Dead Space Remake byder på et "nyt lag" af sidemissioner

Dead Space Remake bliver ikke bare en 1/1 total restaurering af det originale spil med nye grafiske aktiver. Der kommer også til at være mere reelt indhold i det kommende spil, deriblandt et nyt lag af sideindhold.

I et nyt, stort blogindlæg fortæller udvikleren Motive om hvad de har tænkt sig at gøre, og her bliver det slået fast at der kommer til at være sideindhold, der kommer til at fokusere mere på andre karakterer, deriblandt 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."

Det er ikke alt, fordi de har også indsat såkaldt lore fra Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3 og de omkringliggende tegneserier, så dette er en mere definitiv og ekstensiv fortælling:

"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."
