Thread 718651212

is it better than the original?

Yes.
Ignore seething latinx grifters

It's pretty go- *STUTTER* -od.

>>718651212 (OP)
No.
It's worse in numerous aspects of animation and graphics whilst only improving on a few things.
They made everyone ugly and shoved in a bunch of propaganda.
It has massive stutter and render issues.
Play the original with the widescreen fixes.

Yes, it sucks they will never remake 2

>>718651384
should I emulate the original via xenia or is the steam version better?

>>718651212 (OP)
No, and mercifully those Canadian fuckheads ruined it just enough that any chances of them doing the same to Dead Space 2 is no longer a possibility. Fuck EA as well for bringing up a franchise they killed with unrealistic expectations in the first place.

>>718651442
just do xenia since it's free

>>718651384
What propaganda?

>>718651510
faggot

Fuck no. It's a butchered version tainted by EA retards who never had anything to do with the game and forced it to be "more modern" while disregarding what the original devs wanted to do with the game.
Remember to tell ALL EA shills to commit rope, especially if they reveal they bought this shit or told people to give EA money.

>>718651212 (OP)
It sucks and the fact that it underperformed and made sure that they will never touch Dead Space 2 makes me very happy.

>>718651994
This
The fact retards cried that EA won't rape the corpse of this series futher possed me off
Normalfags even asked for "dead space 4" when it would be either souless trash or some live service crap

>>718651212 (OP)
No also the new isaac model looks like dogshit

>>718651719
Unitology is now an obvious symbol for christianity and the necromorphs are goyim. Isaac is now a metaphor for Israel in that he cannot do anything wrong and all his actions are completely justified in the eyes of god

>>718652324
This. It's not just one or two instances either, it's like every single fucking sign is pozzed.

>>718651719
They turned Nicole into a hag, she's not a 20yr old 3.14 anymore with who I'd consider turning into a monolithic monster creature for

>make us whole
Fuck no granny, stay away

>>718652396
What do you mean anon?

>>718651442
Steam version with some fixes. Runs weird on modern machines

>>718655304
I get the whole woke thing blah blah bad blah....

But Nicole's change is justified. She's supposed go be an experienced person that commands at least some authority. The way she's written in lore doesn't match with le 17 year old face DS1.

>he thinks that women will still suffer through the aging process 100+ years in the future
lmaoing at your life

>>718651212 (OP)
The new protag looks so goofy

>>718651212 (OP)
It's worth playing but it's worse.
No one's talking about how they rewrote the story. Nicole can't just be a nurse, she's gotta be a psychiatrist who specializes in helping people to leave the church of Unitology (???) and Isaac can't just be going to rescue her because he loves her, it's gotta be because he and Nicole had a big fight because she'd been counseling Isaac's mum in her journey of leaving Unitology (acting as psychiatrist to her own boyfriend's mother??????????????????????) and when Isaac's mum flipped out and killed his father and herself Isaac had an outburst at Nicole and Nicole told him to 'go to hell'
Now if you haven't played the remake and this all sounds unbelievably retarded I assure you this actually plays out as I've described it. It's all just
>who are your people?
>I'm alone
>Han.... SOLO
That exact sort of writing but with brethren moons and shit.

>>718657086
i can see why they made him look like a dork considering hes supposed to be some regular ass engineer

>>718656392
Not to mention that the original devs aged her model up in 2 substantially. She always looked too young for a character that was written to be Isaac's age. Isaac is supposed to be like 35-40.

>>718651384
I'll never understand why people defended characters like Nicole becoming uglier so hard because it's """more realistic for a woman of her age""" as if women over a certain age or of a certain position can't retain their good looks at all, so they HAVE to look like they've worked through 8 midnight triages a week for 9 years straight. The fact it's the future and they have hyper advanced medical tech out the wazzoo to the point medical kits can heal massive gaping wounds is even more reason to why she still looked young, since they can clearly rejuvenate people's physical appearances so it's just bullshit how that rhetoric was so prolific in arguments defending the game's choices. I feel like everyone who said shit like that has never seen a good looking woman over 30 in their entire life, regardless of how common or uncommon it might be.

>>718651212 (OP)
No, but it's still worth playing.
>Skin system means enemies are tankier due to having to rip the skin before you actually deal damage at all to the bones.
>This change also heavily ruins guns like the Force Gun because it basically does nothing to the bones and exists only to rip the skin unlike the beauty it was in DS1.
>Red-eye Necromorphs in NG+ are Brute-level tanky, sometimes come one room after the other, only drop standard enemy drops, and deal Advanced Necromorph levels of damage.
>The asteroid shooting segment was removed for going in a straight line avoiding debris that instakills you.
>There is now a security badge system in place so you can't explore a lot of locations forcing you to constantly backtrack to open doors from upgrading your level to get basic blueprints. Sure hope you remember where the doors were most of the time.
>Because you don't just follow the tram for progress and instead have to double back to the starting area or others to get to new places like Hydroponics it feels like the pacing is completely off.
>Zero-G's mechanics are the same as in DS2 and DS3 but the buttons aren't so controlling Isaac feels like absolute ass even if you try to revert the controls to DS2/DS3.
>The Advanced Soldier RIG looking like some Punisher knockoff is awful.
>Many of the new rooms are either just broom closets with next to nothing in them or completely unnecessary like the new puzzles on Aegis VII making an already annoying part (Escorting the Marker) take even longer and breaks the pacing way too much.
>The Valor segment flings way more Twitchers than it did in the original and there's now more rooms on top of it.
>Kinesis is so much weaker than even DS3 that it's barely even worth impaling stuff anymore.
>Impossible difficulty is just Hardcore on Hard instead of Impossible and the game is even easier than the original on top of it.
>Doors can now arbitrarily close and stunlock you.
>Mercer and Hammond are both done so much worse.

If you enjoyed the gameplay and progressing through the Ishimura itself, I think the remake is superior, it felt a lot more like exploring through a persistent environment and the backtracking is a bit more interesting with the security level clearance instead of power node doors, and some of the story beats related to progressing through the ship work better such as the leviathan blocking the antenna instead of being a separate entity.
The lore story changes are debatable, I didn't mind the marker having an effect on all the characters, I think it improves Hammond's story, I think Isaac having some say in what is going and where to go in the plot improves his character as an engineer a bit, the Hydroponics and Nicole back story are debatable.
The character model changes with making everyone over 50yo was pretty unnecessary, some rooms were randomly pitch black only some of the time and the grab tentacles had an annoying amount of health.

What they did to Mercer is without a doubt one of my biggest issues. In the original he was a madman who genuinely believed that the marker's were the tools necessary for the next step of human evolution, that the necromorphs were a perfected form of humanity. At the very end when he realizes that his human form no longer served a purpose, he happily embraces the infector for his "ascension".Then the remake turns him into a generic;
>NOOO, I was promised greatness, how could this be happening to me?.
With one of the lamest deaths i've seen.

>>718651212 (OP)
I hope they retcon and reboot DS3. the OG DS3 was an abomination. make it an ellie and isaac coop shooter and get rid of the retarded love triangle shit and stupid ass cultists

>>718651212 (OP)
I liked it more than the original but they're both good for their own reasons.

>>718659873
The cultists on the ship in the dlc were cool in design and idea. We hack necromorphs limbs off all game and the cult hacks off human limbs

>>718657843
>>The Advanced Soldier RIG looking like some Punisher knockoff is awful.
It just pisses me off that even DS3 of all games got the aesthetic of the pseudo skull design of the 1st game right with Carver's suit. The remake takes the aesthetic to its dumb extreme, and isn't even ridiculous enough that it wraps around to being cool again.
The suits in the remake lean too far into DS2. In 1 the suits are clunky, heavy, and bulky because they're engineering space suits with loads of extra padding and armor for protection. Even the military suit is filled in and padded. You can see how Isaac moves in the original, he's slow and lumbering vs the faster paced animation in the remake, and you don't feel the weight of the suits at all. Overall the remake completely missed the mark on the suit designs.

>>718651212 (OP)
graphics, sound and gore is better. But the original had superior voice acting which added a lot to the atmosphere to the game. Also for some reason the necromorphs are not as aggressive compared to the orignal game
