controller. I was hoping the Dualsense Edge controller would have the same option, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately. If only Xbox controllers had gyro sensors in them, then gyro would probably be a standard across the board for all consoles. I agree. It's nice to see Sony have gyro available for most of their 1st party games. It's definitely a step up from the PS4 gen that's for sure.
The dualsense features make it the best console controller around and best one I've used so far, but the battery life is pretty poor so hopefully that can be fixed with future versions.
@lindos I've got gaming pc but it's around 4 years old, and wasn't highest spec at the time either so probably can't handle DS at 4k etc lol.
@grubsteak
It’s pretty useful, but it’s got a learning curve.
Your macro camera movement still uses the stick. The gyro is used for small movements. Or fine tuning your aim.
I’ve been trying to learn it in Fortnite. It’s hard because it’s unnatural if you’ve been playing analog only for a long time like I have (over two decades). But I see the potential improvements it brings even as a beginner at it. You can be way more precise with it.
I am so exited to get back into this world again. Might have to watch the movies while I wait for the game to come.
