The work, which was supervised by Glen Schofield (later creators of The Callisto Protocol), won the hearts of multitudes of gamers around the world. No wonder, then, that EA Motive decided to give a second life to this flagship title. The result is Dead Space Remake.

A game too scary even for developers
Perhaps many gamers wonder about the point of embracing a title whose original version you know better than the palm of your hand. However, it is worth remembering that the remake of Dead Space has been thoroughly improved over the original. While we're still talking about the same plot (with a few minor exceptions), the visual and sound layers have been adapted to current high expectations.
Especially the latter aspect is expected to literally make our hair stand on end. This was the experience shared by one of the developers, David Robillard, who holds the position of technical director of the project. He claims it's hard to play the remake at night with headphones, because it's too scary. Here is what he said in an interview with the PLAY magazine (via Gamesradar):
"When I'm playing it at night, I can't play it with headphones. It's just too fucking scary. Just the amount of realism and, again, atmosphere. Not just visually, right? In the way we handle sound, ambience, effects, having systems that will try to spook you. These things, you know, could have been done [on PS4], but not to the level we're doing them today."
