With the recent influx of information portraying Dead Space 3 as an action shooter, and sites writing sensationalist headlines for hits, I figured I'd do a quick preview of the game just to show you the scares aren't going anywhere in Dead Space 3. It has become a major issue these days, where people judge a game before they even play it.
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.
The problem is that it has completely segregated it's initial audience. It entered the market as a completely original approach to the survival horror genre, it was a fresh of breath air and now it's become a generic action game under the banner of the originals name.
Dead Space 1 is a great/amazing survival horror game, Dead Space 2 is so-so action game that I couldn't even bring myself to finish.
I won't be purchasing DS3.
The problem is a lot of "gamers" like to complain about nothing, because they think it makes them look more intelligent.
We're still in the Generation of the Entitled Whiner. I don't remember gamers being like this in any other generation, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Perhaps the disgruntled few seem to be a larger group because of the sorry state of gaming "journalism".
Many games should stop at the first release because the first releases are the best, the rest is milking.
I've just completed Dead Space for the 3rd time, and it's still as awesome now as it was when it was first released. Just started playing though the second game, again, and while it is still a great game it is somewhat less scary than the first. You can see the way it went in the board room, the need for more action and set pieces to appeal to a wider audience.
I'm still hyped for Dead Space 3, but I can't help feeling that they've lost the core reason for what made us love the series in the first place. The first game is like playing through a combination of the Aliens films and films like Event Horizon, but that feeling gets a bit diluted as you play through the second.
EA have said themselves that they want it to sell more to a wider audience, and what company wouldn't. I'm keeping an open mind, I haven't seen all that the game offers yet and I'm probably still going to buy it. But for the first time with the series I'm going to take a wait and see approach, unlike the first games which I bought day one.
