ZG writes: While Dead Space 3 has left behind some of the magic that gave the series its iconic status, it’s still a very good game indeed. High-quality production values and most of the elements that made the series so great are still there, but it’s a little more action that horror, and a little less “Dead Space.”
The original seemed a little darker, more claustrophobic and it had a way of using a single Necromorph to get your pulse racing, very suited to the singleplayer. This is a bolder production, and this one achieves the tense situations mainly by throwing hordes of Necromorphs at you now, complimenting the co-operative experience a little more. Despite not finding all of what I hoped for, the end result was still the same – an extremely satisfying experience, and I have no doubt that it with remain one of the better games I play this year.
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

...uhm...

...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.
