Why isn't Dead Space Extraction a third person game?

NintendoDpad writes:
"When it was announced a Dead Space game was coming to Wii, most fans of the original and many new-comers were excited by the fact that a prequel was coming out. Although, when it was revealed that the game would be an on-rails shooter, most soon began to question just why they didn't go third person shooter?"

I know the Wii could do a quality third person Dead Space, to bad they went where a lot of other big franchise games have gone....on-rails. I like the genre just feel Dead Space would be better played in third person on Wii.

looks good. house of the dead style creepy though

matey5785d ago

the devs said they could do the same graphics on a 3rd person dead space if that was what they thought they wanted but for this game were going for a new take on the arcade shooter and calling it guided fps abit more freedom than usual but im not bothered the game looks as atmospheric as the last 1 and when i seen extraction i thought along with alot of people including IGN 360/wii team that it was dead space 2 so graphics must be amazing due to dead space 1 being 1 of the best looking titles to date on the 360 i think weve been getting had over on our wii games when u consider this but better late than never bring on dead space 2 wii/360/ps3 or on wii maybe abit later than other 2 versions but with IR pointing controls wow

Two reasons:

1. The Wii isn't powerfull enough to pull of the effects and physics needed for a 3D game like it is on 360/PS3. So they dumb it down to on rails
2. The audience of 50 to 60 mln. that owns a Wii needs to be guided by the hand through a game. They aren't real gamers. So its all for the quick fun, easy jump in gaming. Here you go, you only need to point and shoot

And thats it folks!

Dead Space Extraction better than the original Dead Space?

Okaaaaay...

lucian2291053d ago

I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.

Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.

Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.

Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.

lucian2291052d ago

I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.

MIDGETonSTILTS171052d ago

There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.

The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.

Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.

VersusDMC1052d ago

Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.

Xenial1052d ago

As simple as 1,2,3.

Extraction, then Ignition.

EA Talks About Closing Visceral And Single-Player Games

The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.

"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"

What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.

Ashlen2787d ago

How can you say this.

"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."

And then say this in the very next paragraph.

"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."

I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
