so why did this remake flop exactly? I bought it for 5 bucks and played it and it's really good
>>743256123>why did this remake flopIt did? Is this another situation like DS3 where EA expected for it to sell 6 gorillion copies
It only sold 2 million copies.
Wasn't needed
>>743256123>remake perfect game just to add political shit
>>743256217Yes. EA has realized that games can make WAY more money with season passes and loot boxes and other horseshit, so they've raised the standards for profit to games that make that kind of money. When you just sell people a solid, single player, self contained experience: people buy it and that's it's. There's no whales to milk, there's no millions in micro transactions and recurring charges that people forget to cancel, nothing. So they consider it a "flop" and cancel the series again.
>>743256390>>743256367Having a half decent PC port that doesn't take a shit if you run it at 31 fps instead of 30 would have been nice.
>>743256390>political shitsuch as?>>743256469it did stutter quite a bit but it was extremely playable for me
>>743256390it plays better than the original. it looks better than the original with the exception of mocap and face models.
>>743256123I despise what they did to the story. It was completely unnecessary, the original is phenomenal, just do it one to one. No, add this retarded subplot where Hammond thinks a necromorph is the nameless faceless pilot that died immediately. Inject a character who's entire story could fit into audio logs in the original and make her an integral part of the twist ending, ruining it. Show the last conversation that Isaac and Nicole had, ruining any and all mystery. Inject plot points from future games when you have zero plans of continuing the series.
>>7432561231. is for a game that didn't need a remake2. makes it a lot more woke3. makes all the characters ugly as shit4. is unfaithful to the original and adds space Iron Man sections5. ruins one of the core concepts of the original by making Isaac talk
>>743256697one doth protest too much
>>743256123>so why did this remake flop exactly?It didn't, EA pulled everyone who had experience with Frostbite to work on Battlefield 6. And that included Motive, EA had put out a poll if people wanted a Dead Space 2 remake after the DS1 remake.
>>743256556there's an all gender bathroom and the double agent girl off handedly mentions a girlfriend. its massively overblown. >>743256674this is true though. the real issue is the story rewrites over-convoluting what should be a really simple plot. the captain suffers most of all, and it snowballs to a lot of the A plot. since he spends all his time babbling about Chen, double agent girl doesn't have a foil so you immediately know shes suspicious, cuz scenes that used to be them fighting are now her just kicking him while he's down mourning chen. also the dead girlfriend twist noe having to do with elizabeth cross is intersting, and fills in some plot holes in the original but taking the time to explain the logistics in the middle of the twist steals its thunder. still a very good game for the gameplay improvements alone. >>743256697>space iron man who the fuck but the most smooth brained contrarian prefers space travel in 1 to 2.
>>743256556>such as?a black guy
>>743256773You respond to literally every post about the woke shit seething. Kill yourself
>>743256918>Isaac he isn't a necromorph don't shoot hi-
>>743256367//////////////////thread
>>743256123There’s a tranny bathroom it’s literally woke
>>743256563it also sounds really really goodexcept the voice acting, I think that's the weakest part
>>743256563the original didn’t have a trans bathroom
>>743257417pretty sure it's unisex bathroom, those have been pretty common where i live in northern europe before any trannies
>>743257543youre a mental midget if that's all it takes for you to chimp out about an otherwise well made product
>>743257604The sign literally has a male, a female, and then a half and half. A unisex bathroom would just have both. A wokified destruction of a classic goes out of it's way to include trannies.
EA's antichrist expectations.
>>743257676>As long as they hide their faggotry and degeneracy well enough it's okayYou're part of the problem, kill yourself.
>>743256390>add political shitare niggers political?
>>743257676nice try deflecting from the tranny bathrooms drone just admit you have no comeback slop games for npc drones
>>743257754dunno but they sure make me want to be active in politics
>>743256390The Why-Man being a hivemind was stupid.
>>743257683a tranny bathroom is literally no different from a unisex bathroom.
>>743257683was that the bathroom that had a hanging corpse in it?curious...
>>743257417>>743257543>>743257683>>743257857lel this reminds me of people calling e33 AIslop because of a few newspapers in the starting area
>>743256390you make gay and black people political to have something to complain about
It didn't flop. It just didn't make as much money as EA would've wanted, which is why they are more or less completely out of the gaming biz and focus solely on sportsball. BioWare might be their only studio left making real games, and they are done soon, too.
>>743256390i remember when games "getting political" meant dealing with capitalism/inequality/racism/socialism/corruption/democracy/etc.but now it seems like "getting political" means having niggers/women in games.
>>743257857funny how the more you faggots excuse woke shit in games the more fucking awful games are becoming you are part of the problem kill yourself slop enabler
>>743257954AI slop? no. But definitely UE5 slop.
>>743257954Neither are necessary and both show a willingness to include bullshit that no one wants in their games.
Gotta love all the gamergate migrants from reddit desperate to turn everything into a culture war.
>>743256123Would you but it al full price (60 dollars)? That combined with the insane goals EA probably had for it made it a "flop"
Legit question should I refund my remake purchase and get the of version or are people blowing it out of proportion? Also what's up with the tranny bathroom
>>743258157The remake is just better, original runs like ass on pc and remake has more non-linear design where you can go back to previously explored areas for more stuff. But it has stuff like niggers on posters that didn't use to be there and unisex bathrooms, and I guess Isaac also talks now and Nicole is uglier(?)
>>743258157>>743258253Also zero-G gameplay is way better in the remake
>>743258157For the love of god play the remake and ignore the tards.
>>743258090gamergate was here before it ever hit rebbit newfag
>>743258102if I was a fan of the original maybe, but then again maybe notstill, the work they did is impressive on a technical level, though it sucks that the pc port doesn't run as well as it should>>743258157it's a good game, I'm OP and found out about the bathroom only because of this thread lmao
>>743258090you got a problem with /kotakuinaction/ ?
Fair enough thank you for the honest take,I'll play the remake then
>>743257683To be fair corpo culture does push this stuff now (and probably will keep doing so in the future) so even if you don't approve of it yourself you could still choose to depict corporations doing those things in media just because it seems realisticLike all the posters having smiling nogs in them, yea thats normal for corpo propaganda now
>>743258157Nah it’s a good game
>>743258373gamergate created /thedonald/ which opened the floodgates
the remake is better but it's a terrible PC port that stutters like ass even on the highest end systems ever. also a very unnecessary remake
>>74325866716gb ddr4, 5 3600, 5060ti, works on my machine
>>743256123>why did this remake flop exactly?because EA was pulling a SquareEnix and expecting 5mil copies day1 but only did 2mil in the first 6 weeks.
>>743257817No it was kino
>>743256556Shit like this.
>>743258814>nooo they made the guy black and removed her tits and implicate race mixing is the future the gameplay is SHIT nowwhy are chuds like this?
>>743258731it stutters on your PC too, you're just uncaring or don't notice it. it's an engine problem not a specs problem.
>>743256975why are there so many black zombies in RE9?
>>743256123Wasn't the only bad thing about remake the artstyle and making hammond into a BITCH
>>743258948they made the guy black and removed her tits and implicate race mixing is the future the game literally is SHIT now
>>743259036because it's set in 2026 america
>>743256773>child molesting reddit drivel
>>743259063Based. Go woke, go broke.
>>743259063Just like real corporate propaganda posters then, these days if anything such a piece of media only having whites stretches believability
>>743259109Blacks have been around 13% in america for basically forever
The remake fucks up the lighting. Yeah it adds a bunch of wokeshit and that's honestly pathetic of them, but the real sin is that they fucked up the ambiebce. Ambience is what made the first game so good. The remake is total shit.
>>743259157Doesn’t matter it wasn’t in the original.
>>743259157Remakes are not for hamfisting politically correct ideas into, and if they are it’s a shit remake like Dead Space
>>743258253>original runs like ass on pcyes, original has its problems but all of them can be fixed with mods. meanwhile with remake you get a russian stutter roulette and if you lose, there's nothing to fix it (apart from that one mod that works ONLY on hdd). if you win the roulette then sure, remake is worth playing but original is still better
>>743259031if it actually "stuttered like ass" i'd notice it, instead there are zero problems. unless it comes later in the game, i'm maybe a quarter through
>>743259270doesn’t matter it’s not the original do you not know what a remake is
I feel like remakes either need to be different enough that they may as well be new games, or made as cheaply and faithfully as possible. These middle ground remakes are the worst of all worlds, where they spend way too much money for how little the game is ultimately changed.
>>743256556troon bathrooms
>>743259491>if i pretend this problem doesn't exist it just doesn't existmeanwhile countless youtube videos documenting the issue exist and you were given a screenshot of one. why do you feel the need to defend a multi billion dollar corp that doesn't care about you? worthless faggot
>>743259497Oh PLEASE tell me what a remake is with your infinite wisdom /s
>>743259591A remake isn't the same as a remaster, if that's where you're thinking
>>743256123They literally made all the characters worse I don't mind Isaac talking but he just blathers about unimportant nonsense rather than giving us any insights into how he feels about events Nichole is now 50 years old for some reason Rather than being the stern company man Hammond is just a chill friendly dude Rather than being a ruthlessly ambitious young upstart Kendra is just a chill friendly girl
>>743259716ExactlyGiving the survival horror characters any semblance of edge would be too problematic
>>743256123you paid for tranny bathroom’s lol
>>743259909it's the future, you are lucky everyone isnt trans yet chud
>>743256123The only straight upgrade in this was the fact they turned The Slug fight from a turret section to a Zero-G section.
>>743260663gameplay, combat, graphics, and interconnected ship are all straight upgrades
>>743261298What are the combat changes besides zero-G
>>743261546weapons have been rebalanced so they're not the jank of the original, movement is smoother like 2's, impalement was added to the game (yes, that was added in 2), etc
>>743259716Isaac being able to suggest the tech-related solutions is a good thing, but it also took away a lot of what Hammond did in his stern "leader" role. The marker schizo stuff they added with him didn't really land for me.
What is it about modern Frostbite that makes it stutter like it does it the remake? 2042 also ran like shit on my Ryzen 5600+3080 despite looking worse than BF1.
>>743256123>I bought it for $5.And I imagine that’s the problem.I also really liked it, and was a big dead space fan. Yet I got my copy from Humble Choice.AAA needs to realize very few people are willing to buy full price games anymore. There’s so much choice in the market now that even if a game I think I might like comes out, there is no incentive to play it right now compared to just waiting a few years and getting it for half the price. They also need to chill the fuck out on the system requirements; High requirements just lock out more and more of the potential consumer base.
>>743256123It’s just a downgrade from the original in every way + creepy tranny bathroom shit and all white men replaced on all posters and shit. Weird stuff. The original is $7 on sale, should have just gotten that.
>>743256123>make Nicole old instead of young and hot>implying that in an advanced future where it's commonplace to fly a hundred light years out and mine a planet for resources, that women will still agelmao
>>743256123and im non-buynary
>>743258157Well you can either listen to EA shills or you can play the good version, it's up to you.
>>743258405I'm guessing you also didn't know Isaac doesn't talk in the original version.
>>743264095To be fair, they made Isaac old as well. Plus they’re both in senior job roles for relatively complicated jobs, which takes a number of years in university, training and ladder climbing to achieve.Just saying, it makes more sense that both characters would be like mid-30’s at the earliest, and mid-40’s realistically.
It had the EA brand on it so I didn't get itReplacing the original actors, making Isaac not shut the fuck up, making the main villain a lesbian, replacing Ghana GOD with an monkey looking Amerinigger and having niggers replacing every white and asian in the posters and gender neutral bathrooms was just the shit cherry on top.
>>743264571Oh yeah, they turned Nicole into a granny because DEI
>>743264309Both version are from EA you retard lmao
>>743264683And?
Stuttering, it's unplayable. Maybe modern drivers can smooth it over with fake frames but it was so bad back then
>>743256123Nothing. It was fine. As far as I know it didn't even flop, just didn't sell a bajillion copies.It just wasn't really necessary. Dead Space already plays basically fine. Dead Space 2 is the one that needs the rework because the PC version is eternally fucked./v/ had a melty over old Nicole but that was the only controversy I can remember about it.
>>743258157The remake is better. The complaints are generally surface level politic stuff (that you won’t even notice) and slight changes to the story that help DS1 mesh consistently with the wider lore they established through the later games and comics/anime.Not to imply OG DS1 was bad, mind you, but the remake is just a straight upgrade across the board.
>>743264683Who said they weren't, retard?
>>743264887>PC version is eternally fucked.Plays perfectly fine, the only issue on PC is the DLC cancer but you can just opt out of not using it.If anything the original Dead Space is fucked on PC due to stuttering and mpuse acceleration.
>>743264930>The complaints are generally surface level politic stuff (that you won’t even notice) and slight changes to the story that help DS1 mesh consistently with the wider lore they established through the later games and comics/anime.Wonder why it flopped...
>>743264683Whw would EA shill the old version?
>>743258157There's a reason it flopped, anon.
>>743258157The original, the Remake is generic as all hell made by a completely different team. Plus political shit on top
>>743264930>Nicole is now a therapist who specializes in people trying to leave the church of unitologyStupid, way too narrow of a field for anyone to make a living off of, makes the universe of the story feel smaller because now everything has to tie in with this one cult for some reason>is counselling Isaac's motherretarded, you cannot act as a professional therapist to the family of someone you're engaged to be married to, goes against every moral code in the profession>hears that Isaac's mom chimped out and killed herself and his dad, when Isaac gets the least bit upset about this she tells him to "go to hell", this is now where there relationship is at when we start the story, somehow Isaac is expected to feel guilty??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>743256123I saw what they did to it and promptly put it out of my mind. The remake doesn't exist. And now I will hide your thread.
>>743256563You don’t need to keep lying. You’re not getting a sequel.
>>743256123i didnt boughted it because of the woke shit
>>743264930cope
>>743264571Kendra isn't a lesbian, but I'll never understand why they made Nicole look like that. I don't like the change to Isaac either but you don't see his face much in the first game.
