I got it as a birthday gift from my brother. I didn’t find it that scary, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

    Did you play the original or was this your first Dead Space game? At the time when it came out the original game was scary af. At least for someone of my age back then. It had a lot to do with the unusual lateral camera position, i think that’s what scared me the most. The second game was good too but not as scary. Maybe because by then i had gotten used to the genre. I would still recommend it to anyone who liked the first one.

        I’ve always thought (and still do) that making remakes is just developers being too lazy and unoriginal to make something new and going with a safe bet instead, but i guess the good thing about these remakes is it gets people into playing older games that they otherwise would not have picked up. One thing they can’t do though is recreate the impact these games had at the time. We weren’t as used to this kind of game as we are now so they just hit harder then.

        Or maybe i’m just old and jaded…

          I agree but I’m still happy to get a remake and play it again! No the kids will never be able to appreciate it properly. Same for for older music for most of us. We can never understand the impact of the Beatles for example. It is what it is.
