Can We Please Get Another Dead Space Game?

Although EA shut down Visceral Games in 2017, it is still possible for someone to make a new Dead Space game.

It wouldn’t be Dead Space without Visceral

isarai2347d ago

Not only that, i'd hate to see what modern EA does to it when they get their greedy hands in it

bigmalky2345d ago

Battle Royal, survivor mode with micros and cosmetics. Campaign on par with the boring SWBFII snorefest as a tag on to lure fans of the series.

Kornholic2345d ago

Dead Space 3 already happened, man. It was EA'd to death.

annoyedgamer2345d ago (Edited 2345d ago )

If you played Dead Space 3 you got a small taste of it.

PhantomS422345d ago

As if what EA did to Dead Space 3 wasn't bad enough!

Agreed. Visceral couldn’t be visceral under EA either. That’s why the franchise was ruined.

Ceaser98573612344d ago

I hear DEAD SPACE creator is making an independent studio and he wants to return to Horror games. The Initiative (MS) head congratulated him.

ramiuk12345d ago

loved all of them,what a series and imo nothing like it since

prankster1012345d ago

This series needs a remaster. Maybe release it as a box set?

annoyedgamer2345d ago

That's about the only thing that EA can make without ruining it. However given AAA publishers reluctance to remaster older and superior titles, a remaster would be unlikely.

DarXyde2345d ago

Unlikely, sure, but not out of the question.
They did it with Burnout Paradise, a remaster I'm not sure anyone was asking for.

Given how loved Dead Space is and the fact that EA is good and well losing their value steadily, they're going to need to curry favor with gamers.

Would they take a risk and release a new game people might hate... or remaster an established game to play it safe?

Never say never is all I'm saying.

I don't want anybody that isn't Visceral making it. I'd rather it stay dead than change hands as horrible as that is to say.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken169d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95169d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn169d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb169d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno169d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex168d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69417d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay417d ago (Edited 417d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69417d ago (Edited 417d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga417d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw416d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree416d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake417d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC417d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay417d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman417d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay416d ago (Edited 416d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman416d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
