Out of the closet: EA admits to E3 Dead Space 3 reveal
One of the worst kept secrets in gaming, Dead Space 3 is now officially official and no longer the stuff of rumors. Electronic Arts confirmed to IGN that the next entry in their spook house in space series will be revealed during the publisher's press conference next week on June 4th. It seems the third installment is looking to change things up considerably, trading the cramped corridors of the USG Ishimura and the Sprawl for the more open environments of a necromorph infected ice planet. Not only that, but the rumors of the Dead Space 3 featuring co-op is looking more likely after the recent reveal of new character Sergeant John Carver. Which reminds me, I still have a nearly-finished copy of Dead Space 2 sitting on the shelf just waiting to be played. And look, the sun's going down. What timing. Well folks, sorry to leave you hanging but I have space zombies to kill. Look for more news straight from the Los Angeles Convention Center here next week. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'm worried about this. More open environments and more players makes me think this game will focus a lot more on action. The co-op would be infinitely more appealing if it were Isaac and Ellie. Then we could have some cool stuff going. From those 9 leaked screenshots, it seems the co-op will be completely optional (of course) and with the other character only being there at all during said co-op.
And I'm fine with that. Why can't we just have a single player survival horrorish game anymore? Why do we have to cram MP components into it? Why do we have to cram other genre's into it? (Even though I have less of an issue with this than the former). I just want a scary game, and adding more people into the mix dumbs that down. Another game that will be too scary for me to ever consider playing. Anyone wanna play it for me while I watch? As long as the co-op is legitimately optional and doesn't break the stellar single player experience I've come to expect from the Dead Space franchise, whatever, tack it on.
I'm not even worried about the whole ice planet thing. That just makes me think of The Thing, and that is definitely a good thing. Thing. Thingthingthingthingthing. Thing. The thing about Dead Space for me is, I loved the second game and beat it, so then I bought the first game, and its been sitting on my shelf since I pussied out. 2:00 PM on 05.15.2013 Game music on guitar like you've never heard beforeTop honors for this month's Note Worthy go to a new guitar duo, The Altered Beasts, who you may recognize as the guitar players from the best game music cover band out there, The OneUps.
