What Dead Space 3 needs to help revive the horror genre

PSU writes: "Publishing powerhouse Electronic Arts this week officially confirmed Dead Space 3 is in the works following months of rumors, with the game due to infest store shelves by March 2013 at the latest. Details are being kept under wraps at present, though that hasn’t stopped numerous Internet sources from leaking info all over the shop, the most prolific of which involves the game’s alleged setting – a frozen planet known as Tau Volantis."

Dead Space Already Redefined Horror.

Dead space is a perfect Blend of action and Horror:D

Hisiru4361d ago

Dead Space ONE already did that and episode 2 just improved the series.

What a silly website! Dead Space has been one of the only games this gen that has managed to be scary and capture the horror feel.

Why revive something thats not dead in the series? This question must be put forward to Crapcom and the Resi series not the Peeps behind Dead Space!

Amnesia: The Dark Descent....people should play that game if they wanna experience a pure horror title at its finest....Dead Space 2 is more of an action game with some horror moments..believe 3 will just expand on action and replace what's left of the horror elements..That PSN game Siren is more horror than Dead Space....

Amnesia: machine for pigs coming this Halloween....

I loved Amnesia, can't wait for the next.

There is no way a game like dead space will take the horror crown from the original resident evil games.
In my opinion right now nobody has the crown any more it's just lying there in the corner of the field waiting to be grabbed.
I think Shinji Mikami might just pick it back up with his new game that is codenamed Zwei.

The RE series lost the horror crown to Silent Hill a long time ago, then Silent Hill lost it to Dead Space.

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.

myfathersbastard407d 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.

jznrpg406d 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.

Ninver406d 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.
