89 after 26 on OC. Wonderful, they didn't ruin it. Can't wait to get stuck in.
 
On a desktop PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 GPU, and 16GB of RAM, Dead Space ran well at 1440p resolution. The game reached 120 frames per second during scenes without much action. During hectic action, however, the game moved at a still-smooth 80fps. It also dipped to roughly 60fps during loading sequences. Thankfully, Dead Space lets you preload the shader cache prior to the game's start, which makes the intro considerably smoother than games that don’t let you preload shaders.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
In the moment-to-moment gameplay, it literally feels identical, but that's because it is. Anything new in Dead Space doesn't enhance the experience, it detracts from it. So, we're left with a worse version of a game that looks vastly superior.
What do they mean by this?

So, basically just a nicer looking version of the original. Everything is the same.

Not true, but basically true, and they told you that when they announced the game. It's not RE2. Dead Space as a game never needed much updating, it just looks ugly now.
 
Will grab for PC once I’ve killed off a bit of my backlog. Glad to hear the port isn’t a fucking mess either, got this awesome computer but have been put off recently with some of the ports that have dropped.
 
Better in which way?

Maybe he wanted to make something different. He dedicated many years to the franchise already.

For all of its flaws, you cant say Callisto played it safe (at least in terms of gameplay). And I love it for it.
love what tho? it's just not good...

Really happy it’s reviewing so well. I can’t bring myself to drop 70 on it though. I’ll wait for a price drop.

I don't even remember original dead space being this good and this seems worse than original huh
Seems that I have to pick it up after finishing Forspoken. Pizza Tower also comes out today.

Damn, i just wish they would support Dualsense on PC also for people playing with PS5 Controller on Steam.
No dualsense on pc? This means ps5 should be a good choice

Dang, great scores. I'm not much of a horror guy but always liked the original. Might check this out eventually (after a price drop, too much $$)

Loved almost everything about the game. Wont derail the thread further tho, so thats that

Glad that the remake was well done. Looking forward to see about the PC performance.

But this is Frostbite, so I dont expect shader stutter and the like
