There are mounting reports that Electronic Arts is about to announce some sort of Dead Space remake, with the leading suggestion being a reimagining of the original game.
As someone who loves Dead Space, I should be happy about this news, but my apathy is palpable. I am not interested in EA's Dead Space, not after EA drove the series into the dirt and killed the original studio.
This isn't Dead Space. This is EA's Dead Space, and even if it's good, I want nothing to do with the company's opportunism.

I still remember the youtube vid bout how the guy in charge NEEDED the tentacle drag scene in the first dead space and went to ridiculous lengths to make it happen. That was some of the ridiculous passion and potential and passion visceral showed for dead space...I doubt we're gonna get that again and actively dread whatever little shit we gonna get instead.
To those interested, I believe he's talking about "How Dead Space's Scariest Scene Almost Killed the Game "
Its a cool watch, definitely recommend. ua-cam.com/video/BQ3iqq49Ew8/v-deo.html
Glen Schofield is his names hes actually making the game The Callisto Protocol, its just a teaser so far but it looks sick. www.callistothegame.com/en
@@soulschism6400 Yeah that too. I am looking forward to that. Apparently it is set in a pubg universe (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean)
Is that what happened? Dang, I actually thought that was a neat little part in the game by itself. Certainly took me off guard when it first happened.
Knowing that EA is looking to redo this whole thing, I doubt we're going to get that much passion. Not unless the original team, or at least most of it is involved.
@@soulschism6400 Woo! Looks interesting.
I only JUST got the “Evil, Actually” gag. I never claimed to be bright.
Me too.. at the time I was too busy wondering where my werebear went to
Thank you for posting this! I would not have realized there was something to get had you not written the comment.
This comment is the only reason I get the gag so thank you for doing the work for me
Oh fuck, THANK YOU.
also...Extremely Avaricious?
_"It turns out the_ *real* _horror was the Publisher all along."_ 😔
that's what we've learned today, kids!!
Yea, if EA could get away with it, they'd suck the value from every wallet like a damned Nomad Moon.
EA is to developers what The Great Old Ones are to H.P. Lovecraft protagonists: this old ineffable evil that will either eat you or drive you insane.
It was the greed of said publisher
It turns out the **real** horror was the friends we lost along the way.
I tend to agree. EA is an abomination and screwed over Dead Space hard and Visceral. I can't say I'm not happy about a remake as it seems interesting to me but really, whats to be done? Apart from Negative Atmosphere being worked on
I guess we could just not buy it as mentioned lol
I hope Negative Atmosphere and Callisto Protocol turn out well and you'll still be around to explain the biology of all the creatures
When RG says it then it's a "OH NO" moment.
It's Like we all want a dead space 4, but we may get a dead space remake they may or may not put politics in.
And not pay the original team or hire them back for this.
So many things wrong with this new dead space game that it's not funny.
"whats to be done?"
Yar har
fiddle dee dee
I'm not saying
But I think you see
Alternatively, just don't play it. I haven't bought an EA or Ubisoft game in years. I did buy Sekiro and that was published by Activision, but From is still an independent studio so...
Nostalgia and FOMO are not your friends.
@@Tee008 Bruh the original dead space is already political dumbass. It's literally dealing with the aftermath of capitalist over consumption destroying Earth and you dealing with the aftermath of the workings of a fanatical cult and corrupt government.
If the reviews are good I will play it; I won't buy it because fuck EA, but I will play it.
"Anyone can NOT sink millions into multimedia projects". That got me, lol.
Indeed Jim! I am really good at NOT sinking millions into pretty much anything!
It took me years of practice, but I think I've finally gotten the hang of not sinking millions into multimedia projects
Corporations like spending money in uncesarry amounts, I don't know why
He nails this point. EA literally fucked the potential for this game... 2 didn't need huge PR and marketing as the first game was so well received. Such a shame
The Callisto Protocol is the new Dead Space.
Dead Space is... Well, dead.
No.
Prepare for a generation full of remakes of games that are perfectly playable in their original form. Fuck these remakes. Give me exciting new experiences.
The main reason to play remakes is technical issues or console exclusivity. In this case, it's still a pretty damn old game, but it can be fixed.
What I'd really care about having remade is stuff that was exclusive, like the Ratchet and Clank Future series on PS3.
@@FelisImpurrator Those are still perfectly playable in their original form, and they'd still be exclusive if they were remade. If they want to remake something, they could remake the PS2 titles - properly this time, not that garbage "LOL we made Drek an idiot and replaced him with Nefarious in the final act" remake from 2016.
i didn't even like Mario All-Stars on SNES! Genesis had a Master System adaptor for crap sake!
Kinda shows how creatively bankrupt the big studios are, doesn't it...
@@mjc0961 They're playable if you have a PS3. The one PS system with zero backward compatibility support because Sony decided to make it with what might as well be alien technology as far as emulation is concerned.
At least the PS2 games run fine on PCSX2.
13:50 love how the Boglin is matching Sterling's hand gestures lol
LMAO I COULDNT STOP WATCHING THE BOGLIN
Steph used evil wrestling magic to turn Kim into a boglin, but she's still mocking them
And how its matching their outfit color too.
EA: We’re making a new Dead Space game!
Me: Visceral or it didn’t happen.
Ea motive is mostly visceral but with a different name.
@@speedking7224 goddamn
Deadspace is now LITERALLY a necromorph. Congrats EA, you've created a real horror.
No, I think it's a video game.
@@andrewstephenson9083 No, I think it is a monster
@@andrewstephenson9083 that worse
So is EA a brethren moon?
Didn't EA start that new game pass thing to try and kill second hand markets? Where you either bought the game new or had content locked off like the Cerberus Network in ME2 unless you the buy a fresh pass from them to unlock it again?
Yep. The online pass. You needed it to play mass effect 3, battlefield 3, dead space 2, and a couple other games online. If you bought the game second hand you needed to pay $10 to play the game online.
Yup. And don’t forget how they’d also pull shady shit like cutting day one content into preorder bonuses that were later sold for day one DLC. The ME3: From Ashes nonsense comes to mind where, if you wanted a character they clearly wrote to be integral to the lore development of ME3, you either had to preorder from certain retailers or pay extra for at release.
Yep because Gamestop was exploiting the used game market at the time. Of course, instead of trying to deal with Gamestop directly, EA decided to punish any consumers shopping there because it's always the consumer's fault. >.> And of course other AAA publishers at the time copied that practice. At least the practice died within a few years.
I could be wrong, but I think that may have originally been a Ubisoft thing, but that just might be because the first game where I noticed it was AC3 when I couldn't play multiplayer because I chose to rent it instead of buy it.
Yep, but to their credit (what little they're permitted) they did reverse that down the line and all "EA Pass" content got added as free DLC. I remember it with Alice Madness Returns
As always, there’s a tonne of comments from people who don’t realise that:
1) The Jimquisition has always drawn attention to the awful practices of the games industry. This seems to be perceived as perpetual negativity, but there’s other great series’ on this channel if hearing about the how the actual games industry functions isn’t for you.
and
2) That their anger would be better served being directed at the people responsible for shitty practices. Not at JSS for reporting on it. This channel has been putting out absolute quality content every week, without fail, for years.
Older Jimquisitions used to highlight the practices of these shitty companies with humour and wit, prodding people to make up their own minds. Recent ones however have a definite streak of nastiness in them and often come across as if they are lecturing the viewer as to what they should think.
So yes the Jimquisition has always drawn attention to the awful practices of the gaming industry. It's just to me the tone of how it does that has very much changed.
I imagine his constant focus on the worst aspects make him miserable though
Needs to focus on the fun side
@@voteDC There's only so much humor you (the general "you" not *you* "you") can use to sugar coat what can only be described as either pure evil or naked capitalism (same thing really) before you stop being able to be whimsical about it. Honestly, we should all be reacting this negatively because its only going to get more evil as these companies find new ways to give us a shorter and shorter end of the stick.
@@voteDC civility politics are bullshit
@@voteDC Personally, I think that the Jimquisition has always been hilarious. It’s probably pretty much impossible to be impartial all the time, particularly when issues directly affect them. But I guess that style isn’t for everyone 🤷♂️
Jim Steph: "What they DID!"
Me: Oh no, that's the "what they DID to Zhang He" level of anger...
Dead Space is Zhang He, and its survival horror elements are his claws. That makes sense, right?
It's so easy - never buy EA, never buy Activision, never buy Ubisoft, never buy 2K. You can ignore all these horrible companies and pretend their games don't exist at all and still have a universe of awesome content that you will never be able to fully experience before you're dead in the ground. We don't need them.
Can still play them though. Just need to put your pirate hat back on
Don't forget never play Bethesda...... Bethesda now is basically id software and their Doom games funding all the other crap that Bethesda is doing with their other studios.
Fans: Stirling, there's new boglins!
Stirling, sprawled on a throne of boglins: Who the fuck do you think I am?
Given how hard they tried to make dead space 3 a generic action game, it's a surprise it didn't feature a bow.
They would have had to make a new asset for that, instead of reskinning gun # 2309 from their archives.
Don't give them ideas!
EA: Write that down! Write that down!
A bow would have been too OP!
dead space reboot: a generic fps with nothing but loot boxes.
I, for one, am looking forward to the new Dead Space. It's gonna be one of the hippest Battle Royale games we've seen yet, kids!
Battle Royale?!
Jeez, can't they do something original, like a four player online coop shooter? We haven't had a new one of them in literally minutes!
This comment is going to age like fine wine.
*mobile game
EA is that you?
Can't wait to see Isaac Clarke dab on the necromorphs
"Let it die. Kill it if you have to."
Not the most original thought, but given that it seems to apply to nearly every once-beloved intellectual property under the current state of affairs, I figured it might bear repeating.
>bear repeating
OH NO
@@FelisImpurrator run.
this advice from a character you shouldn't really be looking to as a source of wisdom, meanwhile better mentors were suggesting the past and failures as things to learn from rather than emulate and repeat
@@Feasco It works in this scenario considering we have nothing to learn from E.A and it is literally illegal for E.A. to "learn" from its mistakes this way.
A lot of people love this line yet forgot that Kylo was wrong.
i mean, it’s called “Dead Space.” of course someone would dig its corpse out and turn it into a zombie.
So some of the makers of Dead Space are working on a new game Callisto Protocol. Now all of a sudden, Evil Actually wants to bring back Dead Space. Seems awfully convenient timing, no?
It's actually good timing........at least for Glen Scholfield and striking distance so we can see who the real premiere sci-horror dev and franchise is. The callisto protocol is going to be super quality unadulterated sci-horror without the imprint of EA's obtrusive pecker in it
That 'DID' was charged with loathing. Beautiful.
I remember playing dead space for the first time half-drunk at 1am because my mate told me it was a sci fi action shooter, i hate horror and got so scared at the first jump scare i threw my headset off and broke it.
Bit shit of your mate. Hope they paid for a new headset.
@@AsterInDis nar he laughed his ass off, it wasnt funny then but we laugh about it now
I was playing it at my boyfriend's place back when it was released. I had the cable plugged in to charge the controller, and when I got to the part where the little fetus monsters jumped out I flew off the couch so far and fast I nearly pulled the entire PS3 off the shelf. I got up, forced the console off by holding down the power button, and immediately went to bed.
@@ChristopherSadlowski - lol, that's such a good story! Appreciate your sharing, it made me laugh! I remember it with Resi 4 back in the day. I hadn't been gaming for about 12 years (the first, overhead GTA was what I'd last played!), and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Fell in love with gaming all over again
Thing is, Dead Space 1 does not need a remake, it holds up incredibly great.
Yes but most people interessted in it already own it and iirc it can be installed via a physical copy and runs offline. How is poor EA supposed to squeeze every little penny outta ya if it cant restrict you with unnecessary always online bullshit marketing solutions to problems they themselves implemented.
I just played through dead space on pc a few month back. Absolutely has no need for a remake
@@dylanlawrence5261 I've played all three games like 10 times or more, DS1 while old with clumsy controls, absolutely doesn't need a remake.
Just finished it a week ago... 3440x1440 and with some Reshade filters activated you can get this gem running at 120 fps looking damn fucking good for a 2008 game on PC
Remember to activate V-sync during just the very beggining so you can advance through the invisible wall and you're set!
It needs a remake since no one on PS4/ps5 can play 1/2
Everyone should check out The Callisto Protocol. It's being made by one of the co-creators and going by the trailer, it's aiming to be a spiritual successor to Dead Space.

Reject EA'S Dead Space
Embrace The Callisto Protocol
@@Sonichero151 Not co-creator. The creator.
The callisto protocol is the new dead space. I'm SOOOO much more excited for it than I am the dead space re-woke
Well, these comments didn't age well..
My favourite thing about the wreck that was micro-transactions in Dead Space 3 was a special bug and the reaction to it. EA were doing the standard gamer squeeze where they did let you have crafting components but not a lot so why not just pay them more money for more components? Except there was a bug involving a door that respawned components or something so you could get Unlimited Crafting!!! EA was obviously not happy about this and it caused enough of a stir to get onto the BBC News Website. Who, in their infinite wisdom, managed to dig up some dusty economics academic that was told a short bit about the situation while half asleep or something and came out with the amazing take: "Well if they're abusing the game to get something that they'd otherwise have to pay for then in my opinion that's stealing!"
Triple A Game Industry: "Why would we want a reliable dollar every year for decades, when we could mangle the product forever and get three dollars right now?"
This dead space thing is capitalism in a nutshell. Take a creative idea, exploit the people who made it, undermine it to be more commercial, "more profitable". Once it has lost its appeal, take it away from the original creators and bury it. Then later revive it and farm it out to someone else.
And you just know it's gonna be terrible, too.
Where's Emma Goldman when you need her?
That's the reality of the 'capitalism drives innovation' myth.
@@andarted It _does_ drive innovation. True, it drives it straight into the ground in a spectacular, life-destroying crash, but capitalism _is_ definitely the driving force behind that.
@Cripple Ninja I'm having a hard time telling the difference, apart from one being administered with a jackboot, and the other by "you will own nothing and be happy".
Gaming is built on capitalism though, Nintendo didn't get in this industry as a charity act. It's bizarre to love gaming yet hate capitalism.
It’s kind of interesting that this rumour starts after that Dead Space spiritual successor was announced a few months ago.
Thanks for mentioning this. I hadn't heard of it.
After some googling I assume you mean Callisto Protocol right?
Looks horrible in a good way!
Almost like EA realised that they couldn't get an easy win by rereleasing a HD version if this successor game happened to be good and functioned as a competitor.
Its kinda sad to remember thad DS3 was one of the first AAA single player games that had mtx as "time savers". What crap will they pull this time to make their franchise obsolete again?
The Callisto Protocol?
@@makeitthrough_ valve doesn't do that
When the they're making remakes of games still on my "to-do" pile. Eek
Go play Dead Space 1 right now. It's a masterpiece.
@@FutureNaught Fully agree, the first dead space is a sci horror gem. Second game's pretty good as well actually.
@tom gu thats what ur mom said when your brother was born HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA im so evil
REMINDER: The Callisto Protocol exists. Spiritual successor to dead space, made by the original dead space director and many of the devs from visceral. I'd much rather support them than EA's attempt to serve us lukewarm leftovers.
idk callisto protocol isn't looking too good...
@@thechugg4372 all we've seen is a cinematic trailer. What are you even talking about?

XD well, from what I'm hearing about Callisto now...
Damn EA to Hell.
Good luck to whoever's foolish enough, desperate enough, or stuck enough to be the ones working on making the new Dead Space project as good as they can. but to Hell with their executive lords who'll pocket any and all of the plunder, and leave the rest to starve.
Yaaaay Capitalism!
Never stop giving Ubi the gears
We are here knowing why Dead Space died.
Everyone else: yay more Dead Space!
Everyone knows why Dead Space died EA is clearly trying to turn over a new leaf and make more single player games without micro transactions that’s part of why people are excited of course I don’t think we should just accept their “apology” but if they can prove they’re changing through their games I’ll give it a shot
I'm somewhat hopeful after The Last Jedi and ME:LE. Obviously if the name EA is on a multiplayer game, its going to be ruined very fast, but they do seem to be pouring serious resources in singleplayer games now
There's a certain grim ironic amusement to knowing that EA's corporate necromancers will raise Dead Space as a soulless, shambling, undead parody of the franchise, something more truly disturbing than anything they could dream up as monsters in their games...
Well I for one am happy about it
I would absolutely watch a video on the concept of “ethical gaming” by Jim Sterling any day. You’re probably one of few people in the world even qualified to talk about it in any meaningful way!
Ethical gaming: Pirate every AAA game and use the money you save to take a chance on an indie game with no marketing budget
Looks like he's into children.

*THERE IS NO ETHICAL*
*CONSUMPTION UNDER CAPITALISM*
*SO ROB THE RICH AND PAY THE POOR*
It's actually REALLY simple. Only buy AAA games pre owned. That way you don't fund the publisher and can play any game you desire ethically.

I don't understand what there is to remake about Dead Space 1, it's a masterpiece and the graphics are still really good over 10 years later.
Definitely, the graphics still hold up today, mass effect though needed a remaster and got it, but dead space doesn't.
Jim-Steph sees the bottom of the truth: Sometimes dead is better.
There are worse fates than death.

Now if anyone can actually answer "Why should I give a shit" then we'd be interested in video games again, until then you're just accepting small moments of hype for no reason other than empty consumerism.
"Why should I give a shit?" You shouldnt, dont give a shit, in fact it's your patriotic duty NOT to give a shit.
It always makes me happy when I hear someone else liking Event Horizon.
On topic tho, I don't even think Dead Space even needed a remake. First one still holds up incredibly well.

Dead Space came out in 2008, was brilliant, looked beautiful and is so spectacularly optimised that I can play it on a laptop with integrated graphics with basically everything maxed out (but turn v-sync off!). The original is still available for dirt cheap on steam etc, and still looks and plays brilliantly today, There is no need for a remake at all. If you haven't played it yet, grab the original now and have one of the best survival horror experiences ever.
Awesome video. Agreed with everything said. Only wish you would have added the information that a portion of the original developers of Dead Space, who had left EA, are currently working on a spiritual successor called The Callisto Protocol. I believe that anyone who agrees with what you said and likes Dead Space should keep the Callisto Protocol on their radar.
I wont.

yeah, pain fades from memory so fast. but right now we cant even play the dead space 2 dlc on PC, the one with gabe. no achievement support for dead space 1 or 2. steam achievements for 3 are bugged so you dont get the 100% achievement even tho you've gotten everything else.
playing through these games are fun experiences, but its a constant reminder that once it's even barely considered unprofitable, EA will drop support and reassign all the devs to work on the next cash cow, cus of the industry it's in
So does that mean you buy zero video games because there will always be a negative review
@@BigFootTheRealOne en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_comprehension
@@BigFootTheRealOne bit of a difference between a negative review and what EA did to Visceral, pal.
EA is basically Mr Krabs in Color patties. Where SpongeBob had a good idea but he told him it was sht, then when they got success on they own he jumps on the ship but can't even do it well.
I feel they'll do a stupid thing with Dead Space, either gold editions or something to do with MTX
I think that episode was a dig at corporations anyway.
There’s a horror franchise company called Project Moon, which focuses on a series with no name as of yet with two games out called Lobotomy Corp and Library of Ruina. The first is SCP meets Zoo Tycoon, ish. You have to deal with rampaging monsters, bizarre infectious entities, etc.
While the latter is a card battle game, the excellent writing, awesomely drawn cutscenes, well written characters, and chilling horror make it still a very game to play. Now they are making a first person dungeon crawler, and following up with a numbered sequel that retains the management elements of the first game.
Also, despite having gone the route of putting important story bits in side works like a comic and a novel, they put them on a site completely free.
I could almost appreciate the irony of EA remaking a series involving dead people being remade into space mutant zombies. But then I remember what EA did to the original studio. So...fuck'em.
EA does this alll the time :-( My beloved Westwood studio was just killed the same way. Last year they gave us CnC Remastered and it made good money, but they dont plan in a new CnC. Good money is just not good enough T.T strange world we live in...
ikr.
I'm still sore about this too. They killed Westwood and then ran the series into the ground with C&C4

I feel your pain, James Stephanie Sterling. I loved the Dead Space series but there was absolutely no excitement or joy there for me when I heard the rumours of a Dead Space revival of some sort. I felt the opposite. If they really cared about the franchise, then why the feck did they kill off the studio and team behind it? This "revival" looks like some cash grab from EA, which surprise surprise, isn't actually a surprise. Then of all the nerve, if they're working on the series, they don't even have any of the original team on board. Why would I bother with Dead Space when parts of the original Dead Space team are making a new game that I can just get instead? I'll instead be spending my money on The Callisto Protocol and support whoever of the original Dead Space team is involved.
I'm not going to support EA and their crappy practices. Screw EA, Enough Already.
Wait, wasn't the AC Valhalla director who's joined Motive apparently to head up this project one of the sex abusers who actually got fired by Ubisoft???
The kirby music over dead space footage is just *chef's kiss*
You guys remember that time they put Isaac Clarke in Playstation All-Stars as DLC, and he was like a really fun character but it was still such a weird inclusion?
This is the first I’ve heard of it. It’s a lot cringier than I thought it’d be.
@@sonichedge80 Obviously he's held back by being in a game with a puny budget, and being a commercial for 3, but I really enjoyed his combo game.
Also the devs released his planned Dead Space 2 DLC costume for free when the development plug was pulled, which was nice.
Yeah, but it wasn't an unwelcome one. It sucks too, because Playstation All Stars if it was given More Love could have actually been good. It could have been PlayStations direct answer to smash brothers. If only they weren't scratching their asses and sniffing their fecal matter on their fingers.
They could have put in characters that everybody knows, like crash or spyro, and while they had a couple that I was genuinely happy about, like Sir Daniel or ratchet, Big Daddy and sweet tooth and a bunch of others, the roster had nothing on Smash brothers.
Really the only thing that I feel was genuinely cool to see where the stages being invaded by other ips. That's pretty much it. Isaac Clarke was a cool addition, but it was a cool addition to something that didn't matter.
Playstation All Stars needed a Power Stone style coop mode, and of course more than 4 characters to battle at once. A missed opportunity.
Damn she’s a cutie. Stephanie isn’t looking too shabby either
you should see what happens when you pull her eye toggles ;D
I was so pleased when this was announced on the Horror Gaming Subreddit - pretty much all the redditors there were telling EA to fuck off for what they did to Visceral Games.
The Dead Space Wii Shooter was a lot of fun, I'll say that.
Sucks that most of it is same old Ishimura
I’m waiting for Callisto Protocol. Made from original Dead Space creators and looks scary as hell, plus no EA bullsh*t. Look it up
Sounds promising
Why play a re-animated corpse of Dead Space when you can play Callisto Protocol. A spiritual successor made by some of the original developers without the malicious influence of EA.
Because I dont care about that IP and want Dead Space.
I do remember FEAR 3. I talk about how terrible it was to this day.
Lol I was going to say the same thing.
I got bored during lockdown and played through Fear 3 co-op with a mate as the ghost. It was almost kinda okay in places. I mean, still overall shit of course, but we did still bother to complete it. So that's something I guess.
@@IceKarma its like the sunk cost fallacy, you have to see it through to the end for some reason. Just such a let down especially when compared against FEAR 2.
It wasn't a great game, but playing it with someone else made it worth the sale price I got it for.
But hey, at least you don't get raped in that one, unlike 2.
@@IceKarma The co-op character was so much fun that I don't hate Fear 3. That character's attitude, gameplay, etc. was so damn fun it should have been what the whole game was built around. Without that character, it's complete trash.
There is only one redeemable way to do this:
1.Hire the people that created Dead Space
2. Finish the story those people tried to tell.
3. Don't do the usual interfering and let them make a horror game.
Dead Space 3 could have been great. The co-op made it unscary, and if you wanted the whole story you HAVE to play it as co-op, where you will probably not actually pay attention to said story.
The pay to win was utterly tone deaf:
It's supposed to be a resource scarce horror survival; and they SELL resources and better guns.
That's like wanting to climb a mountain and a company asking if you want to flown to the top with a helicopter.
At least they set up the finale of the Dead Space story.
A conclusion we fans will never, ever get.
Im definitely interested in what comes of the reboot, but the chances of me spending money on it are beyond non-existent (Arr!). Im much more interested in giving my money to Callisto Protocol, since that has you know....the actual people who made Dead Space working on it
Callisto Protocol you say? Thank you for the heads up. I am off to google that.
Glenn Schofield, who worked on the original Dead Space (I believe as creative lead or director) is heading up Callisto Protocol. It basically looks like Dead Space in the PUBG universe (whatever the hell that is). Trailer looks *very* promising
@@ModuRaziel Appreciate the heads up. Thank you for the reply also. :) Wish you well.
@@ModuRaziel Just watched a couple of trailers. Looks amazing.
@@blockboygames5956 ya man can't wait to see more about it
I have been boycotting and pirating EA games for about a decade now. How they treated Bioware and fans of Mass Effect around the release third game was the start of me no longer buying anything from EA.
I've been boycotting the since Starforce (DRM)
The joy I receive knowing I'm pirating a scammed game that took those poor developers a really long time to make, just so the corp can suck the life out of it and try to get as much money as possible from the consumer. Ahhhh yesss zero money is what they get and it feels glorious.
There is nearly no reason to boycot EA. I mean in order to boycot them i need to be intereeted in the first place. There haven't been many good EA games - so very easy to not buy anything EA realated.
Bought Fallen Order under 20 bucks though. It was good but not very good.
Soooo, uhhhhh... Hypothetically... If a person wanted to investigate such places to find these games, where would one have to look? If, like, y'know, they just wanted to see what those websites looked like? So they knew how to avoid them in future?
Of course, not for piracy. That'd be totally and completely immoral!!!
@@smogstreaming You definitely shouldn't search -redacted- at all into google, it's just a place where users share files but definitely not games.
Everyone is taking about Dead Space hoping EA does good, all while Respawn Entertainment is hoping to hush up the hackers pushing for Titanfall fixes
I just want them to NOT REQUIRE ORIGIN for Titanfall 2 on Steam, cause every time I install Origin it tries to brick my PC. I don't need it for Apex Legends, so stop making me need it for fucking Titanfall 1 or 2.
I look forward to the news that EA has reopened Visceral, rehired every available employee they left out in the cold, AND given them full backpay, the ONLY news that would ever entice me to give even the slightest of a damn about any sort of Dead Space reboot...
I never knew much about Dead Space but I can easily understand why this is such a big problem.
If some scumbag corporation took a thing you loved, smashed it into pieces, pulled their pants down and took a hard piss on it; then years later, shovel up the dusty remains, shoddily put it back together with cheap duct tape and nasty-ass smelling glue, and has the balls to charge you money every 20 minutes of using it...
Would you be grateful they bothered giving it back to you in the first place?
My friends just plan on torrenting it when it comes out. We don't want to give EA money. In 2022 though glen schofield, the man behind dead space, has his own game coming out called callisto protocol. So we can all look forward to that
Place your bets! How many microtransactions can EA stuff into Dead Space 1? The answer may surprise you!
$2.99 for choosing a different RGB color of the suit hud. $9.99 for a different suit color. $4.99 for weapon color. Then there the pay2win stuff. There! Don’t even need to work for EA to make a good list! Also I’m conservative on the pricing I think :(
The answer is yes. Like, all of it.
How many microtransactions were in Jedi Fallen Order?
@@KyleS.1987 none, as far as I’m aware :). So yeah maybe they have learned their lesson
@@KyleS.1987 keep in mind they alread pissed off ppl with bf2 and brought government attention to lootboxes. Ruining another star wars game would have been ill-advised.
Representing executives as Skeksis.
I'm gonna call them "Exeksis."
Feel free to yoink that if you appreciate it.
There was an official The Dark Crystal manga that compared the Skeksis to corporate culture, featuring the parodic company Skeksicorp.
@@autobotstarscream765 Feels a little too on the nose, but not exactly unfair.
Dead Space needs no fucking remake. It is a X360/PS3 game, not a PS1 like RE2 or RE3. Remaking Dead Space is almost as dumb as remaking TLoU.
The hat and the hat/goggle combination are both FABULOUS!
Some of Stephs vids should just be titled " and the sky is blue"
"Do you remember FEAR 3?"
Damn you sterling I tried to forget 😭😭😭
The fact that people have been complaining about Jim having "changed" and being too "political" (read: talking about and being LGBTQ+), this episode is tonally identical to episodes from *years* ago. You could travel back in time, release this video and (aside from the topic being from the future) no one would be any the wiser. If you think Jim has changed, they haven't, you're just a bigot.
Hbomber made a video that's I think at least 4 years old now on Fallout New Vegas and there's a small comment he makes in the grander video that I still think about to this day. I don't remember the exact quote verbatim, but essentially when people complain about politics in gaming (and games in general) they're often complaining not about the politics being present, but it not being the 'right' kind of politics. "If it doesn't validate my preconceived and narrow views, I don't want to see it."
Same concept here, really.
I mean... anyone that has been following Jim on social media for at least a year and has watched some of his videos shouldn't be the least bit tad surprise, honestly
gamers getting mad that their games are shit because of a economic ideology but get mad if you bring it up lmfao
Exactly. I wasn't very interested in a few of the videos Jim made lately. But this one and the the new squirty plays I really enjoyed.
I mean I would argue Jim has become more stylized in their videos, but that was because the old commercials at the start irrationally annoyed me and I wish I knew why.
It's very appropriate for EA to basically murder Dead Space, then reanimate the corpse and puppet it around for it's own malicious ends.
A remake of the OG dead space??? Weird choice for a game that hasn’t even aged that much
agreed just put the original on current gen consoles.
They have to keep inventing different ways to sell us the same products relentlessly. Why own one game once, when you can own it 4 or 5 times!
Event Horizon is still the best Doom movie, though :P
Ghosts of Mars is a better Doom movie, EH is the 40K prequel movie.
Never travel through the immaterium without a Gellar field, kids.
Dead Space…. As in dead space visible in EA games studios line-up because of the suppression of Visceral Games ?
So EA plans on skinning the long dead corpse of Dead Space, wearing its rotting flesh as a skin suit and parading around in front of the IPs former fanbase asking for nostalgia money to be placed in its g string? Yep, that’s the EA we know and hate.
There's that new (not) Dead Space game being made by it's former devs. Hopefully it'll be good.
Dead space (like RE4) aren’t dated enough to warrant the remake treatment. I get reboots like doom and the new tomb raider trilogy because they update the originals and are new and keep the core with new mechanics. I get RE2&3 and FF7 remakes because the originals are dated visually and clunky. Dead space and RE4 don’t need that treatment so it feels like a cash grab
I understand the RE4 a lot more. Out of all the RE games it's the one that has been ported the most and it just makes more sense to remake it at this point as I think right now it's actually been ported over all consoles. So a remake is way less of a cash grab if they plan on giving it the RE:2 treatment.
@@Hayson898 I don't think RE4 should be remade at all. The game is already perfect and is already a third-person action horror game with the camera over the shoulder. The only things left to change to 'modernise' it are the couple of things that make it feel so unique. That and the graphics, but a graphical update alone is just a remaster.
RE2 and 3 on the other hand were totally different types of gameplay from their remakes, so it feels more warranted to remake that from the ground up as everything needs to be changed (even though I prefer the original RE2 and 3 to the remakes, personally). You're really changing everything about the game when you go from fixed cameras and auto-aim to full camera control and manual fine-aiming. The type of gameplay RE4 already has is just too similar to that to warrant a remake in my opinion, moreover as the couple of gameplay changes that would be needed to fit it to that mould would hinder much of what makes the original RE4 feel as good and special as it does.
@@Gaff.
Don't get me wrong, I do see your point but RE4 has been remastered and put on every console. I remember before RE7 was announced the jokes that Capcom wasn't going to make another resident evil game and just constantly port RE4.
Side note: it's on iOs, and android (Resident Evil 4 mobile). It's been ported to the Wii, the Switch, Windows, Ps2, ps3, xbox 360, ps4, xbox one and the....oculus quest 2?!?(what?!)
When RE2 remake was out the talk of wanting RE4 to be remade instead of another HD remaster was there, and when RE3 was announced and out I noticed that more people talking about that and wanting it. So to me it just seems like a natural conclusion, like of course if we're gonna remake 2 and 3 then next would be remaking 4 and hey maybe they'll remake 5. I wanna see how they'd have Chris punch a boulder without it being just as comical or adding more comedy to it since I do notice that they try to world build a bit more in the remakes.
The game came out in 2005 and while easily available I think that a remake would bring in the younger generations and more money then another remaster. Also they're not going to take away the remastered versions, so you can play those instead. I am a bit sad that they are not going in order, and are doing RE4 before Code Veronica though.
@@Hayson898 From a business standpoint, sure, remaking RE4 is probably a pretty good idea considering its popularity and status as a classic, alongside the fact that there are younger people that feel they should have been 'warned' the game uses only one analogue stick for movement and the other one barely controls the camera. But to me, that's what makes RE4 the game that it is. I have a big problem with how nowadays, more and more people just want every game to play and feel almost identical, and outright blame the game itself when it doesn't. I would blame the industry for pumping out nearly identical games every five minutes and training people to feel weird if a game doesn't immediately feel 100% comfortable the first time you pick it up.
This seems to be an unpopular opinion but RE5 is one of my favourite games of all time. Ironically, Jim complained about companies shoehorning co-op into games during that time, but my girlfriend and I have a really hard time finding games with local co-op these days, moreover games that are worth bothering with. As a single-player experience or a horror game, RE5 is far less worthwhile, but as a local co-op action game, I think it's the best one out there. Best I've played anyhow.
I can't say I'm sad or excited about a RE4 or C:V remake or what order they go in. If they make it, I'll try it, but I don't have any expectations on it either way. I thought RE2 2019 was great but prefer the original. RE3 2020 was a major disappointment however. In both cases, I wouldn't even consider them the same game as the original, but a totally different experience using the same story germ ideas. I'm actually more interested in a completely new game in the style of RE2 2019, particularly the way they did the No Way Out mini-game. Something about that was just really bang on and tight. As far as the main game, I really only loved the police station, though the rest isn't bad or anything.
@@Gaff.
Yeah I see what you're saying. While I am the same age as Ray I actually never got to experience the RE series or any of the classic console games (unless you count Nintendo boy colour and rest of the Nintendo handheld line) so those controls and cameras don't stick to me like they would you or other who have played them, the only one that didn't greatly annoy me or give me a hard time while playing on the lowest difficulty was RE 1, but that game was made with that control scheme in mind so yeah I get your view point.
I don't think your opinion on RE5 is bad at all, actually(at least on the side of the internet I've been too) that's a pretty common one. It's a good and fun co-op game but if you're going into expecting resident evil horror then you will be disappointed. I will cut critics slack on that because at the time it came out I think co-op was sort of being pushed into a lot of games. I can't remember too well but I think this was around the time AAA publishers were saying "horror games are dead" and that everyone wanted co-op.
I don't hype myself up for games, but I will always try to remain cautiously optimistic, and interested in where a series, reboot or development team goes next(Unless its EA, because at this point we know what will happen.) So yeah I am in the same boat as you with wondering what RE9 will be.

I love that your outfits keep getting more outrageously colourful.
What's the inspiration?
I assume being the baddest bitch and making sure everyone knows it.
A dead franchise based around corpses being resurrected by an evil entity to rampage among the living is being resurrected by EA.
You have to admit, there is a bit of closed-circle poetry to that.
Many companies can get away with evil because we need what they sell. That doesn’t apply to video games. A company that destroys talented studios, uses micro transaction, or abuses workers is showing contempt. Walk away and never look back.
I remember when Dead Space 3 came out and I wondered where the Dead Space had gone
Same with Lost Planet 3 at the same time? Two franchises I loved and they seemed to just have... switched out?
I mean at least it didn't quadruple down on dumb villains and make Issac an idiot like Dead Space 2 did.
Event Horizon caught me off guard man. Proper horror.
Ikr, I was not expecting dude to be crazy from the start.
@@BusinessPlot Stupidly, I was expecting a typical space/sci-fi film.
@@BreakingKarl Yeah I think it's because it starts off being super generic, just feels like an alien/Stargate knock off. Then it sprinkles in the madness and horror.
@@BusinessPlot Yea, that’s exactly it!
I love when EA lunches a game that I really want. It means that I can download it for free and dont feel bad about it
>"reimagining" Dead Space 1.
And by that they mean shove in microtransactions, forced always online, and loot boxes. And clean out all the charm the game had.
But they wont do that.
I am in a similar mindset. I loved playing Dead Space when I was younger. Dead Space 2 wove in psychological horror into the game seamlessly. Dead Space 3 was a betrayal that I still played because it was a Dead Space game and I was sucked into the story.
The thing I really hate is that if this reboot succeeds they will keep doing it. And if it fails the executives will just lay people off instead of taking a hit to their growing hoard of useless money.
same for me, i got a love/hate relationship for the remake
love the dedication (not you RE3)
hate the marketing
but at the end of the day, re2 is 20+ year old game. Dead space isnt, Dead space is something you could enjoy in 2010s and 2020s
Jason Schreier's new book "Press Reset" talks about this debacle and about lots of the other studios they shuttered. Very readable and juicy, high recommend!
