Dead Space 3 – What EA should do

Xbigy Games Writes: I'm quite a big fan of the survival-horror genre. So when I heard the 'news' that Dead Space 3 was coming I was pretty excited, but also slightly weary. I loved the first game in the series, it was actually scary and when I was playing it I got a sense of the chills that no other game had given me for a good while. With Dead Space 2 that changed, while enemies such as the Twitcher created scares, the game just did not have the same sense of atmosphere as its predecessor. The game was great, don't get me wrong, but it tried to tick too many boxes, constantly creating 'blockbuster' moments instead of concentrating on what should be at the heart of a Dead Space game - horror. So here is our list of things that should be done for EA's latest outing with Isaac.

make it more like dead space 1, dead space 2 was too action orientated.

wallis5141d ago (Edited 5141d ago )

Yeah I agree.

Also it's generally important to let players know the end goal of game play. You play dead space and the entire game can be summed up with "GTFO that ship and maybe save your girl friend". It's simple, effective and contributes to the idea of feeling "trapped".

But dead space 2? Where did the necromorphs come from, why is there a half arsed villain put together from the remains of the usual angry black guy stereotype, why am I going to the marker to psychic it away, why did they just all disappear, why am I on a train... that's exploding, why is any of this happening, why am I here, and what the fuck is going on?

Dead space I could tell you where they came from, why they're there, why the main character is doing what he's doing and why it's important he does it. Dead space 2 just has some person tell you where to go and you go there in the hope you'll be told why soon. Then when that person dies or gets hurt or whatever they replace them with another person in your top left screen who tells you where to go.

Sloppy story telling. The story is presented fantastically, it's just that as a story if you tried reading dead space 2's plot out loud it would sound like the ramblings of a thirteen year old boy who watched akira, aliens, evil dead and predator in one sleep deprived session.

One of my favorite game series of all time. I still play DS1 when I need a good organic shock to my heart ;)

Not release the games actual ending in an extended cut DLC 4 months after its release date.

I still find it funny looking back on DS2 the only times i ever got the clammy hands scared to explore fealing was when i went back on the isimura.

Rhezin5141d ago

wow, well i thought BOTH games were entertaining/fun/creepy/fright ening. I love the series and the lore that goes along with it. I know the third is just going to improve on that already-proven, stellar formula.

Why Dead Space 3 Will Be the Hardest to Remake

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.

myfathersbastard1170d ago

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.

jznrpg1170d ago

Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.

Ninver1170d ago

It's the worst in the series.

Dead Space 3, A Ten Year Reunion

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."

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.
