After weeks of speculation, EA Motive devs revealed during a Livestream on Friday that Dead Space Remake will be released in early 2023. The Livestream also revealed how the crew is working to improve the audio in the original Dead Space.
“We want to make sure that we’re in a place where the game we’re gonna deliver is gonna be delivering on the expectations of fans,” explained Dead Space remake senior producer Philippe Ducharme.
“Right now, we’ll say, early next year. We have a date in mind,” before adding, “we’re… just a couple of weeks away from doing our first full walkthrough of the game”. Ducharme pointed out, “we’re still pre-alpha, but we believe we’re gonna be in a solid position..to meet the date that we have in mind”.
The webcast can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube. Some of it was spent talking about the game’s audio with creative director Roman Campos-Oriola and audio director Olivier Asselin. They talked about how weapons like the legendary Plasma Cutter will sound, as well as how breathing and even heart rate will contribute to the game’s ambience.
The dialogue of protagonist Isaac Clarke will alter depending on how fatigued he is. A.L.I.V.E is the name of the system that implements these functionalities. Adrenaline, Limbic System Response, Intelligent Dialog, Vitals, and Exertions are the letters that make up the acronym.
Clarke will have three different renditions of each sentence, based on his current state: Normal, Fatigued, and Injured. In comparison to later instalments, Clarke was a mute protagonist in the first game.
EA Motive aims to offer another developer update sometime in May, according to the Livestream. The art design for the Dead Space remake will be the centrepiece of that update.
EA Motive debuted an early pre-production video of the game in August. It highlighted some of the recent modifications and enhancements. Improved dismemberments in the game were among them.
