Glen Schofield "hates" the fact that some people got their hands on Modern Warfare 3 early, but is resistant to the idea that multiplayer stats should be reset on Tuesday even if some players are up to 3rd Prestige already.
Sector sat down with Glen Schofield—creator of Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol—during the Game Developers Session (GDS) in Prague to discuss the evolution of the game industry, the current challenges of AAA development, and why it's become so hard to get original ideas off the ground in today’s risk-averse environment.
It’s easy enough to say that, but why? It feels weird to me when developers say this but common sense would tell you everything about the idea itself should work.
The idea of the concept seems like a winner at whichever angle you look at it so why would publishers not greenlight it?
… it’s almost as if the majority of publishers are massively incompetent at their jobs. But there’s no surprise to anyone there.
Dead Space creator Glen Schofield has confirmed that EA rejected his pitch for a fourth entry in the survival horror game series.
WOW! To think that a new Dead Space actually got pitched in 2024, only to be rejected! All EA cares about is GaaS sports and BF milk.
They tried to reboot it with a remake but evidently not enough people bought it. Great game, too.
I bought it full price, but it was on sale for 9 bucks by the end of the year. Sad
Maybe EA didn't trust the team/Schofield after Callisto? And maybe the pitch was even inferior to Callisto?
We might never know and can only guess.
EA probably didn't want the backlash and opposition towards new games we constantly see these days
Dead Space is not really a series that needs to be more than the original trilogy imo. The story wasnt really that engaging with all the religious nonsense.
By all means though make another space horror not set in the same universe as DS with similar mechanics, some mystery and that would be better. Too bad EA sucks.
“By all means though make another space horror not set in the same universe as DS with similar mechanics, some mystery and that would be better.”
Schofield already tried that with Callisto Protocol. It wasn’t better.
I thought it was a pretty good game (Callisto) . Better? No, but it was enjoyable for me. I don’t buy shorter games at full price so maybe I felt I got my moneys worth for 20$
I’d rather see a continuation of the remakes and change DS3 so much it’s basically a new game
The ending of DS3 was terrible and the lore…Necromorph moons was just silly in my opinion
Hopefully DS4 would have been better then DS3. Shame EA scrapped it Dead Space is my favorite horror I love space horror games.

I don't get why they care so much if they are legit pre-orders. Piracy I understand getting upset over but getting a few days early meh.
"but is resistant to the idea that multiplayer stats should be reset on Tuesday"
They probably don't have the tools to do it.
Doesn't matter to me as I am not getting this game Day 1. I'll probably wait until xmas anyway. But even if I was getting it Day 1, it still wouldn't matter to me. I don't put stock in meaningless gamerstats.
Geting sick of this shiz now.
Activision:
DO NOT SEND THE GAME OUT BEFORE MONDAY 7TH.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THE GAME EARLY, NOT EVEN STAFF CAN GET EARLY COPIES.
STATS SHOULD BE RESET ON TUESDAY
DO NOT SPOIL BLAH BLAH BLAH
IF YOU HAVE AN EARLY COPY, DONT RELEASE A REVIEW UNTIL TUESDAY
OH CRY ME A F**KING RIVER. It's a bloody game, not a file that will change the world. All this reprocaution over 1 silly overpriced game. Literally! Any other game is around £30-£40 in the UK. Activision had to go up to £45!
@hotskys
Not mad. I'm just plain sick of Activision thinking they're better than any other developer. If I got Skyrim a week early, Bethesda wouldnt even give a damn. Nor would Ubisoft with Assassins Creed and so on, so why is Activision so special?
didnt they reset the stat in the last mw? i hope they do its technically cheating when you are not even supposed to be playing yet. so i guess them having full control over the leader boards that i read on here is not going to do any good for us legit people.
