Player Attack: Action horror fans drooled just prior to E3 when it was announced that Visceral was working on a third instalment in the Dead Space franchise. Dead Space 3 looks like it will shift yet further away from its survival horror pedigree (though not according to a press release), but it offers enough innovation that we won’t feel that we are just playing the same game over again.
Just days after its big reveal, we had the opportunity to speak with Ellana Fortuna from developers Visceral Games, who filled in a little of just what's in store with the third coming of Isaac Clarke.
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.
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.
Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.
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."
With the upcoming Dead Space Remake, we replay and rank the original three games.
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
The Callisto Protocol

...uhm...

...Lost Planet 3?
They need to seriously continue this ip with a new entry. Even if it's just another movie I don't care I love everything about this game.
Eagerly await this game!
Hmm, this series is starting to become unrecognizable from the survival horror I experienced in the first game. Dead Space 1 was genuinely one of the most freaky and atmospheric games I had played in years.
I guess they ended up setting the bar too high. Oh well.
