Dead Space is a name synonymous with bumps in the dark, monster dismemberment and sating our thirst for a decent Aliens game while we wait the endless wait for Colonial Marines. After two relatively successful releases the series is back this year for another round, inducting it into the Trilogy Club that counts Mass Effect, Fable, Assassins Creed and Saints Row among its recent inductees.
Seemingly making a departure from the shit-scary corridors of a spaceship, this limited release demo sees unfortunate engineer Isaac Clarke dealt another bad hand after his ship crash-lands on a freezing planet. The big question is, can Visceral Games retain the tension and fear the series is famous for in these large, open-air environments?
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.
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.
