Dead Space Remake innehåller ett "nytt lager" med sidouppdrag

Dead Space Remake kommer inte bara att vara en total restaurering av originalspelet med helt ny grafik. Det kommer även erbjuda mer spelmässigt innehåll, inklusive ett nytt lager med sidoinnehåll.

I ett långt blogginlägg berättar utvecklaren Motive om vad de planerar att göra, och det förklaras att det kommer finnas sidoinnehåll som fokuserar mer på andra karaktärer, inklusive Nicole:

"Right, we wanted to make it fit better in the overall story and lore of the Dead Space universe that evolved after the first one. As an example, Isaac has a voice here, just like in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3. And some characters who were a bit more secondary, who only appeared in audio logs, like Dr. Cross—we gave them some actual screen time. And we wanted to give a bit more background and agency to some of the characters from the cast, like Nicole. So we're creating a whole layer of narrative side-quests that will allow you to see, for example, what happened to Nicole during the outbreak."

Utvecklarna har även lagt in så kallad lore från Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3 och de omgivande serietidningarna, så detta är en mer definitiv och omfattande berättelse:

"The story, for example, hits all the main beats and main events of the original, but we looked at the lore of the whole franchise, which is a lot wider than the original game. There was Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3, the comic books—these all added additional lore that we re-injected into the game."
