GameZone's Mike Splechta writes, "owadays everything seems to be free*. Though, you might think "what's wrong with free?" There is absolutely no barrier for me to play any of these games right now. The problem lies with that little asterisk. You see free-to-play, or more appropriately freemium games don't require you to invest anything to try it out, but after a short while will become either impossible to play without spending money, or downright boring and awful until spending money makes it fun. So what is this new fad of making everything free? Simple, money."
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 have literally never paid a dime for any progress I could unlock by simply playing a game.
So I know I ain't part of that BS.
I see the tendencies too, and I'm a bit worried also. However, right now I'm still confident this model, which is cancer to gaming, will not become too popular.
The day Pay 2 Win aka "Free to Play" will truly take over gaming, will be my last day as a gamer. And I'm a gamer for 16 years now.
Pay-to-Win kinda reminds me of the great time I had playing Dungeons and Dragons (and many other tabletop RPGs) back in the 80's and 90's. It wasn't called Pay-to-Win back then though. It was called 'let's bribe the dungeonmaster with some beer, pretzels and pizza!'.
I have to admit... when I bought Skate 3, all I wanted to do is skate. I didn't care about the story. It's just an open world skating game to me. So yeah, I bought the DLC that unlocks everything in the game. I wouldn't have unlocked it otherwise.
Although I would never use money to buy success, I can understand the people who would.
Some people aren't good at games and just need a helping hand which money bought weapons, armour, etc., can provide, and then there are some people who just want to skip the bread knife and head straight to the rocket launchers so to speak, which in normal gameplay could take hours to unlock.
If anything, I don't believe developers should be charging to unlock the content within a game which a customer has already bought. And the ability to unlock a game's full content should be available to who ever wanted it, which reminds me.. what ever happened to games having cheat codes which essentially did all of this? ^^
