OXCGN:
"EA and developer Visceral Games have taken the Dead Space franchise in a new direction, incorporating more of an ‘action-shooter’ feel, like many games have over recent years.
The changes made to the third instalment in the series have produced mixed feelings from fans of the series.
Some feel the increased focus on action, along with the addition of co-op, is a natural progression of the series, while others feel it strays too far from the series’ roots.
It can be said while most of the changes do in fact enhance the overall gameplay, these same changes ultimately affect the core of what Dead Space 1 and 2 were: horror games."
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.

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.
Sounds pretty positive for all that whinging
Action isn't always a bad thing. A mix can be good.
This is a good game, people are just being children.
Seriously if you are a fan of the series go buy this, the action & human elements feel well placed.
So far I like it better than both 1&2. I love the weapon crafting and the new roll move. I don't bother with co op but having the OPTION to do so is not a bad thing. I also love the side missions which I'm pretty sure DS 1&2 didn't have. For me DS3 is the best one yet
