Dead Space Remake Download Size

[Dominik Ransom]

Thedownload size for this week's Dead Space Remake was posted on Twitter by 'PlayStation Game Size' - which gets its data from the PlayStation database and has proven to be quite accurate in the past. The pre-load for the new Dead Space will go live later today ahead of the game's global launch later this week (January 27th).

As posted on Twitter, Dead Space Remake will clock in at 'only' 31.110GB on PlayStation 5. This size is in line with the game's size on Xbox, as revealed some days ago via the official Xbox Store. Meanwhile, the PC version requires 50GB of free space on your SSD.

Earlier this month, EA detailed the graphical modes that will be available on the next-gen consoles, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. There will be two graphical modes available with the Quality Mode running the game in 4K resolution at 30FPS with ray tracing enabled. In Performance Mode, Dead Space Remake will run in 1440p resolution at 60FPS without ray tracing.

The USG Ishimura (石村) was the flagship of the Concordance Extraction Corporation and the first Planet Cracker-class ship. The Ishimura was also the first vessel of its size to be outfitted with a ShockPoint Drive and utilize it for large-scale commercial and deep space expeditions. It was named after Hideki Ishimura, astrophysicist and the inventor of the ShockPoint Drive.[3][4]

Commissioned in 2446, the Ishimura was considered a symbol of mankind's innovation. As one of the first capital starships to be outfitted with a ShockPoint Drive making faster-than-light travel almost trivial, the Ishimura was designed to mine and process asteroids and even small moons with remarkable efficiency. It was also the first ship capable of the pioneering "scan and catch" technique for harvesting mineral-rich asteroids. Utilising huge gravity tethers, the Ishimura could lock onto asteroids and pull them inside the ship's massive collection bays for quick and efficient smelting.[3][4]

62 years after it was first launched, the Ishimura was still in remarkable shape. Its equipment had been upgraded over the years, and many of its interior spaces had been retrofitted to take advantage of current technological advances. Despite so many long years of service, it remained the pride of the CEC fleet and was still the company's largest planet cracker. Whenever a vital deep space mining project required skill and experience, the Ishimura was the first ship to be called.[4] Without the resources gathered by the Ishimura, Earth and its colonies would still be embroiled in the Resource Wars.[3]

Despite being designed primarily as a mining vessel, the Ishimura also functioned as a medical research vessel. It had a dedicated medical wing where extensive research into virology, toxins and genetics was conducted.

Though the Ishimura was the pride of the fleet, the CEC considered it to be growing somewhat obsolete and planned to decommission the ship in 2509, following its 35th - and final - planet crack.[3]

In 2508, after the CEC learned about the accidental discovery of Marker 3A by the company's illegal mining colony on Aegis VII, the Ishimura was dispatched to crack the planet as well as recover the artifact. News of the Marker's discovery also reached the Church of Unitology, who proceeded to use their vast influence within the CEC to have several high ranking Unitologists posted in key positions on the Ishimura in an effort to secure the Marker for themselves. The CEC's Executive Director of Colonial Mining Affairs and a respected member of the Church, Warren Eckhardt, was responsible for seeding Unitologists throughout the ship and joined the crew himself to oversee the Marker's retrieval.[6][7]

Upon arriving at Aegis VII, the Ishimura's commanding officer and a devout Unitologist, Captain Benjamin Mathius, gave a no-fly order with the exception that the Marker, all related data, and the corpses from the wave of dementia-driven violence on the colony should be moved to the Ishimura. Once this was accomplished, the crew of the Ishimura began planet crack operations with the cover put in place to hide their Unitologist agenda.

Coinciding with the planet crack, the Ishimura briefly lost all contact with the colony. Once contact was re-established, the crew discovered that the entire colony was being slaughtered by unknown hostiles. At the same time, an unidentified fleshy growth had begun building up all over the Ishimura.[8]

Several survivors attempted to reach the Ishimura using the colony's remaining shuttles. After navigating through the debris field created by the planet crack, the shuttles were fired upon by the Ishimura's ADS cannons for violating the no-fly order. In the end, two shuttles successfully reached the Ishimura. The first was flown by Dig Foreman Colin Barrow and crash-landed into the hangar bay, and the second was flown by Gabe Weller and crash-landed on the hull near the Crew Deck.

Unknown to Barrow, an Infector had boarded his shuttle and infected his wife's corpse. After Barrow was killed and his shuttle crashed, his wife, the Infector and presumably a newly infected Colin Barrow escaped into the Ishimura's ventilation system and made short work of the Flight Deck crew before security could respond. The Infector made its way to the Morgue where it changed at least twenty corpses into Necromorphs which made their way around the ship.

The crew was attacked by the Necromorphs while they were on their daily routines. There were only a few reported incidents at first and word of the danger spread slowly through the Ishimura due to extensive communication failures between decks. Most of the decks were thus caught unprepared, presenting easy kills for the Necromorphs due to the vent system and leaving the decks utterly devoid of life. It finally became obvious that the entire crew was in danger when order around the ship vanished, with most survivors from the affected areas evacuating to the Medical Deck. With the communication blackout ongoing, the Bridge was mostly unable to muster an effective response despite some limited success on the crew's part using the Ishimura's emergency call stations to relay messages to security. Further measures came in the form of a blanket lockdown on the tram system, though the Necromorphs' propensity for vent travel meant this only made it more difficult for survivors to travel between decks.

To make matters worse, an unknown force (possibly crazed crew members or Dr. Kyne) had jettisoned the ship's complement of escape pods after Captain Mathius' death at the hands of Dr. Kyne, leaving the remaining crew trapped on board the Ishimura with no way out. As a last desperate resort, Kyne disengaged the ship's engines in order to prevent it from taking the Marker back to the Church. This, however, caused the Ishimura to begin a slow descent towards Aegis VII, threatening to crash into the planet and kill everyone on board. Meanwhile, the Chief Security Officer, Alissa Vincent, sacrificed herself to launch a distress signal into space, unaware that the Marker manipulated her into luring more people to Aegis VII with a hallucination of one of her teammates.

At the tipping point of the infestation, the most heavily contested areas were the Engineering and Medical decks due to their importance to the ship's continued operation and sheer concentration of survivors, respectively. With Vincent's team dead along with most of the other security officers onboard, however, organized resistance began to disintegrate rapidly. The Medical Deck was completely overwhelmed with badly injured survivors to the point where the medical staff barricaded the injured outside. While these barricades weren't breached, a rapidly growing pileup of unattended corpses in the secured area spontaneously reanimated and slaughtered any remaining medical staff. Engineering, on the other hand, had simply been abandoned by its few remaining crew as roaming Necromorphs made it too dangerous to continue their efforts to restart the engines.

Losing the Ishimura's security force alone had caused a precipitous drop in morale among the Bridge survivors that culminated in First Officer White committing suicide via the deck's airlock.[10] After surviving a Brute's assault with heavy casualties, the remaining command staff decided to make an exodus across the ship to the Mining Deck, a more defensible area where wandering survivors rallied. However, this bastion collapsed from within due to a combination of dementia-induced infighting and sheer attrition.[11] By the infestation's later stages, the only significant concentration of survivors had been a group of Unitologists on the Crew Deck seeking refuge by the Marker under the guidance of Dr. Challus Mercer.

It was at this point that the USG Kellion shockpointed in in response to the Ishimura's distress signal. Many of the areas of the ship were covered in Necromorph biomass or damaged resulting in failures in the ship's life support, automated systems and artificial gravity. Nearly all of the exterior lights were also inactive due to the loss of the main power. The ship's self-destruct system was offline as well as most of the other systems. The only viable way to scuttle the ship was to disengage the engines and allow the planet crack load to pull the Ishimura into the planet.

After the destruction of Aegis VII, the Ishimura was thrown out of orbit into deep space.[14] EarthGov falsified the details of the ship's fate, claiming that the ship was lost to a terrorist attack. The Ishimura was commemorated by the government and the CEC, keeping the public oblivious to the ship's real fate to avoid widespread panic and chaos.[15]

The Ishimura drifted aimlessly within the Aegis System for weeks following the incident. When an illegal salvage group known as the Magpies led by Jessica Li and Stefan Schneider were using a ShockRing to transport minerals, the Ishimura was caught by its event horizon. It was transported to the Magpies' position, destroying their Nest. The Magpies stabilized the vessel with gravity tethers and boarded the Ishimura, finding the ship in bad shape; its hull had been bombarded by asteroids, destroying entire decks. The oxygen was leaking out and nearly depleted. The ship's ShockPoint Drive was severely damaged and most of the power and artificial gravity was gone due to the damage sustained to the Engineering Deck. Only the emergency power and a few auxiliaries were still functional. The destruction of Marker 3A had caused the entire Necromorph infestation to dissolve into a soupy sludge-like material. Despite this, quarantine lockdowns were in effect all over the ship and the Corruption, though inactive, covered almost everything, leaving the ship a miserable shadow of its former glory.
