EA never called Dead Space “too scary,” but the misleading headlines are the story of the day

The story is going around like wild fire this morning: EA focused-tested Dead Space, and it was too scary! They have to fix this to reach a bigger audience! The easy headline about the game being “too scary” and that’s why co-op was added is being repeated by any number of video game blogs, and fans are upset that what they loved about the Dead Space series is being taken away. it’s a valid complaint about a series that is supposed to be based on horror.

lol, internets wrong again.

Also said, that's why they added co-op, but earlier this week they said co-op was supposed to be in the first game. That made me question everything I was reading about it. Now it makes sense.

alot of fabricated headlines and articlesare produced here at N4G.

Dead Space never needed Co-op. It's a nice addition but not in a game like DS.

Blacktric4295d ago (Edited 4295d ago )

I don't think that's the thing that makes fans angry actually. It's everything else they are shoving down our throats in the name of streamlining it and making it more accessible. Co-Op is completely optional and you can still play the game just as Isaac without any forced co-op character helping you (AI or player controlled). So it won't be like Resident Evil 5 on that front. But everything else; from dumbed down survival elements like universal ammo to constantly occuring and immersion breaking quick time events (at least 4 of them in a 20 minute demo), makes the game look horrible in comparison to earlier Dead Space games.

Yes it's optional but DS just does not need Co-op and they are basically goin against their original fanbase by tryin to turn DS into some action shooter.

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.

myfathersbastard412d 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.

jznrpg412d 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.

Ninver412d 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."
