Dead Space Original vs Remake - Scary Ending Comparison

I played through dead space (2008) recently and when i got on the ship i thought it was smooth sailing and turned my volume all the way up 😢

While the remake did well leading up to Nicole's "return," I still argue that the original wins out. The remake would work if Dead Space had just been a zombie game, but it just feels lacking. The original, Nicole was almost waiting for Isaac to notice her, before she pounced, that and how the screen gets filled with those marker symbols and how her scream sounds so twisted, just adds to the "Oh shit! It's not over!" factor.

Didn't need a jump scare, Aunty Nicole creeped me out since the reveal! She looks horrible in the remake, not someone I would die for. 😅

This is the Greatest remake of all time. 10/10

Going with motion capture for a jumpscare is a mistake; too slow, plus the less natural it looks the more effect the scare has. Also lighting in remake "jumpscare" is too bright.

I like how the remake made Nicole someone else who was as heavily influenced as Isaac instead of just a hallucination. I feel like the plot and dialogue of the remake is just better than the old games and does way more to explain the general story of dead space, even though 2 and 3’s story points were huge in their own right

I think the remake is better imo

Man has the power to yell at a door to unlock it

Original was way better with how Nicole was creepily lurking behind the chair, not sitting on it.

Remake did it better idk what these comments are on about

Откуда она взялась?

Soooo all those monsters and all the insanity he had to go through couldnt get him. But his ex got him in the end. Funny 🤣🤣

man i don’t like the remakes face

I will say that what I liked about the remake was when the giant chunk of aegis 7 was coming back down to the planet, how when taking off you literally get a cooler shot of it slamming into the planet unlike the original, but I wished they did better in the actual impact itself cause it felt kinda dull, like they plastered some explosion over the impact sight and the screen just fades to white, unlike the original, when the impact scene is witnessed, you can feel the impact as well as Isaac as the rumble echos, the whole impact from the epicenter literally lights up shooting debris everywhere and just feels and sounds more powerful and devastating when it crashes

Sorry but the original is true scared


But the remake they make really impressive realistic design

As much as I love the remake, the original version of this scene was WAY better.

Nostalgia is killing you guys

I enjoyed the remake thoroughly, ive played the original game many times since release but the final seconds of the cutscene was anticlimactic, rest of the remake is great though!

Dead space remake is good but original one mops the floor with it in terms of horror scarines and not going a bit woke and changing genders in the remake. I'll never understand why this ideology is a priority now in most games instead of a good immersive story well written likeable characters and gameplay. These aspects just make it Les of a game and it can't live up to expectations. Alsso making the wemen in this game ugly and old like Isacs girlfriend was a real beauty to behold. In this one its grandma looking scarier than the necromorphs in the game 😂

What an awful ending. I've never played Dead Space before aside from the remake and this end felt really cheap. Maybe it's foreshadowing something, but i was just disappointed.

Thanks for the spoiler Thumbnail ......

Remake is way better except for the ending

I had fun but the original is better for a final scare.

remake was a better game but yeah the ending is just so much better in the original

ngl the original one was way better but i love it so much that isaac has more emotion and lines in the remake

Too you fanboys im sorry but the 2008 version is still a better play besides the vsync issues just feels more real in a way ig

The original is a lot more unnerving because Nicole is creeping behind the chair staring at Isaac with a weirdly shaped face coverd in shadows and she jumps at him unnaturally fast. Good, faithful remake though otherwise.

Man, we need a Dead Space 2 Remake

Dead Space Remake is overall GREAT but the Ending is much better/scarier in the OG Dead Space

EA really said lets remake this game and make less scary lmao

Seriously... i have not played this game and the original just makes my shit my pants. Like everytime that happens i wanna show new players this game and scream along just to scare the absolute shit out of them 😂😅

The original is just so much better as a game overall

Original ending was scarier , the new one was lacking

Nah mate, original Isaac face is much better. I hate the new one.

Why did they make Isaac look like Mark Zuckerberg in the remake tho?

Everyone is talking about the jumpscare comparison and how the original one is better, which I do believe the original is scarier in terms of actually scaring the player. People are saying the new one is bad but hear me out:
Think about it in Issac's perspective, he's just been through an entire ship load of twisted deformed shells of the people within the Ishimura, after been through hell and finally making it through alive after killing a creature he never thought would be possible let alone exist, and by a narrow chance he made it out alive and okay. After taking a moment to finally sit down and breathe and take his helmet off, he sees his girlfriend's body sitting right next to him.
Imagine sitting in Issac's seat and you turn your head and see the body of someone you know can't be there. Even if you knew it wasn't real, seeing it suddenly turn and reach out for you while screaming would scare the living hell out of you. I do believe the original is more scary and unnatural with how fast and loud it is, but at a realistic perspective this is still scary.
Before anyone jumps at me being a hater or mad, I'm not, I like both versions. I'm just trying to break the new one down in Issac's perspective.

Original is better, hands down.

I liked both. I do agree though, the original is better. At least the ramake tried because, we already knew what was coming. Which is still an improvement. However, for the alternative ending. That's a completely different story, it's actually creepy enough to have that spine chilling moment knowing that the marker actually got Isaac, and he's literally going insane. It was even mentioned after the events of DS1 when Earth gov found Isaac floating in the middle of nowhere in space, he was insane.

The original one is better it freak me out when I beat the game

How come like all of the original ending videos have like graphical issues whether that be the timing here the animation cutting out in the middle of the scare or even just like it being abrupt and stuff all of them seem to be using the PC version when my Xbox 360 shows how it was intended to look

Isaac literally looks like a diffrent person it's so weird lol 🤣🤣🤣

Out of all the things of OG dead space nicoles jumpscare was the only thing that scared me it was so fast and out of nowhere and the Kim’s are noise but the remake it felt like the catalisto protocol ending

In remake you have prep time for the jumpscare, while in the original game you have just 0.1 sec to realise something. That's why original Dead Space ending is so fucking scary.

Issac original face looks better than the remake one.

I get that they were probably trying to make a different scene in the remake but at this point they should've stayed with the OG scene. The OG Nicole jumpscare was actually terrifying in the remake it's more like a Meh it's scaaary.

The remake was very well done, of course some parts of the original are going to be better. Yes Isaac looks more exhausted in the original but in the remake he seems more coming down from an adrenaline rush. I think the final scare is okay in the remake, I feel like seeing her crouched by the chair is more scary and the voice line they gave her kind of gave away what was going to happen but still it’s beautifully done game and I hope this revives the franchise because dead space has always been wonderfully crafted games that should be talked about and played more

I get the hate with silent hill 2 and re 4 2005 game mechanics but even so the latter really didn’t need a remake because its not broken to a point that it’s unplayable and the graphics is not the worst in fact its one the best looking 2005 game out there. The 90s re 1, 2, and 3 remakes makes a whole lot of sense but dead space ps3…now that’s inexcusable. But I’m not gonna lie silent hill 2 remake sounds exciting.

Why the potato face in Issac? Why they dont conserve the real face?

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed the original’s as opposed to remake. Something about the original’s ending has more depth and felt more organic with the hallucination segment of Nicole mortally haunting you after the madness.

They should’ve just made a dead space 4
