‘Dead Space’ Gets a Fan-Made PS1-Styled Demake [Video]
It’ll still be some time before we get a good look at Electronic Arts’ upcoming remake of Dead Space, but as always, leave it to the fans to provide something to tide you over. In this case, YouTuber Rustic Games BR has created a “demake” of Dead Space, showcasing it as a 32-bit PlayStation title in Unity.
Immediately, you’ll be conjuring up thoughts of Dino Crisis or Resident Evil, since the demake uses fixed camera angles and tank controls. Unfortunately, much like their other demakes of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4, this appears to just be a fun idea, and not intended for an actual release.
On the other hand, you have demakes of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4, so what’s not to love? Rustic Games BR has also done other cool demakes, such as Resident Evil Village done in the style of Resident Evil Survivor, as well as a demake of The Last of Us!
And, if you’re keen on demakes that you can play, check out the recently-released Bloodborne PSX, which Aaron says “hold[s] onto the core of what made Bloodborne great”.
Dead Space is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Thanks to DSOGaming for the heads up.
Released way back in 2021 onto Steam, Milkbar Lads’ gory, fast-paced, roguelike shooter Dead Estate has finally arrived on the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch, with Switch 2 compatibility. The console releases contain all of the previously-released expansions, including the entirely separate campaign inspired by classic survival horror games, “Assignment Anya”.
There isn’t much to the story of Dead Estate, which is probably for the best. All you need to know is that you’re stuck in a monster-filled mansion, from which you’ve obviously got to escape. Your only way out is to ascend the floors of the mansion with one of 10 unique characters, collect loads of items and weapons, and tackle the grueling challenges within. Along the way, you will discover secrets and the many unlockables.
And yes, there are loads of weapons and items for the game’s close-quarters combat. 150 weapons and 300 items, to be exact, making each run unique. Adding to that uniqueness are the many alternate floors and floor variants of the mansion. There are also modifiers and difficulty levels available to further maximize replayability.
And as mentioned, Dead Estate also includes a nod to Resident Evil 4 with Assignment Anya, an obvious play on Assignment: Ada. With this expansion, which is set prior to the events of the main game, you play as Anya, a fledgling actress who finds herself helplessly lost in the mansion after her film crew is attacked by the undead. Abandoned by her leading man and left alone with nothing but a mask with which to disguise herself, Anya must escape the increasingly warped and deadly estate all on her own.
