The fact you said "it's the same game that came out in 2008, just prettier" really shows the fact you have no idea what you're talking about let alone the difference between a remake, remaster, and reboot

Dead Space is a Remake, they took the original game and essentially rebuilt it from the ground up and completely overhauled most everything in it, it's not just a graphical update

A Remaster would be something like Okami HD where they basically just took the base game and updated the resolution

I haven’t played alien isolation in years so I might misremember parts of that game, but I do recall that the alien could not be killed. As a player, that tells me every situation is winnable no matter what equipment I have. Compare that to dead space where inventory management comes into play. While playing dead space, I become concerned about my remaining health boosters or ammo, I begin to wonder if I have enough resources to make it to the next save point. Or what happens if I save now but don’t have enough resources to beat the next upcoming encounter? To me the risk of failure adds to the horror, as well as the immersion.
