Almost as if EA is letting their studios do kinda whatever they want lmao. If this keeps netting me singleplayer games from Bioware I dont care.

In speaking with the EA Motive leads, the duo made it clear that this is not just a polished up version of the original Dead Space - though they’re obviously referencing the original game, and working with a hefty amount of development data, they’re completely rebuilding and remaking the game in EA’s Frostbite engine.

“Then in terms of visuals, sound, gameplay, everything, we are rebuilding all of these assets. We are not porting them, it’s not uprezzing the texture or adding more polygons to the model. It’s really rebuilding all these elements, shooting all the animations, et cetera.”

“We want to make that immersion even deeper with a fully interactive experience, from the start screen to the end credits. We don’t want anything to pull you out of the experience and we don’t want any cuts,” Campos Oriola said. [The faster SSDs of new consoles mean] there’s not going to be any loading. There’s not going to be any moment where we’re going to cut your experience, where we’re going to cut your camera. You can play it from the start screen to the end credits seamlessly.”

“We wanted to use the sounds you’re used to as well and improve those sounds, and improve this immersion so the sounds of the door that you’re hearing, the sound of the health bar, the sound of the creatures… we’re building on top of the original and recreating it, but [we] make sure it is true to the original and that we are honoring the legacy of the original game,” Ducharme said, while also discussing how the addition of 3D audio could add to the experience.

“3D audio [will also add the] understanding of where the sound comes from, having the right propagation, in the corridors, making it come from the vents above you, or behind you. These are all things that we’ll be able to expand on to increase the level of immersion.”

“We don’t want to be in siloed and create our own bubble of the game we’re making. So from the conception, we’ve reached out to members of the community to create a community council to be a sounding board for what we were making. Making sure that if we’re deciding to make a change, we want to be able to explain it and get told if, ‘No, what are you doing? What were you thinking? You’re actually breaking the game, why are you changing this,’” Ducharme explained.

“We’re also learning from mistakes such as microtransactions, which we will not have, for instance, in our game,” he continued, confirming that the team “never” has plans to introduce microtransactions in any way to the remake.

EA can do whatever the fuck they want with FIFA at this point cuz Ive given up on it ever improving, but they just gotta let everyone else under them do what they want and if that means a 20+ million playerbase game like JFO from Respawn or EA Originals like It Takes Two, Knockout City or Lost in Random, or Dragon Age and Mass Effect singleplayer only sequels, and now Dead Space, shiiiyut, keep em coming.

this is really cool to hear. It just makes me think of all the shit 343 could have perhaps learned from in their earlier days if they had this sort of community thing, but then again, I’m very confident that Dead Space community is exponentially less divided than the Halo one lol

and less toxic for that matter

lol i had originally written “less divided and toxic” but edited out the latter, but thanks for readding it haha

Yea its insane its like the halo community doesn’t know what it wants at times

So jedi fallen order’s success got us a new Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Dead Space… :wink:

Dragon Age been a known thing since before Fallen Order and Mass Effect Legendary Edition more of trying to get Bioware some good will after a rough generation.

Dead Space is a result of JFO tho.

Bioware are developing a new Mass Effect, that’s what I’m referencing…

Oh

Still think that one is to show people that IP isnt Dead and they have faith in Bioware but yeah the success of JFO surely helped here.
