Ian Fisher writes: To mark the return of Shogun Gamer’s Six Months Later feature I’ve decided to take a look at a title that is easily one of the best examples of a game that was designed by committee rather than being left alone to its one devices to evolve naturally as per the desires of the fanbase; Dead Space 3 from Visceral Games and Electronic Arts.
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.
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
The Callisto Protocol

...Lost Planet 3?
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.
Still a complete let down. Visceral sold their soul.
I actually enjoyed it. Loved the setting
I thought Dead Space 3 was a fantastic game. Some stupid instances in the story but, even the writing, overall, was rather good.
I really enjoyed the first half, that's where I found the better moments to take place. Once you get to the frozen planet they start to drag the game to far out. It starts out cool when you crash land on it but the game just keeps going and going.
The very beginning actually felt like Dead Space. But once you hit the frozen planet and they built a game that really warranted co-op, you start to fell more and more let down as the game went on.
Dead Space is easily in my top 5 franchises this gen, but the third just lost a lot of the feeling that made it Dead Space.
