EA Motive has released a brand new update for Dead Space Remake. This Update packs a number of Steam Deck improvements, and fixes some bugs that plagued the game. However, it does not bring any performance optimizations.
According to its release notes, the February 18th Update allows you now to equip previous suit visuals. It also resolves a bug that could occur with the door to the security station during the “Locate the source of the broadcast” objective.
As always, Steam and Origin will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
Dead Space Remake January 18th Update Release Notes
- Steam Deck Improvements
- The game will now recognise if the player has collected the Crew Quarters key card before reaching Chapter 10 and getting the objective ‘Find the Crew Deck key’. —-> If you’re loading a save where you were already in this state and the game doesn’t update, travel away from the area (60 seconds approx.) and return, the game should then update.
- The door to the security station will properly unlock after the call from Daniels ends during the objective ‘Locate the source of the broadcast. —-> If upon loading a save the door is still in standby, ride the tram to another station and back, wait 30 seconds and the door will unlock.
- You will no longer be able to launch the asteroid without first destroying the gravity tethers, preventing them from getting stuck. —-> If upon loading a game where you are already stuck, the game will update if the player has destroyed the mining tethers. If you have not destroyed the mining tethers, you should do this, then the game will update.
- Fixed Dr. Kyne not spawning inside Chief Steward’s office. —-> Will be fixed if the current objective is scrambled with unitologist symbols. Go back to the Cantina, then come back to Hunter fight room. This should trigger the proper quest flow. Then follow the quest markers until you reach Kyne’s sequence.
- We now allow for the previous suit visual to be equipped —-> Previously acquired suit visuals are available in Storage and can be equipped by selecting them and choosing the “Equip” action. To remove a cosmetic, choose the currently equipped cosmetic suit, from the Storage, and select the “Unequip” option. Changing the cosmetic aspect of a suit does not impact the upgrades you have acquired. Suits are granted as such: Purchase level 2 -> Acquire level 1 cosmetic, Purchase level 3 -> Acquire level 2 cosmetic, etc… For saves where you’ve already acquired specific suit upgrades, the player will be automatically awarded the cosmetics in his Storage.
- A few other fixes that may help overall, keep us posted here once you’ve updated your game and spent some time with it.

Still doesnt fix the stuttering. Really want to continue playing this but its a paperweight till they fix these traversal stutters.
The traversal stutters were a minor annoyance, but did not ruin the game nor its enjoyment. There are many games with unfixed shader stutter and whatever else that are way worse.
It’s not in any gamer’s best interest to make excuses for the laziness and incompetence of a Developer. It’s gotten pretty bad with the Developers. Also, just because there are worse game releases doesn’t excuse this game release.
I didn’t excuse anything.
Also words are entirely empty, the games sell millions as long as they aren’t unplayable.
It’s the same perpetual debate, and it will never go anywhere, because all that matters is sales.
thats denuvo mate.
Traversal stutter is unfixable in UE games.
Dead Space is using totally different (frostbite) engine.
This game doesn’t even use UE. It’s also not unfixable as there are UE games without traversal stutter. It’s probably hard but not impossible.
What a joke lol. What sucker do you have to be buy games at launch at this point in time and then wait for 6 months to get a normal version. Gorham Knights fixed performance almost entirely in the last patch which is a pleasant surprise to be sure, but it took them 4 months to do that and most games never get fixed in the first place.
Yeah, and at that point a far better game for less money. Only the peeps with the patience/intellectual capacity of a toddler get fooled more than once.
who cares, gotham knights is the worst pile of trash I’ve ever played that’s pretending to be a AAA game
* Pride flags have been added in the ishimura
* Bathrooms now have disabled stalls and dilation chambers
* Removed the ability to name your profile the Nword or any other offence terms
* Changed issac’s dialogues in a sidemission so he doesnt sound that ableist.
* Issac now identifies as non binary
* The black female marine that dies and you see the floating corpse if you return to the area has been removed this was a bug, she was suppose to survive like the woman who died in the hydroponics in the first game but now survives.
“black woman survives”
Reeeeeeeeeeee
i was playing control and guess what the most tougher most bada$$ character is a black woman…just like that jedi star wars game that came out a few years back. Hmm…almost like its a trope or something?
They don’t realize this makes us hate them more. And I’m a “minority”.
I’m just curious how your life looks like when a fictional character in a video game is that important to you.
You spent 20-30 years of your gaming life playing as white dudes and fighting white dudes. As hard as it might be to believe, a couple of black characters in a video game aren’t going to end your world.
I see dagoat chatbot activated his concern trolling script to counter factual information about media tropes.
Lol, national geographic, but for internet trolls.
I’m just curious how your life looks like when a internet user comment about a game is that important to you.
You spent years of your gaming life concerned about the opinion of others, it’s not the end of the world…
It’s funny how durka politely replies to a insult, and then dagoat insult him some more in the replies. And when i tell him to stop being so weak, he blocks me. Watching too much conservative media turns people weak.
dagoat changed his script to “anti-racist” again. Please wait while i tweak the bot to tell insults about inbred semites and talk about white superiority again.
Here comes the black women simp brigade… Is this what european men are into or just “european men”?
Dead Space rEmAkE…the Trans/Race/Minority Edition
I feel so sorry for these devs that push the envelope for that minority vote. Pathetic
The guy above blocked me because i called him out on his consoming habits.
And he blocked me because I tried to clarify his mix-up of RT and RTX and he went completely unhinged. He thought I was gaslighting him and thought I was just another troll. Some people are just flat out neurotic lol
Yeah he tries to play the “i don’t like woke crap” but his fav games are The Last of US and Days Gone.
Interesting. Both those games were initially ps exclusives and they’re got “progressive” content in there. Sounds to me like he’s more of a centrist in disguise.
Or worse,since you can see him making excuses for the “poor devs” even now.
There is no such thing as a minority vote. If you’re a minority your vote don’t count. It’s the EGS thing they are going after. They don’t give a damn about minorities.
well i was sarcastic, nobody feels sorry for them lol

woke remake, avoid the game
They literally hold 2022 graphics hostage in a pile of sh@t
You’re gonna have a hard time with games then. Because I don’t know none that ain’t woke.
Dead Space always got a mercenary identity, what with retconning the silent protagonist in the sequel and adding multiplayer, and also a in game store in the 3rd game, the latest installment continues the tradition of crapping on past installments, and what better crap if not to tarnish the very first game with butchering the silent protagonist, the art and aesthetics and making the Ishimura crew gay and immigrant so that today’s average neurotic doesn’t feel out of place?

Amazing game. The atmosphere of horror has been taken to a whole new level in the remake, thanks to the new visuals (this game looks like a movie, graphics fidelity is just insane). Also the game is a lot darker now, and on top of that necromporphs can jump at you anytime (thanks to the “intensity director”), which makes the atmosphere more tense. Dynamic fog looks spectacular in this game and it’s also a contributor to the horror atmosphere, because sometimes you can barely see what’s in front of you. This makes fighting the necromorphs much more terrifying. IMO people who are playing this game for the first time will be in need of a good dose of tranquillisers, and I’m not joking. Compared to the remake, the original game was like a walk in the park. Game was a lot easier because there was an abundance of ammo and health packs everywhere, and not to mention necromorphs were easy to kill. That’s not the case in the remake now, so fights with necromorphs are definitely more engaging.
Is there hope for a modding scene in this game to bring back the art design, make Clark Silent again and remove the gayness? i could pirate it in the future if this can happen.

By making Isaac look younger and his girlfriend older, it was a form of emasculating him.
The likenesses of Isaac and Nicole in the remake are scans of the actors who play them. You’re reading too much into things.
They are scans, but the point stands, they made the Isaac scan younger and Nicole older.
Unless i’m mistaking you for another user, didn’t we argue some months back about Capcom going woke with their female design? And now you are making excuses for Nicole – granny edition? Lmao.
These are not the types worth having a debate with friend~ no logic will help that level of confirmation bias.
I prefer the new art design. The remake is extremely dark compared to the original, but it creates awesome atmosphere. In SDR I even thought the game is too dark (black crush was pretty much everywhere) but fortunately in HDR you can still see everything clearly even without a flashlight. The shadow depth in this game looks extremely realistic in HDR, I thought like walking in some dark room for real.
Isaac is no longer silent, but he only speaks when spoken to. IMO that’s a plus, because he doesn’t feel disconnected from the story any more. They even added a beating heart sound (it’s simple detail, BUT it elevates the atmosphere everytime). Isaac character face is now based on real actor Gunner Wright who was portraying Isaac character in dead space 2 / 3. IDK why you think he looks like a gay.

watch this video and tell me what you think about it. Also, i’m not talking about how the environment is dark or the use of HDR, i hope the video makes this clear.
You are talking about the new world order propaganda (LGBT, the destruction of the traditional values etc.). Yes, this game has it unfortunately, but it doesn’t affect the gameplay, so it didn’t really bother me.
Being openly insulting doesn’t bother you? I dunno, that’s pretty much part of the “gameplay” for me, so i’ll wait until i can insult then back or not bother at all. Don’t you feel bad for financing new world order propaganda?
Paying for a good game and having a good time doesn’t make me feel bad. I also dont feel triggered / insulted by something so simple like a LGBT toilet sign, or seeing black character instead of a white man. If such simple things bothers you than dont play the game and stop whining.
You flip flop between saying the game is infested with “new world order” propaganda then saying “it’s just a LGBT toilet”, you are not being trusthworthy here. And yes, i don’t plan on playing this game, much less buying, not sure why you say i’m whining when we where just having a conversation, maybe you got insulted when i insulted your game?
Yes, this game has some LGBT propaganda in it, but I’m not going to hate the game simply because it made me looked at some funny LGBT toiled sign for around 3 seconds during my 40 hours gameplay. Such small details did not make the combat any less fun, and overall the remake is much better game than the already dated original.
You have already wrote that you would like to play this remake once modders will patch LGBT propaganda, so do not pretend that you are not interested in this game. I’m sure if this remake was pirated, you’d already be playing it, but since the game i using denuvo you can only pretend that you dont want to play it.
You already told me you are willing to tolerate LGBT propaganda and Denuvo DRM, no need to tell me twice. I’m curious in how this game took you 40 hours to beat, did they expand the game beyond the number of genders? The original takes 10 hours at worst.
“You have already wrote that you would like to play this remake once modders will patch LGBT propaganda, so do not pretend that you are not interested in this game.”
I’m not pretending anything, that’s a big “IF”. in fact, two “ifs”: If someone mod the game to remove their ideology update, and if they crack or remove the DRM, then i will consider pirating it. I can’t predict the future, so as it stands, i’m just not interested.
It took me around 33 hours to beat the game, but I started my 2’nd playthrough now. According to steam overview I have already spend 40 hours playing this game.
The original dead space was very linear and a lot easier. The necromorphs were fairly easy to kill, so you could just run in a straightforward way for entire game and never worry about supplies. In the remake necromorphs are a lot faster and stronger, so ammo and health supplies can quickly run out. On top of that you need to look for the upgrades now (it’s impossible to fully upgrade your favorite weapon without finding the parts first), so it’s very difficult to play this game in the same straightforward way like it was in the original.
When your security pass gets upgraded you want to backtrack, because you can always find something useful. Backtracking in the remake is time consuming, but it’s still fun and interesting because the intensity director technology will always surprise you with something even if you have already visited that particular location.
Playing the remake felt like a fresh experience, even though I have completed the original game many times. I think some dead space fans may dislike the remake bacause of these changes, but personally I liked it, and not even LGBT propaganda has ruined the experience for me.
I don’t doubt that the game is good, hell i would say even the latest Sony slop have plenty of things i find appealing, like great graphics, animations, atmosphere, cutting edge technology, etc.
But i see those features as bait, while you see those features as an excuse to endure whatever form of humiliation those companies think you are ready for. DRM’s, gay lectures, White erasure, you name it. The frame sets the tone.
I do envy SJW zeal: They go scorched earth on games catered to them, like the new Harry Potter game, while right wing cucks can’t do nothing but support a game that is catered to SJW’s in the first place. This is why you end up with all sort of weak willed individuals like the one you where arguing with, who can’t even skip on buying a game, no matter the humiliation imposed on them: DRM’s, antiwhite ideology, lootboxes and all sort of scam. Imagine if our side could be less tolerant and JUST SAY NO. Too bad…
-Nicole looking older is fine, it fits her years of experience, her months and potentially a year or more on the ishimura itself, and her level of education to warrant being the chief medical officer of THE most important planet cracker of its time.
-I kinda’ disagree on kendra, myself. I think she’s still attractive, you don’t need to have a huge gargantuan a*s and mellon tata’s to be that.
-He’s wrong about isaac’s looks as well. Its not as easily seen because they don’t have as good models as some other games for skin detail, but you can still make out wrinkles. I think they actually DID make nicole look a little younger than her actress as well, honestly.
-Obvious slant on the conversation between kendra and isaac. Disagree with them.
-They lose me when they start complaining that there’s hints of people being gay (or bi, an actual possibility too and not the same thing 🙂 ) as if that is supposed to be a bad thing INHERENTLY (though clearly, as i’m not christian, i’m not the target for this commentary.)
-Special note for the chief engineer. One use of they, in itself, is not an indicator of ANYTHING. I do this a lot, honestly, where when I know i’m referring to a very specific person and am not making generalizations, I just tend to use ‘they’ because thats how it connects in my head. I don’t need to be autistic about specifying someone as their genders.
-Making a deal out of the representation stuff feels kinda weak as well. I just… I don’t care. I could be conversative and not care. Why should I be invested in race politics to get angry if someone is included, and someone is… slightly less represented? Getting mad at the hairstyle is also kinda cringe too. I just dont care.
-I just… he read SO hard into the unitology stuff. Sure, some of these other religions can inspire the whole thing-but so can a lot of things. Like The Thing, or HP Lovecraft?
-His final point about ds2 is probably just wrong. At best, more of the same proportions. But they’re clearly not interested in changing the main characters to be drastically different from how they originally were, all that good stuff. Motive Studio, the team responsible for this, also made Squadrons-A pretty good game by most estimations for its inspirations from star wars *X-WING* and *TIE FIGHTER* of all things, the OLD games.
-There were two pretty strong hints about Bill as well. It’s not really a surprise to say that he was gay, nor would it matter. I didn’t like 3 as much as most people either, though, because it changed how Bill was supposed to be the representation of Joel’s current (at the time) path-that is to say, if you cut yourself off from the world, and from loving others, you become a shell of a man who’s only concerned with surviving, not being happy.
-Consider that TLOU part 2 came out not too long ago, and is arguably more of a woke title than the remake for dead space is, also. Half of the people that played it, hated it. Dead space is CLEARLY enjoyed, by comparison, on ALL platforms having an incredibly small difference in aggregate score between the critics and the consumers, as opposed to the scores held by the last of us.
To comment on unique things you have said- Isaac being a silent protagonist was ultimately a net bad. It’s not really a great method of giving a character agency if the only things you know about their thought process is in the quest logs. Dead Space 2 otherwise improved on everything about dead space one-and the multiplayer, when it had a playerbase, was even solid-and had NO impact on the campaign (not really something to complain about imo, even if it was bad, as it wasn’t the primary draw).
DS3 was bad, bad, bad though. I’m not sure where the faults lay though, since we have Callisto Protocol now-a disappointment, frankly.
Also… the art design of dead space is still RIGHT there. It’s just not as brightly lit at times, which is fine.
I could honestly go way harder on this, but eh…. I’ll just hope you see that with how much I’ve said, that I approached in good faith at least.
If you feel openly insulted by the game… I mean, idk what to tell you. You can disagree on the politics and then try to understand your bias’s so you can attack it on its merits? Same thing i’d say to the people attacking Hogwarts Legacy.
“-Making a deal out of the representation stuff feels kinda weak as well. I just… I don’t care. I could be conversative and not care. Why should I be invested in race politics to get angry if someone is included, and someone is… slightly less represented? Getting mad at the hairstyle is also kinda cringe too. I just dont care.”
Your wall of text response tells me otherwise. And sure you mean “conservative” and not “conversative”, right?
“-Nicole looking older is fine, it fits her years of experience, her months and potentially a year or more on the ishimura itself, and her level of education to warrant being the chief medical officer of THE most important planet cracker of its time.”
You are thinking too much into this, she was supposed to be an attractive damsel in distress, not your granny.
“-I kinda’ disagree on kendra, myself. I think she’s still attractive, you don’t need to have a huge gargantuan a*s and mellon tata’s to be that.”
She was good looking in the first and no exagerate proportions, and bland in the remake, and also lesbian.
“-His final point about ds2 is probably just wrong.”
It’s a prediction, and i think his prediction is better than yours, if a remake of DS2 ever happens.
“Dead space is CLEARLY enjoyed, by comparison, on ALL platforms having an incredibly small difference in aggregate score between the critics and the consumers, as opposed to the scores held by the last of us.”
Dead space is more subtle, but just barely. Sure, you don’t have big trailer reveal with interracial lesbian kiss, but they made sure to check those woke check lists. I don’t think the public at large even cared that much over lesbianism, transgender stuff, etc, just the fact they killed the first game protagonist.
“If you feel openly insulted by the game… I mean, idk what to tell you.”
No need to tell anything. I’ll find the game insulting, but not gonna make a big deal out of it, just not buying this game, maybe i’ll pirate it in the future for this series nostalgia, provided modders fixes some of this stuff.
Alright, I guess. Push the agenda you want to push. I doubt I can make you shift your axioms on the matter, and I said my piece.
Also, as I told another guy: I don’t care, as in the actual thing itself does not bother me and there is no reason for it to bother me, I DO care about people who are (deliberately or otherwise) being unfair in regards to their own critique. Yes, that means I think you’re being unfair.
I think you are being dishonest if you call my criticism unfair without explaining why. Also, the nerve of you to say i am the one pushing a agenda, i’m not the billion dollar game publisher pushing for his preferred queer representation buddy, that’s EA and literally every corporation and their incestuous relationship with government.
>Every western government and corporations pushing the same message; i sleep
>Random guy on the internet disagrees with said messages; wow, propaganda much?
You are the scum of the earth, hope that helps.
I recently completed the entire Dead Space trilogy and IDK why people hate DS3. The game was much longer, locations were more varied, combat was better (precise aiming without input lag, faster and more difficult enemies that require precise dodging, amazing weapons creator) and the atmosphere from first two dead space games was still there. The only thing I didnt liked was the ending.
I don’t hate DS3, i just lost interest at the ending of the game, tried 2 times to play that one and abandoned. DS1 and DS2 i finished twice, maybe it was precisely because the game was longer?
Ellie was made into a damsel in distress (She basically does NOTHING in the game at all, whereas she actually fought and killed and even drove a f*cking construction vehicle into a giant door in 2), atmosphere was FINE, at times. It was a lot better on the SCAF ships, and the alien ruins were great to explore, but the whole mid point (the ground facilities and the snow) where boring. Variety isn’t necessarily there either if you count the dungeon runs which reused entire segments. Length doesn’t really make a game better, either. The characters in general felt weaker, like isaac-Only a few ‘hallucinations’ when he should still be suffering hardcore under the markers influence. Just because he killed a marker doesn’t make the permanent changes go away (His dementia is still there), though at least Carver gets to suffer through it-requiring a co-op partner to even experience it, however. No one else seems to suffer, either, even with the fact that the planet holds dozens-no, HUNDREDS of markers which should honestly result in an amplified local signal. It’s only when the DLC starts that things become interesting again, which-honestly-the DLC ending alludes to what DS4 would’ve been-finding a way to destroy the Moons, once and for all. So, I like that, myself.
Weapon crafting was neat, but the problem stems from how fighting was trivialized. At some point, body shots become the most viable method of killing a necromorph. Horribly balanced, would rather just lean on the same combat as 1, 2, and honestly? the remake, with the peel system making it more engaging and difficult.
In the DS2 Isaac not only killed the marker, but also went dip to his hallucination about Nicole that hounted him for so long and made peace with it.
In DS3 you still had to aim at the limbs but some weapons like harpoon, shotgun, flamethower, and especially contact beam no longer required aiming at the limbs for obvious reasons. You could also find these weapons in DS2 so nothing really changed. In fact harpoon in DS2 was my favorite weapon, because 1 or 2 harpoons in the chest were enough to kill even the strongest necromorphs (the fark ones) and with fully upgraded alternative fire you could kill multiple enemies at once.
For me the main difference in the combat between DS1/2 and DS3 was the amount of the necromorphs that were coming at you, and because there were also a lot faster, so combat was way more difficult and could become chaotic at times, but only if you didnt build or used the right weapons, so game was very rewarding.
Here’s some of the most powerful weapons in DS3. With them combat is no longer chaotic ;).
https://youtu.be/JSwmz4qpcvE
https://youtu.be/yIFUOwkxy8c
I also liked ultra fast plasma cutter with acid bath, and flamethower combo. This weapon was powerful at any distance and you could cut off the limbs easily with it.
“They made Ellie less manly and more feminine, reeeeeeee”
“I just… I don’t care.”
Lmao, you can’t larp as being detached bro, you either not care enough to not bother writing a single reply, or you care, deeply, hence the wall of text.
Don’t care as in I have no reason to be bothered by the actual thing, not as in i’m not bothered when people talk about it (Particularly in a bad that doesn’t seem accurate).
Since you are defending the “actual thing”, then you care about it, just in the opposite direction. Are you being intentionally dishonest or you don’t know which words to use?
Don’t care about White people being replaced by non whites, says the person who talks exactly like the people who rants about “too much white people in X,Y,Z”.
Such a toxic comment section, christ.
F*cck off to another site then
Your username and low comment count screams off b#tthurt alt.
Muh “i don’t care about white people being replaced”. Yes you do, you openly celebrate it with your shibboleth about “toxic” crap.
