EA has released footage of the Dead Space remake's opening sequence, and we're a little concerned that Isaac's new performance feels rather half-baked...
for Ultimate subscribers thanks to its inclusion in the EA Play library — was never going to be easy. A fair bit changed and evolved over the course of the action horror game's two sequels and various spin-offs, so in returning to the USG Ishimura, the team will no doubt have had its work cut out deciding what things to retcon into the remake of the original, and what to leave in the airlock.
The first and most glaring of these comes when some of the crew get trapped in the next room when a quarantine lockdown kicks in and we first meet the gruesome Necromorphs. This scene, which sees a crew member get shredded by vile alien creatures while Isaac watches on in silence, felt a bit awkward in the original game but got a pass as Isaac had never spoken and you were really supposed to be caught up in the chaos yourself rather than standing around watching.
Now don't get me wrong, the Dead Space remake looks great. It's one of my favourite 360 games and I can't wait to play it, but from what we've seen so far, the attempt to flesh out Isaac as more of a character just feels half-baked to me. This gives me pause, to the point that if it all plays out like this, I think it may just have been better to keep him silent — the halfway house presented here just isn't doing it for me.
