I'll give a reasonable take.

Remakes and remasters do not matter as long as the original game still exists and can be purchased or played via a used game.
People that get upset about remakes and remasters are very stupid. Even if you don't like them. Fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but the original game still exists and as long as the dev / publisher hasn't done something anti-video gaming like removing the ability of a person to buy / play the original, there's nothing to be upset about.

In terms of answering OP's question, I actually think Dead Space remake is a better game than the original. There's a few flaws and changes that I disliked, but the game also improved the original in many more ways. The levels and layout are still nearly identical, but the visuals are enhanced to such a degree that it really is just a much better experience playing through it. They also added some new areas that merge well into the game, and add better movement mechanics when in zero gravity.

Yes, people will post .webms of the autistic downgrades, such as the asteroids not breaking up / being destroyed in the same way in that one mining area, or the changes in the various posters on the Ishimura to be "woke" but the game still plays better and feels better to me.

I say that after replaying the original back in 2023 after finishing the remake and the original just didn't age as well as I'd remembered. The lighting wasn't as good as I remembered, the Ishimura is a lot brighter than I remembered in the original, and the levels were very lacking in detail in general and didn't feel "lived in" like they do in the remake.
