Motive's PS5 Dead Space remake has been out for a week now, and we thought it was pretty darn good. The creator of the original Dead Space, Glen Schofield, thinks so too and has congratulated the development team on their efforts.
Replying to a post on LinkedIn (thanks VGC) by his daughter, Nicole, Schofield thanked everyone involved in both the original and the remake, stating that "to all of you who worked on the original, thank you for your contributions to an amazing game, it has withstood the test of time. And to Motive, thank you for your care in remaking the game faithfully. Congratulations."
Schofield was the director of the recently released The Callisto Protocol, which inevitably drew comparisons with both the original and remade Dead Space, for better or worse. So far, The Callisto Protocol has reportedly failed to meet sales expectations. It was also assisted in development by Sony, specifically with its cinematic performance capture.
Where do you stand on the great Dead Space remake vs The Callisto Protocol question, do you prefer one to the other? What do you think of Schofield's magnanimous words? Let us know in the comments section below.

Dead space was better callisto was a new game rather than a remake.
im glad both were made
by the looks of it neither have sold well so i think that will be the end for both IP
@trev666 I can assure you Dead Space is going nowhere. There's definitely going to be a Dead Space 2 remake.
I have both games, but I haven’t played either of them as I decided to wait until the inevitable patches were implemented to give me the best possible experience! Reading into both games a little, I feel that I am going to enjoy Dead Space the most, but I am really looking forward to seeing what the Callisto Protocol has to offer! I also expect both games to have the sequel treatment in the future, and I do think the 2nd Callisto will be a lot better than the first.
@Bionic-Spencer Dead Space is hands down the better of the two, and it lasts longer than Callisto, but thats my opinion XD
Just finished up DS myself and it’s still brilliant; the remake hasn’t taken away any of its shine. I somewhat enjoyed my time with CP but its linear structure, lack of length (took me 6hrs to finish, DS 13hrs) and nabbing the Plat in one play through meant that it didn’t give any in incentive to return to it.
I’m probably not alone in saying that I REALLY, would like a DS 2 remake please
Callisto is gonna be bargain bin unfortunately, but Dead Space, as good as it is, is gonna be on price drop.
I hope they do DS2 as well. That game is bonkers.
Perfect comparison to Alien/ Aliens and Terminator/ Terminator 2
I found Callisto Protocol way too hard and this was on easy mode with dodge assist?!? I loved the DS remake and like others I’d love a DS2 remake.
