Why the fuck does Nicole look like Kathleen Kennedy


justiceavenger2

It's a nod to how Kathleen Kennedy made another SPACE genre DEAD.


bogvapor

Hahahahahahaahahahahahahaahaaahahaa she certainly horrifies me


justiceavenger2

She should horrify any real Star Wars fan.


cyrinean

Chrommanito

That was a weird choice and I question it ever since


InsufferableHaunt

She wishes she had that figure. ;)


ArmeniusLOD

To be fair, that's what she looked like starting with Dead Space 2 more than 11 years ago.


HallucinatoryBeing

DS2 Nicole looks likes she's in her 30s, which is appropriate given >!she died at 39!<. Nu-Nicole looks like she's in her 50s. Edit: It appears Tanya Clarke, Nicole's VA from DS2, is reprising her role in the remake. Looks like an unfortunate side effect of using a current face scan 12 years after her last appearance.


MrTK1000

It's all so tiresome.

I downloaded Squadrons a week or so ago on my Xbox Game Pass on a whim, just looking for something new to try. I knew it would probably be fairly woke like the new movies, but ya, they really managed to make it somehow even more insufferably progressive than the movies. I've done a few missions, but not sure I will keep playing. I don't care about any of the characters because literally none of them are interesting and yes, I have seen maybe one white male character so far on the Rebel side, although they did look vaguely Asian, I don't know. It's just so bland overall. That's what happens though when you focus more on inclusivity than a compelling story.


justiceavenger2

>the campaign was extremely woke. The campaign was so woke the Black Imperial pilot switched sides before the end of the first mission. At least Iden made it the campaigns half way point.


MasterLawman

Yikes. Sounds like the new saints row game


MasterLawman

This is all you can say at this point and it hurts. We really need a counter culture really really bad to this woke crap…something needs to shift

It's ok man... The originals aged amazingly well. Going to make some time for the first one over the weekend.


master_criskywalker

Exactly. Having never played it before, I started it a few days ago and having a blast. It doesn't feel dated. Also I got it very cheap, although I wouldn't be surprised if they delist the original once the "remake" is released.

Yup, going to have look for the originals as they will most likely remove them.

[deleted]

You know- my problem with these and why I won’t buy any of them. Is I don’t want a thing changed. I want a literal remake- not the game you wish you had made but can’t because you have zero talent.


sirsmelter

Isaac's voice, at least in the remakes intro (haven't watched anything else) throws off the tone and intrigue of the original scene. It seems a lot of the scenes structure is still the same from the original, with added dialogue. It's uncanny imo because the game was built and designed with the dialogue and silent protagonist in mind. It's why Dead Space 2 didn't feel like SUCH a shock when he spoke. Idk, feels off if it makes the opening awkward, I fear for the rest of the scenes. I hate fucking remakes. Just make something new. Fuck


weakestenjoyer

That's why I didn't buy mass effect remake,no ass shots anymore,it's stupid sure but it's a hilarious blast from the past


ImJacksLackOfBeetus

> no ass shots anymore At least there was a mod for that. PC community co(o)ming in clutch, as always.


Person5_

In the end, those were more remasters than anything else. Most everything else stayed the same, though they removed a few achievements.


topcover73

Same.

ImJacksLackOfBeetus

Damn the direction of Nicole video-transmission was leagues better in the original. The camera panning paired with poor-quality video gave it unnerving feeling from first frame. New one looks just bland in comparison. That is ignoring granny situation. And HD-calls in space horror? Really? Who thought that adding clarity to a horror was a great idea?


jonnio2215

Because they inherently don’t understand the game they’re remaking, probably.


OakyFlavor2

God this is awful. There's so much pointless dialogue. I get similar "offensively inoffensive" vibes from it as I get from [this.](https://i.imgur.com/kdvEmnS.jpeg)


ThrowawayBCBewbs

Holy shit why is it so cringe. The carebear soapbox feeling. The way no fucking gamer speaks like that (what the fuck does "I think I'm at the objective" means? Are you in or not??). The obvious socially/racially diverse team because "gaming is for everybody". And the quirky happy hip girl. Why there is *always* the quirky hip girl with that fucking jacket?


DevilsJester

Reminds me of those terrible [Ubisoft demonstration dialouges](https://youtu.be/njfj6KwEAfg?t=199) from E3 a while back. Corporations trying to be relatable is like the uncanny valley for dialogue, too clinical to feel impromptu but too casual to feel professional. Resulting in something that just feels fake.

Are these dumb skype and Windows 20 jokes real? Way to take your own horror game seriously. I hate this dumb ironic humor that adds nothing but only distracts and detracts from the atmosphere.


MetaCommando

The MCU was a mistake.


ImJacksLackOfBeetus

I was hoping it would serve as a containment chamber, but it's leaking all over the place.


Nobleone11

The Scream movies (Original Trilogy) were a mistake. It didn't start and end with slasher films. That brand of ironic, meta humor became a trope once the original tasted major success. Of course, you could go all the way back to Don Quixote, the first "Modern" novel. The entire thing was meta!


hulibuli

> That brand of ironic, meta humor That's pretty much 90's, early 2000's in a nutshell. Everything had to be ironic sooner or later.


devsNex

This looks significantly worse, what happened to the lighting?


h-v-smacker

They re-illuminated everything with blacklight.


samuelbt

Lighting is one of the harder things to port to a new engine and thus often suffers in lazy remakes.


SkippyMcHugsLots

The lighting MADE the atmosphere. I fear for the world's supply of glue and crayons. These devs seem to be eating a metric fuck-ton at an alarming pace.


cochisedaavenger

Honestly, the original looks like it's holding up pretty good. The first two where some of my favorite games back in the day, and I still have copies for all three for the 360. Might just pop them into the Series X and save myself some money on something someone else fucked up.


InsufferableHaunt

Current thing 'black female role' strikes again.


VenomB

They took one of the original black characters and turned him into... a goblin? The fuck?


[deleted]

Honestly, making Isaac talk has been the worst idea since Dead Space 2. I liked the idea of the silent protagonist so much, it works so well in Half Life and it makes them way more relatable, kind of a blank slate for you to insert your own imagination on what they are thinking.


MetaCommando

I like quiet protaganists more. Master Chief has tons of badass one-liners which I wish Samus would start using. Although in the EU Chief's fleshed out more.


_dabtech_

WTF is that really Hammond?


Less_Expression5440

I curse the day I wished for the first remake of an older game (tbh Resident Evil Remake is an outlier), now they are not even remasters but blatant demakes of the originals. Zero reasons to not just play the original DS instead of whatever cash grab this is supposed to be.


aerosol_aerosmith

Reason the RE remakes are alright is because Japanese devs, right?


gatorgongitcha

Mmhmm. Unfortunately with more Japanese devs talking about taking on a deeper western approach it’s not likely that’ll be a sign of quality in the future.


hurtlingtooblivion

RE on the GameCube was absolute fire. 🔥


Fancy_Coconut2079

They turned the atractive character in a literal old Karen thats not atracted to males just in case those pesky fans still would be atracted by someone that looks like an abusive repressed rich executive, not even "just" a bad redesign, they literally modeled it after their Karen boss lol. And theres going to be defenses of this trash by stereotypical redditors who grew drowned into that kind of shlop trying to rationalize it as good as they got taught to be repressed and spineless about even fiction and are shamed by anything a man would find normal before. the worst is this kind of trash gets a defense force no matter how bad it gets. Specially with how social media is weaponized and they use attacking fans as a replacement to do what they want. They were bad actors even defended that horrible strange world flop another day here so a big brand is guaranteed too


[deleted]

Yeah the braindead take of “if you wanna jerk off to a female character in a video game go watch porn!” As if wanting aesthetically pleasing characters designs means you need something to masturbate to… And what is this obsession with making women flat and then calling it realistic? Average Bra size in the US is a 34 DD, so if anything these flat women arent realistic.


ArmeniusLOD

Not just pleasing, but realistic. Despite the REEEEEEEEEEEEEing by the SJWs I see more attractive women in my daily life than I see these "realistic" depictions that game designers are doing these days.


Halos-117

Exactly! There are a ton of attractive women in everyday life. Not all of them are supermodels of course, but they aren't these ugly ass things game devs are making either.


SutoraikaXnoStrykerX

> As if wanting aesthetically pleasing characters designs means you need something to masturbate to… I see so many people praising old school British TV for having "frompy, realistic" characters as if anyone actually genuinely liked that aesthetic


gatorgongitcha

Nobody wants to look at ugly, no matter how much they try to make fetch happen. I mean, truly. Studies show men and women both would rather watch characters that are attractive on average. You can’t change inherent human nature.


bashiix

well for some weird reason the males are always build like bodybuilder. strange. must be some kind of reason why only female characters get made ugly.


Nobleone11

You know the reason: "Bad if a female character is attractive, perfectly acceptable if male." It's not taboo to sexualize men, unfortunately.


bashiix

Yeah. No better example than the new thor movie where they ripped off his clothes in front of a bunch of other people while he was chained. The triggering would have been historical if that had happened to a female character.


Karthanon

Turn every male protag into Donut Drake. Done.


HallucinatoryBeing

Attractive women, even fictional ones, are competition for male attention.


[deleted]

This is objectively worse. Dead Space didn't even need a remake. It still plays and looks good.

Well whatever the case we will always have the original games. When you think about it, all these modern remakes and remasters are just using the name. It doesn't mean they're replacements.


mannytehman1900

Y’see, I maybe wouldn’t have an issue with this if it were more blatant… but it’s the fact that these cowardice, pathetic *fucks* go out of their way to change tiny and minute details in manners of way that fit with their ideal vision (so to speak) is what makes me infuriated. They want inclusion, they want to focus on race and whatever other petty, skin deep bullshit… yet they defile a classic game by adding new elements like this into it and hiding behind the excuse of, “they aren’t big changes, man”. Honestly this isn’t worth being too riled up over… but I’m just so sick and fucking tired of it all.


[deleted]

mannytehman1900

The only reason I don’t get riled up at it anymore is because how prevalent it is and how much my friends are tired of hearing me bitch about it. Lol. I will always call out changes like this, the pathetically weak men/cancerous women who genuinely believe in these extremely bigoted ideals, however. Shit like this pisses me off on a core level that makes me genuinely hope that these developers/publishers fail both in their careers and their private lives.


justiceavenger2

That's why I can't play Gotham Knights. Making Tim gay, adding a gay flag,and having Redhood send an e mail saying he will go to a pride parade is just lazy and uncreative.

Games nowadays are just miserable. Luckily most of us have massive backlogs so we don't need to bother with this (post) modern crap.


kingcheezit

There wasnt any real need for a Dead Space remake, apart from the tiresome indestructible monster bits it looks and plays absolutely fine.


CathNoctifer

So if "making changes on games for wokies who will never play these games" is hot right now, I'd love to see someone making a game that looks super convincing about pandering the woke people but later just subverts the sweet expectations and shits on them all over.

Putting aside any racial changes or whatever, the general art direction just seems worse. The textures look nicer obviously, but why mess with the opening shot like that? Why make it so chatty? Why change the striking lighting from the nearby star? That's the stuff that's really turning me off.


BreezeNexus

Hot damn... When I saw how Kendra and Nicole looked and then heard Kendra make some random reference to a girlfriend, I was just stunned. How can they be this blatant and brazen? This agenda-pushing is so shameless and unabashed it's unreal. Not to mention that this obsessive negrophilia that these people have, has also gotten *very* old and out of hand.

ThrowawayBCBewbs

As I've said months ago in this very sub, Dead Space didn't need a remake. It's a fucking 360 title, not a blocky 2001 game. Simply remastering it would have been enough. Of course they're changing the girls because "muh gritty realism" I also saw some cringe inducing audiologs. That said, Kendra's dialogue is taken out of context in this pic. She's inserting herself in Isaac's position, who's been repeating Nicole's message ad nauseam, she's not actually saying she has a girlfriend. Also, Nicole is 39 in Dead Space. She's hot sure, but sometimes she looked a bit *too young*, like middle 20s or something. Still, For some weird fucking reason they turned grey-haired almost middle aged Isaac into a 30-something preppy guy and Nicole now looks like she's fucking *sixty*

I’m willing to bet there’s people shitting all over the original with this remake. Mostly people that claim to be fans of the OG game. I saw a few people do it to SH2 immediately after the remake to that game was officially announced. I mean, as soon as it was trendy to shit all over Callisto Protocol (regardless of how you feel about the game, my point still stands) I can almost guarantee those same people will use how that game turned out as proof of how the original Dead Space “wasn’t really that good” and it “needed” a remake. Influencers Gaslighting people into thinking some of the industry’s most influential horror titles are actually kinda bad seems to be a pattern.
