Dead Space remake story and setting
Dead Space remake is set in the year 2508. Humanity has exhausted all of Earth’s natural resources, forcing humans to search space for new materials. In order to gather these resources ships such as the USG Ishimura are built for planet cracking – in other words, mining other planets for their resources.
In Dead Space remake, engineer and ship system specialist Isaac Clarke boards the USG Ishimura in order to carry out repairs, only to make a horrific discovery. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered by an alien scourge, and Isaac’s partner Nicole is somewhere on board. Isaac has to rely on his engineering skills and tools to uncover exactly what has happened on the USG Ishimura.
Dead Space series gameplay
The Dead Space remake aims to recreate the intense and unnerving third-person horror action that the original was renowned for. Claustrophobic and narrow space station corridors can potentially house all sorts of nasties, known as Necromorphs. Thankfully, the best way of stopping these sinewy fiends will still be by amputating their limbs with the Plasma Cutter (after peeling off their skin). Additional weaponry should keep these hostile creatures at bay, too.
Another tool in Isaac’s arsenal is the environment itself. The Dead Space series has always encouraged players to use explosive canisters, airlocks, and other crude means to turn the tide against encroaching enemy creatures. Especially when you consider ammo is always scarce. Just don’t forget to drive your foot through the head of any fallen enemies, or risk them coming back to haunt you at a later date.
