No they don't, it's hilarious how all the fake fans are coming out of the woodworks complaining about a silent Isaac in Ds1, when it did wonders for the game's atmosphere

I think I'm too old for this shit. I don't find any of it scary. It's silly. I legitimately burst out laughing at 10:43.
Not in RPGs.

WHY IS ISAAC TALKING ??????????
I, for real, didn't knew that they changed this. Fuck. I thought it added SO MUCH to the first game. And it was designed like that...
And honestly Dead Space didn't need a full remake imho, something like Mass Effect Legendary Edition would've been enough as those game aged like fine wine.

What a shame they replaced the dude from 300 and Spartacus.

The more horror protagonists talk the more it takes me out of the game.

I'm surprised they didn't give her purple hair to really complete the Admiral Holdo look.

One thing I dislike is Isaac's walking animation. Like he needs to go to the bathroom quick.

Zero interest in a remake. The first one still looks good at higher resolutions. Doesn't feel necessary at all.
I'll play it in a few years on Gamepass I guess.

Not interested in the slightest, I'd rather play the original.
It's not just that I already felt like this was an unnecessary remake (like so many others coming out), but now, after seeing all those things they've changed just because... nah, they can keep it.

I’m not seeing anything that screams remake. The original game still looks great on PC.
I’d need a side by side comparison.

Buying this day one because it's just a 1:1 with better graphics but I just love consuming new products.

Hang on a minute, I never played the game when it came out but fired it up on GP yesterday (man that 360 resolution), but this looks like the exact same game but with some new objects and textures. Am I wrong here? Is it just the OG polished up? Can't be built from the ground up right?! Am I crazy or does it look EXACTLY the same?

The more i learn about this "remaster" the less i want to play it.
I thought Remaster means stay true to the original and improve the graphics or something?

The only thing that hasn't aged well about the original IIRC, is the gamepad controls of the PC version. It doesn't feel right.

Can't wait. I didn't play the first (and im not going to) and this looks incredible to me, I hate silent protagonists most of the time so I don't mind that aspect at all.

This is going to be great, because they are implementing that new system which adds a bit of randomness to the enemy encounters. Dead Space has always been great, but once you realized that each monster encounter was triggered by you walking past a certain point in the level, or doing a specific action, it took some of the thrill away. Now, we really should be having some unpredictable encounters from time to time.

Yep, and mouse controls are kinda fucked too. Thankfully there seem to be fixes for both issues already.

No idea what you meant by fake fans, but I played 1 and 2 on release and I liked 2 more partly because the guy could actually talk.

I'm a little bit salty that they pour so much money into remaking Dead Space while Mass Effect 1 only got a minor graphical upgrade (that in many places disrespects original vision).

Well one third person horror flopped, lets see if the second one can do justice even if its a remake.

This is what I'm afraid of the most, the "intensity director" sounds like a cool name for tons of enemy respawn on backtracking. Will it shower you with ammo? I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe that's the reason why they can't speak.

Exactly. At least animate a startled reaction. I knew people were going to use this topic to bash CP, but I actually prefer the more cinematic approach of CP. Both are great games though.*crewmate gets ripped to shreds right in front of him*
Isaac:

Looks great but I can't Play horror games. Fear, TLOU and Bioshock are my maximum limit.

I mean, in some cases, it really works IMO. Like in a futuristic setting like Dead Space's, I feel. Especially in the ones they've already shown. I understand there's beauty in simplicity in some cases. The cool thing about remakes is that they don't replace the original. So, if you're into it, great! If not, ignore it, and continue to appreciate the original.
Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorite games ever, and I'm very hesitant on the remake. But hey, if it sucks, the original is still there. As well as the enhanced mod which is insanely good.
Definitely some IGN gameplay, lmao.

Ok, so this looks like a great remake, cant wait to play it.
The "girlfriend" line doesn't necessarily mean *HER* girlfriend though. It's about the context of the conversation, they were talking about Isaac listening to his girlfriends recording over n over, so her saying "yeah, i'd rather listen to my girlfriend than Hammonds military crap" is just her empathizing with Isaac.
And those saying it's just a 1:1 with just a graphics upgrade, it's not. They've already said it's got the extra dialog, extra rooms, new gore system and that system that determines enemy placement so no playthrough will be exactly the same, which all sounds great to me?

Thanks! Original definitely holds up, but the lighting and effects look nicer in the Remake.

I would have less of an issue with remakes if they all had button or other version to switch too.
usually best original versions of the game just need higher res and fps. Thats's why silent hill 2 still is best on ps2 or mgs on ps1

Like Fallout 1 or 2, for example.

Man, in a perfect world we'd have something like that all the time. Just insanely well done remasters that allow you to go back and forth. I've loved the games that have done that so far, and it's always so impressive and cool to go back and forth.

Not an RPG, since you can't roleplay because your character is already set to "Geralt of Rivia".

What time is it?
I can't believe they spoiled the first 18 minutes of this remake.

Yeah that intro where the lady not only goes "I miss my girlfriend" but also shows how smart and sassy she is because out of nowhere she dunks on her boss that he checked her file is some weapons-grade cringe. So unnecessary.
I don't have a problem with Isaac talking, but if you do that you better go all the way. You can't have a talking protagonist and then have him be dead fucking silent when his teammate gets ripped to shreds by some insane monster.
I dunno about this one, man. It has "okay but nothing else" all over it.

What about it? What about Mass Effect 1? What are you trying to prove?
Silent protagonist works great in RPGs where you role play as your own character. Voiced protagonist works great in RPGs where you role play as an established character.

Exactly.
