The upcomingDead Spaceremake is changing protagonist Isaac Clarke’s face, and thanks to the latest trailer, fans have been treated to a closer look at it. While theDead Spaceremake is expected to be mostly faithful to the original game, it is still making some big changes. Based on what’s been revealed so far, it seems some of the biggest changes in store for theDead Spaceremake revolve around Isaac Clarke.In the originalDead Spacegame, Isaac was a mute protagonist. EA decided to give Isaac a voice in theDead Spacesequels, which made his lack of a personality in the original game a bit odd when looking at the franchise as a whole.Isaac will have a voice in theDead Spaceremake, which should ensure that he’s a more interesting character than he was in the original. Many fans were happy with the news that longtime Isaac Clarke voice actor Gunner Wright would be returning to voice the character in theDead Spaceremake, but others have been less enthusiastic about the character’s new face.RELATED:John Carpenter May Have Leaked the Dead Space MovieFans have known about Isaac’s new face in theDead Spaceremake for some time, but the latest trailer has given them their closest look at it yet. As seen in theDead Spaceremake launch trailer, Isaac’s face has changed dramatically in the new game. He now has red hair, a longer, narrower face, and vastly different facial features when compared to his original look. It’s unclear why EA Motive decided to change Isaac’s appearance in theDead Spaceremake, but perhaps it was because his original look was fairly generic. Whatever the case may be, fans have had a mixed reaction to the face change.
Twitter user RuleTimeSpace uploaded a comparison showing how Isaac looks in theoriginal version ofDead Spacecompared to how he looks like in the remake. This really underscores just how much of a difference there is between Isaac’s original design and his appearance in the 2023 game, though it still shouldn’t be that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. While Isaac’s face will be shown in some cutscenes, for the most part, Isaac will be in a suit for most of theDead Spaceremake anyway.
