Why on earth would I pay $60 for the Dead Space remake?

[Hoppled]

Seriously, wtf? And everyone is onboard with it like "yoooo you excited for the dead space remake?!"

... This is pathetic. We just accept anything now. DEAD SPACE ONE HAS BARELY AGED MY GUY. IT NEVER NEEDED A REMAKE.

LET ALONE 60 DOLLARS FOR SAID REMAKE, WHICH IS ONLY 11 HOURS LONG.

I just....I don't get it. Wouldn't the gameplay be exactly the same, just upgraded visuals and VAs?

I guess a remaster might be better, but honestly I would prefer new, original concepts because I do have some favorite games that kind of stayed the same but I've played some amazing titles that never really kept going with newer releases that actually were new...instead they opted to remake the old titles, and now I have no interesting games to play.

I might drop $60 for High on Life for the very short but interesting experience. That's how starved I've been for good original video games.

if remaster is being made by the same people, they might decide to add content that was cut. it would still be remaster (not a remake). or, if enough well documented data remains of what, where and why things were left out...

Because you like the game, want to experience it again with shiny new graphics and you can afford to pay for it.

...want to experience it again...

key words. what might as well mean: "haven't broadened your understanding over 10 or more years". what potentially is very sad...

You don't...you wait until it goes on sale like most sane people

The issue I have is I am BARELY seeing any backlash, whatsoever. Its like they have all forgot what a giant ripoff it is, and it annoys tf out of me.

Because this is the new normal. Take a game that doesn't really need a remaster/remake, and do just that.

People will line up just to see how "improved" the graphics are, and then turn around to complain about missing features that were cut as a result of graphics taking up most of the dev time. Of course, companies won't care because the game still sold well so there's no reason *not* to do that again.

I don't hate remasters/remakes (lord knows it's the only way to make some games playable legally without shilling out an insane amount of money, looking at you klonoa 2) but it should ideally be of games that actually need it. You really don't need to remaster/remake ps3+ era games, most of them still look good enough as is. Not everything has to be some 4k120fps graphical showcase, most people won't care about that.

Sounds like a ripoff.

[Moogal™]

Worth 60$ if the launch is good.

[Uncle Sam]

Since it's EA we're talking about, wait until they start cutting content from the game and sell it as 2 or 3 digits in cash DLC, or as """"time-limited collectionable"""" NFT's, perhaps they might go full gacha / pachinko machine.

People are free to do what they want with the money. Better question is why this remake exists in a first place because some of my friends who recently played a game also state it aged very well and doesn't feel like it needs one. I played it not so long ago and had same feelings. Guess it's to have an opportunity to possibly remake whole DS Trilogy and change few story bits. (How for example according to trophied DS Remake will have alternative ending).

Anyhow more Dead Space is always good in my book so :ds_idk:

You mean you guess it's an opportunity to possibly make more money. FTFY

Not condemning people who buy the game, but don't deny it's a blatant cash grab and an insult. Even RE:4 I feel didn't need a remake, I played it a few years ago and I had no issue - but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Dead Space? I thought it was a meme when it was first announced. Aren't they ""remaking"" Horizon Zero Dawn as well? This is just garbage practice that needs to go.

Not sure why there's even a reason to be upset. You clearly don't see it worth purchasing. People who do and enjoy it will do so, and you will have saved your money. Everyone wins.

[Incarnate]

Meh. I didn't even think the original was that good. I was always surprised by the reaction to it considering how plodding, linear, and clunky a game it was.

[Dotssy]

Beacause people need to consoom, and making a remake of a game is way cheaper with less risk involved than to make a new game.

[Flowernose]

Just like to remind EA buyers that ammo in dead space 3 cost real money and access to co op is paywalled
If your bad at aiming get your credit card ready for the remake

[Siluva]

Me and my big brain waiting couple of years to buy GOTY games for less than 10 bucks just to never play it.

I'm winner.

You wouldn't, you'd beat it once and forget about it with Origin Access Premier™ available now for the low price of 15$/month exclusively on Origin™.

[Auckes]

Why would you *have to* pay, or do anything at all? Nobody forced anybody to do anything of sorts.
