It’s about goddamn time.
This franchise is too good to be locked away and forgotten.

Grew up loving this, awesome series, but under EA that's iffy on horror plus with what happened to Visceral, I wouldn't blame Motive after getting this dropped on their lap probably being like:

Dead Space deserves to keep going.I’d have preferred a soft reboot after the mess that was Dead Space 3, but I’m happy with a modern remake.
No, the first game didn't need a remake. That said, it's a horror masterpiece and it needs another chance with modern horror audiences. It needs to continue, and reintroducing a new generation of gamers to the original (and hugely improved while being faithful according to interviews) masterpiece seems like a fantastic way to do it. I want this series to continue for generations of consoles into the future.

If anything, a full scale remake can retcon some of the issues with the story.
Also, yes, this will give Dead Space a new audience and that is very important.

I finally got around to playing the original Dead Space recently. Great game. Not sure when I'm gonna get around to playing the other two though. I heard they were a disappointment compared to the first one.
Dead Space was like Alien: creepy, scary, atmospheric, and cold.
Dead Space 2 was like Aliens: action oriented, explosive, balls to the wall, and hot.
Dead Space 3 was an unmitigated mess. It’s not dog shit, per se, but it’s overall a weak entry.
This remake can clear up and erase and stupidity from the canon.

Also, I wonder if Warren Ellis will return as a writer.Ellis has gotten himself into hot water recently over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Transmetropolitan is a fantastically written Vertigo title.
I read it awhile ago, and like enough about it. But there was a few things that got old quick.
Like the blatant strawmanning and mockery of Conservativism. Or the vendetta against dogs.
And it is a vendetta, Warren Ellis is noteable for long blog posts hating on man's best friend.
