Dead Space 3 is about fear of turning corners...and being a total badass (Gadget Review)

James Pikover from Gadget Review: Dead Space is one of the few truly good horror games of this console generation. Developer Visceral Games just gets the genre. To up the ante with Dead Space 3 the Montreal-based developer isn’t just relying on the new cooperative gameplay revealed at E3; everything is being overhauled.

Fear of finding more casual TPS moments behind every corner. Truly frightening.

zeeshan4210d ago

I am not a big fan of what I have heard so far but I believe it'll still be better than Resident Evil 5/6.

The first Deadspace game was simply awesome. The game that RE should have been.

jamezrp4210d ago

I haven't played RE6 yet, but Dead Space 3 is definitely looking better than RE5. When I played, it was actually scary, not just shock frights. I don't think RE6 was ever meant to be psychological horror, but more gross horror, so I'd definitely root for DS3.

AntoineDcoolette4210d ago

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that the title says "review" yet. Like zomg the author has a time machine.

NukaCola4210d ago

Website is called Gadget Review. This isn't actually a review game.

Enate4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Actually I feel that way when I play Dead Space which is why I actually like it. If I am good enough even on the hardest difficulty I always felt like I could deal with the situation which I like. Whether or not you are scared or something changes from person to person.

Thatguy-3104210d ago

Fear and badass can't be used in the same sentence. Hopefully they stick to the roots. I'll judge this game once it gets release. So far not really feeling it though.

IIC0mPLeXII4210d ago

Completely Coop the whole time......horrifying.

HellzAssassin4210d ago

You can remove the AI character and still play the game entirely yourself. Just sayin'...

IIC0mPLeXII4210d ago

Having an AI companion option at all is completely in the wrong direction for this franchise. Mass appeal FTW again, and EA tanks another great potentiality.

jamezrp4210d ago

@IIC0mPLeXII I disagree with you there, at least for online coop. In the same room, yeah, you don't get that same "fright" feeling, the general eerieness of the game. But if you're playing alone in a room, unless your partner or you won't stop babbling about whatever dumb thing happened to them that day, it can get even scarier. We used to do it in Doom 3, which had so many random things hiding in dark corners that 50% of the game was "OH SH- KILL IT KILL IT!"

Wouldn't have been nearly as fun alone. That support, be it with firing bullets, emotional, or just knowing you're in it with someone else, makes the whole experience stronger.

Baka-akaB4210d ago

He still can have grounds to worry imo . It's not certain the game is properly designed for single player as well as co-op , and it does look way more action so far than past titles .

IIC0mPLeXII4210d ago

Yeah, you are fighting human opponents now, as well as universal ammunition. I beat Dead Space 2 on Hardcore and it was one of my most proudest accomplishments in gaming. This new iteration with its terrible ideas shits all over that.

Parappa4210d ago

I can't have fear of turning corners because I will be too busy being a badass as I take cover and spray & pray at a bunch of enemies. It's not a horror game anymore so why should I have anything to fear?

jamezrp4210d ago

You'll be afraid. But then you'll see Isaac Clarke on screen being a badass and steel yourself against the onslaught of Necromorphs. And you'll be a man, with hair on his chest, a beard to your nipples, and an axe on both shoulders.

nofallouthero4210d ago

i dont think you can really have both at the same time being strong and being weak they just don't mix

Catoplepas4210d ago

You're right. It's an oxymoron.

Fear stems from vulnerability. If you have Gatling Guns for eyes, and B52 bombers for arms what's to fear?

StrawberryDiesel4204210d ago

I see a lot of hate for this game. The same was said about Dead Space 2, how it would be less survival horror and more third person shooter. The Devs proved everyone wrong and that game turned out great. That being said, I know DS2 didn't have the coop but I think it will be implemented well enough in DS3 and the game will still have a lot of thrills and scares.

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.

myfathersbastard415d 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.

jznrpg415d 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.

Ninver415d 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.
