11 hours long, but I’ve got some good news for you if you’ve pre-ordered the game on Steam: you’ll be able to jump right into Dead Space 2, as it appears to be a little bonus for those that have got the game on order.
Dead Space 2 takes place a few years after the events of the first game, and while the original Dead Space pit protagonist Isaac Clark as a silent one, its sequel did give him one. In order to match up with the sequels a bit more, Isaac will now be talking in the remake. Though developer Motive Studio did note that he only does so when spoken to, and in situations where it makes sense, so it doesn’t sound like it will be drastically different from the original.
