A tag team of Stevivor staffers — super hardcore fan Steve Wright and normal, well-adjusted gamer Nicholas Simonovski — sat down last week to discuss Visceral Games’ upcoming Dead Space 3 with producer John Calhoun.
In this interview, John addresses criticisms that the game has become less scary to appeal to more gamers, discusses how drop-in, drop-out co-op has brought some challenges to the game’s development and speaks at length about how Visceral is expanding the Dead Space universe and how that means changing up the game in turn.
Oh, and John also lets you in on a little secret: your best friend in the game won’t be Ellie OR your new co-op partner, John Carver.
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.
Gotta wonder why Starcraft: Ghost literally became a ghost.
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."
