The newly announced remake of the first entry in the Dead Space series will bring massive visual and atmosphere improvements over the original, which look even more impressive when footage from the two games is put side to side.
Following the remake’s reveal, ElAnalistaDeBits shared on YouTube an early comparison video that highlights all these massive improvements. The new lighting system, in particular, will make the game darker, and improve its atmosphere quite a bit.
The Dead Space remake is currently in development for PC and consoles by Motive Studios. Powered by the Frostbite Engine, the game is coming to current generation consoles exclusively due to the consoles’ SSD storage that has allowed the developer to get rid of all load times.

Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast, sprawling starship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and infected by some alien scourge…and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board. Now Isaac is alone with only his tools and engineering skills as he attempts to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura.
