DLC, free-to-play games, and microtransactions should be good things, but too often they go horribly wrong.
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.
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.
I agree and this is the work of EA! I only buy dlc for games after I've beaten them and feel that I've had the complete experience.
DLC i have no problems with (for the most part... unless it's just a 100kb file to unlock content already on the disc), but free-to-play has always seemed like a red herring to me because you pretty much have to pay if you want to play the full game.
It annoys me how EA will find any way possible to stick DLC into there games whether it benefits the game or not.
You just know the first thing they spoke about when making Dead Space 3 was how can we include DLC and we need co op in this game to sell more.
DLC would work a lot better if the game was not released yearly. Getting a sequel every 3-4 years will benefit dlc content. Is like with pc gaming, the sequels do not get released often due to dlc and updates i.e. counter strike, diablo 3, etc. The rest (free to play and microtransactions) were well explained in this article.
