l'Original a écrit :

I was first excited by the expansion of the lore from other titles, like Extraction, but then I was invited to look at the leaks and then ran across Mercer's scene. They're trying to expand upon the lore... while making Ubisoft-style cutscenes from the existing lore and using lore-breaking plot devices like a Stasis that entirely freezes Isaac in place for a couple of minutes.

I saw the thing with Mercer, I like the new actor they have but the 100% freeze stasis thing is something. I agree that it is strange compared to how stasis functions in the rest of the games. I haven't seen much else yet as I want to experience the new scenes for myself so I'll see what else happens once I'm able to play.

Not really a spoiler, since Motive boasted about it and it's been defended pretty hard, the captain's transformation scene got a similar treatment where it went from PS3 in-game scene design innovation to a Ubisoft-style cutscene where Isaac goes from stomping necromorphs into acting like a chump because the cutscene says so.

Also, at least Mercer's actor seems to nail the part, and isn't a bit of a downgrade like Kyne's appears to be. Then again, big shoes to fill.

It's a woke remake. Of course the paid reviews are going to be good. They're all extremely biased, in support of censorship, and fail to mention the crashing and animation glitches. In other words, fake news.

Is there a reason all these reviewers are giving Dead Space high review scores/positive praise, but dunking on Forspoken? Are we going to suggest some woke bias gave Dead Space a pass and it just stopped there? Did the woke mafia go on holiday when Forspoken was coming out and came back just in time to clock into work and save Dead Space?

Man, I wish I could pick your brain endlessly. The stories you have to weave for reality to even make any sense must be fascinating. I'm sure you'll blame fluorine in the water supply or something to that effect.

The scores on the mechanics seem fairly solid, so that is good. Same with the general art despite several hiccups, or those have been glossed over in hopes they will be patched, like some room transitions.

Some of the the writing/lore changes and some of the design surrounding such are the questionable parts, especially Kendra in the intro and what made her lines stand out in subsequent playthroughs, the loss of her lines seems like she was made... too passive? Is she even the character she was supposed to be anymore? Can someone confirm?

From what I understand, the changes were because her personality was in conflict with the plot twist from her. She evoked no empathy or trust when she was constantly telling you to do stuff like go into the room with a super necromorph because the gas didn't do the job.

Certainly the original character stands out for me too. But that old personality and performance of her's screamed untrustworthy hag.

The interplay between her and Hammond established her competence as a computer specialist able to get ♥♥♥♥ done under duress, his command as per his role, and the chafe of her being shoehorned onto the USS Kellian at orders from high-up in CEC.

But most of all? RIP her lines to Isaac about being able to look up Nicole when they get aboard in lieu of some exposition barf. Isaac was just another tool to be used in her mission, empathy would have been... well, it WAS wasted, apparently, in the Remake as it is no longer there in the intro. The replacement is just some general preference of wanting to see Nicole than listen to Hammond doing his job.

The details in the intro changes, whether Isaac switches off the video or it fades to static, are also significant to Kendra's character.

ACG Loves it, and states it is performant on PC and is a excellent remake from
a position of the new L4D style random event director, the enhanced story arcs, of course the new features and gfx, and runs great on PC - He gave this title a Strong Buy.

He is usually the first to call out JANK or Performance issues if they are there. He said they did their homework with this title and is one of the better 0 days releases he has seen in a while for the PC from a stuttering perspective. Strong praise indeed.

Nobody cares.
