Why Dead Space 4 deserves a shot

OXM - When Dead Space 3 went public, the big fear was that it was yet another misguided exercise in bandwagon-jumping, a survival shooter with aspirations beyond its (orbital) station, beguiled by the setpieces and tactical symmetry of a Gears of War.

Dead Space Creator Glen Schofield 'Already Making Calls' About Dead Space 4 Now EA Has New Owners

Could Dead Space return now EA has new owners? That's what Glen Schofield, the creator of the series, is hoping to make a reality.

P_Bomb219d ago

EA already makes so much money on sports and live service. Why not take a fraction of that cash, make a good single player Dead Space? Just do it.

chicken_in_the_corn218d ago

The backlash to a Dead Space 4 will be incredible.

LostPotato218d ago

Why the third game didn't sell that good and ruined the Ip. Let it rest in peace.

Red3f1ned218d ago

Because there's still potential and he's not done telling the story? Just because you get socked in the face really hard doesn't mean you lay down and just take it, especially if you haven't finished what you set out to do.

Michiel1989218d ago

yeah you're only throwing millions in the bin, no biggie.

-Foxtrot218d ago

The point is they really ruined the story where most people just don’t care

Now if they remake DS2 and then redo DS3 as a completely new game, branching the game off into a new timeline then we are golden

Pedantic91218d ago

If Callisto is his idea of a Dead Space game without the supervision of EA, i don't think i'd want to see where he'd take DS4 now that EA aren't the ones in charge. No wonder he's "already" making calls.

spoonard218d ago

Oh, another sportswashed game I will never buy because I don't support the Saudi royalty.

Seraphim217d ago

do you purchase gas? you're supporting Saudi Royalty.

Huey_My_D_Long217d ago

No shit. We can't go without buying gas. People can go without games. There is no ethical consumption in capitalism anyway.
But people can make stands if they like.
No idea why it bothers you, dude isn't even asking others to join in on his boycott

Seraphim216d ago

@Huey - you make many assumptions. I was simply pointing out a fact.

Visceral had some cool ideas for Dead Space 4

When it comes to Dead Space, what dies doesn't stay dead for long. Dead Space 3 launched in February 2013 and EA has said nothing since to indicate it's ready to revive the science fiction horror series.

"Ben did note that in order to get the budget down to Hellblade levels, they would have to cut some of the very expensive set pieces the series was known for, in case you were curious what was driving up the budget in the first place."

I think Publisher/Dev should know that it hard to make AAA TPS Survivor-Horror game sold well like Resident Evil.

Seriously,TPS Survivor Horror game it very rare now adays.

SCW19822872d ago

I would say the big budget set pieces in the second game are what make it not as good as the small intimate intense settings of the Ishimura from the first. Dead Space 1 >>>>>>>&g t; Dead Space 2

Sevir2872d ago

I still felt Dead Space 2 was amazing. I liked that it balanced the set pieces with the intense horror, it was a great pacing too. The first 2 games will always be my fav modern horror game. The 3rd game was your perfect example of EA extorting a fantastic studio and IP only to cancel and condemn it and the people who worked on it after they forced the developers to go the wrong way

Concertoine2872d ago

Imagine Dead Space 1 without the side characters telling you what to do. Its just Isaac alone and insane in the environment - terrifying prospect.

It alaways seemed like the natural evolution of the series to me.

sonarus2871d ago

I really miss dead space especially as resident evil went the more action route this was best survival horror game out there. 3 was borderline garbage but 1&2 were great very disappointed we haven’t gotten a 4 yet. I think this game a new resistance game and Warhawk are what I wish most from PS3 era

Yui_Suzumiya2872d ago (Edited 2872d ago )

Yeah, Resident Evil and The Evil Within are the only big ones I can think of.

Plagasx2872d ago

That's why I worship Bethesda for giving us a game like The Evil Within and a sequel. I don't take that for granted not one bit. I support it every which way I can :)

AspiringProGenji2872d ago

That's what they have done instead of Battlefield Hardline, then fk EA happened

annoyedgamer2872d ago

RIP Visceral. Also RIP Danger Close games

Majin-vegeta2872d ago

Danger close is actually now DICE L.A.So technically they're still open

SCW19822872d ago

Cut the expensive set pieces, give us a small terrifying and deeply intimate horror experience.

annoyedgamer2872d ago

Asking EA to make quality is like asking water not to be wet. It won't happen and when the studio is shut down they will issue a press release saying it all our (the fans) fault.

sle7enn2871d ago

Water isn’t wet, water makes things wet. But I agree with what you are trying to say

FinalFantasyFanatic2871d ago

A space station, a deserted base, there are so many places where they could still do the small enclosed set piece.

-Foxtrot2872d ago

Would any one want Dead Space 4 with how much they f***** up the story and how silly it's become

I mean a moon guys...A GOD DAMN MOON

Then there's the fact Dead Space 3 was just an awful story in general. I'd prefer it if they did a new one and Dead Space 3 was just a nightmare Isaac had

gantarat2872d ago

I really hate love triangle story.

Fist4achin2872d ago

You're on to something. Opening scene, Isaac wakes up in a hospital while DS3 scenes flash on the screen. Says something about a crappy dream and then bam, goes right into DS4...

Oh, and they get rid of the weapons crafting system from DS3.

Yui_Suzumiya2872d ago (Edited 2872d ago )

The weapon crafting system was the worst in this game. Totally unnecessary. Nothing much else bugged me as much in the game except for that.

Bobafret2872d ago

I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets.

-Foxtrot2872d ago (Edited 2872d ago )

Because it's shit compared to the first two to put it blunty

If you have something which is a solid 9/10 and you release something that isn't that good while dumbing down the franchise in the later instalment then it's going to come off worse then it is as it's being compared to something better.

Take Resident Evil 5 for example, it was an alright game but it was a shit Resident Evil game. Speaking of that, Dead Space 3 ticked more people off because EA saw the hate Capcom got for that game with them going towards the action route along with co-op yet despite being crowned the "new survival horror franchise" they decided to do the EXACT SAME MISTAKE. It was idiotic and I share no sympathy for them.

Fist4achin2872d ago

Changed the feel too much. 3 felt more like a COD type game as opposed to a survival horror game.

gantarat2871d ago

It not a bad game by any mean but it not people want from dead dpace game.

Bobafret2871d ago

I loved the segment where you are travelling from derelict ship to derelict ship, the setting was very creepy.

ziggurcat2871d ago

"I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets."

because they shoved co-op into a game that wasn't about co-op - and they turned it from more of a survival horror into an action shooter.

I never finished 3. The first two were amazing, and the first one is still one of my favourite games from last gen.

NapalmSanctuary2871d ago

I like it when -Foxtrot gets blunty.

Is now the time for Dead Space 4 or Dead Space Trilogy Remastered?

PSU takes a look at the possibility of Dead Space 4 or a Dead Space Trilogy remaster of EA's once popular action adventure sci-fi series.

FTLmaster3265d ago

There's a Dead Space shaped hole in my heart... I'd be all over more Dead Space.

Krangs_Uncle3265d ago

Dead Space 4 which is like DS1 please.

edeprez3264d ago

1000x yes. I still to this day can't stomach playing DS3. They just had to jump on the Co-op wagon, not in my horror game! Let's hope

darthv723265d ago

A new dead space would be welcomed.

monkey6023265d ago

No more Remasters! New content please

DevilishSix3265d ago

agreed but if they are not going to make anymore Dead Space games, I would at least want a remaster or rework to bring the first games up to date.

FinalFantasyFanatic3264d ago

I don't get all this hate for remasters, we're getting so many sequels and new games, does it really matter?

Einhander19713265d ago

Agreed more DS1 what an amazing game.
