The room in the remake can make one believe that a patient was here only to get attacked and dragged off the bed by necromorphs. This turns what would otherwise be an empty room into one with far more deep environmental storytelling. In the remake, this room was transformed into one with a medical bay, biohazard waste bin, diagnostic monitors, and of course the vast quantities of blood on the medical bed and floor. For example, in Dead Space (2008) there is a supply room in the Medical Bay where the player can find lockers, medical supplies, and the words “Is it safe?” written by someone. Some rooms have been remade to serve a new function. At this point in time, the USG Ishimura is 62 years old and these textures give that impression. These include rivets in the metal, latches where crew would remove the glass windows, the aged and chipped paint, as well as the glass covers blocking out the light fixtures. Below we can see various details added to the environment. The flesh tendrils now jut out from the wall and onto the ceiling portraying a more serious spread of this fleshy substance.Ī lot of work went into the finer details of the ship to make it feel more realistic and how the space was inhabited. The white light has been replaced with a pale yellow light, fog in the room lightly obscures one’s vision of the area, and much more numerous bits of debris and viscera adds to the unsettling nature of the room. Now we have the gravity centrifuge as seen in the 2023 remake. Bodies and viscera float around in the zero gravity environment with mounds of flesh building up on the sides of the walls. The original game uses a lot of gray tones with white lighting for a well lit room for you to fix the gravity centrifuge in. In this room, Isaac must repair the gravity centrifuge in order to prevent the Ishimura from falling into Aegis VII’s gravity well. Next there’s the gravity centrifuge from Chapter 3: Course Correction.

Do keep in mind that these three images were from a livestream from October 2022 and may not reflect the final product. With the addition of the textures, ambient occlusion, and fog to the scene, we can get an idea for how the finished product can look. You’ll notice new geometry added to the pre-existing geometry as they added more depth and detail to pre-existing objects. Next we have the modified version of the Headbanger Hallway for the remake. You might recall this part of the game where you hear a banging sound only to find a survivor with grievous wounds, banging their head against the metal walls. Instead, they utilize the last game’s assets made by Visceral Games and add to them by adding new geometry, shaders, and higher resolution textures.īelow is the geometry without textures for the “Headbanger Hallway” from Chapter 2: Intensive Care. As this is a ground-up remake, Motive Studio did not simply add new textures on the pre-existing models and call it a day. The first major difference that will be noticed are the visual improvements to Dead Space. In order to keep up with the times, this remake went for a ground-up approach instead of a remastered one.
