One of EA's top executives says the website VideoGamer fabricated yesterday when they reported that Dead Space 4 was no more.
When it comes to Dead Space, what dies doesn't stay dead for long. Dead Space 3 launched in February 2013 and EA has said nothing since to indicate it's ready to revive the science fiction horror series.
"Ben did note that in order to get the budget down to Hellblade levels, they would have to cut some of the very expensive set pieces the series was known for, in case you were curious what was driving up the budget in the first place."
I think Publisher/Dev should know that it hard to make AAA TPS Survivor-Horror game sold well like Resident Evil.
Seriously,TPS Survivor Horror game it very rare now adays.
I would say the big budget set pieces in the second game are what make it not as good as the small intimate intense settings of the Ishimura from the first. Dead Space 1 >>>>>>>&g t; Dead Space 2
I still felt Dead Space 2 was amazing. I liked that it balanced the set pieces with the intense horror, it was a great pacing too. The first 2 games will always be my fav modern horror game. The 3rd game was your perfect example of EA extorting a fantastic studio and IP only to cancel and condemn it and the people who worked on it after they forced the developers to go the wrong way
Imagine Dead Space 1 without the side characters telling you what to do. Its just Isaac alone and insane in the environment - terrifying prospect.
It alaways seemed like the natural evolution of the series to me.
I really miss dead space especially as resident evil went the more action route this was best survival horror game out there. 3 was borderline garbage but 1&2 were great very disappointed we haven’t gotten a 4 yet. I think this game a new resistance game and Warhawk are what I wish most from PS3 era
Yeah, Resident Evil and The Evil Within are the only big ones I can think of.
That's why I worship Bethesda for giving us a game like The Evil Within and a sequel. I don't take that for granted not one bit. I support it every which way I can :)
That's what they have done instead of Battlefield Hardline, then fk EA happened
Cut the expensive set pieces, give us a small terrifying and deeply intimate horror experience.
Asking EA to make quality is like asking water not to be wet. It won't happen and when the studio is shut down they will issue a press release saying it all our (the fans) fault.
Water isn’t wet, water makes things wet. But I agree with what you are trying to say
A space station, a deserted base, there are so many places where they could still do the small enclosed set piece.
Would any one want Dead Space 4 with how much they f***** up the story and how silly it's become
I mean a moon guys...A GOD DAMN MOON
Then there's the fact Dead Space 3 was just an awful story in general. I'd prefer it if they did a new one and Dead Space 3 was just a nightmare Isaac had
You're on to something. Opening scene, Isaac wakes up in a hospital while DS3 scenes flash on the screen. Says something about a crappy dream and then bam, goes right into DS4...
Oh, and they get rid of the weapons crafting system from DS3.
The weapon crafting system was the worst in this game. Totally unnecessary. Nothing much else bugged me as much in the game except for that.
Because it's shit compared to the first two to put it blunty
If you have something which is a solid 9/10 and you release something that isn't that good while dumbing down the franchise in the later instalment then it's going to come off worse then it is as it's being compared to something better.
Take Resident Evil 5 for example, it was an alright game but it was a shit Resident Evil game. Speaking of that, Dead Space 3 ticked more people off because EA saw the hate Capcom got for that game with them going towards the action route along with co-op yet despite being crowned the "new survival horror franchise" they decided to do the EXACT SAME MISTAKE. It was idiotic and I share no sympathy for them.
Changed the feel too much. 3 felt more like a COD type game as opposed to a survival horror game.
I loved the segment where you are travelling from derelict ship to derelict ship, the setting was very creepy.
"I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets."
because they shoved co-op into a game that wasn't about co-op - and they turned it from more of a survival horror into an action shooter.
I never finished 3. The first two were amazing, and the first one is still one of my favourite games from last gen.
PSU takes a look at the possibility of Dead Space 4 or a Dead Space Trilogy remaster of EA's once popular action adventure sci-fi series.
1000x yes. I still to this day can't stomach playing DS3. They just had to jump on the Co-op wagon, not in my horror game! Let's hope
agreed but if they are not going to make anymore Dead Space games, I would at least want a remaster or rework to bring the first games up to date.
I don't get all this hate for remasters, we're getting so many sequels and new games, does it really matter?
EA is the biggest game developer in the world and it holds huge sport titles under its belt such as FIFA and Madden NFL. What many might not is that EA’s reach extends to horror-action games as well. The best example is certainly the Dead Space franchise.
Visceral Games makes a lot more than just Dead Space. Maybe they want to try something new
I think they should reboot it or wait next gen to release it
Dead Space 3 was still a really good game. No Dead Space 2, nor the original, but still. I felt every release had its own feel to it.
That is true about each game having it's own feel. However, 3 just felt a lot more like a traditional 3rd person shooter with less focus on the horror survival aspect. I think that's why a lot fans disliked 3. Maybe if it were a side story, not Isaac, it could have stood as a good story. If they do make another, I hope the weapon management system is better than the one in part 3.
Hnece why we dislike it, if we wanted to play Gears of War, we would have bought Gears of War.
Agreed. But my beef with Dead Space 3 is different from others apparently. I simply didn't enjoy the RPG aspects of weapon creation. I liked the first two games in where you got a weapon, upgraded it and that was it. Everything else about the game was fine for me.
Kotaku hardly has the right to take the moral high-ground when in comes to making shit up on the fly.
Oh yea like Kotaku has any room to speak on such matters. The article they wrote about FF Versus XIII being cancelled springs to mind.
just down vote this awful site to the point of extinction, already...
This is what I have been saying before, if we feed these troll sites like Kotaku, then expect them to spawn crap sites like VideoGamer who believes there is money on sensationalism. It will only get worse and worse if they are not stopped.
