It may not have a release window yet, but EA has released an exclusive first look at the Dead Space remake. While it's not exactly a full gameplay reveal, it is an indication of what players can expect.
Running in the Frostbite engine, a few glimpses of the game can be seen during the developer live stream. However, the team was careful to reiterate this is not a finished product, but instead a very, very early look at development.

The aim of the remake is to enrich the original experience, while also making it relevant to today's standards. Players can expect to see the story fans have come to love expanded in whole new ways, as it works to tie in the sequels and other elements of the lore.
You can see the protagonist Issac stroll through the environment in a few instances, showcasing the new lighting, fog and shadow effects. A comparison image really showcases just how improved the remake is through its visuals:


Of course, what would Dead Space be without some dismemberment? The team at EA Motive were also happy to show some of the effects and feedback players will receive when blasting away Necromorphs. It all seems very satisfying.

Another notable focus of the stream was the emphasis on zero gravity moments. As players are able to explore fully 360-degree environments, the team at EA Motive has gone back to the original build to expand on the ways players can do just that. You'll find new pathways and locations previously not seen in the first game.

Everything about the Dead Space remake seems to be coming along nicely. While it's too early to have a definitive idea of what the final release will be like, it's been great to have an insight into the game's development. The team seems to be truly embracing what fans love about the series, building upon everything it can.
We can't wait!

It was pretty interesting too!
And I loved the 'peeling' (flaying of the skin and outer layers) system that has been introduced. It looks like something I'd enjoy mucking about with...
Really cannot wait for this game...
This looks very promising! I just hope they don't pull a Halo CE Anniversary where there's added light sources every few feet.
Looks really good, can't wait to play this, can't believe EA have left this franchise untouched for so long
EA better not get up to their old tricks and fill it up with MicroTransactions.
LMAO, nice first impression of the gameplay. They couldn't even bother to use an actual level from the game. I think they peeled back the curtain a little bit too much on this one.
I was sceptical at first but this did a lot to assuage my concerns. The leadership team here are clearly fans of the series and have some good ideas. I hope it all comes together.
@ymo1965 The Developers said very, very, clearly, that there will not be any microtransactions in the game. It's the second time that I have seen them say it, but they were absolutely emphatic; there will be no microtransactions.
My biggest concern would be that they will re-introduce co-op into the game. Not in the first one, but maybe their second. For me, it absolutely killed the atmosphere. Obviously, they may not remake the second game at all, they may not make a second one, or they may make their own sequel. I just don't want to see them go down the co-op route at any point...
@Fiendish-Beaver Not the first time EA has ruined a perfectly good franchise. The first and second game very very good, but I really didn't like the direction they went with the third. I really hope this remake is a good one. I'm sure they will slip up here and there with it. People find fault with everything. Especially when it's something that they're fond of. Not holding my breath.
