Furthermore the User Interface has been integrated and modernized with displaying the most essential information of the game more intuitively.
Sinister Audiovisual Symphony
One of the hallmarks of the action-horror video games is the Sound design that plays a very crucial role in the innovation and immersion of the game. Dead Space Remakes takes full advantage of the latest Sound and Hardware technologies to level up the the true horror experience of the game. Whether spine chilling atmospheric ambient or the whispers in distant dark corner of the ship or the echo's in the corridors of USG Ishimura increases the level of intensity and engagement of the game.
USG Ishimura:
USG Ishimura was the massive interstellar space ship with limited no of survivals that scavenge natural resources from different planets with the advent of Planet Cracker for over 60 years. USG Ishimura was designed right after the planet earth become highly unstable and unhabitable for the human race due to drastic increase in the human population and natural disasters challenged the survival of human kind.
The Red Marker:
UGS discovered some sort of a Red Marker during its routine route around the planet Aegis 7 that was cover with alien scripture and had a very strange orange matter lurking around it that manage to penetrate through the ship's atmosphere resulting in viral infection that transformed all the 1300 crew members in the ship to some sort of alien monsters known as the Nacromorphs.
Isaac Clark's Mission:
Isaac Clark received distress signal from the USG Ishimura and was ordered to scrutinize the situation for more information after the discovery of the Mysterious alien Red Marker that was responsible for the spread of viral disease causing a mass metal illness among all the crew members resulting in flesh eating and craving alien creatures known as the Nacromorphs, that Isaac Clark will face during the whole mission on the ship.
The Government:
Besides the Nacromorphs, the other main challenges that protagonist of the game faces is the Unitologist commonly known as the Government. The Organization believe to understand the capabilities and dangers surrounding of the Black and the Red Marker however The Government kept it a secret for years, as it was believe that the Red Marker was artificially made by the scientists of the Government.
The Discovery of Black Marker:
Another marker highlighted in the game was the Black Marker a column shaped Marker resembling the Red Marker was found on Earth about 200 years before the events of Dead Space took place however it's exitance was hidden from the general public to avoid any sort world wide hysteria and riots against the government. One of the scientist tried to disclose all the information of the experimentations with alien technology and black marker to the public however was executed before he could make a major impact.
My Opinion on the Game:
The graphics of the original version of the game still holds up to this date if you are playing on Pc therefore I believe that the Remake of the game would surpass our expectations for the visual and graphical representation of the game quite easily by harnessing the mighty power of Raytracing and Next Gen hardware of Pc and PS5.
Frame Rate Issues:
However, I still have my concerns regarding the overall frame rate of the game after watching the trailer of the game on YouTube. In the first few moments of the trailer everything seemed quite promising however in the midway of the trailer I noted a huge drop in the frame rate after Issacs Clark's first encounter with the Nacromorphs.
I believe it may be the video of the trailer and may have nothing to do with the overall performance of the game but fingers are crossed for this particular video game.
Conclusion:
In a realm of video games only a very few titles manage to have transcend into the hearts and minds of gaming community for over a decade, Dead Space Remake is one of those franchise that exceeded the expectation and anticipation. By Embracing the Cutting Edge Technology Dead Space manages to deliver the tremendous, Innovative, Captivating, Immersive gaming experience while keeping the nostalgic essence with modern preferences.
