Visceral Games keen on continuing Dead Space “at a later date”

GCO: "In a recent interview with play.de, Visceral Games general manager Steve Papoutsis talked about the future of the Dead Space franchise."

"Right now we’re currently busy with Hardline and other stuff"

You mean Hardline and Star Wars. Guess that means we wont be seeing Dead Space 4 until late 2017.

If Dead Space 4 is anything like Dead Space 3, they can keep it.

[DarkOcelet]

I am pretty sure they learned their lesson. Dead Space 4 should go back to its root again. While Dead Space 3 weapon crafting was genius, the hordes of enemies and the less scary elements bogged the game down a bit. It felt like it was designed as a co-op game.

Hopefully in the next game Isaac is alone in his adventure.

[Roccetarius]

I hope they make it more like Dead Space 1, while they find different ways for enemies to spawn and attack you. It was too predictable to see where enemies would appear mid game, because you counted the ventilations each time.

Dead Space 3 was pretty much designed as a co-op microtransaction game. If the crafting system wasn't made with cash-in idea in mind, then maybe it would've been something better.

Unfortunately, thanks to EA, Visceral is forced to add a online mode to the game if they make a DS4.

Even then they ruined the story with the third game

Reboot time EA

DS3 was amazing.. what did you think was wrong with it? It's a great action game.

@-Foxtrot:
story? what story does DS have anyway? it's all about gameplay.

[hiredhelp]

No DICE handing Star wars.?
On topic Please do make another DS despite the critics Ive enjoyed them all and grown few more grey hairs.

[Benoski]

DICE is just one studio working on a Star Wars game.

Visceral is working on one too, and so is BioWare.

[hiredhelp]

Thx for that correction wow 3 star wars

[wakeNbake]

Pretty excited for hardline, that hit detection OH LAWD.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Oh man I can't wait to see a current gen Dead Space. Dead Space 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. Please make it more like DS 2 and not 3 I don't want co op at all this time.

[weirdo]

Deadspace 2 was fantastic! 3 was vile.

[Roccetarius]

Dead Space 2 only had one terrifying part in the game, and that was only if you played the first game beforehand. Other than that it was a good action game.

[gamerfan0909]

Still better than the Order 1886.

[deadpoolio316]

Dead Space 3 was far from vile, and wasn't that different than Dead Space 2...Must have forgotten about those quick time event boss fights, ammo everywhere and focus on action that was in Dead Space 2.....

And IF you want to cry about microtransactions, I beat the game by myself 4 times crafting everything without ever once having to purchase part packs, so yeah people that want to cry about those just want to cry

[tigertron]

I enjoyed DS3. No, it wasn't as good as 1 and 2, but it had a great weapon creation feature and the co-op worked really well.

[Gore-Content]

Awesome. But please, go back to horror yea?

[spacewarrior1]

Dead Space HD remaster. you heard it here folks.

[ajax17]

Hopefully they'll make a return to actual survival horror.

[deadpoolio316]

when was it EVER survival horror....Protip.....It wasn't....

[JasonKCK]

Dead Space ended up being my favorite franchise the last console cycle before I upgraded to PC. Played the first Dead Space 14 times, Dead Space 2, 9 times, and Dead Space 3 6 times.
