It’s only when you see the 2008 original alongside the remake that you realise just how much Motive are faffing with this version of the game to bring it into the 2020s. Still, Campos-Oriola insists they’re staying true to the horror, and what he describes as “creative gameplay”, of the OG Dead Space. Not content with just a graphical zhuzhing up though, Motive are chucking in something called the Intensity Director. The Intensity Director is an encounter and spawning system that dynamically adjusts what spacelad Isaac Clarke has to deal with as he’s wandering the corridors of the Ishimura.
That might mean Necromorphs pop out to say hi, or it could just be environmental effects such as lighting or smoke, or sounds to put you ill at ease. Campos-Oriola explained that the Intensity Director was mostly being used for when Isaac revisits areas of the hulking derelict, and for side-quests. As I’vereportedbefore, the Ishimura is now a place Isaac can wander freely. I’m intrigued to see more of how the Intensity Director works in action, as it sounds mint.
The Dead Space remake bursts out of an air duct and onto the screaming faces ofSteamand theEpic Games Storeon January 27th, 2023. It’s also coming to current-gen consoles.
