Thanks to a literal act of god, we are once again down to 3 people this week but the release of the Dead Space remake ensured that there is plenty to dissect. We dive deep into this remake and try our best to figure out it’s legacy in comparison to other high-profile remakes. We also discuss the future of Dead Space under the EA Motive banner if this proves to be a success. Brad delivers a hefty Fire Emblem Engage update and Chris emphasizes how good Hi-Fi Rush is following it’s surprise release last week. In the second segment, we discuss the recent culling of GAAS (Games as a Service) games and some major industry shakeups at 343 Industries which calls the future of Halo into question.

Great video been waiting for a while
Brad has a solid point about a lot of what works in this game isn’t purely original ideas, but even with that said, I think they deserve credit for nailing HOW good/faithful it was. They didn’t just copy the ideas, they literally recreated it down to a science in a completely new engine, AND made improvements + new but faithful additions that fit right in like it always belonged, that takes talent. Gives me faith they really could do an all original title.
