I've always found video game remakes particularly fascinating compared to retreads and revivals in other mediums, and from this point forward I will point to Dead Space whenever people ask why. But the changes that the remake had the confidence to make have turned a classic of its time into an unquestionably timeless classic. I suspect many people would've been fine with a standard remaster just gussy it up and ship it out, making it easier to play on modern platforms. Besides updating the graphics and sound, Motive barely needed to change a thing for this remake. Luckily, I don't have to rely on memories anymore, because Motive's only gone and dropped a stonking great remake that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Dead Space was at least 15 years ahead of its time.
