The release of Dead Space Remake last month has been warmly received by the original game’s co-creator, Glen Schofield, who thanked EA Motive for remaking the game with great care.
In a LinkedIn article posted by his daughter Nicole–who served as an environment artist on Dead Space spiritual successor The Callisto Protocol–Schofield left a note for EA Motive. “To all of you who worked on the original, thank you for your contributions to an amazing game,” Schofield wrote. “It has withstood the test of time. And to Motive, thank you for your care in remaking the game faithfully. Congratulations.”
Schofield is currently the CEO of Striking Distance Studios, which released The Callisto Protocol to mixed reviews last year. In comparison, Dead Space Remake has been hailed as not only a faithful recreation of the original sci-fi horror game, but a new standard for remakes thanks to its modernized controls, overhauled visuals, and clever tweaks to the source material.
