The Dead Space remake will blur out ‘disturbing scenes’ if you want it to

Dead Space (opens in new tab) is a disturbing game. One of its most iconic moments is the discovery early on of the helpful hint, “Cut off their limbs (opens in new tab),” scrawled on the wall in blood. It’s a famously violent, frightening gore fest from start to finish. But if you’re not into that sort of thing, a new filter in the Dead Space remake will give you the option to blur out the worst of it.

“Motive recognized that some players may choose to avoid seeing certain types of content typical in horror and gore games,” EA’s program lead for game accessibility Morgan Baker said in an update on Dead Space accessibility features (opens in new tab). “So the team wanted to explore potential ways to allow players to control how they view the game’s more graphic content.”
