"Dead Space 2 managed to increase both the horror and action in perfect ratios" Huh? i know this person is trying to argue for the core, but to say that dead space 2 actually increased in horror is beyond far-fetched. if anything DS2 actually decreased in horror and increased in action. if you think otherwise then you obviously haven't played neither 1 or 2.

floetry1014290d ago

The exact problem I have with the game. Dead Space 2 wasn't a bad game by any means, but the scare factor is decidedly less inspiring.

There doesn't seem to be a way to market a horror game successfully any more. The best horror titles have been dwindling for years, whether it be poor sales numbers (Silent Hill) or an action orientated gore-fest (Resident Evil, Dead Space). It's a vicious cycle.

InTheLab4290d ago

You're right but there was still plenty of horror or at least, attempts at horror.

the dead kids in the residential area
those creepy dudes that peak around corners
the trip back to the Ishimura

There's more action but at least they tried to balance it.

DeadSpaced4290d ago

Not to mention the Church level. And when you see and argue with your dead girlfriend, that was freaky. But I feel like they could have made the environment.

I'll always remember going through the apartments while you hear crowds scream in terror. I wish they would have explored that a little more.

The developers even said that the test audience for DS1 said it was too tense, and never let up on the stressfulness. In an interview in Game Informer just before DS2 came out they said that they gave the game "breathing room" and made it less about horror and more about pacing it. Obviously they didn't do their research. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just uninformed. Personally I loved the relentless stress levels of DS1 to be a good thing. Unfortunately most people have a different opinion of horror.

I stopped after reading the line "I don't know her but she doesn't strike me as the gaming type"

If you don't know someone and have not done any research into who she is why make wild assumptions about her?

Robotronfiend4290d ago

They don't care about the individual type of fan. IF they lost every single fan of the series from DS1 and DS2, but they drew in twice as many action game fans they would be happy. If they don't plan to go further with the franchise i'm sure the idea is to get as much cash from this one as possible.

FarCryLover1824290d ago

All I know is, is that the Dead Space 2 "your mother plays and is scared" (or whatever they said), was AWFUL. Sounded like they were advertising for little children.

Wingsfan244290d ago

What are you talking about, just about every woman on that marketing project was an older lady who more than likely has grandchildren by now. The games rated M for a reason. If they had used younger moms you'd be correct.

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.

myfathersbastard408d 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.

jznrpg408d 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.

Ninver408d 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.
