If cutting set-pieces would've made for a much more affordable budget then I would be all for it.

I wish MS would have picked up Visceral Studios. Lots of Talent.

Still sad this series died. That first game was such a great surprise playing through. Will never forget the death animations. That tall lanky enemy that took my head off and put it on his own headless body, then stumbled away leaving my corpse to rot. I just reloaded and got killed just to watch it happen again. Dead Space will forever hold a space in my gaming heart. I feel it will come back at some point, but withwithout the same developer, not sure it would be as exciting.

Sadly looking back while Dead Space 3 was a good 7/10 game (in my opinion at least), it was not the game that Visceral wanted to make.The under-performing sales of Dead Space 3 and EA's manipulation of the studio, unfortunately lead to Visceral closing. Dead Space 4 may have been a great game, had EA let Visceral make the game that they wanted.

Would have loved a Ds4 for sure. The first 2 were amazing. I still liked 3 as well.

Personally, I think horror/survival games are actually better with a lower budget. We don't need crazy set pieces for these games. Instead use that money to refine the gameplay, music, writing, characters and atmosphere. Just give us some dark corridor and cramped confined spaces to fight enemies in. That's what makes some of the Resident Evil and Dead Space 1&2 so great. I don't want huge explosions in those games. Give me a tight experience that makes me feel nervous going around every corner and hallway. That's what I love about the games the most.

"Visceral had some cool ideas for Dead Space 4"

EA had other ideas. Ideas that involved lootboxes, season passes, games as service and Star wars.

It would be awesome if Sony went to EA, bought the Dead Space IP, and pursued all the team members of viceral, and offered them a a new home under WWS umbrella with all the backing they need, and then gave them the DECIMA engine and had them recreated Dead Space 3 the way it was originally intended, for PS4! Have Blue Point Remake Dead Space 1 and 2 for PS4 the very same way the remade Shadow of the Colossus, get Supermassive Games to remake Dead Space; Extinction for PS:VR.

Then have The Viceral under WWS create Dead Space 4 for Next Gen PS5 as a launch title.

This seriously is an IP worth diving into, and with Sony's penchant for high quality single player IP, Viceral and Dead Space just feels like a perfect fit and it would add to an impressive genre that Sony can lean I to, and it would also empower Viceral to grow and create new IPs

Would love to see a dead space 4 already. Guess it'll never happen though.

Just bought the trilogy from ebay definitely worth playing. 3rd was messed up by EA greed

Even if they make a new one it will be some online GaaS garbage that no one wants. Might as well keep it dead.

Just got a chance to finish Dead Space 3 and it's pretty damn good. The gameplay and level design were on point. The only weakness was some of the story. I don't get why it got blasted. Visceral deserved a chance to make another one.

I'd be happy with Dead Space 1-3 on the ps4. DS3 is good if your playing on the hardest setting with a buddy. We had a blast making insane weapon combos just to scrape by on some sections of the game.

Dead space 1 & 2 are amazing, probably never see dead space 4 thanks to EA.

I absolutely loved dead space 1&2 as for dead space 3 it would be more fun watching turds turn white in the sun than having to play through that again

Oh God. I really, REALLY miss this franchise and the satisfaction of strategic dismemberment and stomping the necromorph bodies like pinatas for desperately needed ammo or supplies, not to mention the incredible level design and puzzles which made you feel like a genius.
The days of EA doing this and Mass Effect. EA don't really make anything notable for me now. I really think that EA should look back at getting this franchise started again if not, I'll be looking for the next spiritual successor.

i hope visceral games will rise again like a phoenix, because i loved dead space, all 3 of them (yes, even the 3rd that i think was actually awesome) and dante's inferno, i desire to see dante's purgatory and dead space 4 **

It would b amazing to have a non-linear DS in which you seek out story bits and have to live it all together, but you go wherever you want to accomplish it.

Wasn’t DS3 the beginning of Micros? Now a once amazing studio and it’s IP ate dead. Thanks EA!

I hope theres a reboot in the near future. Dead Space 1 forever. Loved that game. Always reminded me of of The Suffering. Which is one of my top 5 games. I really do wish to see that franchise make a triumphant return as well.

Thank you EA for killing Dead Space and Visceral now I'll never see DS4. If by some miracle EA pulls DS4 out and made it into a game it wouldn't be the same.

thanks ea

So they wanted to make the game open world with you scavenging abandoned ships. It's sooo irritating that every game how to be open now.

If any game deserves a reboot it's dead space. The movies were great also. I hope they try again, but make sure our boy isaac is still the man in the suit.

Weapon crafting in 3 was a brilliant idea. I've never heard of any complaints about that aspect before.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
