Dead Space is amazing series, worth the cash.

shivvy244090d ago

I never played the dead space games so I tried the demo and its awesome, gonna pick up 1 and 2 before buying 3

guitarded774090d ago

DO IT!!! I love the series. Play the first Dead Space with the lights off and the sound system on. It's fun.

jimbobwahey4090d ago

Loved the original Dead Space but the new one looks more like Gears of War so they've lost me as a fan. It's the same crap that ruined Resident Evil so I've no interest in supporting the death of another great franchise.

Minato-Namikaze4090d ago

but its not. The demo and what they showed doesnt really represent the whole game

dgonza404090d ago

^ that's what a demo is supposed to do, represent as much of the game as possible.

"It's the same crap that ruined Resident Evil so I've no interest in supporting the death of another great franchise."

Someone understand and gets it

Seriously if the same thing happened to another horror franchise then use your common sense and have a guess what will happen to Dead Space

badz1494090d ago

it's just natural because there were millions more consoles sold since DS2 was released and many people are curious about the changes DS3 is bringing to the table. doesn't mean sales will double too!

Timesplitter144090d ago (Edited 4090d ago )

I think the game will be good but it just won't be a horror game.

It'll be like RE5, which I enjoyed immensely. It felt more like a cheesy badass next-gen Contra game than a Resident Evil game, but it was good. I had a blast playing it with my friend and beating the game twice in one (very long) sitting.

I'm not the kind to dislike apples because they're not oranges. If the game is different from the past titles, it doesn't mean it will be bad. I approached DMC with that same mindset but it turns out the game was awful in my opinion. Not because dante had black hair, but for a whole lot of other reasons that made the game uninteresting. People should just judge games for what they are. The title that is slapped on it is not important.

miidylan4090d ago

maybe cause people are playing it coop.

ba-dum-tsss

Really though, the amount of people playing the demo is not completely relevant. It's largely based on the success of the PAST games, and on curiosity.

It's only once they've downloaded it and played it that they form an opinion on it

admiralvic4090d ago

You can look at it a lot of ways. I think a BIG reason for the bump is due to the changes. SH fans want to see how different it REALLY is and action fans want to see how different it REALLY is. If this is indeed true, then I would say that is quite troubling news... it would imply that a LOT are unsure of Dead Space 3 and this could largely impact sales.

tigertron4090d ago

Thing is though, the amount of people playing the demo doesn't equate to game sales.

I've played loads of demos in the past, but I haven't bought every game.

It is a positive sign however, but I just hope Visceral/EA stays grounded and appreciates its core fan base.

JP13694090d ago

This is bad news for anyone involved with the game, as the demo was awful. Complete lack of tension and the action is standard fare. Loved the first two, but doubt this will even get a rent.

StrawberryDiesel4204090d ago

stop exaggerating, the gameplay feels very similar to Dead Space 2.

JP13694089d ago

Which was never a contender in the shooter category. It worked in past games because the nature of it added to the tension, which is now gone due to the environment and level design. The mummified necromorphs aren't especially terrifying and I can't imagine facing foes that are armed with weapons themselves will do anything for the horror.
The series has become more action oriented but it doesn't have the mechanics to make that an enjoyable experience.
Next time, either ask me for clarification about the specifics of my statement before making stupid comments, just shut your mouth altogether while you work on your reading comprehension.

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.

myfathersbastard405d 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.

jznrpg405d 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.

Ninver405d 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."
