From the article, "You’ve just started playing a game. You’re enjoying the multiplayer. Then you realize it’s offering to sell you the resources to get the best items in the game immediately, instead of working for them. Or maybe you’ve just started up your new simulation and are dismayed that you only get a small plot of land and can play online. Perhaps you’re in the midst of an awesome game, but you’ve run out of energy and can’t keep going unless you wait or open your wallet. You aren’t playing Mafia Wars, CityVille, YoVille or FarmVille, you’re playing Dead Space 3, SimCity or Real Racing 3. Slowly, but surely, EA is turning into Zynga."
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

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.
Stop buying EA games. Seriously. There is no benefit of owning an EA game on Origin. No achievements, no integration or anything else.
I only purchase games which have advantages over the pirated version, not disadvantages.
I don't see a problem with Dead Space 3 in the fact that you can buy resources if you want to. The game doesn't 'advertise' this to you. What I find annoying are the three bot upgrades that they are trying to sell to you that should have been included in the game with a normal upgrade path. They want you to pay 400 points to increase the 'amount' the bots can harvest/carry, which would be a trivial code change of a few moment's work and not something worth 400 points whatsoever. Those bot upgrades really piss me off.
Zynga itself is a huge disgrace to the gaming industry. This greed centric business model is what is killing EA and others alike.
Applying Zynga business model to anything is death to that business, not to mention the pathetic quality of zynga games and their shameless and constant hunger for microtransactions to rip you off.
