It has almost all of the same scares, the same set pieces, and the same plot, but everything is polished and revamped. Dead Space Remake isn't so much a reimagining of the original as it is an updated version. Dead Space stands out from other remakes in that it is incredibly loyal to the original game without being overly so. Resident Evil is almost up to the RE4 Remake, and Silent Hill 2 is joining the ever-increasing list. One other new release this week is the Complete Edition for The Witcher 3, which makes No.27.We're in the era where a ton of the most popular horror games of all time are getting remakes. The Last of Us Remastered (the PS4 game) is up a place to No.31 after a 27% sales increase. And those who are keeping an eye on The Last of Us due to the popularity of the TV show, you might be interested to see that the PS5 game - The Last of Us: Part 1 - is up five places to No.15 following a 32% sales increase. Last week's No.1, Fire Emblem Engage, drops to No.7 after a 76% sales slide. The new IP from Square Enix, which is exclusive to PS5, has got off to a relatively slow start and manages No.4. Again, this will likely change once the digital data is in as Xbox gamers tend to download more. Furthermore, Dead Space 2's physical release appears to be limited, with low stock reported across UK stores.Ĩ0% of Dead Space's physical sales were on PS5, with the remainder on Xbox. Especially as EA had a series of eye-catching digital offers around Dead Space, including PC gamers getting Dead Space 2 for free. We'll be able to have a better comparison between the two games once the digital data arrives later in the week.

It was also available on more platforms, as The Callisto Protocol received a PS4 and Xbox One version.

A few key differences is The Callisto Protocol had a lower price point than Dead Space (average selling price of £47 vs £63), and was released during the Christmas window when physical games tend to perform better (due to them being bought as Christmas presents).

However, it sold less than half of what The Callisto Protocol managed in its first week back in December (The Callisto Protocol is a very similar game made by some of the original developers of Dead Space). As a result, these physical retail charts can only tell us so much (digital data comes later in the week, and doesn't include subscription).ĮA's Dead Space remake was easily the best-selling game. Hi-Fi Rush was digital-only and available via Game Pass, while Goldeneye was (primarily) limited to subscription services. It was a busy week for game releases last week, with Dead Space, Forspoken, Goldeneye and Hi-Fi Rush all available.
