Major gameplay and weapon changes to come as well?
Dead Space 3 will have drop-in, drop-out co-op, according to an IGN source's report. Isaac Clarke will, if players choose, fight alongside a man with a gnarly scar on his face, an engineering RIG of his own, and glowing red eyes peering from his helmet. During single-player, this character acts as Isaac’s guide. Sounds like he’ll need one: IGN’s source detailed a desolate snow planet that sounds an awful lot like the rumored Tau Volantis, with events happening around an unidentified facility.

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.
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.
Co-Op that won't effect the single player mode? Hell yeah!
I'll take co-op over PVP any day anyway!
Atleast if we really want a scare we can play solo. Unlike RE5, where solo wasnt even scary at all. Co op would be awesome in this!
Sounds good to me. I wish Dead Space 2 would have had a co-op survival mode instead of the multiplayer that it had. Kudos to those who liked it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea and it felt forced. I played it a handful of times and just didn't want to come back for more. A "horde" mode on the other hand would be a fun multiplayer component to compliment the spectacular single player experience.
I also feel like EA are going to target a Q1 2013 release for this. Can't wait to see DS3 stuff at E3!
Optional or not....co-op doesn't belong in a horror game
Jeez....did they not see the kafuffle that went on with RE5
I wouldn't mind if someome like Ellie was with you but only if you spilt up alot and could play her in a few chapters...maybe without armor like issac she could be more vulnerable, giving her levels more of a challenge
I believe it. There was a "leak" months ago that talked about him being on a frozen planet.
