Dead Space 3: 5 Ways To Improve The Sequel

"Dead Space 3 has been a bit of hit and miss with gamers. While it does maintain some identity in relation to the old games, steadily the Dead Space series has been moving away from its initial survival horror roots" | Explosion.com

Think the new one got canned, read it somewhere around here

DeltaCanuckian4050d ago

Nope, EA said that was false within hours of the original story. No company is going to come out and say something is 100% false as adamantly as they did unless they mean it.

yeahokchief4050d ago

EA pretty much wanted to pull the plug on it I think.

Anything that doesn't pull CoD numbers is a waste of money in their minds.

Less shooting, less amo, absolutely no weapon customization. Less monsters more scares.

Alos884050d ago

The weapon customization was ok, I don't think that in itself made the game less scary imo, agree with everything else though.

MEsoJD4050d ago

I liked the weapon customization. The franchise was never scary to me so I would take more choice, suit customization, and even more diverse enemies. Personally the sci-fi tech in the game is what always interested me the most.

This is the last one, There was going to make another but due to poor sales EA has cancelled development on the 4th instalment.

DeltaCanuckian4050d ago (Edited 4050d ago )

EA already said that was a load of crap. Not just that, the game sold over 600k copies in it's first month. Those are not bad sales, especially since sales in the gaming industry are down across the board.

joab7774050d ago

Reboot...lol. Try making this one scary like the first one. Love the no HUD etc. for immersion when u r playing a survival horror game. I hope they got the hint that they destroyed a marvelous IP...its sad too.

Roper3164050d ago

well if EA had left it alone instead or turning into another cover shooter with a forced AI partner I am sure it would have sold better. Heck I would have bought it if they had left the original DS formula alone.

DeltaCanuckian4050d ago

There's no forced AI partner. If you play it solo, you're alone, Carver barely appears.

Roper3164050d ago

well they didn't express that very well, all I saw was RE5 in space from all the previews / videos prior to launch.

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.

myfathersbastard409d 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.

jznrpg409d 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.

Ninver409d 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."

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.
