I say play 1 for consistency with 2 and 3

Dead space 2023 is the remake of the first Game Dead space 1 from 2008,

Yes the Triology is still fine but good idea to check the technical aspects about the games especially if you have a 10+core CPU.

For Dead space 2 you can just use the Marker patch.

They said they were not remaking 2 and 3 ... upparently bad sales

play the original 1 and 2 then remake dont touch the 3rd game its really bad

You got two things incorred:

1 - they never said they were not remaking 2 and 3, dev simply said it was not greelit now

2 - it didn't have bad sales, quite the opposite actually, if I remember correctly sold 2m on release and contnues to sell to this day, problem is that EA expected f*cking 5 million sales for some reason, so it's the usual didn't make unrealistic amount of sales so executives consider it a failure

Also, it's important to remember the remake was released in 2023, even if it was gonna happen 2 would probable be released at bare minimum around 2027 or 2028, EA put Motive Studios to work on upcoming Iron Man game though so if remake of 2 ever happens it's probably not gonna get out before 2030

Either way it's in the limbo, which is the same as not happening really, we can only hope that the long term sales were good enough to change EA executives mind

Tbf that could be argued as his point. It's not bad sales to normal people but EA it was bad sales cause you're right they expect more than what it makes it also tracks cause DS2 sold more than DS1 iirc since it was more action than DS1.

Oh for sure, was just clarifying really, a lot of things are successful but it's dumb executives who consider it a "failure", I think fact that it sold well at release and it's still selling might turn it around eventually, but you never know with executives

Play Remake + 2 + 3. Don't listen to the guys who say 3 is bad. They are just purists who don't understand that the series is evolving. Yes, it's a bit worse than the first remake and 2, but it’s still a very good action/horror game and a good conclusion to the story. I've been playing this series since day one and beaten every game at least 3 to 5 times. Trust me.

I don't see much point in playing the original and then the remake, because it's essentially the same game, but expanded and much better in every way. It’s fully optimized for modern systems with upgraded visuals and new features. Compared to the original, it's got side quests, deeper lore, and more.

just play remake -> 2 -> 3 (optional)
