“Dead Space” is one of the most macabre and scary sci-fi games ever developed. The remake takes it to a new level.
A dark spaceship in the middle of space, almost only scary creatures roam around in every niche and corner. You are a spaceship engineer who has to find the missing crew including his girlfriend. The setting of the survival horror game “Dead Space” is already cinematic. Violence, blood and other disturbing images are at the heart of the game.
The remake of “Dead Space” will be so scary
So rather unsuitable for scaredy-cats. “Dead Space” wants to trigger such an oppressive feeling that even following you put down the controller, you carry the gloomy mood for a while. That’s too much for the game’s technical director, David Robillard: “I can’t play the game with headphones at night, it’s just too scary for me,” he told Play magazine.
AI makes scary moments more intense
If you played the old part 15 years ago, you can erase your memory: In addition to the scripted scenes, there are random surprise attacks or moments of shock. While one player walks through a brightly lit room, the other finds a dark one. These moments are generated by an AI director.
If all this is a little too much for you, you can adjust it in the settings for the first time. On the one hand, you get warnings like “There are disturbing scenes in the following section”. In addition, these can be censored so that bloody death scenes are blurred or censored.
If you want to see for yourself: “Dead Space” is now available for PC and all common next-gen consoles. “today” will also publish a test report shortly.
