Figured I'd start a thread with one of my all time favorite game series, Dead Space. The first two games are among my favorites; they genuinely creeped me out when playing in the dark at max volume. Also, it's been announced (and my friend who works here at EA confirmed it to me last week) that development is well underway for Dead Space 3 (http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/723541/dead-space-need-for-speed-games-coming-in-2013/) which I'm hella pumped for.

This is my favorite game series, even over Gears of War and Mass Effect. Dead Space is where it's at and I'm so freaking immersed with the universe I'd might as well live there. I figured a third game would be coming out sometime after 2012. Looks like early 2013 I'd wager. Im stoked, day one purchase for me for sure. Last I read it was to take place on an ice planet and have Isaac fighting his shadow and darker side. Good stufffffffff.....

I enjoy the first game's story more and atmosphere but I like 2's gameplay more. The second game isn't as genuinely creepy and lonely as the first. The first definitely had a more impending doom feel to it. I also think the USG Ishimura and the USS Valor were scary havens and tromping grounds for Isaac and his necromorph friends. The Sprawl is huge but was no where as creepy.

First game is also more difficult. Dead Space 2 I have beat the shit out of. I only need 4 achievements - Zealot playthrough, Hardcore playthrough, Decompress 30 Necromorphs and Zealot play through on Severed. I'm half way to beating normal game on Zealot (on Chapter 7 last I played) and may need about 11 more Necromorphs to decompress. I'll never 100% this game because frankly I can't be bothered to play Hardcore due to the time involved. If you could save it more than twice I'd be game but playing and using 2 saves for good measure is just too much time consumption I can't deal with.

I got all the achievements on both but after a metric ton of playthroughs...good god, I remember finishing the campaign and just immediately jumping right back in. Ugh lol.

The one thing I'm hoping for in DS3 is no multiplayer whatsoever. The multiplayer in DS2 was so blatantly tacked on and it lost its replayability after about two nights.

Loved DS2, but I did not even touch the multiplayer. Did I miss anything? The first Dead Space was superior to Dead Space 2. There felt like too many, 'Whoa my God, I know what is coming next' moments in DS2. I liked the story in the first while the second I felt I just wanted to complete it for the sake of getting my money's worth. I still loved it though.

You didn't really miss much, though it DID have its cool moments and a neat premise. It just wasn't enough to warrant doing more than like I said, a few nights worth. Fun, just not necessary.

Wasn't it like L4D? I remember watching a dev video when they talked about it, and I was like...well Engineers vs. Necromorphs? L4D much?

Multiplayer was neat and amusing but unfair. It was too level based to be fair and balanced.

What if they went an Assassins Creed route and made a multiplayer only game? I could see this working as in a fleshed out AVP concept.

Giant 'skyscraper sized' enemies, drop-in co-op...

Read that earlier and is it bad that I think they shouldn't? It would lose a lot of horror and survival factor for me to have a co-op partner that isn't AI controlled (such as Ellie from DS2). I welcome multiplayer and co-op in most senses and games but this isn't one of them.

As for skyscraper sized enemies, I fought the freakin' Hive Mind in the first game. I have skyscraper sized enemies down pat.

First thing I thought of when reading the 'skycraper sized' part was sort of a Shadow of The Colossus thing, which in the Dead Space world would be awesome. Could tie in elements from DS2 where you're flying around with your boosters and having to deal with this giant boss. DS2 had a few like that giant round one that shot those things at you and you had to take out the tentacles, but that's kinda different.

Fucking love these games. I bought both of them on PSN when I got bored one day and realized I forgot all about the series. What I love about this game was it gives you that feeling like you are actually there alone in a creepy ass atmosphere. In Dead Space, I found myself moving my head as if I was peeking around the corners almost scared to know what is on the other side. The first game scared me and even made me jump several times for example: The scene in the beginning when you run into the elevator and the Necromorph tries prying it open; that scared the shit out of me.

Dead Space 2 was just as good, but I agree that it didn't have that much of a scare factor like the first game. The game play however was much more smooth and just better overall. I have to get some time to jump back into these games so I can get the rest of my trophies for it. I am 75% done on Dead Space and about 56% on Dead Space 2. And now Dead Space 3? I knew it would come around sooner or later. Stoked!

Dead Space 1 was great, but Dead Space 2 is seriously one of my absolute favourite games of this generation. It felt a hell of a lot like Bioshock (also in my top 5 of this gen) with even better chaotic/fun gameplay. Loved the game so much that I instantly played it the whole way through on NG+ straight after finishing my first playthrough- the only game other than Bayonetta (another this-gen favourite) I've felt compelled to do so for. Never touched multiplayer though- seemed antithetical to spirit of the game (immersion, exploration and open-ended combat).

My only issue is that Dead Space, along with Bioshock and The Darkness, has ruined vanilla shooters for me. Why bother with boring gunplay when you have have insane weapons and cool powers to play with too?

I love Dead Space. I love the fact that they at least still try to put in some horror elements in there (unlike Crapcom) but still have a bunch of action and it be a GOOD GAME. RE4 and RE5 were basically the same damn game except different place and characters. They didn't even try to put any horror or surprise elements in there (minus RE4's oven man). Like I said, at least Dead Space had some horror in the game.

I haven't read any of the leaked info on DS3 and I don't want to until it's close to release date, which will probably be awhile.

http://www.deadspace.com/ also now seems to have some type of countdown that is going to end apparently around the time of E3. No mention of Isaac, but just of this new guy John Carver. New protagonist? Also all the talk of 'more shooting' and 'new cover system' of course has me a bit worried but I have faith...I hope lol.

New article. (http://www.inentertainment.co.uk/20120530/e3-unveil-for-dead-space-3-no-surprise/)

As Earthgov Sergeant John Carver witnesses an attack on the Marker Site while patrolling the planet Uxor, this event has a massive effect on his life, and his challenge is to fight his way through a colony now in complete chaos and find how important his position is in eradicating the Necromorph plague. Documenting the upcoming reveal, DSO Gaming (http://www.dsogaming.com/news/dead-space-graphic-novel-trailer-dead-space-3-will-be-revealed-in-five-days/) also mention the counter at the official website of Dead Space, which ends in five days, when EA’s E3 2012 conference ends giving us the impression that it will be unveiled during the conference. Speculation surrounding John Carver being Isaac’s co-op partner in Dead Space 3 could also be a hint that this man is the face for this new Dead Space game.

I got all the achievements on both

I haven't even tried for the trophies on part 2. I got 100% on part 1, but the "hardcore" mode or whatever it's called on 2, where you only get a limited number of saves? That just seemed impossible to me.

It's too bad too, because I really wanted that foam finger gun

I'm not super worried either. If there's one major thing the diehard fanbase consistently told them to NOT do, it's that. For them to say 'fuck it' and just make it a shooter with minimal horror elements would probably piss people off royally.

also, the first co-op screens have apparently leaked (http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/724290/dead-space-3-co-op-seemingly-confirmed-in-leaked-screens/).

Piko

I'm fine with more action. But it wouldn't be Dead Space without the horror. It worked well with DS2. They'd be stupid to stray too far from that formula.

05-31-2012, 01:32 PM
Man i do love the dead space series, but ive disliked everything ive heard about the new one so far. It feels like ever since the firat one theyve been gradually stripping all of the little details that make these games awesome.

Co-op is a hig deal, especially in the way they seem to want it implemented... much of the atmosphere of deadspace has relied on a sense of isolation... its odd to see them just outright ditching that.

Jinsai
05-31-2012, 10:57 PM
I don't agree about the co-op. I want them to try again, and this time do it right. It could have been so great. Remember when you first heard about the concept, and you imagined what it would be like? If they pulled that off, it would be amazing.

Thankfully, there's a single player without all of that. So I'm not too worried (hopefully). The bro-talk was ridiculous. I have to admit, I'm a little skeptical about this one now. There was nothing wrong with the survival horror/lonewolf aspect of the first two games. This just doesn't seem right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

06-05-2012, 08:13 AM
Not going to write off the game yet and am still very excited for it, but have to agree about the co-op. Some will enjoy it, but for me the feeling of isolation is too integral a part of the DS experience for potentially atmosphere/immersion-breaking co-op to compromise.

Piko
06-05-2012, 08:32 AM
I'm not writing it off yet either. But as you said, Isolation is essential to the series. At the very least, I just won't play the co-op first. Seems like the single player could retain the older aspects, while the co-op adds the other guy and a few extra dialogues and scenes. That's the impression I got anyways

owinn
06-05-2012, 09:45 AM
Yeah, hopefully doesn't lose the scares - it seems that sequels are still concerned with bigger monsters that are not necessarily better and co-op removes the feeling of isolation and adds the feeling of safety in numbers. Not a big fan of co-op in survival horror games but then this looks like more of an action based game in the way RE5 was compared to previous titles.

Piko
06-05-2012, 10:41 AM
It's the third title, so I can imagine they really want to make an impact. I just don't want this game to get too ahead of itself, which it seems like it is.

Watching a live demo playthrough with some devs and they keep reinforcing that they're "more than aware" of the backlash they'd get for making DS3 too shooter-ish and not keeping the tenets that make the first two so good. "You're in spaceship corridors, alone for the most part, wondering if it's safe to walk around that next corner. It wouldn't be a Dead Space game if we took the things we know worked best for us and just tossed that stuff out."

YES PLEASE.

owinn
06-06-2012, 04:25 PM
This brings me hope. DEAD SPACE is by far one of the most interesting Sci-fi IPs in ages and it woud be a shame to see it stoop to the depths of Resident Evil, which is proving with the playthrough of RE6 that it's pretty much a lost franchise.

october_midnight
06-06-2012, 04:58 PM
Online chat/demo is over. Whereas I obviously can't remember word for word (other than what I just posted as I was typing it out while it was being said by the devs)...I got:

The entire game can of course be played solo, and you still get the full story, but if you play co-op and have Carver in there, you get more story in terms of dialogue between the two and 'other events' that will occur if both characters are there. Someone asked if the Ishimura would appear, they wouldn't confirm nor deny, 'there are a number of ships in the storyline...', NO multiplayer confirmed, new Necromorphs (along with all the classics) including one that if you sever a limb or limbs, they'll morph in to other types of claws, etc. etc. New characters will appear along with pretty much everyone from DS1 and 2 that's still alive anyways. More mini-bosses and bosses in general. Zero-G will be in the game in some prominent places including 'one sequence that will literally blow your mind; better than any Zero-G stuff in DS2'. The sense of isolation is definitely big for them, and it's not Lost Planet 3 where you're out in the snow the entire time. Also, they wouldn't confirm/deny if this was the ending of a trilogy or not.

october_midnight
06-16-2012, 12:42 AM
I think I will too. If the ending doesn't change, etc. than I'll probably just do it co-op after one time to see the alternate dialogue, cut scenes, etc. Couldn't care less about the (almost certain) achievements that'll come along with co-op, but I'm with ya...not enough of a difference it seems to not make me wanna play through it alone waaaay more than with someone else.

Demogorgon
06-16-2012, 08:51 AM
Dead Space has always been a solo experience for me anyway; like, played in the dark, surround sound cranked, with nobody else in the house. i'll probably try and do the same with this one, and then after i've been through it i'll give the co-op a try just for completeness. i never really did the multiplayer for Dead Space 2 though; wasn't all that interested. Dead Space is meant to be played alone, i think, because the terror is ramped up so much more if you don't have any buddies around to keep the mood calm.

Piko
06-16-2012, 08:53 AM
Ill do co-op. Curious to see the differences and it might be a lot of fun. My thing is, I played the first two solo, so why not the third? So I'm going solo the first playthrough. Maybe ill jump into a random session from time to time. Who knows?

Finally got around to playing the first Dead Space. It's been a hard time for me because the movie Event Horizon scarred me when I was like 9 years old even though its a pretty shitty movie and the correlation between the two is the reason why I've had much reluctance to play this game after having it for about 5 months without playing it...that being said, I'm at chapter 7 now and I can't stop playing. This game is the ultimate in psychological horror for me and even the first Silent Hill game didn't have this kind of atmosphere (although close). The developers really knew how to put scares and noises in at the perfect time in and out again during this game. Bravo.

Don't be left out in the cold

Isaac Clarke will be making his third run-in with the Necromorph plague early next year, but that doesn't mean he is getting used to it. You'll still want to be armed to the teeth. EA is offering an instant upgrade to the Limited Edition of the game to anyone who pre-orders Dead Space 3 (http://www.trueachievements.com/Dead-Space-3/achievements.htm) and with it you'll get a few much-needed tools of survival. Check out the trailer below to see the gear in action.

If it wasn't optional, man that would ruin the entire game. I hate how the interviewer says that it will be easier to kill Necromorphs with a partner like it is so much more exciting when it is not. That was one aspect about Dead Space that I love was how you are alone and trying to fight for survival against all these awesome creatures. I will dabble with it once I play the shit out of it solo. I gotta jump into 1 and 2 again so I can get those platinum trophs.

Id rather play the real Dead Space first. With Issac, alone and deserted, fending off psychotic necromorphs, etc.

I'm pretty skeptical about this one. Seems like they're way more concered with co-op this time around than quality. The cussing was unnecessary in the videos i've seen. And apparently, it's rewarding to use profanity with the kinect. As much as it pains me to say it, I might wait until the game drops in price. So just by the target audience, alone, i'm a little put off by it.

I played the demo at a friends house and I'm gonna have to pass on DS3 until it drops to about $20 or so. It just doesn't catch my eye like the first two did and I'm also swamped with the JRPG's I've been playing, so I won't have any time for it and when I do, I'll probably just get Metal Gear Rising.

Lame. I was really excited about the prospect of playing a good survival horror game with friends, but if they're changing the game to accommodate that, fuck it. Dead Space 1 nailed it. They really just need to polish that and expand, not go back to the drawing board.

While I'm here, Dead Space 2 made the horrible mistake of having the main character speak. Are they doing that again?

And yeah, I bought the CE of DS2, and I only did that because I mistakenly thought it was the only version that came with the Wii game packed in. The stupid toy gun was ridiculous.

I agree with them making Isaac speak in the 2nd, when I first started the game I was like, "wait he can talk?". Anyway I'm a huge fan of the first two and reading this thread is worrying me. I don't think co-op is necessary. Hoping this isn't a disappointment.

I don't mind Issac talking, much. I would've been fine with a silent character, but I don't think they ruined anything by adding some dialogue from him. I have a problem when they turn Issac into a walking cliche right out of Bulletstorm. They going for the younger audiences (with the profane, rewarding voice commands on kinect), which is a joke. If I wanted to play Gears of War, I'd play that. I want Dead Space, a survival horror game. Not another co-op shooter.

I really, REALLY want to like this new game but after pausing to reflect after last night's playtime I have a feeling its going to be huge in scale and not much in substance. I didn't care for the weapon crafting and how they did away with the Power Nodes for one thing. I also didn't care for the human on human gun fights. Yeah, there's opportunity for a necromorph to take them out and reanimate their bodies but I still felt it as a bland shooter. Double tapping the sprint button now makes you tumble roll and pressing in on the left or right stick (don't remember) makes you crouch. It's to be able to take cover obviously. Decent controls but I've seen better.

I haven't played the co-op portion of the demo and I doubt I will, if at all.

Not a huge fan of the Kinect aspect of the game as it follows in line as a game that wants that option but doesn't even have a viable reason to have it.

I'll state it again: I'll enjoy this game and take it for what it is. I hope they cease production of Dead Space games after this one because this is a huge step in the wrong direction in so many aspects.

The first game did that so well with the vibe, and from when it started, to when the necro runs after you and tries to pry open the elevator door; it is so perfect as a scare factor. The second game still held that a little, but only up to a certain part in the game for me.

Really? Luckily I haven't seen or heard that trailer.

I agree though. I think they're entirely trying to market this to a bigger audience. It is fine to me but it really is tampering with how the gameplay from the first game laid ground to. playing the DS3 demo I seriously thought I was playing a clunky, straight up third-person shooter with random 'creepy crawly' enemies to surprise you between man on man gunfights. Didn't feel like shooting necromorphs nor did it feel like a Gears Clone (which GOW is my favorite shooter series) either. I don't even know what I can classify this as...it's unique I suppose but it still lost the appeal the first one had. The second game was pushing it at some points.

I played the demo's Co-Op mode with a friend and we didn't even need to use the Stasis Module one time while shooting. I hope you get more overwhelmed in the retail game than you did in the demo because I felt pretty safe at all times.

Dead Space 3 will launch with nearly a dozen slices of DLC, designed to help players accrue in-game loot faster and kit out hero Isaac Clarke with new weapons and suits.
These options are separate to the in-game micro-transactions (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-22-dead-space-3-includes-micro-transactions-for-buying-better-weapons) that Eurogamer revealed last week, which allow you to sheets of real world cash on extra resources for the game's weapon-crafting system.
Still, the DLC extras do tie into the same crafting system. In Dead Space 3 you can find weapon parts and resources scattered around the game's world. You also get them delivered to you via scavenger bots. And it's these little mechanical fellows that you can pay to upgrade.
There's a pack to upgrade your bots' capacity ($4.99 - about £3.15), and another for beefing up its personality ($4.99). And another for speeding up its loot collection ($4.99). Let's call it £15 for the lot.
We contacted EA for more information about the add-ons (spotted on the US PlayStation Store this week) but the publisher was not able to provide UK pricing.
"Everybody will find at least one of these bots in the game (and there a couple hidden ones to pick up, too.) The Scavenger Bot is an autonomous robot that can harvest resources for you and deliver them to the Tool Construction bench," Dead Space 3 executive producer Steve Papoutsis explained in a blog post (http://www.deadspace.com/news/article/dev-blog-executive-producer-steve-papoutsis) addressing the various DLC packs.
"As a replacement for DS2's credits, resources are a key part of the Dead Space 3 experience, and their placement in the game has been well thought out by our game designers. Whether by looting enemies, opening lockers, or exploring the world, you'll find more than enough resources in-game to fully experience DS3 on any difficulty level.
"The scavenger bot's purpose is to give you an extra edge, since there's a bit of gameplay (and risk/reward) to using him and finding the richest resource caches. You can also choose to download upgrades to the scavenger bot that double his capacity or speed up his trips to the bench."
The other DLC packs contain new weapons and suits for Isaac, including content provided with special edition versions of the game. These are similar to the Hazard, Supernova and Martial Law packs available at the launch of Dead Space 2.
Finally, there's a onilne pass to enable online play for non-new copies of the game.
The full list of launch DLC lies below.


Bot Capacity Upgrade - $4.99
Bot Personality Pack - $4.99
First Contact Pack - Free
Marauder Pack - $4.99
Sharpshooter Pack - $4.99
Tundra Recon Pack - $4.99
Witness the Truth Pack - $4.99
Bot Accelerator - $4.99
Epic Weapon & Resource Pack - $2.99
Online Pass - $9.99
Ultra Weapon & Resource Pack - $1.99
Resource Pack - $0.99


Only a few days, pumped!

Well, to be fair, EA has always milked this franchise w/ overpowered weapon/armor DLC. It's a little obnoxious, but easy enough to ignore and make do without it.

I'm really sitting on the fence here. This was originally a day-one purchase for me, and yet the more I'm seeing the more hesitant I'm getting. The demo bored me to tears, the gameplay videos I've watched don't do much for me, and the tone of these new ads is completely missing the point. I can't remember the last time I felt this way, but I'm waiting on the metacritic score this time.

meanwhile, this trailer can suck it

The online pass is only if you don't buy a sealed, new copy that'll come with one. I just got a bunch of free points deposited in my acct from Live Rewards so I'll probably just use them up on this. (also getting it free....otherwise I'd never spend any more lol). Most of this stuff seems pretty optional, in the articles I've read, Steve has always said that it's just for a bit of an edge and not really needed to get through the game. Personally, I want it harder so I might not even spend too much on these scavenger bots.

That song is so out of place with this game. Makes zero correlation to me.

As for online pass, every EA game with it has a mandatory online pass bullshit. I'm not surprised this game has it. The second game did. It's all just a way to combat used game sales, which most people buy the games brand new anyways so I don't see the point.

I pretty much try to buy every game I get, even months later, brand new shrink wrapped.

If you don't play this game you're really missing out. I highly suggest playing it with a pair of quality headphones. I would disagree saying all the focus is on co-op. Besides telling you you can play co-op and a couple of optional side missions that require you to be in a co-op game, it doesn't force feed co-op to you.

Well, just finished the first playthrough. They weren't kidding about it being longer...did most of the optional missions (now in New Game+ I'll know to do them all) and a few minutes of tinkering around with weapon crafting and my final time was 14:27, which is a good chunk longer than DS or DS2 if I recall correctly.

Nice story, satisfying and surprising ending with the obvious twist after the credits and the whole time I barely ducked or used cover, so it's good to see they didn't overdo it so all the online whiners could eat the dick when they realized how much they were pissing over nothing. Gonna try to get through it once more before GoW:J and BioShock Infinite drop.

Game is better than I initially expected. I had faith it'd be better and seeing as it's one of my favorite series it delivers but I still doesn't have the feel or the cohesive nature the first game had compared to this one.

I have played to Chapter 13 solo and to Chapter 9 in co-op. I must say co-op isn't a bad thing at all, despite this game not really prepped for it. Before you get to Tau Volantis, Carver isn't in cutscenes, doesn't talk and doesn't seem to have any role. He seems to be have tacked on. After you reach Tau Volantis he's seen, speaks and interacts. That's good, considering I'm Carver in the co-op play through.

Still would've liked single player only but co-op is a nice time waster, fun with a friend and amusing.

I made the most bad ass weapon. Uniquely my own! I wish you could upload blueprints online and not just to co-op partners.

Has all circuits maxed out with positive boosted effects, an electricity-induced round attachment and a scope. The primary weapon is a rivet shotgun that shoots a cluster of nails that are electrified. The secondary weapon is a further electric powered bolo bouncer that shoots electric plasma waves that slice and bounce off walls.

The weapon crafting is amazing. I still miss nodes though.

After you reassemble Rosetta and Danik leaves with the Codex and you have to get to the door, the fire blocked my path and there was no way to pass without dying. It was after you rounded the sample table, the path was blocked by fire and you couldn't pass without burning. Reloaded and it wasn't there, weird.

I finally played this and it was good! The Dead Space atmosphere survived in spite of some horrid dialogue. The mythology was better this time around though. But the rest of the stpry was like a parody of itself.

The graphics were pretty over the top... it was interesting to think theyll he outdated in a year. I didnt think Dead Space really had any roo. To grow visually, so i was surprised. Overall i think i might have liked it more than the second one.

Finished the game's single player yesterday and unfortunately felt the game derailed heavily towards the last couple of missions. Other than that, this game is on par if not better than Dead Space 2. Weapon crafting was a lot of fun, one shot killed almost everything with my rocket launcher+safety guard. It's the contact beam alt fire of this game (they nerfed the alt fire this time around). The game sure isn't scary, but that's almost a good thing for me. I guess I scare easily :o

Now, about that ending. They definitely overdid those environments with those huge aliens everywhere, and the mission consisted of just running back and forth. But what bothered me more was the plot hole of how the machine still worked even though it had been torn to pieces by the moon. How the f did that happen? Also, running around on those floating pieces made this game feel like you were in some alternate dimension a la Devil May Cry. It unfortunately took me out of the game... It was just too unrealistic.

Either way, my favorite game in a while, and definitely worth your money. Just expect an action game!

Only in it for the money aren't they?

I don't deny it. This game didn't look or feel that it sold well. I love Dead Space but won't be upset if we don't get anymore. We got 3 games, an arcade game, a spin-off title and a massively deep universe out of it all.

I also can agree I liked this game slightly better than Dead Space 2...

I got the DLC. They very obviously lopped off the last 2 hours of this game, it's proper ending, and sold it separately. Very shameless in that respect but overall a good experience.

All the creepy atmosphere and fucked up hallucinations and basically everything the last 2 games were missing are in here, and so in that respect it is a high point. It has a very, very difficult finale. they send and invincible, teleporting enemy after you in a confined space. the only way to take him out is to destroy markers, once they start glowing, and then aim at him during a brief window. The Markers take an entire clip to destroy, so part of this window is spent reloading, and as soon as the marker explode several of the games fastest and most durable enemies rush you. They provide extremely minimal healing support. I almost through the controller through my tv.

I like challenging games, and I don't think that I'll have too much of an issue with this, but games that make me want to throw shit and get mad when playing aren't fun. Don't know why people do.

I’m a little late here but it’d be a shame if Dead Space never made it to the PS4/Xbox One. In my mind Dead Space, Demons Souls, and Uncharted were the three franchises that defined gaming on the last generation console(s). DS had a great campaign mode and it created an atmosphere that rivaled anything else out there. I think that DS lost steam on the fact that it didn’t translate all that well as an online multiplayer shooter in a gaming era essentially owned by online multiplayer shooters.

Minus the disastrously horrendous Dead Space 2 Necromorph vs Human/EarthGov multiplayer, the game did quite well with not needing it. The co-op in 3 was a blast.

Dead Space > Dead Space 3 > Dead Space 2

Dead Space 2 would be my favorite. It was Isaac's peak with having to deal with the Necromorphs and having Nicole there to torment him.

So, wait... that subtitle concerns me. Are they taking a first-person shooter in the survival horror genre and turning into a battle royale style of game like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite? If that's the case, why would they do that? The whole point of the Dead Space games is to be all by yourself, scared shitless and walking through claustrophobic spaceship corridors and the building tension and creepiness factor of stumbling onto clues of something horrible that happened earlier. I hope they're not going to take a unique game that's known for something fairly specific and convert it into a cookie-cutter clone of games like Fortnite just because that's what's popular with teenyboppers these days.

It sounds like that's the case, unfortunately. And yeah, I agree that that's a pretty disappointing change that kind of kills my enthusiasm for it, but I'll wait and see if it looks like fun from the gameplay trailers. I have never played Fort Nite (and likely never will), but the Call of Duty battle royale games are kinda fun once in a while (I prefer deathmatch in CoD, though). The point still stands that this feels like a square peg being forced into a circular hole just because these types of games are popular right now.

If that's really the way this is going, that's the most disappointing game news i've ever heard. I love Dead Space, 2 is my favorite game of all time. Fortnite/PUBG is certainly not what i was hoping for in a Dead Space game.

Thanks for the Insider info lol... It just made no sense making a BR for Dead Space. Now, I wanna see what they implement into the remake like the RE2R was handled.

Haha no prob. My buddy does audio at EA Burnaby, he’s been there foreeeeever lol. As for other info, I’ll press him regularly as I do anytime I find out he’s working on a game but he usually says ‘sorry yo.’ lol. One unrelated tidbit is he’s also working on a new Star Wars game...annnd that’s all I can say lol.
