I have never played Dead Space either, and I was born at the perfect time to try this game since it was just coming out when I was only about 7-8 years old. I guess I never got the chance.
I have to admit that the graphics of this remake are on another level and maybe my calculator can't handle this game, but when I buy my PS5 (when it starts raining bills from the sky) I think this game will be one of the first games I will play.
I hope you get to be able to play it. You will most likely cry yourself to sleep because you are gonna be so scared.
