The Dead Space franchise opened with a wildly successful first installment that spawned an animated film, an acclaimed sequel, and now, a third game
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.
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

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.
Just finished it. Only con is a weak ending and less horror overall.
I dislike it when they lock me in a room and unleash a bunch of monsters on me. Its an endurance test and a cheap way to lengthen the game.
I don't know why but DS3 is kinda boring, i didn't get that scary fun suspenseful feeling like i did with the last two. Also what really disappointed me was that suits serve no purpose but to change the way your character looks -__-
Bought it yesterday and right now on chap 6 (SP). I think it's good in the same level with DS1 & 2. This came from guy (me) that felt EA will ruin DS3 with universal ammo and co-op. Well, some scary tricks (monsters break from the ceiling, trap in the room full of monsters, etc) are not as scary as DS1 / 2. But that's not DS3 flaw, it's the player who already had those experiences in DS1 / 2. Just like Isaac that sound more confident when fighting necromorphs. He more like a guru for Norton, Carver, Ellie, and others. Nonetheless this game still good, even better than RE 6 (imo).
That's what other gamers are saying. They toned down the horror effect in order to target a broader audience but it backfired and ended up being hated by fans of the franchise.
