EA has fomally announced Dead Space, a brand new sci-fi survival horror that's being billed as a videogame imagining of Event Horizon and Alien. Check out the first 12 screens below.

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.
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? 🤷♂️
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?
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
....looks quite cool. Hope EA don't f-it up.
Great... Now I can be a Big Daddy in space =]
I don't get it. All these developers talking about making 'psycological horror games'. They fail to realize that the psycological fear goes to waste when they end up making games were the only scary thing is the way the enemies look. It's scary for 2 mins then you get used to it and the game feels like any other third person shooter. You don't even think about what it is you're shooting at. They should make a game that is more sound/environment/lighting and mood oriented and not just focused on the killing. They need to build up the enemies character traits before they can make them scary, like Pyramid head from Silent Hill. The Silent Hill games have some of the mood traits I'm looking for, but after a while they also end up serving the player with mindless killing.
I love the character design though, it's not often that the hero looks that evil. I'd love a psychological horror game were you play as an anti-hero, with multiple personalities if possible ;)
The newest G.I. mag. has a cover story on this game which got my hyped as all hell for it. A main gameplay mechanic is Dismemberment; since most of the weapons in the game are mining tools(a 3 beam plasma cutter is featured in the preview), you often dont have much ammo at all, and are forced to instead aim for the many dismemberment points on the creatures(pretty much a grotesque version of Halo's Flood). you also have a stasis gun, which freezes in time the object you shoot(lots of puzzles with this), and a Kinesis gun (telekinesis in a gun). So you can dismember the spiked arm of a necromorph, then use your kinesis gun to control the arm and cut cut his legs off followed by the head. sic!
