Originality is not Dead Space’s strong point, but atmosphere and tension are. Whether Dead Space counts as a genuine classic has always been a matter of debate amongst horror fans, and its debts to not just Resident Evil but movies like Alien, Event Horizon, and The Thing are both obvious and numerous. The plot involves the crew of a deep space mining ship being transformed into monsters named necromorphs, which are very hard to kill unless you cut off their limbs first. The idea of doing a remake was no doubt inspired by the success of Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 and 3 but rather than having to reinterpret the originals with modern technology the basic design of Dead Space is still viable. The task of remaking Dead Space has been given to EA’s Motive Studio, who were behind the excellent Star Wars: Squadrons and the story campaign of Battlefront 2.
