EA's recommending some very new CPUs to run their Dead Space Remake
EA Motive's Dead Space remake is launching on January 27th 2023, recreating the classic survival horror game with modern visuals, more immersive audio, and improved gameplay.
This week, EA Motive released some early system requirements for Dead Space on Steam, revealing relatively high recommended CPU requirements for the game, listing AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel's i5-11600K. The AMD 5600X is a current-generation AMD processor (though their Ryzen 7000 series is launching soon), and Intel's i5-11600K released last year. Both of these processors are relatively new, suggesting that Dead Space will require a lot of CPU grunt to run well on PC.
Sadly, Dead Space's remake currently lacks GPU requirements, though we can guess that they are on the high side, as the game is launching exclusively on current-generation platforms. Dead Space's remake is not coming to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles, making the Xbox Series S the weakest system that the game will be made available on.
The sci-fi, survival-horror classic Dead Space™ returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up to offer a deeper and more immersive experience. Harnessing the power of the Frostbite™ game engine, this remake brings jaw-dropping visual fidelity, suspenseful atmospheric audio, and improvements to gameplay while staying faithful to the original game’s thrilling vision.
Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast Planet Cracker-class ship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship's crew has been slaughtered and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board.
Now alone and armed with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac races to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura in hopes of finding Nicole. Trapped with hostile creatures called Necromorphs, Isaac faces a battle for survival not only against the escalating terrors of the ship but his own crumbling sanity.
