I am very excited for this.
Dead Space 1 is so good, and although some people seem to disagree, I feel it can stand a remake -- the console versions are locked to 30FPS 720P and feel very dated now, and although you can make the PC version tolerable, it needs quite a bit of tweaking nowadays.

I think Dead Space 2 might be the best of the original trilogy in terms of gameplay, but fundamentally I don't think it had such a coherent sense of atmosphere as 1. Although, I have to rank the section where you return to the Ishimura as being up there among the very best gaming moments I have ever had. The bit where Ellie says "They're pouring into the ship, swarming into the medical deck!" and Isaac is all "Well, good job I don't need to go there." *CLUNK* "Obstruction Detected. Now arriving: Medical Deck." always makes me laugh.

As for 3, I agree with some of the other folks in this thread that it was not a bad game; I've played through it twice now and it's a solidly fun sci-fi shoot-em-up, but it is a bad Dead Space game. The story is poo poo, it has almost zero tension, and it fundamentally does not feel like it is a sequel to the first two. That being said, I cannot avoid having a certain degree of fondness for a game which lets me make a revolver with an underslung revolver, or a weapon which rapidly fires superheated rivets which I can detonate in a burst of electricity.
