Last week, they shared details of how they were reworking its interstellar setting aboard the USG Ishimura, which has done away with loading screens. Motive are starting to get a bit chattier about their take on Dead Space as the game inches closer to launch. I was always a bit freaked out by their body horror weirdness before, but good grief. Speaking of squishy things, the overhauled Necromorphs look and sound bloody terrifying now. He’s still a big brown lump of metal with a soft, squishy human being inside though, albeit with a substantially improved number of polygons sewn in. The most immediate change from the 2008 original is that Isaac Clarke, space engineer extraordinaire, isn’t a silent protagonist anymore.

Motive's Dead Space brings a more talkative Isaac Clarke back to the USG Ishimura. You can decide for yourself after watching the trailer below. Is it possible to play a PC game from a safe place behind your sofa? If so, then the new trailer for Motive’s Dead Space might have just made me consider shifting my seating position when the sci-fi horror remake arrives in January.
