OPM UK writes: It’s time to debate Dead Space 3′s co-op mode. Ian Wilson and Phil Iwaniuk lock horns and argue for and against buddying up in Visceral’s survival horror prospect.
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.
I keep my judgement open, it could be fun, but I believe the feeling of tension and fear will be diminish with co-op. I prefer to play this alone. Too early to judge though.
Dead Space was never really a survival horror game anyway. I'm all for it. I got bored about midway through both games, co-op could add a lot of value to the franchise.
Yes it is. The controls are perfectly set up for coop play. It can work and be amazing! The universe allows coop and it is a logical step forward for the franchise.
However... the main thing about coop in an established franchise is including it correctly. Having Coop that could potentially gimp the single player experience is a no no! Hopefully they balanced the game around SP (level design etc) and included coop as an extra instead of focusing on Coop and leaving the SP player feeling like he is missing out.
Want the ultimate solution? Should have had the Coop as a seperate campaign. Would have worked wonders for the franchise and could have expanded the Dead Space universe.
I don't THINK so...but I'm going to play it and buy it day one. I don't speak about what I don't know. So when I play it Ill know whether it was the right decision or not. I have to have some faith in the devs. I mean, running around ANOTHER ghost ship?
BOGUS!
So, BRING ON DEAD SPACE 3!
Just another attempt by EA to make the game less survivor horror and more standard shooter. They already said scary games sell less, and that DS3 needs to sell 5 million to break even(which 1 and 2 never reached). So what better way than make it appeal to the COD audience
