Dead Space 3: The Most Terrifying Entry Yet...And Not In A Good Way

Play-Mag writes: As E3 conferences go, EA’s wasn’t as bad as Microsoft’s or Nintendo’s. Maybe that was because the last two were as enjoyable as having gasoline poured into your eyes, but hey! EA had Dead Space 3.

Which should have been something to celebrate, but instead it gave us The Fear. Because instead of seeing more of what we love, instead we got some Gears Of War co-op shenanigans, complete with combat rolls and cover.

Oh shut up already! The game is going to be awesome!

[h311rais3r]

It's an action co op game now. How about you shut up because they're ruining yet another Good franchise.

[vader1231231]

Well said h3llrais3r.

[CYBERHATER]

What is the big deal about killing humans as well as infected? Especially when the folks you have killed get turned into infected! You but heads are crying for nothing and the game hasn't even came out yet! And you can still play it by yourself already!

[user5467007]

I know right...it's people like him which make developers go down this path because they just think "Oh well they arn't complaining".

If you don't complain now then it would be pointless seeing as if you complain after it releases they will be too busy rolling in your money to care about your opinions

[Hellsvacancy]

I lost interest after the second game, it wasnt as fun as DS1, i knew what to expect in DS2, 3 wont be any better

Its a Dead Series for me, much like Resident Evil

Just my opinion which mean nothing to you!

[Kinect]

it meant a lot to me

[Almir908]

Completely agree. What the hell did they do to Dead space? Jesus first Resident evil and now this? Of course it's crapcom and EA.

[synchroscheme]

Dead Space, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Splinter Cell.

Too many companies wanting to make the transition to action-oriented games. Explosions and gunfights can sell games, sure, but they can also make their product generic as hell.

[rdgneoz3]

Though with Metal Gear, at least they went the way of declaring it non-cannon and a spin off instead of being a true sequel. The others in the list declared the future games in their respective series as true sequels and said that fans wanted it that way or to appeal to a larger market...

[D3mons0ul]

This is terrible but I think some humor can be found in this. Especially if you think of all the people bashing RE6 for not being a "true" survival horror experience. You'd read things like "RE sucks, at least we still have dead space, western devs are so much better" yadayadayada

So you HAD Dead Space to fall back on for your SH experience...what do you have now?

[blahblah346]

Amnesia :)

[theWB27]

Yes...the main character should be the same scared, tensive guy who didn't know what the hell these monsters were on some derelict ship. Who never learned how to take care of himself the more he had to face these things. Its space, space is big, but there shouldn't be anyone else that helps or eventually tags along because these things can only be happening to Isaac. You shouldn't know how to roll Isaac, just back up really slow and hope you can shoot these limbs off in darkness. For the love of all that is sacred, just stay the same Isaac, we all know gamers wouldn't have complained then either.

People are afraid of change, they worry about their favorite games evolving in ways that they don't approve.

Based on the number of people on n4g that complain about COD sucking and its sales numbers I would say Dead Space 3 will be fine. I'll be buying it for sure.

[DeadSpaced]

Me too. Day 1.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

What gamers don't like is UNNECESSARY change, that's all....

[rdgneoz3]

Not really "UNNECESSARY" change, its more like changing exactly what the game was. A survival horror game to what is now an action co-op game...

[Guitardr85]

If anyone from EA reads these kinds of forums, I beg you...Please don't ruin this franchise like you have others! Dead Space 1 was awesome, please bring back the horror!

[InTheLab]

Was excited after reading...

"The most terrifying entry yet"

Then was like FUUUUUUUUU after reading..

"And not in a good way".

Also, gamers are not afraid of change .....for the better. But adding a bunch of waist high walls to go with that "new" cover system, a bunch of necromorphs that pop out every few seconds to use up all that plentiful universal ammo, and a dipshit to hit the switch in one of the "new" co-op puzzles...

Tell me, how is turning Dead Space into Gears of Uncharted Effect a good idea? Oh...broader audience and more sales? Thanks EA and I see you're proudly wearing your "Worst company in the US" badge.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Gears of Space 3... NO THANKS! NEXTTTT!

[rmedtx]

They lost me with the second installment. I will not buy this one. Sounds like it's going to suck.

[Plagasx]

Thank god we have actual scary games like Amnesia because if it wasn't for that, the survival horror genre would be dead.

[Omar91]

this was the most disappointing show case at E3. I was looking forward to DS3 but sadly I =t looks like I will be skipping this entry the more I see about the game

[Kratoscar2008]

After the shit that RE had turned on i had hope in SH thanks to deadSpace and silent hill, until this and Downpour appeared.

[ApolloTheBoss]

Leave it to EA to possibly ruin another great franchise.
