In an interview, Producer Philippe Ducharme and Creative Director Roman Campos-Oriola said that the storytelling in the remake would be adjusted to better fit the larger universe that spun out of the first game. Now, dialog lines show him interacting over the radio with his companions and people aboard the ship. In the original, Isaac was largely silent. There are segments of the game when an autosave happens, but don't rely on these, or else you'll risk incurring a significant setback.Outside of the graphical improvements, one key difference between the Dead Space remake and the original is in the voice acting. Dead Space, however, predates that feature, which means it's important to save your progress often. Modern games autosave a player's progress frequently. If it's that low, make sure to keep your distance. The problem is that certain Necromorphs have a grab attack that can immediately kill Isaac if his health is in the red. Since Dead Space is a survival horror game, healing items are hard to come by. Isaac's health is viewable on his back and goes from green to yellow to red as it's depleted. Once a Slasher's arm has been severed from its body, that giant claw can be thrown at the enemy to deal damage. Even the Necromorphs themselves can act as a weapon.

Isaac can also yank poles from the ship with Kinesis and then hurl them at a Necromorph. The two obvious ones are the bright red canisters that explode on impact, and the glowing blue-ish containers, which can cause a Stasis effect to enemies caught in the blaster. Thanks to Kinesis, many objects found around the Ishimura can be used as weapons.
