With the ps4 and xone graphics , it will be awesome , the atmosphere and lightings in the series are top notch , i cant imagine how beautiful it would , come on papoutsis make it already :)

XBLSkull3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

First one was my favorite game of last gen, hope it doesn't go half-assed cross gen

while I don't think it was as good as bioshock, the setting for me was what made it better for me. These were the two games that I thought had the best atmosphere and really made me feel like I was in the game, nothing else last Gen did though there were a ton of great games.

Army_of_Darkness3530d ago

Dead space 1-2 easily is better than bioshock in every way too Me...
I think when you factor in all these horror games coming out being less action oriented, I would assume EA will follow suit and at least make DS4 similar to the first one, which would be great!

joab7773530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

I agree. Hopefully they go back to their roots and push it further in the survival horror direction.

I wouldnt be against a reboot in this situation. And no offense but Visceral didn't decide and come up with the idea to make a Battlefield game. It was thrust on them by EA, and it's a shame.

Blasphemy3530d ago

i thought EA said they were done with the franchise after how poorly ds3 performed?

smashman983530d ago

lol they never said that

Gazondaily3532d ago

I hope this isn't a cross-gen title.

Sir_Simba3530d ago

EA wants that money, Hardline shouldve moved on but it didnt and now look at it.

k3rn3ll3530d ago

Considering this game would be at least 2 years out I don't think it would be. This article is kinda ridiculous to that point. Of course the next dead space game will be the first on new gen consoles. There's no possible way for it not to be. They aren't going to release one 2+ years from now and have it be ps3 and 360 only

Volkama3530d ago

It's "likely" to be the first one on next gen.

Which means they are still open to the idea of releasing remasters of any or all of the first 3 games ;)

maniacmayhem3530d ago

God...I hope it's a return to what made part one so fantastic. This is a classic example of how a franchise could be steered so wrong and so quickly due to popularity and big business greed.

It went from a survival horror to a co-op shooter with just three entries.

Benjammin253530d ago

Dead Space 1 is a masterpiece. 2 was good but steered a bit too much towards action. 3 is one of my most hated games from last gen. Hope 4 gets things back on track.

incendy353530d ago

I could never get into this series. I tried.

thorstein3530d ago

Next Gen though?

Well, maybe they can make another game for this gen. I really don't want to wait 6-8 years for another Dead Space game.

joab7773530d ago

Of course it's gonna b next gen. U think Dead Space 4 coming in 2016 will be for the ps3? Some titles should b different.

mixelon3530d ago

I see what you did there..

I think? XD

thorstein3530d ago

Yes you did, joab, however, did not.

Visceral had some cool ideas for Dead Space 4

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.

SCW19822104d ago

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

Sevir2104d ago

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

Concertoine2104d ago

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.

sonarus2103d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya2103d ago (Edited 2103d ago )

Yeah, Resident Evil and The Evil Within are the only big ones I can think of.

Plagasx2103d ago

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 :)

AspiringProGenji2104d ago

That's what they have done instead of Battlefield Hardline, then fk EA happened

annoyedgamer2104d ago

RIP Visceral. Also RIP Danger Close games

Majin-vegeta2104d ago

Danger close is actually now DICE L.A.So technically they're still open

SCW19822104d ago

Cut the expensive set pieces, give us a small terrifying and deeply intimate horror experience.

annoyedgamer2104d ago

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.

sle7enn2103d ago

Water isn’t wet, water makes things wet. But I agree with what you are trying to say

FinalFantasyFanatic2103d ago

A space station, a deserted base, there are so many places where they could still do the small enclosed set piece.

-Foxtrot2104d ago

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

gantarat2104d ago

I really hate love triangle story.

Fist4achin2104d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya2103d ago (Edited 2103d ago )

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.

Bobafret2103d ago

I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets.

-Foxtrot2103d ago (Edited 2103d ago )

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.

Fist4achin2103d ago

Changed the feel too much. 3 felt more like a COD type game as opposed to a survival horror game.

gantarat2103d ago

It not a bad game by any mean but it not people want from dead dpace game.

Bobafret2103d ago

I loved the segment where you are travelling from derelict ship to derelict ship, the setting was very creepy.

ziggurcat2103d ago

"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.

NapalmSanctuary2103d ago

I like it when -Foxtrot gets blunty.

Is now the time for Dead Space 4 or Dead Space Trilogy Remastered?

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.

FTLmaster2497d ago

There's a Dead Space shaped hole in my heart... I'd be all over more Dead Space.

Krangs_Uncle2497d ago

Dead Space 4 which is like DS1 please.

edeprez2496d ago

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

darthv722497d ago

A new dead space would be welcomed.

monkey6022497d ago

No more Remasters! New content please

DevilishSix2497d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic2496d ago

I don't get all this hate for remasters, we're getting so many sequels and new games, does it really matter?

Einhander19712497d ago

Agreed more DS1 what an amazing game.

Dead Space 4 Will it Ever See the Light of Day? - Droidhere

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

2587d ago
zaherdab2587d ago

EA is the biggest development company in the world ? isn't that Activation ?

ShadowKnight2587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

I think they should reboot it or wait next gen to release it

Perjoss2587d ago

Hopefully its more like 1 and less like 3

MadLad2587d ago

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.

Fist4achin2587d ago

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.

annoyedgamer2587d ago

Hnece why we dislike it, if we wanted to play Gears of War, we would have bought Gears of War.

Yui_Suzumiya2586d ago

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.

JBlaze2262587d ago

We need a dead space 4, going back to formula of the original
