This means the people who recreated the horror of DSR loved the OG as much as I did.Īnd allow me just to state for the record now: they did a damn good job. And some of them got to work on the Dead Space Remake (hereafter referred to as DSR). Just as I hold the original Dead Space (hereafter referred to as the OG) near and dear to me, thousands of others out there hold it equally near and dear.Īnd some of those people are game developers, directors, and artists. Similar to the abominations that Hollywood produces when adapting novels, I saw this as an attempt to pervert the original. I saw this as an opportunity for some hot-shot, spoon-fed, clueless writer to ‘make a name for themselves’ by rewriting something that was damn near perfect.

I had been a gamer before my hospital stay but hadn’t kept up with modern consoles. In 2009 I got out of the hospital after a short stay and was told by my doctors that my recovery would be “timely.” I was instructed to pick up some sedentary hobbies to keep me occupied while my body healed.Īt that point in my life, I was reading like a maniac, devouring every Star Wars novel on the planet, but I figured I would need something more engaging than books to keep me sane for the foreseeable future.
