Because remakes are big money. The series was essentially dead for many years but I assume they still want to do something with it at least one more time. To ensure a profitable game plus ignite the franchise again, they are doing a remake....if it does well...then I would assume we would see a new Dead Space game in the future.
Ubisoft is doing the same thing with Splinter Cell...though remaking the first game could be a pretty cool thing considering how old it is (and doesn't age that well)...
I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they remade Dead Space 2 a few years from now....definitely 3 (which could probably use a few more changes).
But I wouldn't be surprised they create a new game...who knows. EA Motive is making this remake, the same guys who did Star Wars Squadrons (which I had fun with)....according the wikipedia, there is an Iron Man game in the works...so maybe it wouldn't be the same...but it seems EA is trying to revive the series.

By the by, not insulting Gunner Wright or anything. The transition from real life to in-game didn't 100% work out for him there and I won't use Isaac's face as a deal breaker when/if I do play the remake but to me, he just looks like Adam Sandler and it's hilarious. He gonna stasis field those Necromorphs with his Click remote and pulverize 'em with the club swinging strength of Happy Gilmore.
From what I've heard, there is literally no cut content in this remake. They just added new stuff and made QOL changes. THAT is how you do a remake. Can't wait

Like too how Isaac's engineering seems to come into more focus now that you can optionally reroute power in sections of Ishimura giving it more that replay value. Will you sacrifice oxygen to keep the lights on like a sissy or power through the dark without worrying about a time limit? Imagine if such choices could also affect NPCs.
Have you noticed that the game changes encounters? I don't remember that being in the original game...
I went into a hallway with a bathroom, it was clear...the bathroom had 2 necromorphs in them...died (was very low health).
Reloaded...the hallway is now foggy with 1 necromorph...and the bathroom had none.
Well done remake so far. Graphics are fantastic, the sound is unbelievable and there isn't a single bad part yet. I also like the changes to the guns as well.
Totally justifies remaking a game that didn't need remaking.
I'll stick with the original.

What's next, remaking Elden Ring? Why not, since we're doing the equivalent of very small mods on perfectly serviceable games now.
Maybe we can remake GTA V, so it doesn't suck, that is one game I'd gladly accept a remake on.
