We are experiencing one of the most interesting moments in recent years with the return of a franchise that captivated millions of players around the world just over a decade ago. Dead Space has a remake on the way that will be released on January 27th and, if you want to warm up your engines, nothing like returning to space and the life of Isaac Clarke, its protagonist, in its sequel from 2011.
Get free Dead Space 2
It is normal for developers to want to encourage us when buying certain games by giving away old glories that have been fully amortized and that Electronic Arts is not going to let go. So taking advantage of the fact that Dead Space (the remake) is in the works and about to go on sale, what better promotion than giving us the second part that came out at the time for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3?
So said and done. If you intend to play with this new and revamped Dead Space on PC, specifically on Steam, you have the opportunity to pocket the old Dead Space 2 by the face , without dropping a euro, simply by reserving it in the Valve store. Obviously this promotion has an expiration date and it will be the specific moment in which the remake is officially launched, starting on January 28, when we will no longer be able to get hold of one of the many hits from Visceral Games.
In this way, you will be able to discover what happens to the protagonist in the events after the first Dead Space when we finish infiltrating the ISG Ishimura mining station, where a real hell of monsters, entrails and blood broke out.
The remake that doesn’t change history
If you get this Dead Space 2 , we recommend leaving it fallow until you finish the first one, since their stories are connected through the events of the first title. What’s more, Isaac Clarke himself remains in the story as a determining element and we will know what happens to him after the end of the original game. An epic that reached three installments and that if the remake is successful, do not rule out that this practice extends to its other two titles.
Be that as it may, between the arrival of the Dead Space remake and the December release of The Callisto Protocol (developed by some of the members of the original Visceral Games team) we are experiencing a revival of a space horror genre that we had almost forgotten and that he was lame of references. A type of game that has always been very grateful and that could continue in the near future both with new franchises and with the return of old ones thanks to remakes and remastering.
And a good example are these Dead Space that, despite the years that have elapsed since the launch of the original title (2008), remain intact and with their mechanics so current that they will not need to be changed much. Something that, in itself, is already a huge merit that we have to point out as a must for Visceral Games.
