When is the Dead Space livestream?

The Dead Space livestream is set to start at 10 a.m. PT on August 31. The event likely won’t have a pre- or post-show either, so don’t worry about sticking around or getting to the stream early for any extra details.

Where to watch the Dead Space livestream?

According to Motive’s post on Twitter, the stream will be exclusive to Twitch, with no other streaming services being mentioned.

What will be shown at the Dead Space livestream?

The tweet about the stream from Motive itself was sparse on details, something that we can likely expect to be reflected in the stream itself. We’re set to get “a very early look at the development of Dead Space.” That makes a lot of sense considering how recently the game was announced. However, that statement also dashes any hopes of the game releasing this year, solidifying it for either a 2022 or 2023 release at the earliest.

Likewise, GameSpot has reported that the stream will also include some “special guests” from the Dead Space community. This group is part of the Dead Space Community Council, a group of fans EA has been consulting with while working on the game. The stream will be hosted by Kahlief Adams, host of the popular Spawn on Me podcast, and content creator Jackie Butler.

Dead Space 2 doesn’t need a remake. It’s already perfect

uncharted creative director joins visceral games work star wars dead space

Dead Space 2 is, in my opinion, one of the greatest games ever made. One of the reasons for that is because it uses the best ideas from its predecessor, the original Dead Space, as a brutal jumping-off point both mechanically and narratively. Dead Space was a fantastic starting point, but Dead Space 2 upped the ante on nearly every front. Following the success of the recent Dead Space remake, many fans are expectantly looking at the game's developer, EA Motive, and hoping that it'll announce a remake for Dead Space 2.

As a die-hard fan of the franchise, I hope they don't make one.

Nintendo Direct February 2023: how to watch and what to expect

Link runs toward a ledge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

It's that time of the year again; the first Nintendo Direct of 2023 is upon us. Today, Nintendo is holding one of its trademark video game showcases toward the start of the year in order to tease what players can expect from the company for the rest of 2023. With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the horizon as well, today's Nintendo Direct is particularly exciting.

So you'll probably want to tune into the Nintendo Direct later today. If you're wondering how to do that and what else to expect from the event, we've rounded up all of that information here for you.

I played the original Dead Space before the remake — and I regret it

Issac stands tall in the Dead Space remake.

After skipping out on The Callisto Protocol once it became clear it wasn't going to become the next sci-fi horror classic, my eyes became fixed on the rapidly approaching Dead Space remake. While not made by the 2008 version's original team, developer Motive had been extremely transparent about how it was approaching the project through the entirety of its development. This was going to be a faithful remake, sticking true to what the original was, and only modernizing the look and making key changes here and there. This was meant to be a replacement for the original, not a companion piece.

Perhaps my expectations of Dead Space being closer to a spiritual successor came from the sort of marketing cold war going on with The Callisto Protocol. Both were heavily advertised and had high expectations; Callisto because it had Dead Space's original creators working on it, and Dead Space for being, well, a remake of Dead Space. While the former game turned out to be a major departure from what I was looking for in the genre, I decided instead to bide my time waiting for Dead Space by going back and replaying the old version one last time.
