IGN: E3 2012: Dead Space 3's Cold-Hearted Co-op

John Carver does not get along with Isaac Clarke. The hardened soldier, a new character for the franchise and the second player in Dead Space 3’s cooperative campaign, has no interest in Isaac’s psychological scarring and personal trauma.

"They're reluctantly paired together,” Dead Space Art Director Ian Milham tells IGN, “They have an arc…and they have different perspectives on stuff."

It destroys the game more than I had imagined it would. Constant dialogue back and forth between a partner kills any and all tension. Went from horror to full-blown TPS in only 3 installments. Much faster than it took Capcom to ruin Resident Evil.

BiggCMan5090d ago

Agreed. And i'm actually quite glad that a lot of people in the press actually realize this. If you were tuning in to Spike and G4, quite a few people have the same feelings, which is pretty surprising considering the press always brown noses. But yea, Dead Space was sooo amazing. I love every second of it. 2 was less amazing, and the multiplayer was abysmal. And now 3 :/

We can't quite say that from only one trailer.
Although I'll miss the isolated atmosphere of dead space 1&2.

Sevir5090d ago

I love the debbie downers on the internet! keep crying about the game game "Losing" its horror from 1 trailer which shows co-op and minimal gameplay! LOL from what ive read Its gonna be every bit as awesome and atmospheric as the last 2 games!

Megaton5090d ago

Oh, well if you've read it then clearly it's true. Ignore the stage demo (not trailer), but rely heavily on articles.

Sevir5090d ago

Considering that I read GI's article and in depth preview on the game just hours before the stage demo it set the stage for my excitement and it didn't disappoint.

This is like GOW: Ascension all over again! people doubting developers before they even play it! LOL can we have an open mind without bashing something to the ground based on 2 min trailers? I guess not!

AgreeFairy5090d ago

I know what you mean. This game will still be scary. Just thing of how much you'll have to babysit the AI! That scares me just thinking about it!

Sevir5090d ago

Once again! If you read it up on the preview, you know that you have know AI partner in the single player! You still get to experience things on you own! You only take action of Carver from online co-op!

Bimkoblerutso5090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

Not writing it off. God, why does everything on the internet has to be so melodramatic? Just because a few people express some concerns about a game does not mean that they're "writing it off."

Especially when it seems like a perfectly reasonable concern after that trailer. I'm sure it's going to be a perfectly awesome ACTION game, in it's own right. But it seems like a lot of the horror has been replaced with straight, testosterone-fueled action.

Sevir5090d ago

The fans most passionate about something are the most dramatic! This section that they debuted was from chapter 2 of the game and its just a portion before the sunsets and darkness befalls the planet! most people already think this entire game will be bright and colorful! LOL and its just because they base all that on the demo they watched and the 2 min trailer showing a more climatic moment of the game!

FunAndGun5090d ago

The WHOLE game is built around the co-op experience with the drop in and out.

yes, you CAN play it on your own, but it is really meant to be played with two people as this new character is with you throughout the game.

I don't care what you or anyone says. The game is built to be played with 2 people first, with the option to play by yourself second. You can't make a single player game and throw the option in to play with 2 people. it has to be the other way around.

Should of called it something else because the atmosphere and tension that made DeadSpace what it is has all but vanished. Sad but true.

Why Dead Space 3 Will Be the Hardest to Remake

If EA and Motive Studio plan on remaking all the main Dead Space entries, they have to change a lot of what made Dead Space 3 so divisive.

Simple, do not bother with a Dead Space 3 remake. Rather have a new entry for Dead Space.

myfathersbastard1162d ago

Yeah I agree. Make a dead space 3, but have an original story/setting. They’ve proven they can do the game justice, and I think they could evolve 2 in a good direction, keeping a similar tone. I’d love s Dead Space 2 and 3 though. The remake was fantastic. Top tier remake, up there with RE2.

jznrpg1161d ago

Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.

Ninver1161d ago

It's the worst in the series.

Dead Space 3, A Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Kyle Nicol:

"Was Dead Space 3 really that bad?

Well, it’s a complicated question. Dead Space 3 is undeniably the weakest of the trilogy. It’s a game that deviates so far from the original formula, that it throws a lot of what made Dead Space special in the first place out of the window. Although, where it does make up for it is one of the best cooperative shooters on the market, even after all this time. Do I recommend playing this game ten years later? Hell yes. But make sure your expectations are in the right place. It has a lot of problems that bring it down."
