ALex Hilhiorst writes, There’s no place for co-op in survival horror. There’s nothing scary about blasting away at aliens on a sunny ice planet while yelling obscenities at your buddy over Xbox Live. Adding co-op automatically turns the game into an action title; this was exactly what happened to Resident Evil 5. RE5 was a fun game, but it wasn’t scary, and as such it isn’t considered to be one of the better entries in the series. Instead of scrounging for ammo while running from zombies in a cramped mansion, you were now gallivanting around a nondescript African nation fighting, as my friend puts it, “zombies with AK-47s."
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

...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.
If done right there could be a place for it. For example you start in two different locations and make your way through. player a) has to do something to let player b) proceed and visa versa. I donno but maybe play it first before making a judgement.
I think a lot of Survival Horror series are giving up chilling atmospheres, and hair curling features instead for explosions, a perk system, and taking the shooter route moreso.
It could work like re outbreak, but I was thinking more like little to no resources I mean unless a necromorph was a soldier he won't carry ammo right and don't you think people would use most of everything trying to stay alive not leaving stuff at the shops? Not to mention tight corridors
Watch the GT demo of Dead Space 3.
Its possible to play through the game without that co-op buddy with you. Issac will be alone throughout the campaign and the option for drop in co-op is only available in certain sections.
