![]() That’s thanks a lot to the sage inclusion of an intensity director, built to ensure the lulls never really (Necro)morph into lullabies. Unlike the original, you never really feel safe. Dead Space is oozing with horrific atmosphere, sometimes literally. I fall into the latter camp, and I was on board from the get-go. Whether you’re a first-time Dead Space-r or a seasoned Necro-stomping veteran, you’re in for a treat. Playable character Isaac Clarke and his crew turn up to a ship devoid of human crew but packed to the gills with all manner of body-morphed terrors. The haunting comes in the form of horrifically deformed Necromorphs and the house is the USG Ishimura: a so-called planet cracker spaceship that’s dug up something it shouldn’t on its farewell voyage. The attention to detail afforded by 15 years of hardware advancements is put to expert use here by Motive Studio, the legends behind the criminally underappreciated (and under-supported) Star Wars: Squadrons.įor those unaware, Dead Space is a survival-horror game set in a giant futuristic haunted house. Thankfully, these new levels of fidelity are used to up the fear. With the Frostbite engine powering it, Dead Space has never looked better.Įye candy is one thing, but it doesn’t count for much if the rest of the elements aren’t there. Comparing Dead Space of yesteryear to the Dead Space remaster, and the difference is night and day. The thing is, The Callisto Protocol has every right to be afraid because this Dead Space remaster is incredible.ĭespite being a seventh-generation game, the original Dead Space was a surprise launch from EA that looked really, really good in 2008. That new kid is The Callisto Protocol, and it’s frightened of a remake of a 15-year-old iconic survival-horror game: Dead Space. Oliver's piece comparing the three systems against one another will provide more detail when it arrives.You know that the new survival-horror kid on the block is scared when it pushes out an inexplicably missing New Game Plus mode ahead of schedule. If you can't wait for that patch and have a choice, I'd recommend playing on Xbox Series X over PS5 right now. The good news is that the dev team have officially acknowledged the issue and are working on a patch to improve things on console while offering the option to disable VRS entirely on PC. Essentially, darker areas of the image use more extreme VRS, resulting in serious pixelation which seems to scale with the internal rendering resolution. This feature is enforced across every platform but the software VRS solution used specifically on PS5 has a serious problem - it basically ruins image quality. Conceptually, the renderer should retain full shading rate for well-lit areas you're likely to focus on, while darker scenes can use a reduced rate with larger blocks. This feature is designed to save on performance by varying your shading rate dynamically across the frame. These resolutions are reasonable, but the Variable Rate Shading doesn't work as it should. not on par, visually, with Callisto Protocol, but very good.many areas are significantly larger with changes to the design.Oliver will be doing a performance video later.a patch is being worked on for consoles and pc.on ps5, a software solution is used, it's very messy.variable rate shading being used on all systems.not a major change, but fills out the image well.sound respects the physical properties of the object it's bouncing off of.sound propagates throughout the environment realistically.extensive use of surround sound and deep bass.particles interact with the environment and characters.light beams accurately interact with glass surfaces.volumetric fog over the original's billboards.loose objects have physics and can be interacted with.geometric complexity has massively improved.by tracking player position and camera, any combination of necromorph events can spawn.intensity director is built into the level streaming system.in the remake, the area is now one map, dressed differently between the two chapters one area that's reused in two chapters are actually two different maps. ![]() ![]() original environment was physically implausible for seemless design.fully streamed environments wasn't a feature of the Frostbite engine, so they had to make changes to the tools to make it work.original actually ran well on both 360 and ps3, which was rare.original game was built on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour engine.
