Dead Space Remake is so terrifying that even the development team struggles to play it

Dead Space Remake is reportedly so scary that even members of the development team are having trouble playing it.

In an interview with PLAY magazine (thanks, GamesRadar+), technical director David Robillard admitted they had trouble playing it at night with headphones because “it’s just too freaking scary”.

“If I play it at night, I can’t play it with headphones. It’s just too scary,” said Robillard. “Just the amount of realism and atmosphere again. Not just visual, right? In the way we deal with sound, ambience, effects, have systems that will try to scare you.

“These things, you know, could have been done [on PS4]but not at the level we are doing today,” they added. “And they really add a lot to that kind of genre and make the whole kind of experience come together even more.”

ICYMI, legendary film director John Carpenter has hinted that a Dead Space film project is currently in development. The Halloween boss has previously spoken of his interest in making a Dead Space movie – and has now said a project to bring the survival horror franchise to the big screen is now underway, though not connected to him.

“I’m a huge video game fan, so I’ve played all the games,” Carpenter said at the time. “I was looking at the new digital cameras, the RED, and happened to tell them I’d like to do a Dead Space movie. It just went around and everyone was like, ‘Oh, when are you doing this? ‘”

And did you see the news that it looks like Dead Space Remake will have an alternate ending?
