GR: Fans should be thankful, though, that Visceral Games and Electronic Arts aren't satisfied revisiting the same ground they've tread in two previous games. Dead Space 3 looks to new locales, new gameplay mechanics, and new cooperative modes to keep the formula from growing stale. Still, you'd be forgiven for worrying that maybe Isaac Clarke and company have bitten off more "new" features than they can chew. Perhaps Tau Volantis's fresh terrain proves too frigid to handle.
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.
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.
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.

...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.
Looks great. Never been a HUGE fan of the series, so I don't know if 3 will sway me.
"Multiple playthroughs are rewarded in force with alternative modes and unlocks. In particular, my time in Pure Survival mode (where all ammo, health, stasis, etc. is crafted, not found) made for a viciously challenging experience."
... :D
Great review! I largely agree with everything said! Great comment saying that there are a few aspects you wouldn't mind dismembering, but overall it's well equipped.
Really enjoyed Dead Space 2 so I can't wait to check this one out.
Anyone else excited to see what curse words work on Kinect?
